    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?

    • @lostwave4880
      @lostwave4880 Месяц назад +6

      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.

    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.

    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.
