Thanks.....in the spring I'll be using "form-a-drain" for my lake house footers. All my stem walls for the house 1800qf, front and back porches and two 30x32 garages...2 car garage and a drive thru two boat garage will be in ICF and the entire one story house will be ICF..👍
What a PERFECT weekend! You got your footers poured, you celebrated Thanksgiving, AND the Steelers won! Doesn't get any better than that. Looking good!
Hey Steve, I’m very happy for y’all. I can’t say you look excited that would be an understatement. But it brings back feelings of when I built my first house. Congratulations young man.
Steve, 60 sum yards just like that! Sheesh! Only thing I see different in this pour ( other than the crew doing it) , is yinz'll be writing a check rather than receiving one! Man!, What a journey !
Je ne regret rien.... I've no regrets and there's no turning back now Steve. Every journey starts with a small step (or in this instance "footers"...). The big grin on your face says it all
These guys specialize in foundations. For me to rent all of the forms, the cost difference wasn’t that much to just have them form them haha I’ll be there for the pour tho!
Foundation is wide I'm sure there's good reason for it but I'll tell you right now it makes the block layers work much easier. You pouring in place or you doing a block foundation
Fred is correct. We do flat work. Plus, it would have taken me a lot longer to form and pour. These guys formed the footers and poured them the same day haha
The most cleanest pump truck I have ever seen!
Grafs guys definitely take care of their equipment!

Sounds like you are going to have a beautiful lake house! Thanks for watching!

It was a great weekend! Thank you!
I think you should stamp the footers, makes it a genuine Hause concrete job. 😊
Hahahaha I made a couple jokes about that during the pour hahaha
Wow, that was a lot of concrete. Can't wait to see the foundation and the framing going up. Awesome
Hahaha it went quick! Thank you!

Congratulations young man.
Thank you very much!!
We call them footings in PNW!😊
Hee the rebar for the walls are 16 inches to 2 feet on center. Or to match cmu block walls etc. Love the channel.
Good call on the overbuild concept. Paying now for peace of mind later.😊
Gotta love a good over build!
Congratulations Steve! On step closer!!
Thank you!
Great project, I look forward to seeing this house go up. Now I have to channels to watch from the Hauses.
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoy the content.

That was 2 years in the making haha I couldn’t stop smiling! Thank you!

I don’t ever want to do another addition haha
Quick look busy the boss is on the job. Hey kiddo
Hahahaha yup! You know it!
Why isn't TSH doing the foundation, and footers? Are these guys specialists? Good start on a great project! Bright Blessings!
These guys specialize in foundations. For me to rent all of the forms, the cost difference wasn’t that much to just have them form them haha I’ll be there for the pour tho!
Kids will be kids
That they will!
OMG I just thinking about Eleanor when she came on the screen
She’s certainly a cutie!
@GunpowderandFreedom getting shy
Nice job, Steve! Hope you're out in a tree stand right now. It's gonna be great watching the whole process.
Haha I wish! I had to get some work done today tho!
Check out the footers Cole the corn star poured for a addition he is building 5000 psi with fiber tons of rebar way overkill you gotta see it
Hahaha someone else commented about him. I’ll check it out!
@ I was the guy who made the chairs for your dad and mom I was telling him about it also
@ those are some nice chairs! I saw them last night
Great to see the footers in . 1 question what’s the double footer on the lower section in the rear for ? I’m thinking safe room ?
That’s our front porch. We will have storage under it.
Awesome work, 👍 , just for curiosity how many acres of land do you have there , looks great !!
Thank you! We have 60 acres
Foundation is wide I'm sure there's good reason for it but I'll tell you right now it makes the block layers work much easier. You pouring in place or you doing a block foundation
Poured walls all the way!!!!
@GunpowderandFreedom that's the best Way.
You’ll have to go a long way in your foundation steel to beat Cole the corn star he’s building one right now to check it out
Hahaha I’ll check it out!
Did any of these guys recognize you?
Hahaha I don’t think so.
How much land are you on?
We have 60 acres
👏👏👏👏👏👏🥳🥳🎉
Thank you!
No employee pricing or family discount ?? 🤔
Hahahaha I don’t like asking for that sort of thing haha
@GunpowderandFreedom good on you, I'm the same. Good luck on your build. I'm sure it will be very well built and very nice !
Why did your dads company not pour the footers that is odd you pay someone else to do that job
They do flat work not footings and foundations 🇺🇸✌🏼
Fred is correct. We do flat work. Plus, it would have taken me a lot longer to form and pour. These guys formed the footers and poured them the same day haha
👌✌️🍻🤜👍
Thanks!
