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.
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.
What skilful family. You will reap the benefits of all your hard work in the end. You can imagine how it’s going to look all landscaped sitting on the balcony on a summers night having a cold drink. Look forward to the next one.
Jess this is a fascinating series of man’s need to build a home using all his skill and learning new skill , the new vehicles and tools help but just the hard graft and focus required is daunting for most people but not you and your crew evidently
Congratulations, Jesse. First, being such a great father, your sons love their daddy. I love how you include them in the building of their house. Now, I have never seen anyone so thought out in building a home I would definitely hire you to create a home for me you are a pretty incredible man all the way around.
nice pump truck! you guys did great job keeping up w capacity of conc. being pumped. the slump looked perfect, nice vibration work & the guy placing the discharge did amazing guessing amounts didn't have a shovel too much or little. cant say enough ..i was P/M/field supervisor my entire adult life ran more multi mil jobs than can remember! seen a lot! extremely impressed cant say enough!!! more houses / bomb shelters should be built this way! your family will be safe.....surely. keep truckin Jesse
Thank you Jesse for the info you give and why.. Struth the amount of work you have done to get this far is a credit to you and your team of helpers. not forgetting the kids. Looking forward to part 10.
That pour went very smooth, shoutout to your guys, they make a great team. These build videos where you explain things are great to watch. Yes great sunsets you got there.
The magnetised drill is an amazing invention Jesse. Who would have thought this would have been invented. Good to see you allowing your boy to participate in your work, well done Jesse. Bob n Lina NZ.
Wow, there was sure a lot happening in this video! So much progress on your home was made! Before you know it, you'll be moving in. I don't know when you got the goats, but they are absolutely adorable!! I'll bet your boys have a lot of fun with them.
This video was a very interesting and educational piece of work. Your brain must stay in overdrive all the time. Loved the pictures of the sunsets. You have a really hard working helper. Loves helping his dad
Cool to see your son working the drill. My oldest daughter always wants to help out when I'm working on something even though she's only about to be 4. Special moments as a Dad.
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. Thanks for a great video!
Wow Jesse, what an update and some incredible team work & engineering. No blow outs no accidents and getting closer to that completion mark. The telehandler is starting to pay it's keep
... Those concrete guys make it look easy , they are really good at their job. Your house is looking good, I enjoy your videos especially when it's your house you're working on . All the best to you and your family.
Ok, I think the star piece of equipment so far is the home made jig for installing the piping in regard to the heating….. that’s a win- win-win 🪚🔩🔨⚒️🍺🍺🍺👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
Coming along beautifully when ur lad was helping drill the holes made me think when he's older and had his own children he can say to them me and ur grandad built it when I was your age and that's special my man great work boys 😎 who knows he may ask for u to help him build his own home when he's ur age and get then grand kids involved 👍
Awesome teaching your son about all these things so young... That's how I picked up a ton of my construction knowledge myself. I miss having a little one around wanting to help, as my son is now 20 and hopefully have a grandkid sometime to experience that again... and here I'm only 39 saying I'm old enough to be a grandpa... wtf...
Just amazing to see all the work that you have done for your home. All for the safety of your family is the way to go. Thanks for sharing all your hard work and looking forward to the next one. Be safe.
Outstanding, Jesse. LOTS of hard work and it's paid off. That was a good long video, but it went by very quickly to us because every minute of it was so interesting. Thanks for sharing these so we can join in your journey and learn along the way.
I was born into the Masonry and Carpentry world and I'm about done now at 57 in January. I used to start questioning why you're doing a particular task in a certain way. I stopped quite a while ago, I just say he has a plan and every time it comes together. You may crack and creak like an old wooden ship when you get older, but that's how you know you have accomplished something. Keep plugging on.
You are to be commended on this great accomplishment. The design and construction is mind boggling. You and your crew are an unbelievable team. Everyone performs like it is easy and have done it before. Just wonderful. To me, this is new technology, even though others have done this years before. Congrats to you and your team.
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.
