Starting CONSTRUCTION on Utility Building | Part 1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2023
- We are finally there! We are starting construction on the Utility Building! We build a footing, epoxy rebar into bedrock, pour the footing, and pour a Sonotube to create our first concrete pier that will support the car-port side of the utility building.

You guys have already done a ton of work to that property. It’s looking good. Looking forward to watch your build series.
The details, the precision...you are doing very well. The sono tube jig was a super idea. Im not sure I'd have the patience you two have .
Something tells me this utility building will turn out beautifully. You work like a craftsman and a craftswoman, and I would trust you to build me a house from the ground up! Looking forward to seeing the progress on this project.
Everything looks great, but you really need to wear a mask when working with the dry concrete. That concrete dust is really bad for you.
Great start, Beware of concrete poisoning over time. The dust especially but contact with wet cement also build up reactions by your body over time. You can dump the bags into a plastic tub and shovel or better yet, buy bulk sand, gravel and cement - you will save lots of material. Some folks put wheels on the mixer so they can dump into the forms - you can make a chute to keep the mess down - saves one more move of product.
Nice work that'll leave to superb footing. Everything level and well anchored will lead to fast build. Great video.
? Could've done the tube the same time as you pored the base? I would think it would of better? All concrete together?
Been doing the same thing in New Hampshire. Amateur building a house. Looks good.
Loading the mixer with dry powdery stuff you may want to wear a mask
I loved the way you managed the concrete base. And a question, wasn’t there any other way than concrete, I mean a sustainable material, rocks and kind of a soil probably? Either ways you are doing a great job. All the loving ❤
Wow. In the time it took you to do one pier, with such precision, you could have expedited all of them and shimmed any differences after the concrete set. Just my perspective. Also, the vapor barrier between footing and pier could probably set up corrosive electrolysis which would destroy the rebar, resulting in an unstable base. In this case, it won't matter, but something to consider in the future.
Are you going to build an outhouse later on???
Why so precise with the anchor bolt? Leaving extra can be ground off after the plate is installed. This allows for any miscalculation.
CONSTRUCTIVE ( HELPFUL ) Advice about ( DIRECTIONS ) People tend to NOT understand the Common Methods used. This Example should help. When a MIX calls for a gallon. It should be added in slow ( SMALL ) amounts . Put some water in the mixer first. Say Half. Then add in the dry bags as you go along. Mixing times will greatly effect the finished product. Just like heat, Temps, Altitude, and more. ACCORDING to what YOUR Clip here shows. A Dry MIX is More along the lines of what took place. BED ROAK is NOT the same as Virgin ( MOSITURE ) Rich soils Process. Clue for you BOTH. GO SLOW. Pre wet ( ADD ) water to all the Rock surfaces first. If two bags is TWO MUCH cut it down to one. Better to have a Slight FLOW ( OR ) SLUMP when deal with Rock Hard areas . Then to Pour it Mostly DRY and FIGHT the OUTCOME each step of the way. ( I have over 5 plus decades of construction applications and growing. From Industrial/ Commercial ( Residential ) and D. I. Y. First time advice being offered. The Bag Details are under controlled settings only. YOU need to adjust and adapt to each hole being dealt with. Listen to me now ( AVOID ) heartache and additional expenses later. BY the way. Re-Bar in the vertical sense SHOULD not be Cris crossed. Who Ever told you that was NOT understanding the Reason for it to be there. YOU want equal support ( Top to bottom ) This Act create ( OPPOSITE effects) and can sauce Pre - mature Failure due to lack of internal Forces working against you . Last butt not least. Check ( Double Check ) Check it all over again. The Foundation means every thing else ifs Corrected or Deflected from what was not DONE Before hand along the way.
