Your content gave birth to my construction company,thank you
I've been a builder for many years and have seen quite a fair bit of sheds. The plans in ryan's package ruclips.net/user/postUgkxB7IXYxLzb_Ichhe45zM3Im5xfEiSp9vB have some of the nicest looking sheds i've seen in a while.
the falling on rebar tip reminded me of the guy who used one for a garden stack and fell on it. Impaled under ribs, out neck. Luckiest man alive, it didn't puncture anything. Docs slid it out, the hole clean and then just stitched it shut and sent him home with antibiotics.
Props to the drivers backing up big trucks down the bush. I’ve done it a few times and it’s truly a mental challenge! Even when it can be done it doesn’t take long to become impatient and wish it was over.
Watching these has become a Sunday morning tradition! Keep it up guys :)
Hey this is job number two that I'm watching still waiting for my paycheck on watching the first one for 82 days... You guys do some awesome work..
Realtor, construction worker, youtuber, and now Uber driver, Jason does it all!
Dont forget painter 😂
Those mountains are really beautiful.
I just bought the F-250 with the 7.3L gas engine and i'm loving it! Its just as powerful as the diesel engine and getting same mileage but saving 75 cents a gallon since its gas and no DEF.
The Minivan of problems, smells of gas, Celsius, in spanish, every warning light is on, aaaaaand no keys for the digger. (And thank you for the SkiResort replacement!)
My mom has that same make of mini van its a 2010 caravan in 2017 the stupid reverse gear went out at 56k miles. It has 146k now still drving it without reverse! Just dont park in areas that we cant pull thru!

I confess I prefer the standard format over the live feeds.
I enjoy both.. but if I could only have one I’d choose the edited videos.
Agree
For sure!
The live feeds are hard to fit in my day because of the length. I want to watch the whole thing but cant stay long enough lol.
Absolutely
From one fellow WNC DIY family to another, wonderful job guys and we're looking forward to seeing this retreat come to life with you guys!
Good morning PBB!! Love the new location..Keep up the good work!!
PBB...My wife got mad at me for not watching the video together this morning!! With that said..I thing you got her hooked on PBB RUclips!! Keep up the entertaining work boys!!
this is so great that this continues!
Currently watching this in VR 😁
Your filming skills are going way up~ I prefer this over anything on the DIY channel.
The Irish thing is most definitely true. The Irish built the horshoe curve near Johnstown PA, which is terrain similar to where you are at. It was one of the great construction feats that were made when railroads were going in. Jamie you are a wealth of knowledge my friend.
We typically dig footings on day 1. Day 2 dig ground plumbing/sewer lateral and water service. Day 3 clean footings and start setting forms.
I enjoy your channel, looks like you are enjoying your work. Thanks!
Nice job! Been down there 3 times with the wife, im a carpenter and always check out our cabins thoroughly when we stay, always impressed on how materials get to some of those job sites!
The new EV Ford F150 Lightening would be perfect for this video 😂
Yeah I actually looked into buying a Tesla used after this experience… Still a little much money though :-)
@@PerkinsBuilderBrothers time to put a pre-order in for the EV Ford. For your line of work it does seem like it would be a good option, plus with federal incentives it’s going to cost less then a new gas F150.
@@PerkinsBuilderBrothers The Ford lightning looks better for job sites, it has 120v and 240v sockets. Teslas don't have outlets I think
@@mechanicalsuccess399 Tesla will literally void your battery warranty for using the battery pack as a power source.
I have some photos of the absolute worst rebar impaling. I work in an ER and it is no joke!! Caps!!
Ok. We get it. Life is dangerous. 🙄
nothings worse than the guy who fell out his window and got impaled by rebar through his bootyhole and out his chest.
It happens relatively infrequently from a world perspective, but happens every week from an ER-everything that goes bad comes to me-perspective. I get it, when it happens to you you'll wish it didn't; a universally applicable construct. So I'll determine my risk tolerance thanks.
More so, if you don't like dealing with the aftermath when 'shit happens*', get a different job. Don't expect me not to live my life as I see fit, because the job you chose is gory. Not fair.
* what causes shit happening is for another post; very complex.
You can cut the rebar with a large bolt cutter, I used to lay out precast panels sprayed and stacked with picking eyes. Cut all the rebar from 21 ft stock. Tied up mats on 1 foot centers. They were floor panels on the Sheraton hotel in anchorage AK. I forgot how many stories but it’s plenty. Didn’t use any power.
I wish the builders we work for did this for us on the plumbing, great job
I like your work. But this time I don't know why you did this, the rust will rise up through the rebar buried in soil without concrete around to protect it. The rust will spread through the horizontal rebars and swell up and crack the concrete putting all the foundation in danger.
It's gonna happen regardless, cement is very porous, the rebar will get wet regardless.
Snap.
Fiberglass rebar
6:36 now sky resort😁👌
Boys you are addiction!
After Farmhouse start to finish.
