Why would you not have continued your brick ledge into the corner on that course? Would it not have been stronger to carry the ledge all the way around?
Would it be faster to place the internal rebar segment first, then lay the ledge rebar toward the inside of it's groove. Then raise the ledge rebar with your left hand and place the stirrup with the right as you work your way down the form. Then place the ledge rebar in it's groove.
I’m going to show the two methods for doing the corners in a future video. I thought I did show the faster method but I don’t think I recorded it but put a pop-up. Not sure about place in the rebar the way you and some other have suggested. Maybe I’ll try on some other ones to get it recorded. Thanks.
I can really see your reasoning for doing you house yourself with ICF before getting other peoples homes done the same way. There are so many things that just pop up that need solving that you wouldn't think of before. Its great to see you work your way through it.
I have watched a lot of ICF builds, and every build still amazes me. Mike, from Dirt Perfect had a valuable tip, and that was to leave all walls leaning in so ever slightly, because its much easier to push the wall out, than to try and pull it inwards when full of concrete.
I really enjoy watching you work. On that brick ledge try putting the wall rebar in first. Just lay the brick ledge rebar on the brick ledge. Don't place in the slot. Now place all the reinforcement pieces on then slid the brick ledge rebar into the slot.
Add a couple extra sleeves through the walls for either future utility runs, or for on-the-fly changes. Remember you'll also want a hole large enough for the air ducts, assuming you'll be running a forced air heating system. But some means of forcing fresh air into the room would be desired even if not for heating purposes. That enclosed below ground room will be cooler in the summer and will try to attract moisture (mold) if not ventilated well enough.
I’m going to do an ERV system. Extra sleeves for sure. 😊
The step by step process of the ICF build is fascinating - especially as you are explaining it as you go. Excellent work Bealy Good thank you.
Many thanks!
Dog Dog will always have the advantage when comes to climbing from a low spot to higher ground. He has 4 paw drive.
Young buck putting in the work and learning
So kids, what did we learn today... There's the right way, there's the wrong way... and there's the Bealy Good way. It's all about the journey ☺
It is looking like the dirt work was the most reasonably priced part of this building project. It will be a mansion when you are done!
That is is going be a mansion. Can't wait to see it my wife said I can only stay for one month
When I first met you on line during the clearing of your property, I thought you were just a tech guy that could not do much else. Boy you have proven me wrong. You are doing a great job forming up your home with the ICF. You are multi-talented Thanks for your vids.
Ty
It just takes time to get used to this system but you are progressing very nicely now. It takes a lot of patience as well. Greetings from Australia
I’ll actually bow my walls in pre- pour usually 1/2/-3/4 per 30’ wall section. They usually push outwards while pouring , then just turn them out to the string afterwards. Pushing a fresh poured wall out with this bracing systems is easy , pulling it in usually causes problems .
The tool bekt suits you Geoff! You should wear it all the time & make Chris "jealous"! :))
🤣🤣🤣
Great job Jeff!!! Your wife is like mine, always thinking about yaw!!!!
Coming right along, lots of hard work involved but you’re learning and showing us the process as you go. Going to be an amazing home
Thanks for watching!
@@BealyGoodNice work! I have one other method for you… put both pieces of the long rebar in first. Then take the short hook rebar, turn it sideways, put it down into the slot hook first, turn it the correct direction, pull up and pop it into place. 😊
@jasonross5358 thanks for typing this for me LOL
If you have any unglued during pour. Make sure it's to the inside. It's easier to push the wall out with the braces than try and pull in.
After watching your series of these blocks installation, I'd sure go nuts with all the intricate steps. This is certainly not for the faint to accomplish.
I can't wait for the house warming party 28k subs 3k in likes so 3000 guests going to be a hoot cheers
I'm ready to see some concrete poured.
The even faster way is to lay both rebars in, turn the loop on the bent piece sideways, slide the loop on the bent up piece between the outside foam of the brick ledge and the outer rebar, turn the bent piece back around perpendicular to both rebars, and drop it down over the inner rebar.
Doesn’t work. Too tight
Using your second rebar method for the brick ledge, instead lay both horizonal bars in place so you don't have to go back and pull the hooks over the wall piece. Simply hook the brick ledge bar, then lay it on the wall bar. Then snap the horizonal pieces into position.