@@jeepindave5464 Absolutely. I had five houses in Coral Gables when Andrew went through. The Hurricane Center modeled gusts up to 193mph for the development I was working in. All I lost were roof tiles and two oversized sliding glass doors. Jesse's house is structurally identical except we were using block.
10/8/22. 2day was prep for concrete yur 2nd story floor. Overkill: you followed yur engineered plans +extra. 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. Gotta wonder ...if more kids come along...guess u will build a submarine for your office & place it under your circle pond!...LoL! Stay safe & carry on Sir!👍👍👍👍👍💪🛠⚙️🍺
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. 🙂
I live in Bulgaria and our temperatures over winter can drop to -35 % c and we have wood burning stoves, I walk around at home in t shirt and shorts and flip flops. Only ever wear socks when I go out over winter.
Amazing skies and scenery! You really have done so much, it is awesome. Very nice video. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. All the best. 😃
Great job so glad it went well for you all that extra planning paid off plus glad you think of the safety of you and your guys you have a good tight team working with you Regards Steve UK London
I would think you had a bit of a cheer 1) after the braces com off and (2) when you finished the second floor joists . People that have not done this kind of work ( grounded people) don't understand the inner emotion of that. Good to see this phase done.
All Credit To You Jesse ....... A Great Dad and Hubby, Hard Worker and No Doubt a Great Mate to your Friends ..... Good Stuff .... Cheers From Australia 🇦🇺🇺🇸
I did highrise plumbing for years and most people don’t think about the deflection in the forms over larger spans once the concrete is on them. Good work. 👍
Jesse. you guy's did a Great job. it is nice to see everyone working together and everyone know's what need's done. and work as a team. i will be looking for the next video. great job.
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. 👍
Excellent video Jesse. Appreciate your sharing the knowledge and the expertise applying it. Great team and the harmony working together. Your videos create the best of a symphony of effort and then you end with great music. Love you, your family, your crew and associates. Sincere prayers and blessings of health, strength, safety, wisdom and success. ☝🙏🙌💪🎯
That mix looked nice to work with.Those slabs inside the insulation envelope will do a lot to even out temperature difference’s to the outside so well worth the extra effort 👍🇬🇧🤓
Safety tip from experience - take some rebar safety caps or tennis balls, and cover up goat horns. Glue 'em or zip tie. Takes a few minutes. One gored a 7 yr. old I knew in the 80's, by accident, and it was a trauma one can easily avoid. Child survived & we ate roasted the goat. Great vid as always.
Thanks for all the details. I'll never build a house for myself (I'm old enough to wonder if I even want to have someone build a house for me), but I really enjoy learning about these things, and you give enough information that I feel I can understand the process.
In the light of whats coming it is interesting to see the family dynanic you demonstrate... parents, brothers, children all working together to a common goal. Your kids are receovomg a [rovo;aged upbringing in that they see real men at work producing real things. 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.
Great video Jessie I'm coming along with the structural concept I've been a framer along with a lot of remodeling room addition s so the load and the total job is completely brand new to me I've been in the south west all my life. AMAZING WORK and y'all's little boy is adorable
The "Mag" drills are awesome 20+ years ago I replaced a double truck frame rail. used the inner old rail to transfer marks to new outer railto drill the 50+ holes then used the outer new rail to layout the new inner rail holes. worked great only had o hole a little off to necessitate reaming. Quite the tool.
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.
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.
Unbelievable

I would think you had a bit of a cheer 1) after the braces com off and (2) when you finished the second floor joists . People that have not done this kind of work ( grounded people) don't understand the inner emotion of that. Good to see this phase done.
All Credit To You Jesse ....... A Great Dad and Hubby, Hard Worker and No Doubt a Great Mate to your Friends ..... Good Stuff .... Cheers From Australia 🇦🇺🇺🇸
I did highrise plumbing for years and most people don’t think about the deflection in the forms over larger spans once the concrete is on them. Good work. 👍
I can't wait to see the next video on the house build love seeing the house coming along how many bedrooms up stairs keep making awesome videos
Have i mossed a video i never saw the 1st floor walls and windows and landscaping going up? Really is looking amazing well done
That magnetic drill press is awesome and so is your son.
