Nudura Frost protected foundation DIY
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- We are building a Nudura Frost protected foundation for a camp. I will show you how we do it and you can save yourself some money. This is a good foundation for areas where it is to wet to do a full basement or there is bedrock or stone and to difficult to excavate.
I certainly like your demeanour, right attitude, good approach and method.
Great content
Cheers from Oz
Thanks for the comments I really appreciate them 😊😊
I like how your so calm and treat your employees. that will always make the job go smooth.👍👍
There are very few bad jobs, just bad bosses.
@@BillB23 Agree 100% buddy.
I try and make it fun but get it done also. They love its and it makes it enjoyable for you folks to watch. win win. 😊👍
You're a great teacher. Thank you for your videos. I'm doing something very similar that will be a full height wall. Your trick/use of the blocks and string at the BOTTOM of the wall is first time I have seen. THANK YOU. Your attention to detail is awesome.
That lady rocks...... Shovelin' concrete. And when all else fails, get the Kubota to dump concrete.
Thanks we had a somewhat crazy day but Karl the kubota saved us again. Yes Jess is a heck of a worker. 👍👍
Bondo.... me thinks you need Uncle Jimmy on the job. Buy me lunch and I’ll work from dawn to dusk. LOL Good video. Keep us in the loop on this project.
I'll keep you in the loop uncle Jim. 👍👍 This project is gonna be a fun one. I have to feed big Buiscuit you know uncle Jim. LOL
Why not use a laser to check distance?
Bondo....Who is the pretty and helpful lady in the video? 👀😊👉👌
Thats Jess. 😊
Pythagorean... 24' x 36 ' has a hypotenuse (diagonal) of 43' 4 - 3/16"
calculator:
24 [sqr-x] 24 squared = 576
[M+] add to memory
36 [sqr-x] 36 squared = 1296
[M+] add to memory
[MR] recall memory = 1872
1872 [sqr root-x] = 43.266
43.00 FT'
+ 0.25 FT * 12" = 4"
+ 0.016 * 12" = 0.19" or 0.1875" = 3/16"
I love watching your videos.
Just wish you were building something for me.
Looks great. I had the exact same set up yesterday with a 50' telescoping conveyor and a second truck dumping on to it. My site was also tight so we had to push around 10 wheel barrows to hit the back footings.
Love your videos, they've helped me a bunch.
Adam thats awesome buddy I'm glad to help my fellow tradesmen. We are a dying breed my friend. 👊👊
Here's a gratuitous comment to help your algorithm. You're flirting with 10K subs.
Thanks Bill I appreciate that buddy. 👊👊
Just remember, if it was easy everyone would be doing it! Many a time we got the mixers buried and had to get the Wrecker (Mother) to come in to get them out. Some jobs were memorable. We didn't use pumps much and would double and a few times triple chute with 16' chutes to get it in, as long as there was height for it. fun times though
Making the best out of it. Going to be a great camp
Thanks Ed I think so as well 👍
I like you guys and your channel. I think the excavator on that particular project sucks and is incompetent. I’d have never left a site in such a handicapped state thus crippling every crew with soil that’s not graded for drainage or leaving huge rocks to stumble and drive over unnecessarily, creating unsafe tripping hazards as well as making it difficult for the trucks. You are way more patient than I
Make the back of the box out of plywood and you end up with more concrete behind the beam pocket. I guess you have an 8" wall instead of a 6" wall so who cares.
I don't remember those clips when I did my Nudura foundation. Did they change the design of them in the last 20 years? I had no issues without them.
I always bend the short hook out slightly on the vertical tie that hooks on the dark black corner tie. And I always put that short hook on that side.
I can’t picture what you are saying here. I do want a rebar bender this year though. 👍
What is your overall opinion of ICF and the Nudura system? We’re going to build a walkout home on a lakefront property and We live in a northern climate
What is name of your company and website or landing page info to get in touch?
Ya...ya gotta show the real thing..( thats what youre doing) because there are all kinds of variables..anyone whos ever worked in the trades for a living understands. You learn from all this $!#+.. Lol...im getting more familiar the more of these that I watch. So I like em, and I got ideas of my own...its all the same though( the string lines and blocks..that common seam thing too...im going to keep watching
Awesome Marc thanks for watching and the comments help my channel too. 😊😊
dont do common seams an inch here or there wont make a difference 2" intervals
Ron, what do you plan to use as a heat source? And is the rigid foam on the outside new code?
Hi Dan the heat will be a propane on demand. The foam is to protect from frost due to the footers only going down 30" instead of 48". The foam replaces all that dirt so the wall can be shorter. 👍
Rigid foam has been used for several decades
So many tips and in a way you trained all of us. Keep going. Any reason why crawl space foundation rather than slab on grade with footers on the perimeter
Thanks glad you liked it. The homeowner wanted access to the plumbing so thats why we did it crawlspace. 👍
We used a crawl space to make installing a hardwood floor easy.
@@neverknow69 Awesome 👍😊
As usual, Bondo shows very well the details of the making. That is really helpful. Thank you!
A beautiful lot by the way.
Thanks I am glad you enjoy the videos buddy. 😊👍
good job keep the videos coming
Thanks Richard will do. 👍
Very nice system. I have never worked with it yet
How do you do inspections. Do they inspect rebar before you pour, or do you just tale pictures?