I did that for the third time but didn’t film 🤣
Hey Dr. BG, Looking forward to the first day you pour! This whole project certainly gives an entirely new meaning to "some assembly required"!! Great update! Thumbs up! Stay safe! Jim
This is a large and amazing build. So many small, important details to keep up with. Glad you're mind is capable. Mine would never be.
Thats going to be so awesome.
Getting closer and closer to the big concrete pour! Thanks for sharing. Cheers
Definitely interesting. I was just thinking Dog Dog should be out there today, and next clip boom there’s Dog Dog. 👍🏻
That's some serious pre-planning and some excellent execution.
Let’s go dalton!
Very exciting! HI to Dog dog and Jackie 1:43
Love seeing the progress.
Gonna be a helluva pour!
Dog Dog is always the boss. Starting to all come together cant wait until u start pouring all that concrete.
Nice progress, can't wait for the next update!
How many times have you called dirt perfect. That dude is a pro at that . I have seen a lot of his videos doing that stuff. I'm from Texas and haven't ever seen it done here
A couple times before we ever got started but none since
That looks like one heck of a good bunker as well! 😊
Looks great 👍🏻🇺🇲
Geoff making progress every video! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Looking Good
Interesting thanks
Yet again, another great video and progress! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for watching 😊
Good afternoon, Thursday, looking good. My friend.NC
Nice progress, Geoff. It has to feel good to see such progress. Hi Jackie, good to see you. Thanks for sharing.
Mr Bealy Good - Sir….. basically it’s all in the preparation!
nice job.i think you also need to seal the common seam with a can of spray foam then your done.
Yes
Nice video Mr Bealy Good. The foundation is coming along nicely. I liked that you showed a little more about the walls how they are put together.
The ole boss dog
Another nice video Geoff.
Nice to see you wearing a tool belt, looking more of the part every day!! 🤣🤣
I have the same belt. Don't you hate the x-ttra straps hanging in the way?
Keep it up & stay safe.
Yes! I have an idea though. Will show it if it works out
Commented on the curved wall video, the screws holding the 2x4 blocking to the footing. Put clear plastic packing tape over the screwheads to protect the screwhead from being clogged with concrete.
👍👍👍
I get so much enjoyment waiting to see what you are going to do next. This was great and a learning experience. Thanks! God Bless.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video
Its looking good
The concrete company is gonna have a good year on this pour. 🙂
Hell of a system Man !! Diggin' it !! I like how all the rebar snaps into place on the forms and all too... Great Video Geoff !! Have a Great Day Man....
Thanks. You too
I like the way you clean up your work area after completing each task.great progress for one man band.looks good.just keep doing what your doing and on to the next. Great video as always.😎😎😎👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Hello Bealy Weird Farm
I may of not been paying attention, but when you first started digging I thought you said this space was a man cave. But a home theater will be really nice to have and is very popular. Once the house is done you could have a Live Stream Movie night. 😂 Skirt the copyright issues by showing one of your own productions. Looking forward to seeing the movie posters, popcorn maker and mini-bar fridge candy counter setup.
The man cave is the second floor. Lol. 😂
I see, a 2nd floor penthouse man cave to look out over your kingdom (well at least the forest in the back anyway)👍 I like the way you think. Have a great weekend!
You work hard, but the Wall from one Room is complete high. You to put together the Continuation for the next period by this great Work have You much to shut. Gladd my of the next Videos.
Enjoying this build! Keep the videos coming. Please tell Dog-Dog I said Woof, Woof.
Thanks! Will do!
I think it would be faster/ easier to put both long rebars in place then the saddle(?) rebar in. The one with the U and L on other end...
Pick up by the L part with L up and U down. Rotate from finished position 90° so L is going with the run of bricks.
Lower down U part to the outside of brick ledger rebar, rotate 90°, raisr back up to hook U over rebar, swing down over inner length of rebar.
You would think so , as have many, but the space between the bar and the form is not enough to do that.
We going to Bealy Good school.
