You are AMAZING! For one Man doing all this by yourself. Your Wife is so proud I'm sure! This video has no camera falling, just YOU! Rest up, one more big day like that and the walls will be full! You must be feeling pretty good at your progress this week!? Have a great weekend. 👍😁🇺🇸🦃🦃🦃🦌🦌
Haha yep, just me falling this week! Wish I would have at least got a full shot of it, it must have been pretty funnny looking! Took the bucket of concrete with me on the way down! 😂I am happy with progress, really looking forward to getting off concrete work! Haha but soon enough! Thanks for the comment, I’ll rest up and see you next week! Have a great weekend!
Well, time for weekly comments...I was wondering why you didn't want to grow bodybuilder muscles while lifting all tbose buckets, but with the re-appearance of the designer sweatshirt, I realized it wouldn't fit anymore. 😂 Ya know, maybe you should immortalize it by stuffing a few shreds in the last of the basement wall. Lol. Seriously, your ingenuity is 100% even if your balance is not...😊😊
😂😂nice little tumble at the end of the week! Should have seen the result! Glad it was just off camera! Haha 😂 and I always enjoy your weekly analysis, keep it coming! You might be right, Might have to tribute the sweatshirt!
Resourcefulness is a great trait to have. Enjoyed this weeks show. The inspectors kept their distance so hopefully they preapproved. Looking forward to the next chapter. Your friend from Virginia.
I used to work construction over 35 years ago building houses out of concrete. I am extremely impressed in how you have accomplished all this by hand!!! Keep it up. Looking forward to the completion of your new cabin!!!
Tha concrete trough was a great idea and time saver! Also, check the manufacturer's cure time prior to applying waterproofing material, then waterproof and then add that cure time to then filling in dirt for a new working level for you. Are you going to add a plastic barrier also? God bless you and your family and take care from your California subscriber 🙏 🙌
Thank you! Yes, waterproofing hopefully this week, then foam board insulation over that, and a drain on the footer, then backfill! Can wait! Thanks for the comment! Have a great week!
You are doing a fantastic job. I do like having cinderblocks surrounding your lower floor. It will last a long time. It is sturdy and strong and the way to do it. Stay safe. That last move.
Brilliant solution to core filling the block. I was wondering how you would accomplish that. Nicely done on the block laying for never have done it before. Can't wait to see the house going up again. I assume you know not to back fill until you have the joists and deck in place. Sorry, the dad in me is coming out!!
Geweldig veel en goed werk verricht en dat allemaal alleen, echt top Nu verder met de opbouw, succes met de verdere voorruitgang ik kijk er naar uit hoe je verder gaat Groeten uit Nederland 🇳🇱
In my area bags of concrete come on yellow pallets. I think the company is Sakrite. They are worth $25.00. The home center charges a additional $25 when you buy a pallet. When you take it back you get your money. Last time I bought a pallet I wasn't charged for a pallet. I did take it back and get my $25. I spend alot of $ there and didn't feel guilty
Hey McGiyver ,I like the inventions!! Alot of progress!! Fun watch!! So,when you get ready to put in in pipes for septic will you have to tunnel under the wall?best of luck!!
Very much appreciated! Thank you! I’ve buried a 8 inch pipe sleeve under the footing prior to the pour, so I should be able to dig that up when the time comes and run the septic pipe right through, just have to remember where I put it! Haha 12 feet from the front… I hope 😀
invite the inspector for Thanksgiving ..... just don't tell them they are the main course .... and i can't see the deer on the other one .... too hard to see
I might have to, they are around the build soo much! Yea, the deer was a tough see with the shadows, they are around pretty often too, I’ll get a better shot this week
Wow, been watching many solo home construction vids over the last 6-7 years. That is the longest sustained hard work effort I've seen yet.
Well that comment is very humbling! 🙏 thank you! Very much appreciated!!
I agree. Seems like some people work twice as long and don’t get half as much done. This dudes a unit
You made some excellent progress this week! You gotta feel really good about that. I love your make shift cement chute...super clever!!!
Thank you! I do feel good now, The end of concrete is very near!!
Brilliant content as always!!
Adapt and overcome.

Very much appreciated! Thank you!
Et Salut !
Tu as fait du bon boulot et ça semble solide, bonne continuation pour la suite. 👍🫶
Very much appreciated! Thank you!!
For a guy that doesn't know what he's doing, your doing a heck of a good job!🥸
😂 thanks Glenn! Very much appreciated!
Spectacular Ross! You do realize that you accomplish more than the average guy can even imagine doing right? Nice job fella
Thank you Russ, very much appreciated! I like seeing progress and for the most part enjoy the work, so I can’t complain!!
Looking good, need to send you some of our weather🇦🇺
Thank you! I couldn’t have asked for better weather while doing my foundation work, that is for sure! Rainy down there?
Looks great. Got a text today with a picture of snow, school called off. I’m sending one back of the Palm trees and beach. Glad I’m not there.
Thank you! Yes winter is a bit late around here, but I’m sure it’s coming!
Wild Turkey is SO good!!!!
😂🦃!!!!
Best of luck! All the way from South Africa 🇿🇦
Very much appreciated!!
Nice work, it looks good! You really should have a mask on when opening your cement bags.
Thank you! 🙏 i know, I try to have it on most of the time with the bags, but do forget every now and then, I’ll be better!

A win indeed , the company that sells the concrete mixer should use your video as a sales promotion!
Thank you! Yes, that would be sweet

😆.. thank you! Very much appreciated!! I’m also looking forward to something other than concrete! So close!
Nice work! Protect yourself from dust and debris with our comfortable, reliable masks.😷💪
Thank you! The mask are extremely comfortable!
I used to work construction over 35 years ago building houses out of concrete. I am extremely impressed in how you have accomplished all this by hand!!! Keep it up. Looking forward to the completion of your new cabin!!!
35 years, That’s some experience! I appreciate the compliment, I’m happy to be about 8 hours from being done with concrete for awhile!!!
Great vid again 👍 💪
Thank you again! Won’t get sick of seeing your comments anytime soon! Thank you!

Love the cement rig so much easier for you, nearly done 😊. Love watching your videos from Whyalla South Australia.❤😊
Very much appreciated!! Thank you!

Ha, do you know how much money your saving! nice. Pulse it's like going to the gym every day for a great workout.
No doubt both are true! Thanks Steven!!

I think I ordered enough that they didn’t charge me which is nice, but I’m approaching 30 pallets now which is a crazy amount!! 😀

You'll be moving logs before you know it. Oh yeah, waterproofing and insulation and back filling. Soon you'll be moving logs.
Haha you’re right! But closer than ever!😂I will make no prediction on when I move the first log! Haha but hopefully really soon
I call "safe" at home plate at the very end!!!!
😂😂😂 Yes!
Is the vibrator your invention?
I can’t take credit, saw a smaller version online.
I hope Kawasaki is paying you for great commercial for their UTV ?
