    All America houses should be build like this. Concrete all the way no wood. Then no worry about hail, termites, water damage etc.

      Actually termites are a concern. They will tunnel through and destroy the outside polystyrene. You have to seal up above grade by another foot, and then have protection underneath the bottom of your siding solutions. Insects absolutely love making nests using foam. Totally destroying the outer surface and insulation effect.

    It's awesome to see Jesse buy old machines and fix them. Then they help fix other machines. Then finally they are building his family a new home.

    Good to see some one over build like I did. I built my own 3,000 square ft two story house. I had 31 bell bottom piers drilled for me. Everything else we did ourselves. I had to dig out about 500 feet of trenches for the 5 concretes beams in both directions with six #5 rebars in each beam. The architect said we could dig out the dirt of from under our slab and it would stand up like a freeway overpass on columns. We poured the slab, did all the plumbing, framing, dry wall, roofing ( red Spanish clay tile 21,000 lbs worth), cabinets, stucco. We even made our own trim wood and cabinets.

    Watching you putting all those orange caps on the rebar ends. I was in 1977 an apprentice at a building site in downtown Amsterdam (which was a lot of fun) when one of the trades fell (with his thigh) into one of those rebar stakes. He was in the hospital for a week and "out of business" for probably a month. Nice guy, in the end all right. But he would have been saved by those orange plastic caps !!

    My husband and I are hooked on the way you do things. I told my husband he is a master builder. He knows ten steps ahead what needs to be done, when and how. Always a plan B and so diligent on safety. Mr. Muller you are an inspiration to all of us. Mr Muller your family is beautiful and your interaction with them goes beyond words. My husband said at one point if he were younger he would be working with you, and coming from him that is a big compliment. We will continue watching you on You Tube and hats off to a true and honest hard working man.

    I just happened to see this video and it caught my attention as I had looked into and talked with them about their joist system. I'm in the process of finalizing my plans and have watched countless ICF builds. What do you mean the next one will be interesting!! I haven't see anything show half the detail that you did with such a wide variety of tools and skills to operate them. Mag drills rock and I have told others they are so simple to use that a five year old can run them. Great job getting him involved. Loved the fab work. I'll be honest, half way thru the pour, I thought these guys are in trouble. Right then you showed up with the power screed. . . .
    Saved!!! LOL!!! The slab turned out great. Now I'm off to your next video & then to the first.

I stopped quite a while ago, I just say he has a plan and every time it comes together.

    My father used a similar structure and monolithic pour back in the 1950's for the roof on his boathouse on Lake Erie. When he finally got tired of it he asked me to get rid of it. I drove a 955 out onto it assuming I would collapse it... Nope. I had to nibble at it from inside and it took over a day of brutalizing the Cat to demolish enough of it to bury the evidence. I was so happy to use all concrete construction in South Florida.

Divided support structure below this (2b) floor with extra grid supports via 2x6 studs with 2x8 top plates & mighty fine steel I-beams. Oh yes Jesse, much appreciate your attitude of sharing/educating viewers with all your information on this type of very high end total concrete (slab/walls/floors & [soon] roof members & commercial cc panels. This will be a fortress with very well thought out pathways for power/water/sewer & plumbing ventilation code requirements.

    This house will not be one of those who will be blown away when a storm comes with 80 or 90 miles. But it will cost a lot more than the 'sheds' they normally build in US and Canada. My cousin lived in Toronto for 5 years as CFO of Bayer Canada. Once there was a storm with about 70 miles and her house was shaking so much that she got afraid. These ICF-houses are much better when they built by an expert like Jesse. I like his videos and work since a couple of years. Good luck for finishing the house. 🙂

    Nice work, your equipment is working well.
    I work on a building in LA California, built in 1911. Brick and laminated structural steel . The floors were built much like your house, instead of foam they built a wood deck and used a clay chimney type tube with some interior channels . Spaced a foot apart with square rebar two on the bottom and top. When it was stripped they plastered the ceiling . Our job was to make it meet earthquake requirements. About 500 feet of shear wall per floor tying in new slabs poured on top of old. 5 floors below grade and 14 above. we found the date carved in an old wall.
    16 months of work for me. In California you would need much more rebar, nice metal fabricating too.
    You could always add more shoring under the floor, one and done. 👍

    Safety tip from experience - take some rebar safety caps or tennis balls, and cover up goat horns. Glue 'em or zip tie.

In the world where the big companies; Facebook, Instagram, RUclips and Twitter produce nothing yet operate using buildings and machines produced by labour it is good to see you and your family labouring and producing.
    I would love to hear how your garden did this year if you ever have time... what you got out of your animals and what the cost to produce came in at... I appreciate you Jessie and wish you had been there when I was a young, healthy man. God bless you and your endevours.

    Working (enjoying is more accurate) my way through this playlist.
    We had a total loss house fire and had to replace it quickly (as possible) and went with a modular (craned into position). I wish that hadnt happened and we had the time to build and het something closer to our dream house, I'm loving the full concrete build and think if i had the opportunity to build again, if go this route as well.
    Hat's off to you sir.

      yea this house sure does ease the mind a little, dont need to worry about fire, flooding, hurricanes, tornados, bullets, etc. at the time of planning it was actually cheaper than a stick frame

      @@jmuller86 Hurricane proof ease of mind would be sweet. We've lucked out this year, we've usually had a couple by now, but every one of them has veered out to sea before they hit us this year (Nova Scotia, east coast Canada). Others (North Carolina, Florida) haven't been so lucky.
      For years I've thought of building a cement structure below grade. Have the main structure below grade, with only a small cabin/small house visible above ground. LCD screens for windows hooked to cameras outside.
      The privacy, noise and weather isolation, along with the constant ground temp would be unparalleled IMO. Access to the ungrounded structure would be through a hidden doorway(s) in the above ground structure.
      A hidden underground garage to match would be the legend.
      Heating/cooling costs would be minimal. A solar array and sizeable battery bank, live large cheaply and on the down low.

      @@SuburbanK2500 you are thinking just like me. All of that sounds great. I hope to dip into that kind of building soon. Up in the adirondacks I may do something like that, and I also may do another one down by me on my investment property and then sell it. I thought the same thing, build most of the structure underground on a hillside with just the front exposed with a door, and above it would be a flat concrete deck/roof with a small cabin part that is wood framed, so that the roof of the underground part is a big deck above

    Good job Jesse and crew, however the added costs suck I'm sure , my house was stick framed with second floor heated slab on framing, which with open to ceiling foyer heat is rarely required up stairs just FYI for others . The build is interesting and that's appreciated along with your honesty and out side of the box thinking, original thoughts are rare ,so keep on truck'n.