Now this
Sweet! Thanks... check out our first start to finish series if you like both of these! It’s called building a house start to finish
Dude I love you guy's!!! You guys are so entertaining to watch... lol.
There's some weird tax loophole down in Peru where if there is rebar sticking up from your house it means the construction is not finished and you don't have to pay taxes... Every house has rebar sticking out of it. So strange to see.
good moring
These episodes fly by so fast man
Nice drone footage.
Arkansas has a city called "Bald Knob."
Yep, I (Ray) am from Searcy. It’s just outside of Bald Knob.
Yeah, about two hours east of these guys there's a place called my airy It's also known as "the tit".
WE used a plywood template for bars.
Good
The rebar that was welded and pounded into the dirt will eventually rust and since it’s connected to the footing rebar it will follow it all the way through. A plastic chair or concrete doby will give you the separating from the soil.
Good work. Thank you.
40th my boyssd
i work in construction, and am trying to build my own company. I like using this as a study tool for everyone. I honestly love this content. You guys are awesome.
Bro, you just built a whole house. I'm exhausted. How are you ready to jump right back in to another one?
Haha! Well it’s my job so I’m just used to it I guess
@@PerkinsBuilderBrothers Same work, different location.
So NOC is going to be the new ski resort?
I really hope I can get the whole crew out on the river on a raft by the end of the series!
@@PerkinsBuilderBrothers that would be awesome!
I have a request lol can yall get us some video in the fall from that location?
maybe in a couple years these videos will start with "this video is brought to you by the new all electric F-150.
No need for gas, no need for a generator. Would have solved two issues in this video 😂
🤮🙄
I'm very good at driving rebar steaks. Some lads I work with prefer to leave me at as I'll have them all perfectly spaced apart and at the right hight. I'm also Irish so maybe it right 😂
I am pretty good at driving steaks, too. I prefer steaks to stakes, especially when sitting down at the table.😁
Its kinda shocking that rebar isn't required by code. Here we need to get foundations engineered. Usally 4L12TM top and bottom.
I thought welding rebar was not allowed. I think it changes the tensile strength.
@@endicot0195 The weld wasn't structural. The additional leg was just to hold it in place, but the rebar with the bend was the structural element.
@@andrewbrown784 That’s true but my understanding is that the point where the weld is will degrade the ductile properties of the upright rebar. And that piece does have an important structure purpose.
@@endicot0195 You are correct. Welding high tensile reinforcing is a huge no no.
As an irish fella yes I an pretty sure it is the irish known for driving stakes from the rail roads hahahhha
No key in the footing?
Speed Knob peak, tater Knob peak, Quick Set hill, Mt Concrete - all the POI right there!!
Was it me or did Jay look 👀 like ‘that’ guy from “O Brother …”?
Need to have him sing next time to be sure.
I always thought rebar should never touch the earth and be completely surrounded by concrete to prevent rusting. Not a builder but youtube educated DIY'er. :)
Your not worried about having the reinforcement directly on the ground? Rust? Water penetrating
Would the rebar rot from the bottom up since it sticks through the concrete?
Sorry, “noc” isn’t cutting it. Need raft resort !
Jason is a freaking work horse man! He jokes a lot about "not" working, but he's always working and also doing a lot of the hard labor. Hard to find guys with that work ethic anymore.
The Spanish minivan 😂😂
Are there a rust concerns when the J-leg extends from the concrete foundation into the dirt? Would that migrate into the foundation and eventually compromise it?
Also wondering about this, including for rebar grade stakes. Doesn't that create an opportunity for rust to migrate up from under the slab?
I work in commercial concrete and this is a big no-no according to most experts but I have been seeing a lot of differing opinions and literature lately that says it is not as big of a deal as it is made out to be and there won’t be enough oxygen exposure to continue the rust far enough to have structural ramifications.
Yeah......this is always my biggest concern watching these videos. Leaving the rebar in contact with the ground will allow it to corrode--it will probably take a long time if the ground isn't too wet. Corroded rebar can crack a foundation.
Yes they will. this way of reinforcing concrete is wrong and would not pass inspection in my area.
There wouldn’t be enough oxygen for it to be a concern
Good point about the long rebar.
I'm building an extension to a house starting next month, the long wall concrete foundation is nearly 44' long and only 10" thick and no rebar specified by the architect who said it wasn't needed by building regs (code). I think for the cost and my peace of mind, it'll be getting a dose of steel in there!
It wont hurt to install rebar in the foundations..
Just do the rebar a bit better than they did it..
Eric doubling down on his Ziptie idea "I don't know what's wrong with zipties.." haha
Or the wire tie
the Irish were good at digging holes, they dug most of the canals, and the railway lines in the UK during the industrial revolution, also known for fighting with everybody including each other "to be sure to be sure" 😂
why no gas ?
"zip-ties can do anything!"
Great instructional movie. Great job!
