    Nice job and HEY, this RADON stuff is serious. Where I live, don't think about selling your house without having a RADON test done FIRST. THEN any adjustments must be made and tested again. Often time it results in drilling a hole in the concrete floor to expel the gas. Fine but if you're sitting on a high water table, that hole now receives water. Quite the mess and I think hats off to you for bringing it up. Good job cuz it's serious stuff! Good job crew! Sonny (CT)

    Been watching your channel for a while I'm an old 76 year old farmer - - drainage contractor - Township Trustee- workaholic I'm laid up right now can't do much but I love watching your Channel yes I have poured my share of concrete and it's typically work especially if you don't have enough help I put in millions of feet Farm drainage custom work and on my own Farms behind a trencher first and now we do most of it with a drainage plow but ten years ago I bought my first mini excavator and I love it to death I didn't buy one until I should have been retired but I would take that over a boat or a set of golf clubs any day I use it all the time and help the neighbors out with it I got a big brush cutter that I put on it and I can cut off about 4 inch rims in a couple seconds I should be completely retired but I just wish I had more work for my mini excavator cuz that is my plaything I wish I was young enough to be back in the heat of bad one like you but I didn't realize that back then take care

    Great video. I haven't seen a basement job in about 35 years. No basements here in Hawaii, one hurricane and it would become a pool or water tank. Lol
    The last concrete job I was on was a 5 floor parking structure, that was a project. I think it used 2 million cubic feet of concrete in the foundation mono-floor, columns, deck floors, walls, buttresses, structure beams, bridge supports, skyway, and staircase structures. The columns and beams used a multi- layer 3, 4, 5, 7 rebar combination with all post tension cable floor suspension systems with 60,000 psi pulls and triple locking cones. The concrete was a dry slump 15,000 psi something or other specialty mix that had to have 12 core samples per truck batch to monitor consistency throughout the entire project for seismic/ unstable ground requirements. Nothing complicated, just a footing that took 2 and a half years to complete and you could not remove the forms from a section until the cores were cured 28 days then tested 14 days later and finally certified. Of course each section took about 2 week longer than certification, so once the first sections were certified things moved right along, except one section that had cable failure and had to be redone. I learned a lot on that job, wow.

    Food for thought. Years ago we furnish concrete for a couple bothers. When they pure the footing they would turn a 2 x 4 on it edge and put a V in the center of the footing that where they stuck the vertical Re bar in the center of the V. I ask what this was for? He said that this help block water from entering into the house basement floor. Just thought you would be interesting in some old ways of doing footing and walls..

My contractor said no sump just a P trap drain said yes I will take responsibility for any issues and a sump just another place for the boys to pee in we won't go into that discussion. Back filled system entirely with pea stone 2 outer perimeter tile ,1 inner ,basement floor P drain and 2 floor garage drains all schedule 35 to daylight with rat traps on the ends since Nov 98 no issues ever with water to date none expected.

    I wouldn't trowel a footing (footer as you call it) 'baby bum smooth'. If you just give it a rough hand float to make it level for the forms, when you pour the wall the base of the wall gets a bit more grip on the footing making it even less likely to move. Being able to smile and joke after the pour is done is a very good day in concrete.

    I tried to contact form a drain people's, but they didn't reply. Usually form a drain is leveled straight with leveled footing to be poured in it. How water moves in form a drain. As Inside of form a drain also have straight divider.
    Unless we decline the form a drain. Which we don't, we level the form a drain to get leveled footing.
    Please reply. I am going to start my home build in next two months.

    Radon is a radioactive gas that occurs during the decomposition of natural uranium or thorium in the ground. Not a big deal outside - but inside is a different story. Interesting story is that a mine worker discovered his house had radon when he kept setting off the geiger counter at work and ended up bringing one home.

    Should you not have a keyway in the footer to prevent shear between the wall and footer due to earth pressure? At six feet below grade the lateral pressure at the junction of the footer and wall will equal equal approximately 480 lbs/sf lateral pressure and if water in trapped in the soil on the exterior you will have a condition of soil and water, thus the lateral pressure will increase unless relived.

    Do you strip the form a drains off and reuse them or keep them on? Where do you get your spacers ?
