It is amazing the speed to which you start moving when no one else is there. You get to be in your own world and do it your way. Great progress Geoff!!!😊
Your channel has become more and more interesting. You have a inviting personality, super mellow, nice. Thanks for sharing your project with all of us.
Thank you so much!☺️
"Got a check?", "You better get to that paying job" Hilarious! It's always nice to get time to ourselves to think things through with no distractions and re-charge.
🇮🇪🇺🇸☘️ if I could melt into the walls yeah … it’s why 4am sound of silence driving for a living is heaven… the Ancients heard you Geoff, knew you needed this space to shed all your “overwhelming energy load” go sit amongst the Ents🌳They will heal you blessings 🙏🏼🌹
Idea: have a family movie night in the theater. Project a movie onto the wall and have chairs, blankets, popcorn... Great way to celebrate the progress.
I like that idea. I have a portable projector too. Thanks
WOW! The progress you've made is wonderful! Praying that God will guide you and provide you with the energy you need to stay on top of this project, stay healthy!
I watch a lot of different RUclips channels and you have the best time lapse music of anyone.
Ty
You are a one man army Geoff. Nice progress on the theatre room.
Ty
Sure seems like you get more accomplished on your own ...
Bealy Good job from a one man build crew ! 👍 Thanks
This episode is a new favorite for me. Loved how you got after it and enjoyed your "alone time". Loved seeing you getting so much accomplished This build is amazing !!
Yay, thank you!
I enjoy your videos. Can't wait to see it all come together. It's fun to see you and Chris bust each other, good fun . Best of luck to all of you ,and of course Dog Dog 😊
Thanks 👍
Mr Bealy Good - Sir…. sometimes it’s just nice to be by yourself and work at your pace doing the things you want to do
Chris Guins is going to be on the Bealy Good Retirement Plan. 👍👍
I hear the introvert comment and think that we all have a level of both introvert and extrovert. Even for those who have a majority of extrovert personality, we need some time to allow our brains to sort through the volume of activities already done and also to open up the ability to be creative. For me that time comes when I am in the seat of a piece of machinery and performing routine actions (therapeutic).
The outro was 🔥
Like my watch has a "Body Battery" I think that people have a "Social Battery". Some people charge that battery with solitude, to cope with company. We call those people "introverts". Some people charge that battery with company to cope with solitude. We call those "extroverts". Personally, I find being "sociable" exhausting. Maybe most people are somewhere in between the two extremes.
We came by it naturally, brother. Dad never met a stranger and Mom is the introvert. I think of us as “outgoing introverts”. We like to talk and hang out but everyone needs to leave us alone from time to time!😊
True dat. ❤️❤️
Giant Lego puzzle. Looks awesome!
Understand the introvert feeling - am one myself (daughter said I was a bit of a hermit :)). Progress is really great given the weather challenges. Theatre coming along fine. Chris building his cabin I'd say.
Who’s Chris
U might think about getting all those forms tied down.just drive in some good tent stakes. Cheap dollar store rope and it could save a lot of trouble if we get some wind
That would be me also!!!

I really respect you for working independently from your crew. I would curl up in a recliner and watch RUclips or sleep all day!!
I live in Canada and I built my daughter's house in ICF about 3 years ago and I thoroughly enjoyed the process . This is the ultimate way to build a high performance house and If I had to rebuild my own house I would definitely build with ICF. Your house will withstand powerful storms and be very energy efficient for the life of this house. Good work and best of luck to you.
looking great thank u for show us the way to do it i keep hearing Pink Floyd The Wall playing in the back ground
16:07 Friendly reminder that orange mushroom caps are not for fall protection. They just break under the weight of a person. They're more intended for horizonal rebar that you might back into.
Outstanding. The timelapse helped me understand the ICF system better than all other videos combined. Thank you.
I'm still waiting on the video of you saying Chris talked you in to buying a excavator and you get a 220 just like his! Lol love the house series videos!
This is absolutely awesome I'm really enjoying watching this all come together. Stay safe 🍻
Glad you enjoy it!
Really Cool man, liking it more and more all the time !! Really like those adjustable kickers. Great Video Geoff !! Have a great Day !!
Thanks 👍
Great video Geoff, keep chilled and enjoy the journey😀
Thanks 👍
coming along nicely 👍look forward to the next update
Thanks 👍
looking good, Your making Steve proud keeping that common seam in the right place.(LOL) Hope to be by next week and spend a day or two with you so we can get some more block stacked up. I might even have some new Nudura swag.
