Home Addition - Episode 1 - Foundation

Watch my dad and I (mainly my dad) build the foundation to our 750 ft² home addition. We are also going to rebuild the attached garage which will be 530 ft².
I work full time and am only able to help after work and every 10th working day, which I have off.

Thanks Dave, I'm thinking of doing an addition which is something I have never done before so your videos are super helpful

Sweet man, and so hard working.

Owning around 20ac for the past 10 years has made me believe in a magical tree stump remover called tannerite, not only does it work....it's fun af.

Hope you don't have issues with the foundation separating in the future. Mixing bag by bag probably caused uneven curing.

Excellent video. I'm wondering how you handle the differential settlement risk of the additional basement foundation? I didn't see anything soil preparation beneath the footing - is it ok just to put the footing on the soil directly? I do notice that you laid the gravel - is this how you compacted the soil before you pour the slab concrete? Thank you.

Thank god for your father! Can you help me build an addition

[@annaha1832]

What software did you use to create the design before you submitted it to the architect? Thank you. Also, thank you for sharing this with us. Incredibly grateful.

I love this! Is your uncle a contractor? Does your town have bylaws that allow homeowners to do this work themselves? In my town, almost everything has to be done by a licensed contractor, and trademans.

Just curious if you had to get permits with your city and if so how much that cost?

[@jonnelson6572]

This is almost identical to the addition i want to do. How can i get in contact with you so i can ask you some questions. It is crazy how similar this is. Have you done a cost breakdown?

[@raymondcabreja2309]

What state is that and I did not see what the inspector was before throwing the concrete ?????

[@nickbailey202]

Do you mind if I ask how much architectural drawing cost?

[@annachaconrealtor3824]
