  • After we bought our 100+ year old home, we discovered a troubling crack in our brick foundation. In this video I attempt to remedy the situation by replacing the walls underneath my house.

    found this on Reddit. Excellent. How anyone has so much energy to do this and create a video is a miracle. With the dark humor and metal licks too. Kewl.

    This video is epic. This project is epic. Mujin is a badass new god.
    "I decided a sassy little window would really tie this whole f**ing thing together" had me actually laughing out loud. I'm gonna post the link to this video in a few places to try to get it some more views.
    Keep up the great work, man.

    That 1st cement bag breaking after going down the slide had me in stitches (I feel like the equivalent always happens on every project I touch). This whole video was very well edited. Nice job on the wall too.

    Keep up the good work, and judging by your video making skills, this should be (or maybe already is) your profession! 😅
    And was wondering, is there no insulation in the walls and floors?
    Should improve the comfort of your house a lot if you insulate everything.

    Thanks for the very bad memories ! I did the very exact same thing about 10 years ago in NY - including opening up the hidden space and the dirt floor and outside house (in reality super hard clay to dig through) I think we hired the same home inspector. I took the easy way out - and built all the way up with cinder blocks only. No replacing the bricks. Great video. Thanks for a fun video and bad memories.

  • @jimviau327

    You have my utmost admiration for tackling such humongous work. On the other hand, stuffing a window chassis in a supporting wall is a really bad idea. The chassis is to hold the windows, not the house. With time, the windows will get stuck and slide no more, even worse, possibly cracks. An empty space should have been left on top of the chassis and filled with insulation instead of concrete. Other means should have been implemented to support the top brick layers over the chassis, like a wooden or metal frame. Good job, anyway 🎉

The 20 4x4 and 6x6 posts? The 2 pallets of concrete, or the 6' x 20' freestanding concrete wall I jackhammered out? Dunno...Maybe it was the 30 foot high rock chimney I pulled down and reused as a wall? Or the sump pit , or the new roof...I dunno...I just want to STOP! But now? A 30' x 7' leaning 15° poured councete wall demands fixing. HOW will I die? It sure as shit wont be between a womans thighs....😂
