Hi Justin, I hope your there to work on the inside of the house when Cole is ready. Your work with Roman is perfection. we're so glad to see your back. If not permentally.
I get you're saving a ton of money on labor, and you're learning valuable skills, but jeez, this is gonna take forever to complete in this weather. I do admire your enthusiasm and stick-to-it-ness. Best of luck.
He's paying labourer rates out of his own pocket, instead of charging the farm company. Justin gets the most, then Roman. Coles doesn't draw a wage (sorta).
It’s put him over a year behind but the more important part is he’s milking content. You can watch the first 2 mins and the last two mins and not miss a thing! I dropped a few other channels for the same habit. This one is next up on the chopping block.
It shows that with the most experienced people and a willingness of the diy'er to learn more, it can be done by a few. The farm helpers and men in his family make this easier for him. Plus all the farm tools and equipment as his disposal. His channel guides farmers in farming and house reno, both.
Juston! Welcome Back! Cole, so glad you have a crew of people helping. So exciting to see so much progress! Prayers for no accidents, delays, and over-the-top nasty weather! B~}
You need a portable Light plant with tower floodlights for working in mourning and Evening hours. Much better than stand floodlights and extension cords. 19:07
Hole in wall needs to be closed so basement floor can be finished to allow heat to be installed in house. Hole can’t be closed till theater walls done so floor can be poured.
Getting started is always the hardest part. Now you've got moving you'll find time just flies by and you'll be ready to pour concrete before you know it. Are you building your tent frame before the concrete pour or after??
😊 Working in cold weather useta be easy for me but nowadays I cannot handle 18° and do anything except look for some heat. You're movie theater is going to be great when you're finished. Looking forward to seeing the progress in the next episode.
Cole , may I suggest you put up a temporary plastic sheet over the hole going into the basement. This will allow you to run a heater of some type inside the house to give y’all a place to warm up .
I hope Devin and his team show up as a surprise for you!! Either way it's gonna get done. Good job! I was worried but now that you got some training I have no doubt you guys can do this!
If they were experienced with wire tie work then it would have been a little easier but with a few guys and that wire gun, it wasnt a huge time consuming deal the way they did it. The wires are also tighter now since newbies didnt tie them up by hand.
@@warrenmichael918they aren't building a river level forces viaduct. They are building static stationary straight basement walls that will hold a couple levels of wood formed home above. Anyone else think all the rebar to the extent they have taken it to is just plain wasteful with no rational point? I thinks it's overkill level 💯
Working in cold temptures on the basement theater. Roman thinking he needs a raise for this job. Work has to keep going before it to cold outside but a section of the house with new heater life saver.
Thank you for the entertainment Cole. You and the rest of the cast do a great job. I never knew before I retired that I would enjoy watching other people work.
8th of December let the festive season begin! What a gift to have ALL these helpers! So happy for you to get to this point! Now I am excited for the first movie night !
That doesnt matter as long as they all get loaded and returned. The form company cleans and restacks them according to the next job plans. They are not a one size fit all type of packaged form.
Cole your doing fine. A few more guy's would be nice tho. Don't let the nay sayers worry you. Been there done that 😊. Many of them have never done any kind of work like this.😅
@ no but I think I remember the guy they were working with in Wyoming said something about only bolting one side of the forms to the concrete foundation as a way the control which side would absolutely stay on the marked line as one side would rip out. The forms would then rely on some other form of support. Maybe I missed something. But if I am not then I would be weary of using the wood. Idk just armchair quarterbacking here
I remember when I used to tie rebar for one summer by hand. You know, you get really fast at that so sometimes it might be easier to do something without the specific tool 😉
yep, if they were experienced it might have saved a little time but since they are all new to this, i think that was the fastest solution. It will also ensure that the ties are all tight and not done too loose by them not doing it right by hand.
Any predictions on when the wall will be finished pouring. My guess...3 weeks. It definitely shouldn't take that long, but I've been watching this project from its beginning. I've paid attention.
This is a free education watching someone make strides and mistakes so you can avoid do well on your own house reno. In decades past in the trades you had to pay for this education.
If you fall off a form, staging, or a bank on to those vertical rebar pieces you will be a shish-ka-bob. Each rebar should have a cap on it I believe those things you said you had no idea what they were.
Framer here never poured a foundation but worked on hundreds of them never seen 2x4's put down first I've always seen them attached straight to the footing who showed you that trick? I'd make sure that's not a mistake before you proceed to stacking walls on them Keep up the great work the content is very good
