Concrete day!!!! Whawho!! Happy new year
I wish you a happy new year from Mexico! 😊💕💕💕
Hello happy new year
One more thing done. Happy New Year's 🎊🕛🎊
Please keep the videos coming this is great watching you guys build
My favorite, RUclips family❤. Snack priority is vital.. the important snacks not fruits and vegetables 😂😂. It is so amazing to see all of the progress that you have made over this past year. Can’t wait to see the progress of the house built over 2024. Have a blessed and prosperous new year. Blessings to your family.😍😍
So excited for you and your family , everything looking so good ❤
I'm so glad you are going to start building your house soon.❤❤👍👍👍👍👊👊👊👊🫶🫶🫶🫶
As an architect and growing up working in construction in the past, I do hope you allowed for at least 1/2 inch slope into the sump pit from all external forms. Failing to allow for a slope will allow water to pool in the wrong area of an underground room should the joint between the walls and slab should fail.
Diesel fuel will work as a release on the forms also. For folks who have never done concrete work, it is not an easy job at all.
HI. 1st time watching your channel.
I have noticed that most of you DIY people don't use caps on your rebarb. Out here in Australia, it is law to have them on, whether it is a registered building company or a home builder. Too many rocks for me. 🙂🙂
Nice job! See you next year!
Great work. Looking good. Can't wait to see the walls going up.
Hey good morning my friend how you guys doing today hope everything is good but the kids had a good Christmas out there keep up the good work one step at a time. And keep working and you'll get it done eventually happy New Year's to🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love Sundays when a new video comes out!! Things are getting even more exciting every day now that work is beginning on the actual house! Yay! You all have a Happy New Year! Best wishes from a fan and subscriber in Missouri!
👍
Love you guys!!! I'm selfish and want more videos. Lol. Just kidding, kinda. I know a family keeps you busy. Love your work and have a wonderful New Year's!
P.S. I'm sure your viewers wouldn't mind a New Year's night on the homestead video.😉
I’m addicting to your channel, What a year of success went by , I can’t wait for newyear new plans is coming, your kids are adorable, let them involve so they can learn from you , HAPPY NEWYEAR TO YOU ALL , 🎉🎊❤️
good work love you guys,,,gals happy new year,,,,
Looks Awesome!! You two make a phenomenal team!! Happy New Year to you all!! 🎊 🎉🤩
Great job. I am surprised the inspector didn't require you to put mushrooms on the ends of the rebar especially being a 10 + foot deep pit and all those great kids around. Anyway, looks like fun. Have a Happy New Year
Happy New Year 🌟 ✨️ 🎉🥳
Safety FIrst! Rebar Caps needed! Anyone falling into the hole is a goner......
Punji trap! 🦌
Nice job! That slap looks great...especially considering the below ground conditions. 🎉
Great video as always happy new year
My husband and I really enjoy your channel...your family and your journey. We've been there in life. It's kinda like re-living our journey through you! Looking forward to watching as you build your home. Happy new year!
Guys, it is generally accepted that concrete take 28 days to fully cure. Perhaps, on your next concrete pour you specify a concrete anti freeze in the mixer. Same applies to mortar as you build up the walls....Regards Robin....
Dear Lady.
Thanks a lot for using the correct term concrete truck and not cement truck. Most people seem not to be aware that cement is only one ingredient of the concrete recipe. I even heard a man say cement slab and cement curing. But I simply can't remember who it was. 😁 ;-) 😜😝👅😇😘 2) Happy new year 🎉
Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards, luck, health and wisdom.
It's a good thing bigfoot didn't fall into your cellar. He would have gotten mad.
Also, it looks like your youngest was trying to do a Hulk impression. Break, break, break , , ,
I was worried you wouldn't have enough rocks to hold the tarp down! lol Happy New Year!
It came pretty close 😆. Thanks
I’m glad you’re video popped up. I’ve been thinking about a root cellar for hanging & processing deer. Thanks great job.
