Hi Mike I always enjoy seeing you do this iCF totally new to me. I appreciate all the explanations ! Dirt perfect really does it all 👍😀 thanks for sharing Buddy .stay safe . 🇨🇦 Craig
Thanks Craig appreciate the feedback and kind words
Mike who ever the homeowner got to dig that basement they did a nice job you should have them did you’re next one. 👍🏻Thanks for sharing
Glad you broke down the reason for rebar on the inside edge only at the end. Made much more sense there. Thanks!
👍
I appreciate you teaching as you go. Knew it was going to be a solid job as soon as you explained rebar needs to go on the tension side of the wall.
Mike,
I watch all you videos, and especially look forward to an ICF pour. This particular video I liked the walk around, step by step explanation of each step.
I can see that you pretty much have a well oiled machine (crew), and that shows in that (and I apologize, I can't remember the gentleman's name) you have coverage for you to be away over the weekend.
There is always a back story to work like you do, and I like the insight into those stories. I love the comic relief regarding you being gone and "the real crew" covering for you over the weekend.
Thank you, sir keep the great videos coming...
Thanks Greg and will try to cover more if that
Dirt Perfect yeah, I guess I am a "geek" on that kinda stuff...
Great video! Thanks for taking me along and giving me some insight as to how those walls go together.
Thanks for watching
Great pour day, what with the wind and rain and all, what a challenge, the pump truck operator was spot on with the placement of the hose. I wish the owners would have continued the wall all the wall up to the roofline for maximum thermal efficiency. My little 2000 sq. ft. home only used $172 for the year (2019) for total HVAC energy cost, at least that what it says on the wall thermostat thinggy. I also spray foamed the attic with 2# density on the backside of the roof deck. I have kept a chocolate Easter Bunny for the past few years in the attic for laughs. I like the way you guys do the slab pour last, with my house project it was slab first then we set the block up 10' and added a bathroom / ICF safe room complete with steel door and then poured concrete and No blow-outs.
Was it just me or was that "SlingBlade" who was running the catch-up shift on that Saturday. Great Job, you guys look like you have fun working together, good team.
Great video, and thanks for the steel rio positioning it does make sense when the wall is holding back dirt👍
You have a good crew there! These walls seam to be getting better with every one you put up! I always love hearing your explanation of how and why you do thing's. Thanks for sharing this great video with us!
Thanks and yes I do
@@DirtPerfect do you need the Nudura plastic wrap on the outside?
Great video. I am 2 to 3 years from my 1st icf foundation thanks for the help
Glad you explained how pumper truck worked. I’ve always wondered how it kept a steady flow. Now I know.
👍😁
Yeah that was great
17:30 - I forgot my vibrator.... had a good laugh, never had that problem. Thanks for the great video..
Good job showing "how to" on this product. We are ready to do our first (We have system built many before) but this is helpful.
It’s nice to see that even in this video from three years ago, good ol MBTS was the straw that stirs the drink. Good job guys!
That "22 minutes over" part almost killed me. I'm in tears here in NC.
Awesome video . A very informative demonstration of the capabilities of this product. Thank you
Thanks
Nice job Mike and great explanation of your procedure. 5 stars buddy!
Work safe, stay warm, see ya on the next 1
Doug@ the "ranch"
Thanks buddy
Nicely done and very well explained Mike! And look all thumbs up!!
Thanks buddy
Thank you Mike for the info on wall lean. My walls will be 7 courses of nudura or 10-1/2 foot .
Thanks really helpful gives me a little confidence to look into ICF construction for a remodel
Awesome
Great job. Very good explanation on rebar. I agree, placement is probably the most important part. Like to see guys do quality jobs. Cheers🍻.
Thanks buddy
Im from northern indiana and wish yall were closer... seems like you do good work
Awesome video. You guys make ICF crews look good 👍 keep up the good work.
Thanks
That was a great cameo by Aaron......he needs to more “whats REALLY going on” at the job site 😂😂
Lol don’t worry more of him to come
I worked construction 30 plus years. I enjoyed the whole video, but especially, "THE MAN BEHIND THE SCENES "
😂😂😂
Thanks
Checking things with the eyes 👀 is definitely an important step. Looks good fellas.