Agreed ... pressure of concrete at the base of that 14 foot wall likely won't be resisted/held by the 2X4's. The base of the forms should be screwed right into the concrete as they are designed to hold the load when attached to the concrete. Even if a large number of screws are put into the 2X4's and into the concrete the base of the forms could still tear-out/split the 2X4's when pouring, Might not even work if the forms are screwed right through the 2X4's and through into the concrete. Would agree to definitely confirm that is okay to do, or pour day could be a disaster. Remember the inside section of wall where the particle board started moving ... that was only a five foot wall. The pressure at the base of the 14 foot walls will be incredible.
Who is working on the inside of the main house... you could be done with that... inside; out of the cold then finish up the outside this coming spring .
Nobody is working on the inside because a big part of it isnt even built yet. The basement needs finished BEFORE they can build the addition on top of it and get it all tied in to the main part of the house.
I hope you added the 1 and a half inches to the lower rebar on your lower rebar run. Remember you were 3" from the bottom when learning in Colorado. But you're gonna be 5" up this time to make sure you have room for the bracing between the forms. Also, the outside walls aren't fastened down, so they should be moved out just a bit to make sure the forms don't slide off the 2x4. You might wanna be using 2x6 instead. Good luck, Cole, and keep warm coffee flowing for everyone.
Make a couple of jigs that fit the correct space between the rebar and place it between them as you tie left to right. Cut a 14 1/2-inch 2x4 and then center and screw onto it, an 8-inch 2x4. At each end add a 1 1/2 inch piece of 2x4. The double #7's go in the notches and the 8-inch board gives the proper space. When you get past the double #7's take the 1 1/2 pieces off and replace them with 2 3/8 inch pieces, which makes the notch .875 inches.
@ateamofone lol, it will be the summer of 2028. I love the show, watch all the videos, but seriously I would like to see more progress per video. Do the fast forward thing, hire a couple of locals.. Help promote the local community more.
When I built walls for concrete with Simon’s panels, we put the forms in on the outside. Then we built all the rebar then we closed them up. But that was almost 30 years ago so I guess times change. And we did all our wire with wire pliers and a spool. We didn’t have the machine tile rebar together. Cutter bender was attached to a 2 x 8.
I bet his wife and kids might enjoy a movie or two, but more than that, they will enjoy the upper floors that are going to be built on top of the basement so he can finish his house addition they want.
Why didn't you go with ICF blocks for theatre walls as you have the strength of a concrete wall that actually has some insulation value and substantially easier to work with than the concrete forms. Just like putting together Lego blocks
@@gavinperry7237 I think time was his biggest issue with ICF, i think. He could get these forms much quicker than the ICFs and he also doesnt know anyone with ICF experience so he didnt have anyone to use for help if he needed it. These forms were like the ones Romans friend uses and thats why they went there to get a little hands on experience using them in the last few videos.
I love watching this!! I am sad the videos are so short. Wish you could set up a time-lapse of the whole day. 30 minutes to an hour would make me hapoy!😅😅😅😅
Totally perplexed as to what "underground movie theater" requires all the rebar and concrete. The interior walls also with all the same. Pulling some legs as to the real pupose?
From a guy who's looking at your video, I think you are doing well and you're going to finish sooner than later ( installing the forms) Roman please dress warmer 😀
@@benhur520 I have seen block walls that caved in, because there wasn't enough weight distributed evenly on top to keep the wall strong against the pressure of the back fill dirt.
I only have one question, Why Justin, why did you comeback when you was free and you knew it was the hardest part of the job but LoL you still came back 🤣💨
Hm-m-m, you are expecting one 2x4 with a few concrete nails securing it to the foundation to keep the form from blowing out at the bottom when you pour. Not so sure about that. Great seeing the gang back at work again.
Those are only there as an added protection. He will have a bunch of ties and other supports holding things in place. Hopefully these will not be needed and they will not even see any or not much pressure.
@@peterhaan9068 this is the internet, anything is possible and were all just guessing LOL I have worked with a basement company pouring basements and we never used any 2x4s or fastened the forms down to the footers. They were usually only 8 or 9 feet tall and 10 inches thick though, not like these huge tall walls will be.
@@peterhaan9068 heck, he isnt even using them like i thought he was going to be. I thought he was putting them down on the OUTSIDE edge of the form to keep it or help it from blowing out. I didnt know he was going to put them under the forms. Ive never seen this done ! LOL Im not sure what he is doing or thinking. Even if his footers arent exactly level, the forms can or should still sit ok enough on them to pour the walls. The top of the wall is where he can shim his top board to get it all level.
Roman...your body will burn it with this cold. You got this brother. Just feel bad that you did have enough warm clothing. Gotta take take of your body. This exposure will get you when your older.
It was so good to see Justin again. You had a great crew working today.

