Please tell me, how much does a 500 sq ft walk out basement cost? Including everything + sump.pump? Im not in your state but no one wants to give a straight answer. Theres gotta be a ballpark
41 years a contractor pouring as much as 1,100 yards of concrete in a day. ... impressive attention to detail and the work. You and your crew can be rightfully proud.
Nice idea with that form truck ! We used to haul around 4 footers in a 20ft box truck. Cab n chassis with form racks for the 8 foot forms (Rapid Forms) back in the mid 1980’s.
Good job and final result! But I think that the thickness of the wall does not work fully structural. Rods reinforcement installed in the center, not closer to the slope, where it works better in tension and the entire thickness of the concrete works in compression, because the overturning force will be from the slope.
How do you determine the thickness of the walls to know that it can withstand a hardcore tornado and the debris it throws around? I like what you’re doing but terrified of tornadoes, do I have to ask. Thank you
If you were doing a walkout basement with only two of the sides retaining dirt and the other two sides wood stick framed would do a retaining style wall similar to this instead of a traditional basement wall?
Man! A lot of pockets on that run ? That’s what happened without a vibrator , A lot of work and then no vibrator ?? Back in the day when I was working your ass would have been grass , you really did a nice Job But for got the most important part of the job , when we were pouring the engineer always made us put in key ways on bottom pour .
Nobody ever taught you to pre-straighten your walls prior to pouring? No hard hats either? That's only a matter of time. Hardly professional. More like beginner/novice.