One thing though. Is it OK to put the rebar down into the soil? Isn't there a risk that the rust "travels" with the rebar into the slab (which then could crack, since the rust will expand).
There is always risk of rust if there is moisture present… I’m not really sure that the moisture level in the soil just below the concrete footings is any different than the actual concrete footings in this case. Concrete is quite capable of absorbing moisture so I would imagine they are at a similar moisture level. Also these rebar are only at about every 5 to 7 feet throughout the foot in vertically so it’s not a large volume of steel compared to the volume of concrete it would have to disturb actually cause a problem.
Short answer yes it is a bad idea to drive the rebar into the soil because of rust. That's why on most plans and in codes it requires rebar be a minimum of 2" from the edge of your concrete.
rebar should not come in contact with the dirt at all. it will start rusting in days and the rust will follow all the way to the end and also to the other attached rebars as well.
I'm irish and boy can I drive stakes
Those j bars wouldn’t fly in California lol. Good job tho looks good
Same thing i thought the number of holdowns and spot footings is ridiculous overkill here.
No more ski resort? :( i am very sad...
Zip ties and duct tape. You must be from a wealthy country. I am so used to masking tape and a string
I feel bad I binged all 80 farm house videos with out liking them.....Welp I know what I have to do !
Would the frost push up the concrete under the house making it un levelled? heard frost does that fence posts when concrete is poured directly into ground idk
Y’all don’t work in Mountain City, Georgia do you? Great video! Thank you for sharing!
Just a question I have for you guys do you not have your own tank for fuel in one of your cars? Just in case you need it on-site or in emergency situations
Very nicely done and explained. Where is the American flag and the Perkins flag onsite? Good job guys.
That was a 6” slump?? Haha seemed like an 7/8. Also I have never seen anyone put verts in like that. That’s very interesting.
Must be nice to not have to deal with frost lines.....
Jajaaa nice job and really good Spanglish
Juanma from Patagonia Argentina all the Best in these new projects!!!
can you use cinder blocks as a footer if you can't afford to pour a footer
i thought steel in the ground touching the embedded rebar was a no no leading to the rusting out of the rebar in the concrete over time. a long time, but still. No?
Right after 100 meters, when you can, turn back!
I wanna hear you guys karaoke george strait - clear blue sky
is the format for the nantahala retreat gonna be a day to day basis like the farmhouse or something more like the modern mountain getaway?
I thought you said the videos would be longer? Not hating just wanting more!
Thanks!
Why do you use block foundation instead of setting forms and solid concrete? Any advantages/disadvantages of either?
He addressed this in the last video series. The lead times to get those foundation crews is too long, and they like to keep on schedule.
hello gas pump
As a professional structural engineer, it is not allowed to weld within 2" or 2*bar diameter of the bend point on a rebar. Welding near the bend will lead to the rebar being brittle.
So I am with Eric on zip ties or move the weld lol.
Good comment… Everything is just tacked with one zap… Nothing heated hot enough to get brittle. The foot just needs to stay on there long enough to pour the concrete in ;)
I discovered you boys on the Farmhouse... stumbled across it on video #1 and stuck through to the end. Even after a lifetime of driving nails, I learned a lot from you guys, thanks!! Looking forward to another great build... I'll be with you to the end.
Hey thanks Carl! Looking forward to getting this one framed up
Why wasn’t the ground blind? Is the blind thing only a Caribbean thing?
13:32 another good way to add a crack to your footing
I really worry about those footing rebars rusting away.
They're up off the dirt, encased in the footings. They won't rust.
@@Lugnut64052 the piece of bar welded to the j-bar that was hammered to the ground and also touching the footing reinf., i think that will rust in maybe few years.
@@necrosapien346 correct.
Won’t rebar going from dirt into concrete cause spalling as the bar rusts from the ground into concrete?
I would never pass inspection doing that in Australia
Since you hammered the jay bars straight into the ground underneath the foundation, isn’t it at risk of getting wet, therefore corroding - thereby spreading the corosion onto the rest of the rebars? I’m confused😭can someone clear that up for me
When you can
How wide are footers normally? We are building a 1056 sq foot, so considering 18” wide.
I'm here!
Y’all seen rays new truck? Step up from a lil suv
One my favorite channels, keep up the great work, wish you were up in New Hampshire.
No drainage beneath the footings? Is that wise??
So you can't tie rebar and lift the rebar more?
We wait till time to set dowels to drive grade stakes. Then just tie your dowel to the grade stake. Can’t loose it as your pouring and killed 2 birds with one stone.
your engine light is on lol, but i love you videos so much! also 100% respect for how hard you all work!!
also Jason has me saying "you know what they say, thats one way to do it" i dont know why but i keep saying it 🤣
also i swear i heard Jason say "its too long daddy" that had me dying over here
time to get that new f150 that has the on board power in the bed. That would definitely help with the no power problem
Yeah, and that one over there is Tamater knob! 😂😂😂😂😂
👍👍👍👍