Yes it is and thanks
I saw a guy working in a T-shirt once, seems like forever ago. In my neighborhood this time of year we have hard water, like you can stack it up and kids hide behind it and call it a fort... I really like ICF builds. There are just so many things that can't be matched with other conventional systems. I have used another brand of ICF and I have been happy with them. They are all very similar from what I have seen. I pretty much went with the most accessible product in my area. I heard about another system that is vertical blocks. Haven't seen it. Seems like it might be harder to keep walls straight. I like the 8 inch pattern in NUDURA since the studs come out right for typical framing however the 6 inch pattern puts more studs in the wall and ladies know what that means....more pictures and whatever else to hang on the wall!!!!
Lol 😂
Foundations are also important in tension strength when we have heavy winds that cause uplift. That is why we install anchor bolts, good video👍
Would love to see the customers building plans. Would be cool to see what they have in mind to build
Okay, Brother. Ya set the hook and reeled me in. I subscribed. I enjoy the heck out of your videos. Keep up the great work!
Thanks and welcome to the channel
You guys are good. Thanks
I really like the rack for the form work bracing. Simple fast and keeps all the pieces in one spot.
Yes built that a few years ago works great
Appreciate the video, this is gonna save me a lot of framing.
Awesome thanks
Don't lie you didn't forget your vibrator. You just ran the battery out last night. Lol God bless
A friend of mine in Kentucky owns a concrete pumping service and had to build a cage of 3/4 ,1 , 1 1/2 inch rebar for a 150 foot tall free standing antenna,16 feet cubed 151 cubic yards of concrete .There were 3 mounting studs at 3 inches thick welded as one piece with the cage,it was called the bird cage affectionately.
Good explanation of the rebar location in the form.
I agree
excellent video, you guys are a relatable crew! looks like yas have a good time.
Thanks
Great information thanks.
Well well well I new lol ahhhh that my friend was great I'm laughing my beehive off that's awesome very talented video thumbs up Dirty and thanks for finally telling the truth lol
Lol thanks
Great video first time I’ve seen the foam wall. I only did one basement when I worked for my dad’s construction company, similar method but we used sheets of plywood. I am curious how this compares to a block wall in both durability and cost. Thinking about doing this to a future house I’m going to build
Crew and the wall are looking good! Wish you guys were around my area.
Thanks
Such a clean build.. Clean work space. I like the forms that you used.. I'm going to be building my own this time next year.. I'm learning a lot from you guys..
I think this is the best icf video that I've seen so far..
Thanks and awesome we love icf
I like using the 2x4's on top like that too. It helps and is a cheap insurance. We never did with reward walls. We also have started to use fiberglass rods to vs. steel.
Yes and we can’t get them in are area
Will be building ICF soon (Fox Blocks). Built a few stick frame houses in my day, and want to make maybe my last the best. Not an expert but all of the comments you made regarding the vibration issues make a lot of sense to me. Some of the information on concrete I've gained through research leads me to think the plant can add plasticizers to the mix to make the concrete flow better and consolidate without much vibration. If you have specific information on the particular mix you commonly use, that may be helpful to all of us out here who are learning. One brief subject to keep you thinkin' would be "Why not add a waterproofing admixture to the footings, basement walls, and slab"? I know it's a little more expense, but wouldn't that solve a lot of water issues wicking through the concrete? Great job, by the way. Your crew are good men and have fun while working. That sure makes the day go by a lot faster when you enjoy what you do for a living.
Yes ans don’t know what’s in it but our plant does have a mix just for that reason and Icf only
Another Perfect pour, great job!
Thanks buddy
Dirt Perfect I sent you a message on Facebook messenger when you get time.
Ok will check
Great video with explanations 👍
Thanks
Another great video! Thank you....
Thanks Thomas
great work mike and the team
Thanks Greg
GREAT video of all the work done thank you and subbed.
