Congratulations Matt! Your concrete pour went perfectly - thanks to your excellent preparation. Kudos to your parents for their help. Everything stayed plumb and square and there were no concrete leaks at any of your "areas of concern". Awesome to have Dustin there to guide the concrete pipe to pour the concrete where it needed to go. Thanks for sharing - look forward to seeing the next stage of construction. 😀
Could not have gone any better, Matt 😃 All the bracing has paid off, I do agree with DP to put an extra brace in the doorway, at the very least it would have stopped them all escaping 😂😂😂 Dustin pulled himself together to get through the last few pieces, pleased he was able to stay along with your Dad for the day 💪😁 Setting the string line offset from the wall works well, now I know how it is done, it makes more sense. And the ease of adjusting the braces is a timesaver !! Time lapse of pumping was good, ideal place for the camera on the boom 😎👍
That went really well. It was nice seeing DP stop by, I knew you'd asked him to do a quick preinspection and I knew Aaron wouldn't miss it either. Mike was so funny. "No seriously, I hear the concrete truck. I gotta go!" This is a great build.
One step at a time and the Castle/Lighthouse exstension is getting closer to it's occuppency inspection. Good of DP and Arron to show up and put in their 2 cents. That extra door frame bracing was definitely good advice. I myself was wondering about it. Matt, can't wait to see the next episode of the Castle/Lighthouse build project.
Great video Matt, Mike has a lot of experience with ICF and it's good you had him and Aaron over. You're right about the pump truck operator as he seemed very experienced and patient as well. Talk about good friends, Dustin shows up just when you needed a someone you trust to help. It looks good Matt.
You just knew DP would find something…lmao! 😂 Glad the pour went so well. Can’t wait to see everything all cleaned up, and on to the next step(s). Thanks for sharing Matt!
Excellent testimonial to what a proper set up does for a project, “NO BLOW OUTS”, plumb and square, can’t get any better than that sir, thanks to you and your helpers for the video.
When I was younger and could help friends with projects, towards the end the host would state; "Thank-you my friends, your services are invaluable." and the traditional response from one of the helpers was; "Ah, so we're not getting paid for this either?" ;-)
DP and MBTS dropping in for shenanigans and comedy! Never a dull moment. All we need is Captain Kleeman and Jerry to put their two cents in for a standing ovation! Poor Dustin. He can't have too many friends. I don't think he realizes how many viewers are friends. If you really think about it, we "ensure" he has too many friends! Glad to see this pour went well. Been awhile since I have seen an ICF poor like this with that above view! Next step, putting in the sub floor!
It was nice to see DP & MBS, plus it was good to see you at the save the house job also. The Castle is coming along nicely although you still have a lot of work still to go, but it’s great to see the progress.
Job well done guy's! Poor Dustin, his search for better friends continues.....lol. That pour looked way to easy but even with no concrete experience myself I was watching as you were right on top of it. Nice of DP and MBTS to stop by, I thought you did well on the Inspection, Good Job. Keep up the good work Matt your doing great.
👍👍👍💙💛❤MATT, imi pare bine ca toata lumea te sprijina cel putin spiritual in constructia aditionala castelului. Un video reusit si ma bucur ca ai finalizat inca un punct foarte important .👍
my mind and my good thoughts were with you on that pour. we have all seen things despite the very best of preparations. congrats. i wish that job was mine'. how 'bout that dustin? he can be gracious and cool at the same time. he knows when to arrive and when to leave. the hallmark of a true friend. best wishes.
That wall looked like it might have been about .50 thousands of an inch off😅 just kidding looked outstanding glad it's working out for you and thanks for sharing
How long was that screw you put in a 4:10 or so? Does that mean there is a nice sharp point sticking down from the bottom of that block? Oh yeah it does and can be seen at 4:30 or so...beware the sharp pointy bits sticking out, I have learned that the hard and painful way, far too often. I love the detailed explanations you always give. :)
Good job fellas, i was hoping to have a better view of the mix, but at any rate it looks like everything went well. I have never poured on Styrofoam forms before so my question for you is, is it typical to pour without vibrating? I do know that stingers do create a lot of pressure if you hold them to long, im just wondering if the forms would hold up to gently stinging between lifts. Thanks for sharing MM.
if you slow down the video at around the 20:20 mark you will see both Matt and Duncan using a hand held vibrating tool against the inside styrofoam wall to settle it.
Matt it was good to see DP and his 4 ft walking ego with a mouth show up!😂😂😂😂. To bad you did not put Aaron to work, but again it would made some work raising the walk board 2 feet higher, so Aaron could see in the form.😂😂😂 You guys are a great team. So what happen to captain demolition, I see DP equipment is not getting torn up.😂😂😂
One day (don't hold your breath though!!) DP and Small Man will stay and actually HELP you. Don't fall off your chair laughing either Matty. hahahaha The pour went well and you only had small adjustments to do after the pour; well done mate. :)
Did you need to vibrate the pour? If not why? Remember please I’m the overnight field tech who only gets to watch. I’m learning a lot from you. Thanks and hi from Texas
Great job. My first thought when you put those braces up was that those walkboards seemed pretty close to the wall, but since I wasn't the one walking on them, I let it go.
I was just typing to reinforce that door lower than Mike showed up😮😮 1' 3' 5' than every two for from there concert like water has a need to find the weak spot and push 30 yrs of experience here, nya

