Next time, you use the plastic tube as a level instead of water use black tea it is easy to see ever a few meters away
An old gentleman showed me this, and it just worked great
All of the best with the build
Squinting won't save your eye when those abrasive wheels come apart, and they will. You will need two really big boulders so that when the speeders lose it on the curve they can hit those instead of your beautiful wall.
Matt keep up the good work, but wear some safety glasses when using the grinder I have had some close calls before.
you guys are on a roll. One thing you dont want to learn on your own is why you need safety glasses with that grinder. Have fun be safe :)
Exactly my thoughts
The last time I saw anyone bend steel with their bare hands, it was Superman. You da man, Matt!
I'm afraid it won't happen but i'd be so proud to meet you both. The world would be a lot better place with more people like you in it. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤
MATT YOUB HAVE A HEART OF GOLD
In every episode, whether its on the boat or on land, there are knowledgeable people in the comments, with all good intent, advising Matt on how something could have been done easier or better. But they are usually people who are only knowledgeable about that specific task. I doubt that there are very many people who have, with no prior experience, tackled and conquered the number of projects that Matt has embraced since this channel started.
LOVE the INGENUIS way you BENT the REBARB...
In the USA, that Concrete would have been rejected on most job sites. If a slump test was done it would have collapsed. Maybe that’s what works in Puerto Rico? I honestly don’t know.
Sorry, that is not true at all... 90% of footings only need to be 4500psi concrete. Even 10inch slump 5 Sack will give you that... Plus it is in the ground which means it will be wet most the time... Concrete gets hard by a chemical reaction not because it dry's... You can pour concrete underwater and it will get hard... so those footings will be stronger in 5 years than they are the first 6 months due to being damp most the time in that weather.
Hey Matty Boy, it's your wall. You're digging it pouring it, etc. Build it however the hell you want!! Keep it up, I've been equally impressed as I am jealous!!
The old seadog has a nice channel and its about sailing !!!!!!!!!
The footing came out good. The concrete was pretty wet (too much H2O), but it made it flow for sure. You could probably put a small skyscraper on that footing.The three of you did a good job. " Rebar Rebecca ", "Concrete Cathy", & Matt.
👍 & 👋 for the most unique and utilitarian use of a Toyota Taco I've ever seen.
Most of the Taco's in my neck of the woods are total -rock- mall parking-lot crawlers.
And, taking into consideration hurricanes and earthquakes, _build the heck_ out of that wall!
good job guys. spray that footer down with water a couple times a day for the next 2 weeks. let her reach full psi. concrete stops curing when it runs out of water. keep it wet! its building psi for the next 28 days, over %80 in the first 14 days
I thought you’d call yourself Stephen Steelburg out there making movies and bending steel lol. I love all the different names you come up with. 😂
That woulda been perfect!
"Nomadic Adventure", who built their home in Panama, bent ALL their rebar for footers, etc. They have a metal plate with 2 bars sticking up that bends it! Hard work!!! 🎄♥️💚🎅
Bending #5 by hand is very impressive ! A tip for the next project ( your house footings ) = do all the straight runs first, then do the bends in short pieces ! Get a rebar bending device ; they’re cheap ! 😊
no its not. Its not that hard. i've used a door and done it
A bending jig is simple to make with iron pipe; to insert the rebar into the pipe on hinged boards and bend, then pull the hinged pin to remove. Makes nice tight bends at any needed angle.
You do more with less than anybody I have ever watched build anything. GANGSTA ENGINEERING at its finest. You amaze me every week. Cheers from Austin, TX
Concrete guy here, #5 is very tough to bend. All in all, an outstanding job.
You are amazing. We are your biggest fans.🥰
Kitten’s getting eye infections is really common. We treat ours with Terramycin gel. Just wipe their eyes clean with a warm damp cloth and put just a bb sized drop in their eye and let it do its thing. You can even treat the cats who do not have an infection with it to prevent them from getting it too. Keep using it 2 or 3 days after the eyes clear up to prevent a reoccurrence.
That was me too, Matt. I'm the demolition guy. I assisted in the beautification part.
Those foundations look ACE!!!