Good videos and channel!
It depends on where I am working. some are good with pics or videos some want to look before we pour. Thanks 😊
How did big biscuit get his nickname
Why not tapcon some boards to the footings at the corners and middle so the blocks don’t kick out
We spray foam them and they never move. I have done many this way.
Bondo Question four you. For windows and doors do you cut them out while you are building he wall or after?
Hi aRyan we cut them before the pour bud.
Caps on rebar for safety. Eye safety when you bend over your can see what could happen
True Craig
Another awesome job
Hey Bondo nice job here. I'm getting ready to have my first experience with Nudura in a few weeks here in Utah. It's hard to understand since I retired 4 years ago from this crap. LOL... But since it's my own shit I'm coming out of retirement for this job. Anyway, will you tell me about what the price of those blocks are in your area so I have an idea when the local distributor gives me a quote. I always like to know beforehand about what they should be so I know if I'm getting my ass reamed or not. Thanks man.
Thanks glad you liked it.👍 Probably be fun because its your own house. The blocks are gonna run you a litte ove $50 a piece. you doing the house all the way or just foundation?
@@bondobuilt386 : Thanks for the info. Really appreciate it. It's just gonna be an addition actually. Adding a Cold Storage under a larger front porch in the basement at about 27x8. And extending one end of the house 10'- the house is 30' deep so adding a 10'x30' area to the house (basement and main level). Also adding a 35'x40' attached garage to the end of the house getting the extension. Gonna just use the ICF because I sold all my forms and other crap when I retired and I sure don't feel like renting and bucking up forms on a 8' basement. ICF should be easy and I'm seeing all the fun you and your guys are having I just can't resist the pain. LOL... The main level will all be stick framed to match what is already there; it's a 1968 house that we bought in 2018. I guess I'm just too stupid or high strung to fully understand what "retirement" means.
@@TrailTrackers That sounds like a fun project. Ya I wouldn't want to haul the forms in and out. I used to do block basements. Im done doing them. LOL Any questions on the build hit me up on here bud. 👍
That was great to see thumbs up and shared thank you for the video. :)
Thanks Richard. I’m glad you liked it. Thanks for the share buddy. 👍
Hi Ron,
I was just on a site that was critiquing 3d printed houses and they were saying concrete has a problem with cracking no matter whether fiber or rebar is installed and it got me wondering does the same thing happen with Nadura and other similar products. They were focusing on the aesthetics and I'd venture the counter argument to that is it would be hidden with Nadura and similar products. Has anyone done an investigation into the cracking happening with Nadura and similar?
You are a treasure trove of facts about anything to do with cement.
You bondo sure do good work
Getting er done in not so ideal conditions👍 making utube great again one video at a time🤣😁😂
Thanks Rod. I’m trying bud. Lol 😁😁
Great work over coming the short reach of the truck!
Thanks Tom. Sometimes gotta think outside the box. 😊
And your crew
🇨🇦
Assume
Looking forward to seeing the pictures of the job
What did you think of the site mixed concrete ? Did you have any trouble getting the slump correct on it ?
It was a bit for him to dial it in. I think there is a big learning curve on that truck. The company giving me a good price on concrete so I’m working with them for some stuff. I think it is good concrete though. 👍👍
@@bondobuilt386 I worked for a guy in Toronto 23 yrs ago , he always used water reducer in the batch to get enough flow to get it in around the webs . It was an early set mix , by the time you made one trip around with the pump the bottom pour was firm enough for the next . We always pumped with a double 90 and a reducer to reduce it to 3" . never had a blowout with that setup . The last bunch I worked with in Quinte just keep dumping water into it to get it to move , they are going to have a big mess on their hands some day . If your supplier is keen on the business from you he will have to get it dialed in . I think the stop /start of the mixer auger plays with the slump somewhat , I wonder if it really has enough time to mix properly before it is out of the chute for these types of applications
@@stevecook7551 This company is working on a concrete mix for me with a high range water reducer / super plasticizer in it. It will be from his batch plant and not this truck. I'm looking forward to it and I will be testing it in a couple weeks. 👍👍
How do you brace your walls and make sure they are square?
Your patience is to be admired.
Very informative video 👍
So the Gal is the the one you shoveled the roof with
Yes she is working with us this summer.
@@bondobuilt386 I think we were all impressed with how hard she worked on that roof
I think she'll fit right in
@@jamesoneil7768 Yes she is a hard worker. 👍
Does the spray foam ever lift the forms off the footer from the expansion? I would be a little worried, since they are so light. Also nice use of the Camarata multi-tool to cut that pipe sleeve in! Lol 👍
It doesn't if you use window foam ,it has all those nub holes to fill In too.
I think that is why they recommend having a full stack done first, but Bondo likes to stack two courses to make the slab pour easier.. I guess there are Pros and Cons either way you do it..
It does not lift the foam because the nubs give it a place to go. And I use the maximum expanding because its stronger then window foam. 👊
@@jamesonkruger6989 yup but either does the maximum. 👍
@@FJB2020 I would rather have just one course in then pour my floor. Ended up doing this one different because of the weather. crappy day did wall pour then the floor the next day it was nice out. 😊 Poured the floor yesterday.
