    Good morning. Looking really great! Your basement is similar to ours, except the cement was poured in with a long arm. We did not have a cap, as our modular home unit WAS the sub flooring. Its going to go fast now. you must be over the moon! Our newly poured foundations walls and floor still contained a lot of natural moisture when we moved in November 2016. But we had a large airtight wood stove in the center of the basement to help it cure. You view is amazing. We are deep in the woods. A sump pump might be cheap insurance.

    Hi everyone. I follow you religiously. I have learned a lot from all of your videos; from canning, solar, appliances, chickens, construction, all have been informative. I plan on building my own house and follow in your prepper footsteps, but something I see that is a concern is no insulation under the slab. I know you are planning on doing a food storage area here besides the small pantry upstairs. Is this why you went with this option? For a colder basement temperature for food preservation or a root cellar? Again love your channel and keep sharing. A friend from way down south in the heart of Dixie!

Even if you use composting toilets I know you have a well please tell about your plan for addressing those things.

    every area has it's own unique way of doing things. Where we live, sand has to be trucked quite a distance so it's expensive. Crushed rock is abundant and that's what typically is used under slabs here. I put 2" of foam under my basement slab and installed radiant tubing. It's incredibly comfortable paired with the ICF foundation.

    • @neckofthewoods24
      @neckofthewoods24 4 года назад

      What type of crushed rock? I’m worried 57 lime stone will poke through the vapor barrier. I’m thinking 57 round river rock but that won’t pack well. I’ve seen other use 57 limestone, then sand, then vapor, then foam.

    It's great to see your progress during the winter months. It can be difficult. For others watching this video... if you are are going to heat/cool the space in a basement area, pour your slab with at least 2 inches of EPS foam or Rockwool insulation under the poly and concrete. It breaks the thermal bridge, reduces the cost of heating, and the floor will be warmer to your toes year around.

      @@briangroene7756 , any layer above the sand or gravel. Most often I see the 10+ mil poly (vapor barrier) between the insulation and slab with all of the poly seams taped. It's primary function is to keep moisture from the soil layer (gravel or sand) from seeping into the slab and if done right will also keep radon from infiltrating the basement.