Sounds great!
Bealy you're getting to be a pro. Excellent job. I love those captions that you add to your videos. Maybe the weather will start co-operating. God Bless my friend.
Glad you like them!
Man that's a big house
this channel is Bealy Good to me...... Bealy Good content..... Bealy Bealy Bealy Good to watch for enjoyment and learning!...here is Bealy Good comment for algorithm!
Glad you enjoy it!
Morning Geoff, looking awesome 😎
All the ICF builds I've seen here in Indiana ( not a lot by the way, maybe 6) have been basically 4 walls. Can really start seeing how complicit your build is. 😮 Thank you for sharing!
Man I’m so excited to see pour day. It’s so great seeing it coming together.
Morning and You control the ready stand Walls from the ICF Blocks. Then Work You alone farther of the Building, and to Stabilize. To last come Chris!
Gladden my of the the continue. Greeting from Austria. 👌👍💪
Getting enough ICF done to see more of your vision to build a castle with pool. Looking forward to seeing more videos.
When you walked through that site, I realized this is going to be a very large house !
I loved the chain gang comment. It’s taking shape Geoff, looking Bealy good
You Got a Check LOL🤣
I’ve been watching Chris since before he started working for you. I’m very impressed with your new home. I make handmade lace and would be honored to make some lace curtains for a window in your home and/or table runners, dresser scarves, antimacassars, doilies, whatever as gifts for you and Mrs. Bealygood as a thank you for all the fun and joy you have brought me. I would need measurements for some items and your patience since handmade things take a little time. Please let me know.
Awesome! Thank you!
Good! So send me info on what you would like and measurements, if needed, when you’re ready. And give Dog Dog an ear scratch and a tongue lashing to that Duck Mafia.
Y'all two just won't do! LOL! Anyway, slow but steady progress always wins out over "throwing things up overnight',especially using this type of construction. So much that needs to be right to start, truly makes the finished product better and a great foundation to continue other types of construction.
Lookin good!
Nice job, keep up the great work, great video
Thanks
I know some are going the route of pouring the floor first. Row or 2 of block & floor poured at the same time. Easier to reach in and do the floor, then you have a nice level, dry surface to work from going up.
Yeah. I thought about doing that, but ultimately chose not to because I have steel columns and beams that have to go in and the beams reach over to the walls. But the floor concrete is supposed to be poured over top of the steel. I could have poured the concrete just over and around the columns later, but didn’t want to plus there’s a lot of crap that goes in the floor.
Take my hat off to you Geoff, your build looks amazing, think I would have run away by now. 👍👍
Looking great Mr Bee Gee. It’s really starting to come together 💪!
Geoff it’s going to look a lot different once concrete is poured! Looks great! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Good job Mr. Bealy!
Looking good.
It's taking shape, Geoff. Looking forward to the next steps.
Hi Geoff
Giving nice explanations of the process, keep it up.
It is nice to have "quiet time" on the job to clear your head out some.
Absolutely no offense meant on the following, just concern for you.
Please do yourself & all workers on your job a huge favor & purchase a bunch of 2x10 minimum size southern yellow pine or douglas fir for planking & set them double wide.
A single 2x8 spf is not adequate to be walking on!
Screw 2x6 blocking solidly onto the walls in line with the braces to support the ends of the walk planks. (Screw the planks to these) Then planks can be lapped over each other. Never leave the end of a plank unsupported.
I cringed when I watched you walking on the 2x8's when pouring the 1st load of conc "fill".
Accidents happen way to fast for an experienced worker yet alone for a crew just learning.
Your health & safety is way to valuable & have an accident on your home when you have so much to do yet. Let alone being able to enjoy it with your family when your done.
Coming from a guy that's been in the trades for over 50 years.
thanks for showing in detail 👍👍👍👍👍
looks very nice
Cool
Good stuff Mr Geoff
Making great progress, well done. 😊
I'm totally impressed! !!
Always enjoyable Geoff. Coming along nicely. Thanks for sharing. 🇬🇧👍👍👍
Nice,getting there.continue doing what you do best.👍👍👍😎😎😎
Morning Geoff, it's coming along nicely!
It’s really starting to come together , Looking great .
Thanks...really enjoy your videos...especially Dog-Dog!