Hi guys new sub here (English) living in Thailand. Your first comment about people saying your footings are way too deep for a wall.
It costs a lot more money and time to fix skinny work. I say belt and braces, never have had to go back.
Love your stuff guys, brave very brave. Keep them coming.
Good bad an ready. Keep after it. Fun watching you work hard. Your boat misses you...
I love your Mackinac City shirt because it's about 25 miles from our home. Good job on your build!
There's an old saying in construction which goes "How do you tell a good carpenter from a bad carpenter? A good carpenter is skilled at hiding his mistakes."
I think "Concrete Connie" has a nice ring to Kristen's new tagline ;)
Matt, it'll be epic! Stucco is easy, you won't have problem with that and the painting. Nice wall. Merry Christmas from the USA!
Hey Mat that job you done inside the boat was pretty dang fine your block wall will be great.👍
Matt, you are a far cry from being a no nothing contractor! The skills that you show us with each project are amazing, so don’t be so self deprecating! BTW, what is going on with your boat? You kids put so much time and love into making it so beautiful, I hope you still have it moored somewhere and can use it again soon. Of course sailing with all of your cars may be another challenge,
You two are so real, I love it, as a caregiver that’s bound to the house I look forward to seeing you every week God Bless you, Your Alaskan friend 🙏❤️
When all is said and done, YOU WILL HAVE THE BEST HOUSE ON THE ISLAND... Cannot wait...
Quick advice on your Block wall, build up three rows high on your corners, and then layer string line to lay The block in between and out to the ends. Continue adding more rows after you do the first ones in the same manner until you have it as high as you want. Remember to take your time getting your blocks level front to back and end to end in the corners and it will make it easy to keep them level as you go across. You’ll also find it goes a lot faster then if you try to just lay every block on its own. A trick I learned from an old mason. OK so maybe he wasn’t so old.
Good advice, Matt.
Hey, good morning from Michigan...
A little nippy up here this morning....
The foundation is looking great. Yes, over build that footer.
Ha, the Ole hitch bender.... yep, used it a time or two myself.
It's already done. But for future reference, your overlap is determined by rod diameter.
Roughing rebar is sized in 8ths .
Your no.5bar is 5/8" of a inch.
Convert 5/8" to a decimal =.62 X 50 = 31" overlap... just a FYI for future....you know, incase a inspector ask....😆
Seriously consider using Insulated Concrete Forms for the walls
100% agree Matty. If the local suppliers can give you a good deal then its a complete no brainer to overbuild. Keep up the great work guys!!!
I just love this music SO MUCH! Bending rebar… meh, enjoyable enough. Set to that music? Chefs kiss. Lovely. Thanks for the video.
Great work Matt! Definitely not easy bending 5 bar! Next pour, tell the concrete supplier to put a little less water in it. Ask for a 4-5 slump or so.
I agree. That concrete had way too much water in it. It was self leveling it was so loose.
Still works itll just be a longer drying time
That's what I was thinking too. It looked more like a rock/sand/Portland SOUP than anything else.
@@Michael-uw2ymit works, but it does weaken the concrete mix when there’s too much water added.
Concrete is a chemical crystallization set, and can actually cure underwater if not disturbed. The substrate soil will suck the excess water out fairly quickly, and allow the mixture to chemically harden. If it were a non-absorbant form pour, it would create problems, but this should be just fine.
Your dream is coming to fruition......looking great!
For your first block courses, include a latex binder for putting new mortar to older footing pours. It will make a difference. I used to do artificial rockery casting for zoo enclosures and we bought it by five-gallon buckets. You can get smaller amounts by the gallon jug for the size of your job.
I'm no expert, but I did do cement work for three years. You did a great job. Especially for a novice.
My husband is a welder in Iowa. He works at a pre-pressed concrete company(since 1987) he can make some cool stuff with scarp rebar and tack welds.
Rodbusters, keep up the hard work and build that wall!
For your house, use wood to build a frame around the ditch so that the concrete sticks at least five inches above ground.
You are doing it right, Matt. For the land you are on hurricanes like typhoons can and will blow the wall down.
Matt is one hard working dude.
