Interresting system. I've used strip ease for 42 years but then we usually build on sloped lots with multi step foundations. Looks like the corners are just screwed together. RDK's?
AwesomeFramers. Does this leave a crack between the levels of form board with the ties laying between them? Also, are the bottom cleats mounted or free floating?
I realized that without form-a-drain at the footers and a french drain pipe system, that water will always be there (whether they can see it or not.) We got a far view of that site, and those houses are in a bowl. I love the videos, but after fencing a river (for a fortune in concrete and steel) I'm very water conscious.
Missing the high drone shots of y'all being "posed" on the jobsite, with more crew it would def be a funnier still shot. Keep Up the Excellent Work fellas ! Love the educational videos.
I’m all for innovation saving time etc have a large shop into a hillside to form 10’ watched all your vids on this method but you seem to be only one not using whalers granted they haven’t blown but could you elaborate on your thinking why they can safely be liminated haw many how big you’ve done etc thanks
With 1 1/8", 11 ply plywood, why do you need them? Great economical system. I've used a lot of form systems, aluminum, steel ply and many different plywood and cam lock, all the Jahn brackets with loose whalers, and even plywood and 2x4 panels a long time ago . But I think this would be my favorite if I was still doing it
I am about to pour some DIY short stem walls on footings, can anyone tell me what to do to filll the tiny gaps between the plywood and the footings where the footing is uneven?
Tim, I found the manufacturer website for those tripods you are using for your scaffold, I sent them an email asking where I can buy them and they are ignoring me. Do you know where I could order a pair?

Where are the ICF walls, so much faster, no stripping, no cleaning forms, no taking away used forms, less waste, its already insulated and air barrier etc , etc
@@billmccance7762 ICF in our all, ALL costs considered is much more expensive. There is more bracing with them, initial material cost is much higher, extra work to hide the above ground concrete, etc. I want to go that route but when we price it, it is much much higher here and rare.
@@AwesomeFramers Maybe you have to factor more things into the total cost. Speed of construction is usually faster, so that costs less HVAC is half sized so that costs less, Insurance is less ( thats an owners cost but something you can sell) Concrete cost is a factor , Mine is $500 per yd here but we are on an island and its ferried here Bracing is minimal wood and only on one side of the form No house wrap no rainscreen Better air barrier Big savings come later in operating, again a customer cost that you can sell Tools are only basic. Saws, drivers Rim joist insulation is not required when you make the floor system inside the ICF wall Often no large beams and crane rental No salt damage near ocean
Been in forming for 35 yrs. Never seen this system . and would quit on day one if i was required to do this.. What a joke. Guaranteed they had blow outs. I'd have that wall done in 3 days. tops. all cleaned up..
Yeah ive never seen this system either. Seems to have worked out well for them though. They showed the finish product, walls came out good, no blowouts. Figured theyd need more whalers, kickers, etc, but they did fine with what they had
Why would it blow out? I have used this system 3 times now. A house, a garage, and now a shop. I’ve had no issues…, what system have you used that is better than this?
at like 20:00 the wind started pushing the forms and I was like noooo but those forms are really good at staying up, I love the vids keep it up
omg hahaha The Offspring is my guy's FAVE band, funny you said that.
Looking great! Nice steady work! Love your version of forms!

As always... Absolutely Awesome 🥳🥳🥳
Looks amazing!!! Have you ever thought of installing your foundation drains before you do your walls?
Great work

So, do all building projects get inspected or are there exceptions? In this my country I see no inspector so I’m just wondering.

In the mud? Ok.
Great videos bro! Keep up the good work. 👷♂
Love my broncos they are very handy!
I’m in Tacoma. Do you guys rent your forms or do you own your forms. Trying to find some where to rent them for my own house build.

I go into it in a lot more detail here ruclips.net/p/PLSab5V2CnIbCCrmm975UlF9VOQWeA2xV-&feature=shared
Might of missed it but, where's Kyle :o
8 Inch wall, what size snap tie was used? You don't use whaler 2 x4 or verticals.

I’m doing 9.5 foot walls now, standing up 4x8 sheets and bracing with PT 2x4, any suggestions for reinforcement/ spacing of kickbacks?
I am about to pour some DIY short stem walls on footings, can anyone tell me what to do to filll the tiny gaps between the plywood and the footings where the footing is uneven?
These walls are 10ft. In a larger more industrial application do you have a video of creating 20-25ft walls or larger?
How does the rain not destroy your tools? I saw the circ saw in the rain. I would think the brushes would rust out?
I have to ask, if u are doing so many foundations, why not get some regular wall forms? So much faster, less laborors, less hardware.
Just wondering
Always rains !! Ahhh never have I ever had a good day for pours
With the slide, you're probably lucky you didn't get a splinter in the bojangles!🤣
How do use snap ties without whailers?
First time i have seen you all sanding on form boards. Normally no debris is around.
What is the retained height for these walls? 20' tall. Thickness?

Do you know where I could order a pair?

You won’t regret it they work in so many scenarios!
@@AwesomeFramers Thanks, I never did see your response until now.
How many days to place forms?

😂😂 We buy the rain gear
My guys would run for the hills if it started to rain that much.
The lined up seams driving me crazy
I had actually thought Noah was your son😂
Btw where's Kyle?
This is the part that usually leads to issues. They sub out the foundation work, Then the framers have to try and make there failures work.
We will have this foundation in 2 days with aluminum forms . That system it’s a joke .. I’ll quick on day one 😂
I must not get out much because I have never seen a 3 legged ladder before
Just a little stitious
I gotta build a single foundation wall that's holding my dirt in my backyard
It`s (I`m coming out) So do you have something you want to tell us?... 🙂
Where's kyle

R-22 is $3.94 USD per sq ft for 6" wall and $4.13 US for 8" So compare that to the blocks you have priced