Looks Good! Rebar all the way! A+
really enjoy watching the progress you are making, plus the explanation of what you are doing,
Thanks 👍
All the best Bealy it’s looking good, regards Andy from Australia
Thanks Geoff 👌👏👏👏👏👏you sure get some work done Timelapse 😂😂
I always suspect DogDog was introvert but never suspected you. 😇
Man what a good block laying crew would have done with this job!! (the key words here are "would have done")
Looking good and like yourself can progress quicker 'solo' than in a crowd when I was a Maintenance Manager in the Hotel Industry.
Can't wait to see your cinima set up, I'm 72 so not replacing mine anytime soon, but I do have a graveyard of multimedia players, Betamax, Philips Lazervision, Minidisc, MP3 and 3D BluRay and 55" 3D TV, 7.1 Surround 16 speaker cinema system. (Still in use but Damsung stopped updates 7 years ago so is now 'dumb'). 👍🤗🇬🇧
I am also a introvert and bipolar with dynamic, and working by myself was essentially greater, working 100 hour weeks for 42 years, still prefer being alone with my cat nowadays retirement, watching you and Chris, plus hundreds of RUclips, 😊😊😊no Dog dog helhping, 😊😊😊.
👍👍👍
Great update on what is going on bro, I take it Chris has blead you dry of funds so has to take on other work to put food in his mouth bro. Safe travels. Ken.
👍
Geoff,can you explain the purpose of the "common" in-line joint in the walls? Have seen it in other builds but have not heard an explanation on why it is done
I’ll make it a point to discuss in an upcoming video. But the basic reason is when you lay out the blocks, not every wall will be evenly divided by your block. So you have to cut pieces to fill in. Then you have to put a strap across where the two ends meet. It’s easier to stack those common seams on top of each other so you can work faster by knowing that’s where you have to cut a block and strap in one spot.
I like that explanation, but for my interpretation of the need to place all your cut joint seams in a common stack, I would add that it helps a builder to prevent having a "stray" cut joint seam that could get overlooked in the strapping phase of the course stacking. And........along that same line of thought (about planning to keep all your cut seam commons in one spot) you reduce the likelihood on ending up with more than a single cut joint seam in the same course.@@BealyGood
At first I thought I was watching This Old House with only better theme music.
Moving right along. I kinda liked it when there aren't so many people also. You are able to describe the build in more detail. Great brace/scaffold system. When is the next concrete pour? Have a great week.
Shooting for the end of the month. Thanks 😊
[1:05] "Check" out that grass that looks like it's due a cut already :-)
Checks in the mail 😅😅😅
A suggestion Geoff, paint the story pole a very bright color on all sides so someone does not pick it up and use it for a brace. You have a number of people on sight and it could happen.
Great idea
I have so many questions!!! Not being a "builder" ...
Are the foam boards re usable?
Advantages vs just using plywood forms?
Cost vs Plywood?
insulating factors?
Any penetrations thru concrete now requires drilling?
Im assuming the foam boards, once the concrete is poured and set, come down?
Structurally, quite stronger the stick and wood framing...
Once the forms are done, does construction go as normal, stick and board? I cant imagine the entire mansion being all concrete walls( interior)?
Cost vs regular stick frame?
Sorry Geoff, just curious minds, wanna know! HAHAHA
The foam stays in place. Lots of good questions. I’m planning to do a live and discuss. Thanks 😊
#bealygood Just one question. The joints near the corners, is there a reason that they aren't staggered? Just seem odd to me that the seam lines up from top to bottom and the two sections are joined with boards. I would think that they should be staggered. I truly enjoy watching the progress and look forward to every episode. Thank you for bringing it to us!
Lots of questions about that. I’m going to have to make a video on it. Stay tuned.
pretty interesting. What is the deal with the crack near the corner? What do you do with it, fill it somehow? Never seen this type of build before. I'm used to stick building.
It’s called a common seam. I will go over it in more detail in a few videos from now.
I wish Google would update its satellite imagery over your area. Over my area, they've updated three times in the past 6 years.
Hello Mr. B. 👍
On my Google earth on my phone, go to the top right, it looks like a pile of papers but it is called “Layers”. Run a Timelapse on the area. Not real clear, but ends up with the big pond being dug.
Geoff, now you will need a *dumpster* to put all that scrap from the retaining walls, so it doesn't blow around and into your 5 acre pond!
I have a dumpster but there’s actually not a lot of waste. I think I show that in this Sunday’s video 😁
Hi Geoff! Totally enjoying your videos! Wish I lived close so I could come and volunteer for your project! Have you added up the cost of the styrofoam form’s complete including supports and miscellaneous parts to be ready for concrete?