Fun stuff. I am so in awe of how much the average person can do themselves once some engineered outlines are established. The design of the brick ledge was amazing…. I noticed that the sloping of it back towards the ICF wall as it went down. Is that for cost reduction (on concrete), pushing the weight load onto the ICF, or both? Also, the metal hooks caught my attention ….easier to just buy and bend metal for the manufacturer than preforming a fiberglass one or is there another reason? I noticed a wire inside the wall at a common ….all these questions can be addressed in a future video (if that is preferable for you) instead of a reply here cuz I’m watching all of your stuff. You and the crew are doing a great job of putting out quality videos. Like I said, too much fun! 💪
It slopes back so that it tends to push the pressure towards the wall. There’s actually some metal for straightening the wall in the second course and the top course. I’m going to some more details as I get deeper in. Thanks for watching!
@@BealyGood thanks for the reply. That makes sense…looking for to next videos as they are ready.
Why didn't you let us see lunch. It made me hungry again.
Coming along nicely. A lot of work, but assume that traditional concrete wall construction would take as long if not longer and be void of the insulation that you get with the ICF construction. Thanks for sharing.
when you put in those brick edge ties, you should just put in the 2 long green bars, then take your hook end and turn it parallel to the outside bar, slide it down past the outer bar on the outside, turn it 90* and pull it back up, then lay it across the other bar, would be way faster and easier, you should be able to just have a hand full of the tie bars and just drop them in 1 handed as you go, would only take you 1 trip down the wall instead of multiple trips laying things out and then finally putting in place.
Hard to explain without pictures/video but i hope you understand.
The final way I ended up doing it was the fastest way possible. But I don’t think I caught it on video. I basically did what you’re talking about. I had to do it with the bars, not in the foam because the way the brick ledge foam is angled towards the wall. It makes it difficult to make it twist in there.
😎
with all this work you're doing how many holes have you added to your belt 😁,good progress, great video 👍👍👍👍👍
Surprisingly, I’m still fat 🧐
🤔 just a thought. The movie room should have its back higher than the front. 😊 (sound capture compartment) ⬅️ can be done on the 🪰 😂😂😂😂
A regular 7 foot door would be in proportion I think.
You are doing a great job GEOFF keep up the great work and work where is Chris
He is out, breaking up Concrete
Your Brick ledge should be a finished grade and the brick should have weep holes or weep tubes to allow and moister to weep out Just so you know
It will be. This shows how much dirt we have to add 😁
Hey Geoff as long as Dog Dog and the Mrs approve your golden you know that Dog Dog won't be on your side of the bed and you on the couch and there will be food on the table and you not eating at restaurant looking great by the way
Frame it for the eight foot doors. My line of thinking is this... You're already going over the top with the house and pool, so why not? Also, if later on when it comes time to trim the house out if you don't like the height, you are encased with concrete so it wouldn't be difficult to attach a false header to close it up or do a decorative glass header light or transom. You can easily build to close up but it would be more of a pain to cut it open later.
In the theater room why are there two places with a straight vertical seam in the forms. That seems like a weak link in the formwork and will need to be braced on the outside for both ends of the respective walls.
I’ll discuss that in Tuesdays video.
what are you using for expansion joints? How do you work that into the pour?
There are none in the walls. One solid mono pour all the way around.
Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧 Another interesting video, thank you.
Questions:
Why not build from breeze blocks with/without a brick face? I’m sure a good brickie could complete this quite quickly.
For the bracing do you hire it, or have to buy it?
The forms stay in place. So after concrete is added, I have an insulated wall that I can adhere sheetrock directly to. So 3 things completed at once.
I purchased the bracing. They can also be rented. Thanks 😊
Do you put in a chase way for plumbing,electrical,hvac,etc. ?
Yes
How about setting both rebar in place and and come at 90 degrees to the brick ledge past the the loop and turn and put it in place. No need to touching the iron rebar until your ready to set them in place.
I tried that, but it was pretty tight. Maybe I’ll show that on camera and the future video as a lot of people have commented about that. Thanks.
Do you have to do anything for rain that falls into the interior of the blocks?
No
Put a glass door with a custom stained glass transom above at the theater entrance.
Like the look but probably won’t have glass for the theater door.
Are you planing any backup egress in the theatre in case of fire? It's code where we are.
I’ll have another escape route.