Nice pour Matt and team! SuperForm actually passed the 12' pour! Amazing
Agreed! Thank you
You're hired!
😂🤣

Thank you
Has anyone ever said how your dad resembles Tommy Silva of This Old House. We as a family are really enjoying this build! Thanks for sharing!
First time hearing that! Awesome!!!
Yes! This part of the mission is complete. Thanks for sharing the complete process. West coast needs more ICF used.
I agree! Thanks
Great video Matt, Mike has a lot of experience with ICF and it's good you had him and Aaron over. You're right about the pump truck operator as he seemed very experienced and patient as well.

Right?! 😂😂
Those extensions worked awsome !
Yes they did!
Nice to have help. Thank you and have a great week.
Thanks, you too!
All that sweat paid off in no leaks or blow outs!! Thanks to all your helpers and last minute inspectors for a successful pour!!👍🇺🇸
You got that right!

I LOVED the “Elephant Eye View” of that pour! 🤣❤️
Awesome
Nice to see all the visitors and crew, brilliant job Matt.

Excellent pour, Your set up was bang on the money, Great job and thanks for sharing.
Thank you
Grew up in a home with 12' high walls - this will be a great space. Pour went well and the plan - all secure with DP approval.
I agree! Thank you
Satisfying view, satisfying pour ! Even the long time concrete guys are coming around to the MST. Dustin was hilarious !
Glad you enjoyed it. Yes they are! Yes he was
It was nice to see DP & MBS, plus it was good to see you at the save the house job also. The Castle is coming along nicely although you still have a lot of work still to go, but it’s great to see the progress.
Thank yiu
Matt everyday you’re getting closer! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

Agreed 😂😂🤪
Awesome job guys Matt you make it look so easy more please.
Thanks! Will do!
Big deal Matt well done great watch great to see Dustin MBTS DP great buds t I think that was you Dad also 👍👋🇨🇦
Yes it was thank you
I didn’t see a vibrator either. An absolute must on high pours.
Yeah I never understood why these guys don't vibrate their concrete. Unless your using a super plasticizer admixture then your asking for voids
Vibrated the whole pour
👍👍👍💙💛❤MATT, imi pare bine ca toata lumea te sprijina cel putin spiritual in constructia aditionala castelului. Un video reusit si ma bucur ca ai finalizat inca un punct foarte important .👍
Thank you
Looks great.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Nice Vid!

Awesome, looking good 👍🏻
Thanks 👍

Thanks

Thank you kindly!

