Thanks Elrond. After filming and podcasting about so many projects, it feels slightly surreal to be making these!

The pump operator should not be using a double ended hose.

[@liziwetshaka5153]

You dropped a coin and didn't pick it up? Must be nice.

[@Houseplanninghelp]

You're not the first person to tell me this! I probably did pick it up, just not while I was filming. ^Ben

[@eugene3250]

why there is no rebars in the fundstion?

[@LeafOfAutumn05]

Haven't seen any Reinforcement being used?

[@Houseplanninghelp]

I don't think reinforcement was necessary. It's just a simple trench fill. ^Ben

[@LeafOfAutumn05]