Hi Jeff! how much price difference is there between the Nudura and traditional forming? It is looking great! Can't wait to see pour days... Ron...
The Nudura is 3 trades in one (forms, insulation and framing). I’ll do some cost analysis after we get further along. Thanks
Did you make those little rebar brick mold things or do you get them from neudura.
I'm sure I got the spelling wrong
The form comes from Nudura. The bent rebar stirrup was done by CMG. My local rebar supplier. Most of the companies that supply rebar can have them bent to your specs. Nudura provided a cad drawing of the stirrup needed.
Does rebar have to be tied? I've seen the tie wire, not a whole lot of strength
You just tie it so that it doesn’t really move during the concrete pour. It doesn’t have any bearing on the strength of the bar.
Do they not make a corner brick edge form?
No
So the brick ledge stuff you have takes cinder blocks or what. Just asking because the openings are so big. You talk about a strong wall.
The part that is water than the normal form is the part that you stack the bricks on
Hi Geoff. I keep wondering if you bought or hired the braces. I guess that you bought them because you said that you have future projects. I suppose they have a second-hand value eventually.
I purchased them.
Do they not make a brick ledge corner? If not how is that going to work?
I added a response on the pinned comment.
You may have already answered this. But why don't you stagger the seams in the form?
I’ll go over it in the next video.
I am still worried about the joints that are on the theater walls. To me, it just does't seem right to. have these blocks not staggering the joints. Again, I'm new to this ICF construction. I'm only concerned because this could be a fatal flaw that could be in the making. I hope that my concerns are unfounded. Your videos are great.
I got a lot of questions about that so I finally recorded me talking about it. I believe I will have it in Tuesday’s video. Thanks.
Where did you learn this from
There’s a white paper on it from Nudura.
@@BealyGood so you read the directions?
Underground theatre, diving pool, 😮.I am possibly coming over to live with you, 😅,I don't cost much, only watch RUclips and sleep, ok mate, ❤😊.oh my cat wants to come to.
Looks Spensive ...... LetsDig18 can bring his concrete crusher over to fix any mistakes you make.... !!!!
Of course you have green grass on your building site where you didn't plant it. lol
An 8 ft door on a 9ft ceiling does look odd, Ive seen that before.
What year do you think this house will be finished?😂
2026
Looks like another method for installing the loop rebar is to install both log sticks of rebar in. Then take your loop end and stick it in the front at 90 degrees then rotate it 45 degrees and lay it in.
This is a common comment. Not enough space between the bar and the form.
Well I’ve been wrong before.
@@bigchiefwahooit’s a great idea. 😁
Did you buy a rebar tying gun ? The one my company just bought listed over $ 4000.00 . The company we bought it from loaned us a used one for a week. Then we bought for 1/2 price. We will use it for one job and probably never use it again.
Nope. I sent the cad drawing to my local rebar supplier, and they bent them all for me.
@@BealyGood what no tying the rebar ??????
@@lhr1701 I totally read that as saying you asked me if I bought a rebar bending machine
@@BealyGood 🤦🤦🤦
Flea bitten Mut-Mut doesn't get to foreman bark any order with a muzzle on. Hire 67' game warden Dennis Weaver's brick Mason bear 'Lintel Ben' for putting in that movie room door opening. (That takes you back) Brick Ledge Reinforcement Assembly The Non-Braindead Way: Assemble the connector to the fiberglass rerod for the brick ledge, seat brick ledge rerod in clip/slot, flip up connector tipped out over the ledge foam, install/seat wall rerod, flip down connector onto wall rerod, tie off both ends of the connector, Tell everyone you have a faster way.
I'll give you full credit on finally setting me straight about building with ICF. I'd seen others who used what seemed like inferior engineering forming the foam pcs into a coherent solid form (Dirt Nap 'formerly Dirt Perfect' made vids with his various 'neighborhood pals') What you are using makes what he builds wih like using swiss cheese, I see few advantages gained. Now I'm impressed. Being an audiophile of sorts myself, I find it fascinating you burying your theater room. Real subs do wreak their havoc, don't they. Good luck on the rest of the build but I'm not sure you'll even need it considering how smart you've gone about this. Thanx.