Thank you very much! Spot on
DP and MBTS cleared out when the going LOOKED like it was going to get tough .... BUT then that looked just TOO EASY!
They sure did! 😂
You forgot to mention Dirt, and that's why they bugged out. All coming together nicely 👌
Thank you
Dang Matt y’all made that look easy. I’m pretty sure it was a heck of lot of work though. Great job guys.
Yes it was
Good job!
Thanks!
Great pour.
Thanks
Good morning sunshine! Looks like you had some good help! Much love from Henderson Ga
Good morning!

It’s the next floor that I am waiting for….curious to see what happens.
ICF baby

Thank you kindly!
Good morning matt an dad u got a lovely view their
Hey hey
Good job Matt and guys

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
😎😎
Glad things went well, wish I could have been there for the second pour, nice of DP to stop and double check things out.
Thank you!
Nice!!!!
Thanks!
That wall looked like it might have been about .50 thousands of an inch off😅 just kidding looked outstanding glad it's working out for you and thanks for sharing
Close!😂😂
when you have a great team, you could not ask for anything better. Congrats on the pour.
You got that right!

I vibrated the entire poir
Exactly!!!
Watching your videos in the mornings make my day when there is 80 proof near.i can insure that
😂😂 you are welcome
Don't you need a vibrator to make sure the concrete gets all the way down?
Very good 👍 👏
Thank you very much
Matt it was good to see DP and his 4 ft walking ego with a mouth show up!😂😂😂😂. To bad you did not put Aaron to work, but again it would made some work raising the walk board 2 feet higher, so Aaron could see in the form.😂😂😂
You guys are a great team. So what happen to captain demolition, I see DP equipment is not getting torn up.😂😂😂
So true 😂😂😂 wasn’t raising those boards again 🤪.
One day (don't hold your breath though!!) DP and Small Man will stay and actually HELP you. Don't fall off your chair laughing either Matty. hahahaha
The pour went well and you only had small adjustments to do after the pour; well done mate. :)
Helping Capt with the YT yatch emptied DP's reserves 😅
Well said!😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
hello matt it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks matt friends randy
Hey hey
I didnt see a vibrator if there is a void you will not see it. The mix looked wet enough to flow. Does ICF have recommendations on this.
We did vibrate!
Did you need to vibrate the pour? If not why? Remember please I’m the overnight field tech who only gets to watch. I’m learning a lot from you. Thanks and hi from Texas
I did vibrate the entire pour. Used a wall vibrator not a penetrator
Thats what i thought too, about the bottom of the door! Great minds think alike
Thanks
It went very well
Agreed
Beauty morning!! Pour day!! ya!! Full Steam Ahead!! Brother!!Cheers!;-)!! AAAA Riffed raffed!!.. they appear!lol .lov it!! ;-)!
Exactly
Congrats
Thanks
A special thanks to your parents NYAM for coming out in the heat to help you wiyth this project!
So true!!!
Great job. My first thought when you put those braces up was that those walkboards seemed pretty close to the wall, but since I wasn't the one walking on them, I let it go.
Yeah I'm guilty of that too. I was meaning to suggest he put two wide instead of one.
I know right
Thanks
Matt, DP is just there to hold the walls up when pouring concrete! Lol.
Exactly 😂😂
I was just typing to reinforce that door lower than Mike showed up😮😮 1' 3' 5' than every two for from there concert like water has a need to find the weak spot and push 30 yrs of experience here, nya
Thank you!
I've watched too many ICF videos. Starting to understand how it works.
Good deal !
Nice
Thanks
Nice job so far... bur filming wise, maybe put the camera on the surface of the moon next time...😂
I will try. Will text Neil 😂😂
Good morning from NZ land.
Morning!
Why no porthole window in the stairwell? Safety if the lights go out.
No need
Curious. I did not see a concrete vibrator in the time lapse. Did I miss it?
Vibrated the whole pour
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼
Right on!
The moment you've all been waiting for...
Exactly
