200 Tons of Gravel Added to the ICF Mansion Basement 

Chris isn't trying to be the boss, just the Director of Operations

Never argue with your expert. Chris takes care of you, and all his customers, like a pro.

Everyone did a great job but I have to say, watching an expert or 2 maneuver those machines the way Chris and Robert did, is a thing of beauty. It's so nice seeing your dream come to fruition, Geoff. What a beautiful house you will have.

Dang Bealy Holy crap! I’ve been religiously watching Chris for several years now. Best heavy machinery operator in the business, and have loved watching this project from pond to house build now, but never knew about your channel 🤷‍♂️ I’m disabled and bedridden so am always looking for content to help with my pain and boredom. Now I got tons of vids to go back and watch. I’m a freaking happy camper 👍😎😁

Just as a spectator, this project is exciting. Can't imagine how much pleasure it would be to be the owners. Nice work.

28:10 is a really great perspective of the build. I’ve been invested in your project since Chris broke ground on the pond. Impressive how far we’ve come and I haven’t dropped a bead of sweat 🤪

Your dream house is slowly coming together. Well done. Chris and Geoff and a cast of many. 👏👏👏

Hello Geoff, the relationship with you and Chris has really become something special! He's a very busy person (Workaholic) and whenever you call, he shows up and even brings friends like Robert a long to do whatever you ask. The stunned look on your face @Ts 20:55 as Mrs. Bealy casually says all your hours of labour make your "project seem smaller" was something awful to witness. I think it was awesome how this video so transformed the project! Great planning man.

Geoff and Chris... best collaboration on RU-vid.

The place is starting to look like a great foundation for your dream home. I'm glad you have so many great friends to help you when you need them.

Waiting LetsDig18 taking a scope of business - never thought he could sit that still so long LOL Lots of gravel moved and good to see Mrs Bealy Good taking care of business.

Muskrat Love by Captain & Tennille, it was played on the radio back when the earth's crust was cooling down. I think I was in high school at the time, can't really remember if it was when I was riding my T-Rex or Velocaraptor at the time. :)

Seeing Chris run a mini-Bobcat was unexpected, but well worth it.

The Racking and Shovel Crew appreciate Chris's skill to reducing the work load. Not normal for what he does.

Love the little dingo. Its so much better than a wheel barrel and shovel. The place is looking so good. Thanks for all the great videos.

Two Hundred Tons of Bealy Good Fun! And a bit of LetsDig18 playfulness. 😁👍 Plus you and the Mrs. dis The Captain & Tennille ... 😁

That palace is going to be amazing

Hey Dr. BG, GREAT video!! Your surgical gravel skills are world class! Every piece of gravel exactly where it should be??!! Love your funny faces after your wife makes a comment...she's a hoot! Wonderful team work by your crew! Even 'bones' did a phenomenal job supervising!! Thumbs up! Stay safe! Jim

This was a great episode. And then, in comes the executive producer, on the set & appearing for an extended scene. We can call it, “the husband and wife discuss the home layout” scene. Fascinating interaction between you two, as you make those all-important walk-throughs. Compelling content showing the steps…

Don't forget to hose down that gravel while compacting. Water acts as lube and helps it pack down further/tighter.

I love that “Scoop of Doom” poking over the wall so often!!

Nice spot for the cam near the top of the post. Great perspective. Nice work with the gravel.

Man it’s absolutely amazing how gravel can change the look, not sure it looks small lol she’s so funny love when she harasses you. Oh i have been living the Chris job practice for 20+ years. Start work at 6 short coffee break and home by 2. I cant wait to see maybe see a time lapse of your build from start to finish. Thanks again for sharing this with us its so very cool to see the whole process.

Sounds like Mrs Bealy Good is going to be going on quite a few shopping trips to fill all the new space you have! Thanks goodness she is the sugar mama. HaHa Looking real good now that the gravel is down. Looking forward to seeing the steel flooring going in. Cheers

Having the video just to show the skidsteers running in the basement would be neat.

Thank goodness for Chris was wearing his correct safety boots, oh my goodness a mini skid steer, 😊😊😊,

Y'all are too funny. Muskrat Love, made popular by Captain & Tennille. I'm still laughing. Chris is Number 1 in rock spreading and tossing with any excavator. Can he even see the area? So may machines working and dancing together. House is taking shape. Have a great week.

Geoff, THIS is why you relay on Chris, cause he is a professional and he can get things done the way you want, and why you call him🙂Looking great, just another step closer to bottom level getting finished, and THEN second level...

Well Back to back fun videos. Chris and BealyGood, happy day! You did make me nervous climbing up that high, ...😅 we do appreciate all your awesome " content " lol great Job Geoff!!! Thanks 😊

Geoff every video shows more getting done! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

Funny how getting the gravel down changed the look of things so much.

I love watching both your project videos and Chris's on the same day. Where did all those young helpers on their phones disappear too? Love seeing the progress!

Obviously, this is yours and I have no business telling you anything, but if it was mine, I’d love to see as much of that steel structure as possible. Great work as always, and proud to see the progress.

Pretty cool to see how the shadows moved in the time lapse

Dam that was one hell of a make work project you should have brought in a all terrain stone singer having to handle that much stone 4 or 5 time is hugly costly glad you have all that free labor. You need to look in to this once you do more icf jobs. Even a conyor piling in would be alot more effective. Other wise it is a great job you are doing and Iam really enjoying learning icf building. 👍

What else is left to say, most impressive geoff

I’m surprised you kats don’t have stone-slinger trucks down there?! One more huge step in the process outta the way. Keep checking those boxes off one-by-one. Thanks for sharing Mr. Bealy Good!