Okay... so I just found your channel and watched a couple of your uploads. Looks like you got an ambitious project there - so I'm going to have fun watching you bring your vision into reality. Thanks for sharing this journey with us.
6:29 Please consider getting a Concrete Vibrator for eliminating voids in the concrete, especially along the form boards.
So incredibly awesome guys! I'm thinking back to your episode where you pull your trailer onto your property. Comparing where you are now vs then must feel just so amazing. GREAT JOB!
It does feel amazing. Thanks, and Happy New Year 😊
Congrats on the first concrete pour!! Question... what level are you using for grading?
Praying for no snow so you can keep building!
It's a Johnson. We need the moisture, but at the same time, we don't want any so we can keep going😅. Thanks
Happy New Year to my favorite channel and family. Hope you have a safe and great New Year’s Eve and new year.🎉
You guys do great work. Your place will be amazing I’m certain of it.
Try rubbing you wood forms with a thin coat of Crisco or lard to make them easier to free from the curing concrete.
After a day water only helps concrete cure better. Covering the site may help curing as you mentioned to keep the heat in.
Wishing you all well into 2024 and looking forward to your house build, Cheers from Calgary Canada
Great job guys and loved the video 😘👍🏻💕🙏🏻🙏🏻Happy new year 🎊🎉🎈🎈
Petroleum jelly on your forms first next time,,,grease it up..
Happy new year!! I’m so happy and excited for y’all. God bless ❤
We would add 3 % Calcium if it was going to freeze or close to freezing.
you are much more patient than me. i would have made a gig to cut nearly 74 boards
Blessed new year.
Happy New Year 🎉
Great video, the slab looks really good!!
Happy New Year!!
Happy new year :) you are doing a Awesome job :)
I found your channel a couple of weeks ago and have been binge watching trying to get caught up. You have a great family. I really enjoy watching you guys develop your property. I would like to see you tell more about your family and your background.
Rich from Missouri.
If you search for the video titled "Family of 6 left civilization to be off grid and debt free. Why?" That explains a little bit about us. It doesn't tell the whole story, unfortunately, but we do share tidbits of information about us from time to time. Hope this helps. Thanks for joining our journey 🙂
I recently found your channel and subscribed. I went back to the very first vlog and have been catching up on your playlist. I'm currently watching the vlogs on digging out trenches for your leach bed. I am so amazed at how big those boulders were and how determined you all were to finish the job. I love watching your children. Especially Eli. You must be so proud of them and it is so wonderful the work ethic you are building in them. Looking forward to getting caught up to your current vlogs.
We've come a long way and have a long way to go. Glad you could come with us. Thanks 🙂
I've heard that lumber shrinks as it dries, will yours have enough drying time? When the cement truck first pulled up and I saw the markings on the drum I thought for sure it was a Decepticon.
It's been sitting for a couple of months. But I don't think the cold has helped much with the drying. Luckily, they're going to just be temporary forms. Decepticon 😁
Awesome progress. Looks great. Thanks for sharing
Looking good HAPPY NEW YEAR🎉
Dont forget a check valve close to the pump👍😊
Nice job! How much cement did you use and what does it cost per yard out by you?
Ordered 5 yards at $187 😵💫 a yard.
Thanks
I was wondering where your power wire conduit is at for the sump pump. I guess you have another way to get the power there.from above?
There will be a plug installed for it.
❤😊❤😊❤😊
You guys gals did great 🏜️🏆👍
One of my brothers did footings and foundations, and they always had a can of old motor oil to paint the wood with to prevent the concrete from sticking to the wood. You can easily understand why that's so helpful, I'm sure.
