Huge project! Well done and meticulous. Learned more from you every time I watch and listen to your presentations. So much to learn, so little time eh!😊💯👍🙏🇨🇦
TBH, I'm watching those trees sway in the breeze while you guys pour. An awesome day man. Love your vids -- they get me feeling like grabbing a come-along again. A lot of fun.
Sooooo, if a tractor/backhoe can go back and forth with concrete in the bucket..... why not just have the ready mix truck drive in and pour directly from the shoot?
Ronnie, with Nudura ICF , if i build walls of my house in ICF right up to the roof trusses ( I am in CNY) and i plan to do a parge , do i need a waterproof membrane behind the fiber mesh that you installed on a previous video ? have you done a full wall to a home right to the roofline ( not just basement or crawl space in ICF ? ) also please drop me your email ? I gotta get you involved in my build, thanks man
I have never done one to the roof line. You do not need the water proof membrane above ground where you plan to parge. we are booked out for another couple of months bud.
@@bondobuilt386 thanks Ron, I am not moving forward with the build for years, i am planning now, gotta start with land clearing and pole barn. you may be retired by the time i finally build lol !!
Two probably silly questions for you Bondo. 1. Would it be less expensive overall for the property owner to go with a poured concrete wall vs concrete block for the garage and porch? 2. For ICF walls, and I KNOW this would be pricey. If you know you have water problems where you are building would it be effective to put a "core" on the top of your foundation pour? By that I mean, say you're using a 6" core ICF, would it make any sense to put a 2"Hx4"W continuous "ridge" integrated in your foundation pour centered on where your ICF blocks will be? That way you would still have 2" of fresh pur when filling the ICF on either side of a 2"h "dam" in the middle of the form, seems to me this should help to mitigate any water infiltration that gets beyond your drain system and waterproofing membrane
Around here concrete blocks are cheaper than a poured wall. If water gets past the perimeter drain it will find a way into the wall. I don't think I quite get your idea but it sounds like a lot of extra work buddy. Good drain to daylight and stone or free draining gravel against the wall and it will be a dry basement.
@@italRotty Not really, at least as far as what I think of as a drip sill. More of a raised up wall or lip for the concrete poured into the ICF wall to lock on to and also to work with any membrane waterproofing to keep water out. I just realized my dimensions were wrong in my OP, the lip would need to be 2"x2" to leave space for a 2" pour on either side when filling the form. I'm pretty sure Bondo is right in he reply, that it would be a waste of time when a good drain system would do it. Something like Form-A-Drain for the foundation pour.
@@michiganengineer8621 i believe you are talking about a key into the footer but ridged up instead of recessed. maybe i am wrong aswell and not understanding either.
@@michiganengineer8621 You could submerge a 2x2 into the footer and take it out after footer dried. this would create a keyway without a bunch of messing around.
@@bondobuilt386 Or skip ahead. Somedays I skip others I enjoy, it just depends on my mood or if I'm trying to sneak in a vid before I have to do something else and need to cut down the vid. Keep the "HEAR COMES THE MUD!" coming.
Peeps don’t get it! . It is a GIANT relief to see the Cement Truck arriving on the job site. I want to hear it, link all of them together.LOL. Beautiful work.
Beautiful work!!! People have no idea how difficult" work" like this" is" unless you have ever tried it. Retired new homebuilder Louisville Kentucky.
Thanks Timothy and I agree bud. Good work is hard and hard work is good. 👍
Getting shown the ropes now and it’s not easy. Worth it but hard work. Rewarding though.

Nice to see you guys care about how it will last. Doing it right. Well done.
Nice block work there Ron. And the new compacter is a beauty. Reverse is killer. Save a ton of time.
Ya thanks it is a nice tool for sure.
quality work guys!
Thanks Russell
Nice work thumbs up and shared.
Ronny… how about a track loader? Keep us updated on this WHOLE project. Thanks. This is a bigun.
Uncle Jim sneak peak I just bought a Kubota on tracks Kevin lol 😂
Wow, big job! Where are you getting all of your fill? On property or gravel yard? Ain't cheap.

good job bondo
Thanks
Surprised you don't use a roller compactor attachment on the mini

I am curious how you would build a house if you win the jackpot ?? Can you do a show on that ?
That seems like an awful lot of material to move.
Is that typical?
What is the average cost per sq ft for an ICF walkout basement? 60x30 house and 40x40 detached garage.
I don't do basements by the square foot. To many variables. Every project has its own challenges
@@bondobuilt386 yeah I understand that, just planning and trying to get a rough idea. Best I can tell it’s gonna run around $85k here in Alabama
👍🎶🎶🎶here comes the mud ✌✌✌
Lots of time moving dirt but somebody has to do it
Is that a walmart?

Here comes the mud T-shirt?
28 minutes and I’m number 16, BUT…. FIRST TO COMMENT!!
I would not fill that in, I would use it for storage.
pretty sick of hearing "Hear comes the mud"
You have a choice to stop watching the videos. or turn the volume off. lol