Justin & Roman THE TEAM IS BACK !
One step at a time. Full speed ahead! Nice job guys
It is so refreshing to see family n friends helping each other absolutely God's love Flowing ❤❤❤❤
Happy Sunday Cole and entire team. Awesome video.
It’s coming along! Nice that the leaf blower was enough to blow the snow out of the way. Saved a lot of time I’m sure.
Wow, forms, more rebar, snow and cold weather. What a challenge.
Great job, but why in the world aren’t you leaving the theater until spring? Finish the interior of the house while it’s cold.
Bingo
Hole in wall needs to be closed so basement floor can be finished to allow heat to be installed in house. Hole can’t be closed till theater walls done so floor can be poured.
@@alanyoder7629That is what he says, but it is wrong. cover the hole with plywood.
He has a fully pressured water line so he needs to get the theater done to minimize line freezing potential
Because he is building is house above the movie theater! His bedroom is going above it!
This is a very big project you might need more people
Getting started is always the hardest part. Now you've got moving you'll find time just flies by and you'll be ready to pour concrete before you know it. Are you building your tent frame before the concrete pour or after??
high of 60 today in SE Iowa and 50 yesterday. hope you guys poured during this nice weather, if you got some of it up north.
Same here in Central IL. It was wonderful!
😊 Working in cold weather useta be easy for me but nowadays I cannot handle 18° and do anything except look for some heat.
You're movie theater is going to be great when you're finished. Looking forward to seeing the progress in the next episode.
Can't believe you didn't go with ICF system. Even for a beginner. Especially in the winter where you must have heat on the walls.
Same! So much more efficient. Like stacking legos.
Agreed. So much easier to work with and a lot warmer basement
Yeah, I've seen a lot of videos where people do ICF and it seems so much easier than what they learned to do with Devin.
Welkers used it right. 😂
I cannot wait to see it all finished.
Look like some good progress to me but I was just watching from the couch.
Thanks for the entertainment ! 👍
I think that what you are doing is amazing! It gives me an idea of all the details needed to build a house!
Cole , may I suggest you put up a temporary plastic sheet over the hole going into the basement. This will allow you to run a heater of some type inside the house to give y’all a place to warm up .
Probably should just erect a giant circus tent because that's all this is now!
14:00 the king of back tracking
So grateful for all the progress guys! Thank you for working so diligently! God bless the Cornstar Team! 😇
It's very enjoyable to watch the build. One thing is for certain your underground movie theater will make one heck of a emergency bunker.
Stay warm stay safe
I hope Devin and his team show up as a surprise for you!! Either way it's gonna get done. Good job! I was worried but now that you got some training I have no doubt you guys can do this!
Justin !!!! Great to see you back .
Been in the 60s here in NEBR this weekend. Should be in your area by now. Enjoy!
That's great news!
Holy shit, at this pace you all will be working on this house another 2-3 years
Why couldn't you just hand tie the number 4 rebar on. That is crazy cutting all them upright rebar then having to put them back on. Just my opinion
If they were experienced with wire tie work then it would have been a little easier but with a few guys and that wire gun, it wasnt a huge time consuming deal the way they did it. The wires are also tighter now since newbies didnt tie them up by hand.
@@warrenmichael918 the wire ties aren't structural, just the re-bar and location of the steel
@@tommytoledo7748 i know this , thats why if they hand tied them , they could be too lose and all end up slipped down and not where they want them.