Jesse. you guy's did a Great job. it is nice to see everyone working together and everyone know's what need's done. and work as a team. i will be looking for the next video. great job.
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. 👍

Sincere prayers and blessings of health, strength, safety, wisdom and success. ☝🙏🙌💪🎯
Great video 👍 Jessie epic video and build always appreciate the time and effort you put into both and learning along the way.
Jesse I really like how you take the time to explain things I don’t mind the longer videos I actually kind of like them can’t wait for the next one
Wow! So much hard work but excited yall are making so much progress. Waiting for more videos!
Love seeing ur boys and wife on ur videos too!
Its great to watch a true professional who knows what he is doing. Good progress Jesse.
Jesse what can I say your knocking the home build-out of the park, also you got a good team working shoulder to shoulder with you .
Looking good Jesse. Getting closer to finish 💪🤠
Neat system to watch being used. I'm trying to picture how the poured roof will look. Awesome sky views with the drone! Thanks, and Stay Safe!!!
Your Bro in law and your buddy, the bearded wonder, work so well together. Trust and know how is important with your team and its safety.
Looks cool, it is night time here and I am enjoying watching this, tv is crap where I live.
You've got a little bit of heaven there. Nice sound track.
Great job Jesse and the other boys, well done!👌👍
I’m loving this ICF stuff !
That mix looked nice to work with.Those slabs inside the insulation envelope will do a lot to even out temperature difference’s to the outside so well worth the extra effort 👍🇬🇧🤓
Just started to watch this video but I am excited.
Safety tip from experience - take some rebar safety caps or tennis balls, and cover up goat horns. Glue 'em or zip tie.
Takes a few minutes. One gored a 7 yr. old I knew in the 80's, by accident, and it was a trauma one can easily avoid. Child survived & we ate roasted the goat.
Great vid as always.
Those goats are really cute. I'm always amazed at what goats can climb. They can manage some pretty crazy stuff, especially when no one is looking lol
Nicely done. I don’t mind the long videos. Look forward to the next one.
Absolutely love this series, incredible to see everything taking shape
You gotta love these two mugs of coffee videos !👍
Nice job, Jesse. Concrete floors are real nice.
Thanks for all the details. I'll never build a house for myself (I'm old enough to wonder if I even want to have someone build a house for me), but I really enjoy learning about these things, and you give enough information that I feel I can understand the process.

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.
Great video Jessie I'm coming along with the structural concept I've been a framer along with a lot of remodeling room addition s so the load and the total job is completely brand new to me I've been in the south west all my life. AMAZING WORK and y'all's little boy is adorable
That 360 timelapse pan in the beginning was pretty cool!
Solid house! Would want Jesse to build the same house for me if I lived in hurricane prone Florida.
It's lookin good Jesse,kicking ass!
Loved watching the welding on the vertical post with the level etc, that was priceless. 😂😂😂😂
You are a hard worker and a good father.

Enjoying the build and learning also! Thanks for videoing! Looking great! 👌👌
I was always looking for your parents place on other videos, I got to see it on this one at the end lol
Good job it will be a good home thanks for sharing.
the progress of your project is coming along. another great video jesse!
The "Mag" drills are awesome 20+ years ago I replaced a double truck frame rail. used the inner old rail to transfer marks to new outer railto drill the 50+ holes then used the outer new rail to layout the new inner rail holes. worked great only had o hole a little off to necessitate reaming. Quite the tool.
I love the way you overdo everything - same here.
I thought before the end that sounded like Ryan Farish music. Found his stuff of all places on the weather channel! Lol. Looking good my friend!
yea I mostly listen to his music in my free time, he has the small details all right
Thanks for sharing your step by step videos Jesse!!!!
Man I had stuff to do today lol - Place is starting to look awesome!
save the video for later. there is no rush. the next video will be even more interesting any ways
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
You truly have a piece of heaven… what beautiful sunsets
Amazing job you're one smart guy! If you were living in St Louis Mo. Man you would be building my house
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.