Thanks appreciate that
@@DirtPerfect Thank you your videos are helping I am looking at using ICF blocks in the future for a shooting range building and also a basement under a log home. Funny I also know of Mr Logger Wade small world sometimes !
Informative and entertaining as always
Thanks
Thanks Mike
Thanks for watching
Awesome work! Cool to see the whole process.
Thanks
Good video , you are professionals
Educational. Thanks. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks
Great video Sir!
Thanks
EXCELLENT video! We hope to build a cottage in TN in the very near future - and this video is EXACTLY what I needed to see to decide if we can have a basement. Thank you so much! PS - Is there a follow up video to see how the inside walls were done? We think 2x4 framing would be good for the inside. Thanks.
Thanks and no unfortunately not on this job is one on a another job later
I'm never gonna pour a basement wall but I sure know a,lot more about it than I did just a little bit ago ,you do a good job explaining things that us laymen find interesting !!! The thing I think that makes your channel interesting and your bussiness successful is the people that you surround yourself with , it makes work a lot more fun and in turn makes good quality outcomes !! Kleeman ,Aaron , Wade , is it in the water around there ??? Whatever don't change a thing , and thanks for the video !!
Lol lee not for sure just lucky to know some great people
So that's how you end your day. Then we notice when you come back the work is done. Thanks for revealing the truth Aron. Lol God bless
Nice job there Mike! :-)
Thanks Chris
Thanks for the videos, do you know of any current companies that make an external vibrator similar to yours? Holdfast technologies no longer carries them
👍 Really nice Mike!
Thanks
Looks good Mike!
Thanks
Wish we have someone like you in San Francisco Bay Area. ICF isn’t known out here.
I’ve been watching a lot of videos like this as I will be building a new home soon. This video easily surpassed the others with detailed descriptions and useful information. Great video. Keep up the good content.
Cheers from Montréal.
Thanks appreciate that
Love your videos, can't believe you only have 25k subs!
Thanks appreciate that
I love this !!!
Thanks
Great video buddy! Nice explanation! I’m talking to a builder about pouring an ICF basement you may have another in Joplin 😁
Awesome
A Fine Project
Had you lined your mushroom cap form with V stripping in the outside corners top and bottom and vertically. you could have achieved a nicer edge with less chance of the edge chipping off. Just a thought. I have watched a few of your videos and enjoy each one. Thanks
I need more videos like this! :)
There is more on the channel
+1. .. Gotta luv the ICF build technology. .. Have ya viewed the "bag system" footer foundation/ICE wall composition?
Yes and yes
New subscriber from Davenport Iowa 👍🖐
Awesome welcome
Nice I like the forms for the wall what's a estimate cost? I'm interested in getting one built with a similar concept. Is it possible to have you build it or get your expertise on the build?
i was wondering how the mud was going to get around the rebar so close to the foam but ur apparently using 789 stone instead of a standard mix.pumps are the easiest way of unloading for a driver behind a tele belt
Thank you so much! Some of the most ordered installation I have ever watched. Would you use ICF to build home in South Florida? I really want to, but for some reason, most builders use CMU blocks.
Thanks and yes I would for sure
That looks so easy, beats laying 12" block basements like i had to! lol Great job
Yes it does
Am from india
Can i utilize this tecqnology? How?
@@raanasathish882 search for an ICF builder in India
@@DirtPerfect Can I ask what a job like that cost with this new tech? This type of concrete wall construction doesn't exist here in west texas.
I’m a recent viewer and had no idea you guys did concrete work. Very impressive. Are there no limits to your skills! 😂 I have no choice but to keep watching? 👍
Thanks
Nice video. Thanks
Thanks
Great pour, pump operator looked solid.
Yup he has a good one thanks buddy
Good thing Aaron was there to get the job done
Nice video. I’ve always been interested in concrete work and poured walls. Never had a chance to do any of it though. Fun and interesting watching and seeing the process explained. Are you going to get to do any of the finish grade work and backfilling at this one?
Thanks and no was just hired to do the walls on this one
Excelent work
sure is easier than the old Simplex forms, unload set red & green set up putting in the ties , pour, take down load back on truck.
