I was following and enjoying your videos! Great job! Is crawl space venting not required in your area? I thought I've seen it in your plans, but never seen you install those!
Hey, great question! The house has a utility room with the water heater and electrical panel, and in that room there is a 2x2 panel in the floor that can be lifted so someone can go under the house if needed.
Hey good question! The support beams are not attached to the concrete at all, only to the wood girders. The supports are held in place by friction, and the weight of the house, once the house is complete the supports are locked solid in place. To know how many supports to use, it was shown on my foundation plans. I let the engineers calculate that part.
@@LabSkaterPussies I got my plans from a online house plan website and all plans come with foundation plans. If you had your own house plans you could send them to an engineering company and they could create a foundation plan based on your plans.
On this floor the joist span is short so blocking in-between isn't needed. For the plumbing it was all put in once the house was up and dried in, so under the floor is all the water lines and drain pipes
We put on a wood sealer, the same thing that people paint onto wood decks. It was the rainy season and we had to water seal the floor since osb doesn't do well with rain.

@AlexaTaganrog Hey thanks! I don't remember if it made it into a video but we did install vents for the crawlspace and put in a vapor barrier as well
How would you get underneath your house, if you have to fix something like plumbing?

did the OSB have a release agent to help the concrete not to stick to them and make them come off easier?
No release agent, it just fell right off.
@@slothconstruction awesome thanks!
At 11:18, what are you spreading on the sub-floor?
We were putting down a coat of water sealer
What’s the plan for the crawl space surface under the first floor? Exposed dirt, stone, concrete?
@@bemyers123 We installed a vapor barrier in the crawlspace once the house was finished
@@slothconstruction 👍🏼
How are you attaching those wood support beams to the concrete pillars underneath? And how do you know how many you need to support the floor/house?

@@slothconstruction That's for the info! Is there a special kind of company for foundation plans or do you just go to a contractor?

What was the liquid you painted on the subfloor?
We used Thompson water sealer
Appreciate your video - please consider turning off the background music while you're talking - it's hard to hear your dialog. Thanks!
Thanks! I did change that in future videos
No blocking between floor gurders ?
No plumbing under floor ?

Please what was that you poured on the floor and why

@@slothconstruction make sense
Where were you fishing at?😁
Small lake/camp ground named o'haver
