A couple of years ago you made a video, It's not rocket sceince, it's floor heat. Watched the video three or four times. Took you at face value. Our new shop has a great floor heat system. 50 X 50' and toasty warm in the midwest winter. Very happy I saw that video. Pex rollout was not as easy as you make it look.
Gary thanks for letting me know that you used the video and sharing the results you had. These types of comments are what keep me doing RUclips videos. I like to help you guys and gals as much as I can. Thanks again 😊
I've been watching vids on installing in-floor heating for a future home in Tennessee (I'm near Syracuse, NY now). I watched enough to decide against the in-floor, due to price and complication. Then some of your vids came up and in-floor heating is back on the table again! Thank you for sharing the info on your channel; it's very much appreciated. New Sub here!
@@bondobuilt386 I've watched you manage your crew, lay blocks, plan around problems that come up, etc. What you do is as much a craft as it is hard work. I really appreciate the effort you make to share your expertise on RUclips. Many, many thanks!!
Greetings and a Happy New Year from the UK. Great to see you back again with a great video. Nice to see how you do things on the other side of the pond, you would hate our building Regulations here in the UK. Keep up the good work Bondo..!!
It's been awhile since u put a video out and glad to see ur doing ok and ur son nice to see the video and be safe and always be careful doing what y'all do each and every day buddy
Thanks Andrew. We are doing well I just took a break from concrete and RUclips. Went hunting in Misouri and stayed out there a month. LOL. I love being my own boss. LOL
@@bondobuilt386 Yes, sir. But we can dream... ;-) Always impressed with the way your people work together, when a problem comes up it's solved and fascinated by all the little tricks and tips you have related to forming and finishing. I appreciate your posts. Very helpful.
All good nice job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻I use to do all that when I was younger and had both my sticks to walk around on but now I’m 62 and not doing nothing like that anymore it is hard work u make it look easy but I know different it will make a old man out of ya if u don’t work smarter lol
Not many guys running a 4 ton excavator on construction sites but I’ve always felt they really aren’t much slower than a 6 ton machine. An svl90 can pick up a bigger pallet for sure but loose material like dirt and gravel who cares. I guess if you have a really long run a 6 ton will save time but that svl65 is nice and will get the job done and fit a lot better on small sites.
Say fella, I wish you were closer to me to be able to do my 40x80 floor I plan on tackling this summer, but seein' as how you're not, could you maybe do a vidie on the things we should be asking our contractors for when we go to do one of these? Mix we ask for? Fiber(what type?) Slump to specify? To re-bar or not? How thick for what purposes? How to know if we're getting what we ask for from our contractor, etc, etc? Anything I'm missing?? Thanks for the education!!
Would you sometimes just dig the width of the footing and pour the stemwall (with forms or not) to save the labor of building the block wall and avoid over-excavation? Also why don't you drill only a hole for the piers? Can't drill wide enough for the foot? Always great to see the applied science / artistry of slab finish--even when they're going to cover it up. What gauge is the mesh?
Do you use fiber in the concrete? I noticed no rebar and was wondering if you had done anything else to reinforce it? I am getting ready to do a basement floor with heat.
Yes you want 1/2 on 1foot centers. That will give you the proper BTU per sq foot of space. 3?4 will put out more than you need unless you space it out farther but then you might have a striping effect with the heat.
I followed a few videos from you doing my own in floor heat. Could you do something on boiler plumbing and size. I'm hoping to use a propane boiler and there's not much info on plumbing. Thanks for your videos
No you do not need to worry if you do not pull the tubing up. There will be 4" of concrete over the tubing so use fasteners that will only penetrate. the floor like 2"and mark the drill when you drill the holes for your tap cons. Use fewer fasteners and a bunch of glue to glue the walls to the slab.
Hey Mr So Called Expert 1) why do it cheap The 2 little pads No Vapour Barrier was installed in a cold wet environmental- Bad 2) Why No Dowls were used to keep Slabs aligned 3) To Vibrate the Slab when wet 4) Why No Expansion Joint material was installed 5) Rio mesh left on the Ground - No Chairs 6) Why No Termite management protection was shown Get the school books out.

