    Video of setting the house back down would be educational for those thinking of attempting the same thing. Your method of commentary lends itself to be beneficial to those wanting insight into your thought process as you continue forward one step at a time. Nice to get this behind you and that the downpour held off 😊. Looking forward to your next upload.

    also i really wouldn't bother with the floor till last or atleast getting the original house back onto solid foundation that should be the 1st priority aka getting that steel work in on the open end setting the house back down & secured atleast you won't be living on a literal jenga tower.
    also i kinda want to see you do some landscaping after the jenga house is completed that would be interesting!!!

    If you know the PSI formula of the mix from the batch plant you can do some calculations on curing times, but the safest way is to talk to them, as they are the experts on curing times of their batches. Most concrete only reaches it full compressive strength after 28 days of curing in the right conditions. After 7 days, the concrete will have already achieved around 75% of its compressive strength, but that last 25% can be very important, depending on the mix you used and the loads it will have to carry.

    Great to see progress but you should have had someone else vibrating the concrete as you shot it down into the forms. There are gonna be major voids and hollow spots throughout the foundation. Potential weak spots and leaky basement.