Thanks again u all are great🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Matt and Kristen, Stucco in a humid, rainy climate can quickly become covered with airborne dirt and black mold. Give consideration to using a paint over the stucco that is, 1. not white, and 2. very washable. Otherwise you'll be repainting the wall every couple of years.
Like your rebar bend. Back yard genius! Love it
Matt you have all the makings of a good home stetter. They have to be able to think outside of the box and be creative and that my friend you have done by just figuring out a way to bend rebar without a tool. You and Kristen are both amazing hardworking people and I wish you all the best May God continue to bless you and give you both many happy healthy and prosperous years together. Please be careful Matt and don't overdo things You don't want to end up hurt or messing your back up take care can't wait till your next video look forward to them each and every week
Nice work just wanted to say if I was putting lights on top I would have put gray PVC electrical conduit in the slab and tied it to the vertical steal for the number 12 wire for lights. Its going to be a really nice wall we watch you every week me and my kids.
Well done, it looks perfect to my untrained eyes 👍, love how you support each other, that's important.❤🥂
Good Morn ya'all
Morn'n
You need a good pair of coveralls Matt
Dam up that creek, create a little swimming pool reservoir, and water wheel for generating electricity!
Funny anecdote.. My husband named our son Mason, (this is 20 yrs ago) and for the 1st few days of his life I could not remember his name, I grew up in a blue collar family, so mason is a trade, not a name. You both are super to watch as a team. Thank you & Happy Holidays.
Hey guys, you probably already know enough about blocks to lay out your corners first and whether you're working with mortar or stucco spray the blocks down with water so they're a little damp. Nothing sticks well to a totally dry block. Good luck.
Another beautiful video in Puerto Rico. Drone shots are exceptional. Looking Good GBU!
Hey Matt, you did a great job. What you poured was enough concrete for a grade beam. All you needed was a spread footing 12 inches deep would’ve been fine 16 inches wider than the block or 8 inches on each side of the block is why we call it a spread footing, your spreading the load of the block. By adding the amount of deadweight in the concrete you poured without the proper reinforcing for a beam only time will tell. A grade beam would have required top and bottom steel and stirrups also called hoops.
Hi Matt and Kristen, Looks good! I can relate to doing all the work yourself. It is much more rewarding to do it yourself. One thing, please be careful about the slump of the concrete. The slump of the concrete can drastically affect the strength of the concrete. The slump is measured by filling a specific size cone with concrete and measuring how much it slumps when the cone is removed. The more water in the concrete the weaker it will be when cured. I am sure it is fine for a retaining wall with all that steel, but you may want to make sure there is not so much water in the concrete when building your house. 😊
Yea that looked like a really really wet pour. Thin soup.
You could consider adding powdered dye directly to the stucco, and then you would not have to paint it. This might be more durable.
Education and learning from other people's mistakes is the best way to learn. It's basically the foundation of UA-cam.
You two are brave and Matt is a beast. I am interested in how the gate is going to go. Attached to the block? Anyway Thank you for another adventure.
My main man , Matt. Sure you don't want to hear this after you have already bent that rebar, but you could have cut through it on the outer side of the bend and bent it by hand. The added support is not needed on the corners and if I am correct you do not have an inspector looking over job. Beleave me bro I am not attempting to stroke you out when I make some comments. Spent a lot of time in like climate conditions. I would use a surface bonding cement and give the wall a concrete finish which will keep moisture out. You can even roll and tip it. Great work guys. Love the video.
Going very well indeed. Watch out the rebars popping up. Danger, danger! Temporary rebar caps is advisable. A concrete vibrator tool helps for a better job
Nicely done. Next time try hammering in stakes beside the hole and use those to form the rebar. If you put a stake on both sides of the rebar for the corners they bend nice. I’m not a pro concrete guy. But I live in the jungle with limited tools. I know the struggle
Every dude myself included, wants to book a ticket to paradise to lend a hand. Nothing like doing this yourself. It does help sometimes to have an opinion to catch a mistake before it’s too late. Hoping you will be able to easily move your trailer. My friend had a beautiful log cabin next to a lake here in Canada called PAIR O DICE ! Cheers take care, and good health , good luck, and good fortune to you and everyone you care for in this big world . Merry Christmas thanks for the videos . Peace on earth and ocean.