I keep sending the receipts and invoices to my Office manager. We’ll sit down and go through all of it at some point. I plan to do a video about costs to get here.
Jeff why are the ICF panel joints not staggered near the corners of your theatre room?????
I’m going to make a video about that. Will probably be next Tuesday
In commercial construction I have never seen anyone prepare concrete forms for any type of penetrations They always pour the concrete, let it cure, then cut the necessary holes. It is found to be easier and simpler.
That’s interesting. I did many commercial buildings over a period of 25 years and the architect always requested we specify our conduit requirements. If they had to drill the concrete we got lots of crap for that. 😊
@@BealyGood --- I checked with an old friend in NYC, He said for conduits in structural members they are careful about embedded conduits and the openings (not your case) For poured walls he said no one blocks out for the penetrations, they have holes drilled afterwards - the trades are always off by a little, so it's easier to drill once than block before pour, fill the hole, then have to drill again. My friend's clients are large commercial projects in metro NYC, his firm does the project management, he has several hundred PEs working for him so I don't know how current his information is, I wonder if he still gets out into the field to observe that level of detail anymore.
Nice video Mr Bealy Good. How are you going to get the rebar in the forms?
The horizontal rebar was put in as I built it. The vertical will be dropped in from above
@@BealyGood ok that's good, I didn't see you putting any rebar in, thanks.
What keeps concrete on at side seams? I see where they interlock top and bottom but what about where ends meet. Almost seems I saw gaps. Lol
You did. I’m going to talk about it in an upcoming video because so many people noticed it 😁
Where will the screen will go? And where you gonna place seats and how many? :)
Screen will be on the wall across from the door. Prob just a couple of rows of seats.
I have a question: Is there any way of preventing the vertical brace against the wall from moving when the concrete is poured in? Having done concrete form work in a previous life, I'm aware of the tremendous pressure load at the bottom of form work.
There is a spot at the bottom that allows you to tapcon the brace to the footing, if you so desire.
curious, wouldnt you want to offset the seams? seems to me that would make them lock better and be stronger.
There’s a reason for the common seams. I’m going to talk about it in a video. Will either add it into Sundays or it will be Tuesday’s.
@@BealyGoodcool thanks, will be watching
Making good progress.
Do you have to buy the braces, or rent and return after the pour?
I purchased
WHEW
Why do you have 2 full height butt joints? Why are they not overlapping like the rest of the walls?
I’m going to have to make a video about that. Lots of people noticed it. 😁
Hi Geoff. All those supports ect do you buy those then throw away from after or are they a type of on rent type of deal. Just curious as buying them would seem a bit of a waste if they can be reused. Cheers Andy. Perth Australia
You can purchase or rent the bracing. I purchased and will rent out after the walls are complete. The wood for the scaffolding is used elsewhere.
@@BealyGood i thought it must be like that. Well at least by buying you will certainly get your money back. Its coming along Great. Its great to see you show us all the build as it moves along. Take care. Regards
Been looking at ICF online. From what I'm seeing, they don't seem to be used on commercial or industrial. Is that the case or am I looking in the wrong places? I was wondering about using it for a large shop.
They’re being used a lot in commercial. Many schools are now being built using them. Also, apartment buildings. Would be easy to construct a shop with them.
Can a DIYer lease/ rent the plumb wall bracing from the ICF manufacturer or does it have to be purchased?
You can rent it from various sources. I plan to rent mine out when I’m done.
Looking at all those braces, do you hire them or do you have to buy them. They look to me to be very expensive. But nevertheless, you are getting on like a steam train now and I am looking forward to the concrete pour. Greetings from Australia
You can rent them or purchase. We chose to purchase as we plan to build more and/or rent them out.
There is a spot where the seams aren't staggered, isn't that going to be a problem for a weak spot?
That is a common seam. There’s a reason for that. A lot of people have asked about it so I will get into more detail in an upcoming video. Will probably be a couple or three from now, as I have some already scheduled.
I’m building a 32x76 basement and have been wondering about ICFs
What do they charge for the braces and plywood inside (1 sided forms). I assume there’s a rental fee associated with that?
Doing a basement you wouldn’t really want to do the one sided forms. You would do the regular foam on both sides. Because you can screw the sheet rock right to it. Unless you want the look of concrete on the inside.
The braces can be rented. It depends on where you’re at and how long you’re going to have them. Some places are $20 per brace per week. I’m looking at renting mine after I’m done and will probably do a better deal than that.