😱 What???You cant be serious to give a heart to this comment. Because only people who still want/like to pollute the environment and the concrete use old, used engine oil as a separation layer! You also don't use Diesel or kerosene. So please be a good role model for your kids and all the viewers and either use a special separation oil for concrete construction work or simply boiled linseed oil. This makes your life respectively taking out/off the formwork much easier. It becomes also easier after the wood has lost some of the moisture and it has shrunk back to it's former size again. And yes, amongst other things (for instance being an inventor), I am respectively was a construction specialist in Germany.
Best regards, luck, health and wisdom.
@@Chr.U.Cas1622this was a common practice to oil forms with old motor oil up until the early 2000's. Some people have resorted to using crisco or lard to oil the forms for small projects which are less likely to pollute the environment. You have to heat the stuff in a pot and apply it quickly with a coarse brush used for painting on cement based sealants.
Dear @@Subgunman
😱 What you write in public was/is maybe common where you live (see the comment from the man who still recommends to do this in 2023!)! 🙈 But it was/is definitely not common in countries respectively by people who care for the environment. I'm in the construction and engineering business since 1979 in Europe/Germany. Fortunately I've never heard of this kind of messing around with used black motor oil what you describe as common practice. I'm really shocked because this stuff is simply poisonous and bad for the concrete too. Unfortunately way too many people all over the world still give a 💩 about the environment/nature (although living in and from it)!
Best regards, luck, health and wisdom.
@@Chr.U.Cas1622 Since you've said that you lived/worked in Germany, I'm going to attribute the tone of your reply to a language barrier instead of outright discourtesy. I did not suggest that they use old motor oil, but I can see how it may have seemed that I did. I was simply relating an anecdote about how I'd seen things done in the past. Given Jacob's experience in construction, I'm quite sure he's aware of a number of options, and in fact, some other comments on the video suggested that he use non-toxic oils/greases. Furthermore, the channel owners typically "heart" most or all comments as a way of showing appreciation for the viewers.
Dear @@dionh70
😂😂😂 Between us might be a huge mind barrier but certainly only a slight language barrier if any. Just look at your highly aggressive guggl imagine photo. 2) Please kindly allow me to suggest that you try to read your own first comment as a stranger = objective. If you are able to do so, you will see, that it is written like a suggestion how to separate formwork wood from concrete. Absolutely no suggestion in it how it could be done better respectively how it should be done! Way too many people are simply not aware of what they write/suggest or show in public. Even more are not aware that it's dangerous for mankind to harm nature respectively the environment. Simply because it strikes back sooner or later. 3) If a channel owner gives hearts to comments like if he is watering a lawn, the given heart is meaningless = wasted. Usually a heart is a thank you respectively showing respect for a viewers comment/answer. Much more than a thumbs up. If hearts are spread only to gain viewers respectively their attention, they are simply meaningless.
Best regards, luck, health and wisdom.
Its a mini-basement, great job.
Wishing you all a happy new year
Have a Happy New Year
Good job guys, it's a great start, on the build !
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and the kids ❗️
What a great end to such a successful year. 2024 will be really interesting. Glad you had enough rocks to hold down the tarp!😜 Natalie - you’re so right - it DOESN’T get any better than that. Precious kids. Happy New Year!😍🇨🇦
👍👍👍happy new year.. happy new year
so now you have a root cellar , are you planning on a garden
After we take care of our water situation we will have a big garden. Hopefully 🙂
i hope this isn't a dumb question but i was wondering since there was so much work to build this food pantry why didn't you make it much bigger?
We actually made it 1.5 ft wider than our original size. But the bigger we go, the more rock we would have had to pull out of the ground, and the more this little root cellar would cost in time and money. And it's just for food, plus there will be a pantry right above it. Thanks 🙂
thank you
@@aboulderlifeoffgrid
Nice pour.
Have a Happy New Year 🎉
May the new year bring so much progress on your home build ❤
love it
No moisture barrier?
Figured it was deep enough in the ground where it's a lot dryer. Guess we'll find out though if we were wrong. Thanks 🙂
Should be fine as covered by house footprint.