Awesome work! this is one of the better ICF videos. I’m up in Maine doing a fire station right now out of ICF. The company I work for has never done a building out of this product, also I’m the youngest superintendent in the company. Sounds like a recipe for disaster I know lol but it’s been great to work with so far. It’s a 20’ tall building (All ICF for the walls) with wood trusses for the roof. We did our first “big pour” Tuesday (6 rows of block). And now we’re working on the next 6 rows. Any advice would be great!
It’s a awesome product
I work concrete for 18 years then I built my own house and I built my basement out of Styrofoam it was called conform they look a lot like the ones you guys are using I did it myself we used clear tape and glue to put the walls together. The mix we used to fill the walls was called grout we would poor 8 in at a time and then start all over again so that we would not have any blowouts. The problem with that is you have to watch out for cold joints. The company told me to use ice and snow Roofing to put on the walls it just sticks write on the walls it looks good but doesn't work worth a crap. While the ground was settling around the outside of the foundation it pulled the snow and ice Roofing down with it. Which lets water get between the roofing roll and the styrofoam. Do not use it! Use a Basement foundation tar that is styrofoam friendly. Also make sure you put in a lower and upper tile drain all around the foundation. My basement walls are so tight now I have to use a dehumidifier in the basement in the summertime. When it was all said and done counting concrete styrofoam OSB and drywall my basement walls ended up being 14 and 1/2 in thick. And then I frame the house in on top of it all in 2x6. I called my local electric company to see if they want to do a story on energy-saving basements by using styrofoam they didn't want nothing to do with it. Would I do it again yes
Love your vids and have watched a bunch. I haven’t seen an explanation of the 2x4 around the outer perimeter few in down from top. Is that to avoid blow-outs or stop spillage? Is it secured to wall in any way? Also, I haven’t finished this video yet, but never see a second/third level (1 &2 floor poured. Do you do any of those? Do they require vertical rebar between cold joints? Last q- does every row get rebar and multiple in each section or just top?
Thanks keeps wall straight between braces
Try using spray adhesive to glue headliner back up on truck can liner
can you give more details on your "stiff back strapping"? Like how far from the top, attachment points, why and any other reasons and how to do it? Thanks
Have several other videos check them out
Great video
Thanks
Wish more Contractors were as meticulous and take as much pride in your job as you did on this job!
Thanks
excellent video
Thanks
Looks awesome Matt. Question is what made you give up home construction for what you do today. Seems like you were very good at pouring concrete as well as doing the grading. You definitely do a great job with both. But with the hustle of dealing with everything building a house today I can understand why you quit.
good overview video!
Thanks
That's a awesome setup for basements. Look at your timelapse, if you could get crackheads to accomplish things as fast as they move shotup. That's how fast your crew would be in real time 🤣 Great video see you next time
Lol 😂
Wish I had ICF when I built my house! Putting up standard forms and only to have to take them down and then no R value. Question: is the builder required by code to put a fire barrier on the foam? If yes, is it 15 minutes or 1 hour? Wonderful product, great video!
Here it depends on the county
Nice job Mike. Can you backfill right away with ICF or do you need the floor system installed beforehand for bracing?
Floor system is a good idea first
Two questions: #1 are those blocks designated for a specific spot in the wall by the manufacturer or do you have to cut and fit them, #2 what slump is the concrete when you use a pump truck? Job looked good.
We cut to fit and a 5
Nice job. Can't believe how high you can go with your wall for core fill. Aussie regs allow 1.8metres maximum and that's using besser (cinder) block and still get the odd blow out. Also, what mPa rating do you use for your core fill mix?
Thanks
Hi there, thanks for your video, and I have some questions to ask.
1) what spacing are your starter bars?
2) Also, is that the same system if it's a two story house on steel work? Vertical and horizontal?
Thanks in advance.
Depends on code in your area and yes
Would like to see full house done with ICF/nudura, basement on up. Would that change anything for y'all when you pour the basement?
Look back any some of my old videos there is one
It does , you don't top off the top of the walls and you put in your anchors for the floor system, etc.