So happy for you to get to this point!
Now I am excited for the first movie night !
Great job Cole! Roman get some of the plastic go down and plug up the basement door! Thank you! #1,
As long as you are learning from your mistakes, it's not a mistake, it's just a learning curve. 😉 👍
What I like to tell my customers is “you’re paying for my experience and ability to finish faster then normal” you can’t charge hourly for that
Nah, if the name is Cole, it’s a mistake. Joking.
This project has more curves than Lizzo. LOL
Thanks for the idea - I need to call today a practice day too!
18 degrees and snow is not a good day! 110% miserable. You guys are nuts!
How long will they work in these conditions? And the redoing
This is why you hire professionals for things as important as this stage is!!!
He wants to save "MONEY." Besides that. Will have something to do for winter.
@ronvoelker its going to end up costing him more! You just wait!

Love the show today….a huge learning curve for all involved.
Yep. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
Welcome Back Justin!!!!!
Missed you ❤
Cole don’t forget to add that 2 x 4 into your final measurement where your wall is gonna be 2 inches too tall
They'll come back with a demolition saw and cut off that 2".
1 1/2"?
That wiil be discovered in February when he pulls the forms
The outside of the form will be pulled to the 2x4 and screwed to the lumber, it’s only there for registration not elevation.
dont forget to spray your chock line with clear spray
What's the re-pack and ship back process for those? Might jot down some pallet notes.
That doesnt matter as long as they all get loaded and returned. The form company cleans and restacks them according to the next job plans. They are not a one size fit all type of packaged form.
Cole your doing fine. A few more guy's would be nice tho. Don't let the nay sayers worry you. Been there done that 😊. Many of them have never done any kind of work like this.😅
😊 I'm incredibly impressed with you Cole thanks for sharing
Setting your forms on top of 2x4’s will make your wall 1-1/2” taller?
depends on how much concrete you put in.
Will that 2x4 hold the form?
you think thats the only thing holding the forms?
@ no but I think I remember the guy they were working with in Wyoming said something about only bolting one side of the forms to the concrete foundation as a way the control which side would absolutely stay on the marked line as one side would rip out. The forms would then rely on some other form of support. Maybe I missed something. But if I am not then I would be weary of using the wood. Idk just armchair quarterbacking here

Why not use ICF?
He thought about it and decided to not use them. His build his decision.
It does not fit with the plan of structurally overbuilt with a factor 4 and thermally under built with 3.

He didn't plan for ICF when he was doing the footers and all the rebar.

Framer here never poured a foundation but worked on hundreds of them never seen 2x4's put down first I've always seen them attached straight to the footing who showed you that trick? I'd make sure that's not a mistake before you proceed to stacking walls on them Keep up the great work the content is very good
I came down to the comments, wondering about that.
Probably a recommendation from the firm who leased the forms. They would know best how to install them.
Agreed ... pressure of concrete at the base of that 14 foot wall likely won't be resisted/held by the 2X4's. The base of the forms should be screwed right into the concrete as they are designed to hold the load when attached to the concrete.

Who is working on the inside of the main house... you could be done with that... inside; out of the cold then finish up the outside this coming spring .
Waiting on the plans. He is a "FARMER"'. They do things "DIFFERLENTLY" than other folks.
@ronvoelker you get plans before you f around.
Common sense, finish up the house and then make the movie theater an add on at a later time. This really is silly.
Nobody is working on the inside because a big part of it isnt even built yet. The basement needs finished BEFORE they can build the addition on top of it and get it all tied in to the main part of the house.
@warrenmichael918 blah blah blah
Close up the basement door and put some heat in the house!
How many fish do you need to screen in your movie theater? Set up a warming tent in your mansion. Heating the whole house isn't gong to be easy.
If the "crick" rises, it could send fish into the drain tile to the theater.
I hope you added the 1 and a half inches to the lower rebar on your lower rebar run. Remember you were 3" from the bottom when learning in Colorado. But you're gonna be 5" up this time to make sure you have room for the bracing between the forms.

Minnesota in my area has rain and melting now
I would have put the heater lower because heat rises and you would get the full effect
Infrared heater, works through electromagnetic radiation. That heater can heat you in a vacuum literally.
A day of 'mistakes' is not a bad day. It is a learning experience day. Things should go much smother on the next day 🙂
Make a couple of jigs that fit the correct space between the rebar and place it between them as you tie left to right. Cut a 14 1/2-inch 2x4 and then center and screw onto it, an 8-inch 2x4.

Hm-m-m, you are expecting one 2x4 with a few concrete nails securing it to the foundation to keep the form from blowing out at the bottom when you pour. Not so sure about that. Great seeing the gang back at work again.
Those are only there as an added protection. He will have a bunch of ties and other supports holding things in place. Hopefully these will not be needed and they will not even see any or not much pressure.
@@warrenmichael918 I hope you are right. Concrete always finds a way!
@@peterhaan9068 this is the internet, anything is possible and were all just guessing LOL I have worked with a basement company pouring basements and we never used any 2x4s or fastened the forms down to the footers. They were usually only 8 or 9 feet tall and 10 inches thick though, not like these huge tall walls will be.
@@warrenmichael918 Looks like my concerns are shared by Cole. Sure hope he hasn't shot himself in the foot with the new tractor!
@@peterhaan9068 heck, he isnt even using them like i thought he was going to be. I thought he was putting them down on the OUTSIDE edge of the form to keep it or help it from blowing out. I didnt know he was going to put them under the forms. Ive never seen this done ! LOL Im not sure what he is doing or thinking. Even if his footers arent exactly level, the forms can or should still sit ok enough on them to pour the walls. The top of the wall is where he can shim his top board to get it all level.
On several places you used shims under the 2 by 4 which creates a gap under them throug which the poured concrete could escape.
Roman...your body will burn it with this cold. You got this brother. Just feel bad that you did have enough warm clothing. Gotta take take of your body. This exposure will get you when your older.