My favorite show each week - love love love your projects and journey
i would wait 2 weeks to let that dry out, that way its not shrinking under your wall
You can buy blocks with a notch in the bottom to lay horizontal rebar and pour the wall solid.
U 2 KID'S PROVE OPPOSITES ATTRACT. LUV U BOTH.
Everyone wants a girl who looks at them the way Kristen looks at Matt.
But it is so much better when she is wearing a bikini, looking at him like that. We miss the bikinis, Kristin!
That look.............exactly.
LOL...she' not looking at him because she thinks he hung the moon. She's looking at him measuring his every word, paired with every expression on his face. Like the lioness waiting to pounce with one wrong move...Not everyone wants a girl who looks at them the way Kristen looks at Matt because we know what this will ultimately mean....
They really are the cutest 😊
The problem is we're not all Matt😮 that's why the women don't look at us like that
GREAT JOB YEAH THATS WHAT I LIKE GOOD STRONG FOUNDATION IT'S GONNA LOOK GOOOD GREAT STUFF
Nice one. So glad to see you did a good job on the rebar. Earlier in the episode Matt wasn't happy with something he did. Always remember, good choices come from wisdom. Wisdom comes from bad choices.
Looking good! I think in Texas they ese water leveling. It works really well. Your Block laying should go pretty well. Do the corners 1st, that way you can pull a string line across, and it will stay level. You Tube it LOL
maybe instead of stucco finish you could batten the wall and use bamboo as a cladding, you got alot of bamboo at your place and the chicken coop went well.just a suggestion
Matt you are a frickin beast! I guess we shoulda known that with your MMA background. Not many men would have done that footer.
You called yourself a steel man. In my neck of the woods they were called rod busters. And they were some of the gnarliest strongest men I've ever worked with. And they were really grumpy when the sun was shining hot because that steel was hot as hell. I was a superintendent on multi-million dollar concrete projects for over 15 years straight and nothing but concrete.
God Bless you and the stray cats.
If you are stuccoing don't joint the block, just back trowel them flat.. Only stucco early morning when its cooler.. do 10 feet at a time, use a long steel trowel float and a hawk scoop it on don't pour. GGL wear old clothes...
You both are putting forth a tremendous amount of work getting your property done right. Good job and don't forget a few attaboys as you go.
Looking Good 👍👍👍
Great job M + K she is a great coach.😂❤🇧🇸
No worries on getting it level. Water always seeks its own level.
Yy will be blessed taking care of the stray cats never had cats as pets only dogs
Run vertical #5 rebar 24" oc. Or closer depending on how tall your wall is. Grout reinforce the rebared cells. You can epoxy the vertical rebar as you move along.
In GBU land Footing = Footer.. ..lol. Loving all the progress and waiting for Matty Jr news…
As long as the bar didn't contact the soil and the slump was o.k...looked soupy...well done. Overkill on the footing is fine.
Set the blocks back to the inside of the footer and use some of that River stone to vanear the outside.
matt the more water you add the more the stone will sink to the bottom the goal is to keep your stone mixed in the concrete. So every time you move the concrete the more the stone settles to the bottom. That's why you trie to pour it as stiff as you can. What will happen is the top of the concrete will be weaker than the bottom because of the lack of stone. There is a new type of concrete being made that is self leveling. More expensive but it is designed to be poured like water so you just need to know what type of concrete your getting.
As an engineer I would tell you that you are doing it correctly..
They need to be using a spread footing
From New Orleans- y’all, like us, WILL get multiple hurricanes. Money (costs) are relative. IMHO- you, us, can never “overbuild” for our areas. Awesome foundation.
You co have filled two test blocks to get it tested simple good job Matt🇮🇳🙏🥂
Matt should go and help finish the wall in TX ! No one would be able to dig underneath it
before getting caught!
ANOTHER FUN VIDEO ! THANKYOU !
hard woork! respect!!!!
Its Never bad to over engineer Matt, it will survive earthquakes and hurricanes!
Steel is the key! Get it Matty!