Thanks. We do a-lot of garages and smaller jobs so I am glad I went with smaller equipment. Easier to move to the job also.
Ron, I have been having Bondo withdrawals. I was worried that something bad happened. I can't imagine the market dried up there.
Hi bud. No I just took a break. Went hunting out west for a month. Vacation from concrete and RUclips.
@@bondobuilt386 A much deserved vacation, now get back to work.
@@royordway9157 LOL 🤣
Why 2 months since you posted a video? Enjoy watching all your videos. The Governor
I just took a break and spent a month out in Misouri hunting. I asked my boss if I could. He's pretty cool. LMAO. 😃
@@bondobuilt386 Nothing wrong with a little time off lol. U have an awesome BOSS 😆 THE GOVERNOR
@@briankemp2362 Thanks bud. LOL
Just a small remark: Why the rebar is just on the top of the vapor barrier without any gap between then?
😃
Great vid! You work in Pennsylvania? I’m preparing my lot for a 32x84 slab.
How deep should the stem wall be?

Thats a good video idea. thanks. You covered a lot of good questions.
Would you sometimes just dig the width of the footing and pour the stemwall (with forms or not) to save the labor of building the block wall and avoid over-excavation? Also why don't you drill only a hole for the piers? Can't drill wide enough for the foot? Always great to see the applied science / artistry of slab finish--even when they're going to cover it up. What gauge is the mesh?
Do you use fiber in the concrete? I noticed no rebar and was wondering if you had done anything else to reinforce it? I am getting ready to do a basement floor with heat.
Yes fiber and there is wire mesh to hold the tubing where we need it.
3/4 or 1/2 pex? Does it make a big difference? Thanks!
Yes you want 1/2 on 1foot centers. That will give you the proper BTU per sq foot of space. 3?4 will put out more than you need unless you space it out farther but then you might have a striping effect with the heat.
Very nice job Bondo Would Consider doing a job in Narrowsburg New York would you travel that far to work
John we usually do not travel we have so much work here local.
@@bondobuilt386 ok I’m in NY
I like your work
@@johnkranz4004 Thanks John
I followed a few videos from you doing my own in floor heat. Could you do something on boiler plumbing and size. I'm hoping to use a propane boiler and there's not much info on plumbing. Thanks for your videos
I would use a 50 gallon propane water heater. The Phoenix light duty is a good one to use.
This is a 50x100 shop 16ft walls and 6 inch slab. Guess I should have mentioned that
@@Mr379cat Better spray foam that bad boy. www.htproducts.com/phoenixwaterheater.html check out these HTP water heaters
Thank you will do
@@Mr379cat 👍
Do I need to avoid interior walls? Could the pex get punctured when they ran set the interior walls into the concrete?
No you do not need to worry if you do not pull the tubing up. There will be 4" of concrete over the tubing so use fasteners that will only penetrate. the floor like 2"and mark the drill when you drill the holes for your tap cons. Use fewer fasteners and a bunch of glue to glue the walls to the slab.
@@bondobuilt386 Roger that! I’ll be installing this weekend, I’ll try to take a few pics.
Good going on the video. And did you get the 2 monsters mounted ? 👍👍
I'm really curious how the vinyl planking works with radiant heat.
Does all that heat make the vinyl soft and gooey?
No not at all. It does not get that hot
Radiant tubing is stapled down to zip tied to wire??
Never seen a snipe like that on how much Crete in the forms
Did you pour this 6 inches thick ?
It was 5-1/2" to 6" thick.
Need to get my guy a hammer drill 😂
Where is our update on the Shepard hut
Ed I have to get back working on that but my girl has me on the winter hunny do list. LOL Complete bathroom. yuck. lol
a million leaves on it now... I counted 671
Good or Bad
Concrete is way to wet, no slump test carried out. Sloppy work, in more ways than one.
Hey Mr So Called Expert
1) why do it cheap
The 2 little pads
No Vapour Barrier was installed in a cold wet environmental- Bad
2) Why
No Dowls were used
to keep Slabs aligned
3) To Vibrate the Slab when wet
4) Why No
Expansion Joint material was installed
5) Rio mesh left on the Ground - No Chairs
6) Why
No Termite management protection was shown
Get the school books out.
