    Hi.
    As usual, I'm watching you with great interest, especially as you're doing things quite similar to what I'm doing too - messing around with renovating an old wooden house.
    However, in the case of this foundation, I wanted to alert you to a problem that could cost you a lot of extra work in the future.
    The worst enemy of wood is moisture. If I observed correctly in the video you covered the foundation log up to half of its height. You secured this with roofing felt, which is good, but which at the same time has now created a gutter into which water will enter. This water will not have an easy time evaporating off the foundation log and will cause the log to rot and mould quickly.
    If I may make a suggestion, I'd forge the foundation too high so that the foundation log is 100% exposed and can breathe freely.
    Thank you so much for your videos and I wish you all the best for the new year!

    • @Ants_Pants
      @Ants_Pants  10 месяцев назад

      i understand, but the log wall will be completly covered from the outside with siding boards so water will never get there.

    • @prosteprace71
      @prosteprace71 10 месяцев назад

      @@Ants_Pants And that will certainly extend the life of that foundation, although that's not the only water that will collect there and that will have trouble evaporating.
      You will do as you see fit, I strongly recommend you, however, to cat that concrete flush with the bottom of the foundation log. That concrete overlapping the log is not good for anything, and you will have a healthy house for many more years.
      Best regards!

    @alouisschafer7212 7 дней назад +1

    I have to say the way you fully supported the structure of the house and completely lifted the wall up off the foundation a bit was really professional and safe.
    Did you ever work a construction job in your life?
    I work in construction and we would have done it in a very similar way, but we would have used more support posts to distribute the load which would have most likely prevented the slab from cracking.
    Steel screw posts inside the building under the main load bearing joists, fully tie the wall together with wood and have multiple cross support beams in place then slowly and evenly lift the wall up of the foundation around 5mm at first. We tend to be really careful there in new buildings you cant move anything at all even 5mm will crack and damage everything above, old wood houses are more "flexible".
    Then confirm that the wall is holding together, then remove the old foundation completely just like you did.
    Then pour a steel reinforced concrete foundation and tie it into the existing slab and neighbouring foundations and once that is fully cured and hardened let the wall back down onto the foundation. The main difficulty here is to exactly record how much the wall was raised and pour and level the new foundation according to that so once everything is set back down on the new foundation and settles back down the wall is at the exact same level it was before. That holy gap between the wall and new foundation would be calculated with the expected settlement of the new foundation and any installed moisture/isolation barrier between the concrete and the wall.
    That is the goal ofc unless the wall and foundation was already sagged down then we would work to bring everything into the correct level again.
    Most of the times the old wall and foundation is sagged to shit and we just lift the section to the appropriate level and pour the concrete around the wall like you did.
    I think you did a good job and the wall will not be going anywhere for 100 years, you thought of a moisture barrier for the concrete and an isolation layer between the wood and concrete.

    Andris, hope that you had a wonderful Xmas with your family mate and that Santa brought you plenty of great presents. Mate, loved the selfies of supermom, it’s good that she could have a good laugh at herself and thanks for not editing it out. This will be a big project but as always you will get stuck into it with your usual vigour, you sure love mixing concrete. Thanks for all your videos this year Andris, I know I speak for a lot of other viewers, but they do bring a glimpse of life in another part of the world for many of us and you are such a character with a great work ethic and sense of humour, it brings a smile to all our faces. Take care mate, have a lovely New Years with your family and thanks again for making our 2023 such a good one. As always mate, your friend in Australia

    Lots of worthwhile work for the AntMan. Glad you are building something to make Super Moms life a little easier. I think you are lucky to have that SuperMom, take care of her, which I know you do, I am sure she took care of you in your younger days. Another interesting video, thanks for creating interesting and entertaining videos. Happy New Year from Iowa, USA. ....

    Another big interesting project Andris! I wondered about making an offset bucket to allow you to dig under the log wall better from the side, it would save you having to dig such a wide trench?Maybe worth thinking about. Unless it would strain the boom too much, I don't know. Happy days anyway dude for us armchair watchers! Thank you!

    Best wishes Andris. Congrats for the yet another great project!
    Ps if you are looking for yanmar upgrade ideas i suggest a 4 bar mechanism for the thumb to increase its range of motion. I saw it was getting in the way when you were digging. But i don't now shit about excavators😅

    In czechia we put this concrete mix as a plaster on the walls, it aquires a little bit of skill to mix it well and throw it on the wall, when i was 13 i really liked that job.
    But for concrete we used less sand and more fine gravel rock, it will cost less and also wont crack that much.

I hope for 50 thou more subs. As for the world not getting better, well you know it's going to blow up eh? Enjoy your land and projects and the joy you bring to others. Please. Earl

    With the gravel you got there you should tear down the house and open up a gravel pit then you could buy a big house already done and another one for supermom with about 100 acres of lawn and gardens to keep her happy. 😂
    I’ve never seen them put insulation horizontally like you were talking about and I’m in a state in the U.S. where we can get up to 6’ of frost in the ground. Here they put insulation vertically against the concrete, then a thick vapor barrier, then cleaned 1” stone so that the water filters through the stone below the concrete instead of it sitting against the barrier. But the way you explained it then that should work too. Have a happy New Year to you and the family.
