I thought about this for a mini pole barn, 16' by 7'. Now you have confirmed it. Thank you. Will place 2 blocks stacked one on the other below grade with 1.5" above grade...
Thanks for this. ..I needed to build cabin off ground due to cold and wet and this is exactly what I needed.
This music made me keep waiting for Christian Slater to come into the video and do something 80’s movie style. Never happened 😔 but good tips 🤟🏼
Great idea.. thanks
thanks
glad I could help
Thank you for your production. I'm toying with various options for homemade blocks like these, as Foundation Blocks (Australian name) are too depleting for the wallet at a price of AU$19 each!
I'm considering making reusable location guides (for the concreted-in brackets), which fit diagonal on the 190x190x190mm half hollow blocks, to speed accurate positioning.
+John Klumpp I like your idea about the guides for the brackets.. How did your project turn out?
Still in planning. I just may go with a combination of foundation ideas because of odd requirements.
Consider; the garden shed kit is primarily for housing a RideOn Mower (42" cut) and I want at least fully cemented wheel tracks (90cm outer & 36cm gap - 200cm in length) to run from door inwards. Now the shed is 210cm wide and 280cm deep.

Already plan to widen door gap, to allow for cutting deck width of 130cm, by taking one 37.5cm wide panel from wider door-jam and adding that to door width. As designed shed has 75cm on wider jam which I'll reduce to a second single 37.5cm wide panel.
The rest of floor, outside - behind - and between, wheel tracks; is where I am free and these surfaces may end up as floor boards ----- or not! As I own an electric mixer (like below) my options are flexible:

This is great I need to anchor my new Gazebo and this will work just fine..
+Gabe Gonzalez Thanks happy to help.
Cool music.
Smart!!!
good idea
+Sebastjans Slavitis Thank you
Thanks for the info, buy why do people feel the need to put very loud music in their video?
Yes true I agree
New to making videos 🤷♂️
Yep, really annoying music track.
One of the better bumper music out there
Hey at 2:10 you can hear the "wood against concrete" track .... was a top 40
Nice job....who is the bumper music?
Thank you. Could you give us the reference of the music you play ?
how do you remove the chopstick after that?
+Jennifer Lin I just broke them off you dont have to use chop sticks...any thing that would do a similar job would work....some times you can find them in a large pack for cheap...cheaper than bought dowels...might get away with plastic utensils,also...chop sticks most of the time are tapered so tap them lightly on the narrow end with a small hammer or other.😀
Burn it
Karate chop
Do you mean add concrete mix to water? Cement in water won't have any strength.
Dope
I just went and bought some, cost about five bucks each.
They dont sell this "Dobie block" style in some states. I know here in NY its hard if not impossible to find them.
Smashing idea and I'm typing in just my pants
+Bertie Blue sounds fun
How are you removing the concrete blocks from the block?
You dont thats part of the build
U don't, use it like that
Oh my
@@RandomEndeavors you do know that concrete doesnt adhere to itself. these are unstable blocks. better to make a wood frame and poor your own blocks that way
@@teeonhighhill8827 thats why this is for small project's that dont require and engineered footing...also the largest concrete poor the Hoover Dam was done in Sections on top of the previous layers
Not deep enough for support of post with any height. Sorry, but not going to work for me.
If you know what is correct then why are you watching the video einstein? Your most likely a commie liberal
@@qumandanpanjshiri5874 LOL.............
@@Jess-ew9ql If you only want it to last a few years then yes. If you're shooting for 10 or more years, no.
With inflation now probably like 10-13 dollars a block to make .
Hard to read the caption, wood in contact with concert, a big no, riots fast, pressure treated or not
Music is annoying.
Yes I know, I one of the first videos I've ever posted. Can't change. Thanks for you honest opinion, it does help me make better videos. But unfortunately once you post on UA-cam you can't change it
So you want to build something heavy, and you're going to use some rando's idea off of YT instead of a pittance for actual hi-PSI concrete piers specially designed for heavy loads?
Sure, whats the worse that could happen.
I'd be less inclined to down vote this vid if he at least explained why using highest PSI bag of concrete was worth the extra $1.50, or, that using the cheapest cinder block open bricks was weakest vs CMU blocks.
I guess the positive is that few people will actually make these, and the ones that will might win a Darwin Award and help out the gene pool.
I fkn hate it when people talk in tounges.. da fk does that mean????
