Yes, we finished it. And we have some photos of it. Though they are not on our website. I can let you know when they are uploaded. Thank you for your kind words.

The gravel allows for water to flow around it. And at the same time allows for the concrete to be poured on top of it.

I wish we could work all over the country, that would be awesome! Currently we are only able to offer design and pre-construction services nation wide. The fence is vinyl, so essentially a pvc type product, designed to withstand the UV rays and outdoor weather for a very long time. Thank you for your kind words. And I am glad you’re enjoying our channel/videos/ideas.

Good idea. Thank you

Haha, the point and reason behind having it be engineered is to ensure it’s calculated and for-sure going to work. We live in an earthquake zone, and so factoring those things in is important to me. Long ago we decided to build our projects strong, and right never taking short cuts or doing things the easy way. And at the same time we’re build a reputation that is also strong, a reputation of doing things the way they should be done.

I’m sorry, no, I don’t know anyone your way.

Not on this one.

Thank you!

That could be a good way to go too - if you have a sump pump. A lot of these houses don’t have one.

We live and operate in Utah. It is a desert, and it works very well here. Sorry we weren’t more help for you in this video.

Thanks!

If the home already has that then yes. If not, no.

I would grind the concrete flat if I were do do that. You can also consider polished concrete, and stained polished concrete too. Very durable and awesome for flooding and damage like that etc.

Some water may still be there, but it should go down after some time.

Placing three foundation walls and then putting the drain on all three would be a great way to go if you need a French drain along your foundation.

Generally between $4-6k depending on what needs to be done, and the accessibility to the drain.

The minimum width for a stair case is 36”, the foundation wall adds 8” to that so, that is just under 4’. It is very tight and may or may not work for you.

Yes, we do. Please request a consultation on our website.

Yes. It is quite robust and works very well in the right applications.

No, we have not applied anything for efflorescence. Sorry not to be of more assistance to you. Good luck!

Yes, you can remove them after they are installed. Simply prying on them by hand is enough for the springs to allow the light to be removed. Just don’t have your finger in the way of the spring… or you’ll feel more like a mouse in a trap than someone wanting to change their light’s color. It’s painful the first time it happens, but if it happens to you, you’ll never let it happen twice! Good luck with your lighting project, let me know if your lights have the same sort of spring set up, or if yours was designed differently.

Yes, 16” is a good spacing for those.

Yes, look into auto vents. How they work, and where to put them. This is how you’ll be able to vent properly without having to run vent pipe all the way up thru the roof when finishing the basement.

To make structural connections between structural members yes, we use epoxy. The stairs are not considered structural, and that rebar is not epoxied in place, as it is not required to be epoxied by structural requirements.

No, we won’t leave it there. You’re right.

Awesome! I’m glad you liked the idea!

Glad you liked the video. Thanks for the comment!

I’m sorry to hear your walkout has been a nightmare. You can put stucco or siding around the door to fill the huge gap, or you can order a custom door size to fit the opening you have. You could also order a door with side lights, that would really look nice. You’ve got options at this point from what it sounds like to me.

If you’d like to schedule a consultation you can on our website dansiedesignbuild.com

Those are great tools. I wish they made tools for concrete cutting on foundation walls!

Glad you like our videos!

$15-20k depending on the options and what details the door will has. This door was super creative and turned out absolutely wonderful.

Awesome! Hobbit houses are so magical and truly a fun place to be.

We can build it either way. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Clients think both ways look better/worse. It’s all personal preference, and special requirements of the property.

There are definitely ways to do that. And I agree, everyone should do it. We did not do it on these as the owners wanted to do it later. Plaster is the most common way to go. Stucco also works well and allows for any color you’d like. Painting the walls is not recommended.

Here is a video of a walkout we plastered the walls on. Touring a New Finished Basement Walkout Entry ruclips.net/video/Mdh9aZvagg0/видео.html

It depends on the specific requirements for each project, so it varies some from project to project, but in general somewhere between $5-7k is pretty normal.

5- 7 k for plumbing or the whole basement??

I’m sorry to hear you feel this is too much. This video is old/outdated prices. It’s much more now. We do great work and stand behind our service. Construction in general is not cheap, and to do things right is actually the best and most affordable in the long run - despite feeling like it’s a lot upfront. Thanks for the comment! Have a nice day :)

Short answer: With an empty 55 gallon barrel down below, I would think you should be doing just fine. Typically we use one 5 gallon bucket and have never had any issues with flooding. If you’d like to talk to me you can schedule a consultation on our website and I’d be happy to help you get a good plan in place for your drain. We have some calculations we can run to design the size of the drain. If you’re interested.

That’s a great idea! We made a few videos on this project, and will put them into a playlist. When we get our next Hobbit house project we’ll be sure to make more hobbit videos! :)

That’s awesome! Congratulations on making the decision to do a walkout! I wish we could serve you over in Ontario. If you’d like to schedule a call with me, I’d be happy to answer any questions you may be having. Request a consultation on my website and I look forward to chatting with you :)