Love seeing the progress.

Your project is better than great. TX for sharing.

I like seeing a tractor on the jobsite. I have a soft spot for tractors.

This Looks Great. My wife asked How You hang pictures on Concrete walls. I tried ti explain that the Foam stay's in place and that there are areas with plastic in the forms that can be screwed to. but, I am hoping you may Cover this in future coverage of your Build. I personally Love this ICF Idea Having pulled and installed my share of Forms for foundation and love the Idea of concrete Floors. and upper stories, having remodeled a couple office buildings. Love the Modular Idea. for ceiling and walls there are exceptions. Black water sewage etc. but Steel framing Is awesome.

The mini machine and Geoff says "is this what We need to buy next " lol No Geoff it's what you need to buy ,and Chris can use it 😅 Mrs Bealy Good noticing that over time things look smaller,she is a treasure indeed. There are new video or film projectors on the market ,no need for the screens on walls ?

The gravel work came out well bro and that little skid steer worked out well too. Safe travels. Ken.

Always nice to see Mrs B in your videos. Cute, charming and witty, always brightens my day. Helps to explain why you always have a smile on your face. Project is shaping up nicely. Thanks for sharing

I saw that! 'Jeff the Drone Operator' has arrived on site! Can you challenge Chris to a drone race round the lake? ;-) Content 🙂 Great manouvere throught the steel at the end 🙂

Hey Geoff, you missed out on a funny video when you said you've got a plan, type in tremors, I've got a plan, that would've been hilarious. 😂

Jeff the work looks great Chris makes it’s looks really good

it looks big to me, definitely shaping up

Nice work guys!

It is skill, right? The boy is definitely one with the machine.

Bet Chris could ice a cake with his touch on the controls.. Bar, TV's, Den, dance poles? Seems sorted, but only if you make it larger? Doh! No comment . I'm ancient enough to have a toy building system in the 60's called 'Baco' that used plastic blocks and metal raids to construct buildings out of, getting flash backs to visits to my Grandparents as a 6/7 yr old on a Sunday in the 60's as Grandfather ran a Model/Toy shop on the side of his TV/Radio business... Oh yes Treason day, someone becomes PM with twice as many people voting against the party, bless first past the post.(Mini rant) 💣🤔🤬 👍🇬🇧

The floor joist system is excellent you will make up time with it. stay away from second floor steel you might twek joist until you pour . When you lean a latter on up right steel the leverage can be unbelievable

Great video Geoff

Great video Geoff stay safe.

"It seems smaller" LOL. That look..

Cut Chris outta this picture! ;-) somebody in your area has got to be running a concrete conveyor truck business- Putzmeister Manufacturer, nothing against Chris's great quality work, but a conveyor would make quick efficient work of that job w minimal labor, ( used often for wall pours and gravel ) you could have your under floor plumbing in place and fill and grade to proper floor base elevation and or backfill any spot. Keep Going! The Boss is gonna be a Happy Camper when yer done!!

Good job, everyone !

The Stepp by the Building from the ICF Mansion. The Ground in the Mansion is with Gravel to fill. Chris come and Work with Excavator and Dozer. Make however s good Work. The next building Stepp can beginning . However a Interesting Video.

Must have saved a lot money with all that gravel just falling from the sky.

Thank you 👍

Missed out on sq foot of house. Looks good really like watching your videos

Looks good Geoff. Mrs Bealy Good was only yawning because she was bored of hearing you talk. Been there before too man. Good luck

Start interviewing for the maid crew and wait staff 😅! I can’t wait for the theater room build 🎥 🍿 Great progress!

The Captain and Tennile sang the song Muskrat Love , maybe other artists sang it as well.

Mr and Mrs Bealy Goods new tiny home!! Haha

Nice video Mr Bealy Good, it's looking good.

Clint from C&C equipment said he would give someone a hell of a deal on that Baumalight mini skid steer he’s had as a demo model.

Ahhhh I see, a water feature too!...probably by Aquascape!

Muskrat love was also sung by the group America.

Looking great. Thanks

Coming together well! Congratulations.

Hey Geoff !!! Hope your family really enjoys what you are building for them !! 🤔🤠😎👍👍👍👍👍

In recognition of the scope and size of this project being akin to the Taj Mahal. I think we should rename Geoff - Shah Jahan.

Will you please make another drone video high above that shows the whole property at one time so I can compare to Google Earth? Thank you. Love your stuff. I hope it all goes well.

Well done nice video.. 😊😊 just 200 tons.. 🙈🙈 a lot of work for the dream… love your little wife smiling…. 😊😊 looking forward to seeing your dreams come true… 💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻

That's what friends do Geoff !! lololol... Think ya got a good plan but, hell no !! let's do it this way !! lolol... ha, ha, ha !! lot of damn gravel went in there, at least the Big skid steer could move a little bit of it around in there. Woooeee !! Man, you know ya gotta keep Mama happy !! Great Video !!

Hi Geoff they make this stuff called Glavel. You use it instead of stone and the insulation board. But it is super expensive. I like how you take advantage of Chris’s experience.

Love the shirt Mrs. BG. 🤣

I hope everyone had an awesome 4th of July. My Bebita Wife Maria and I dud. It was our 21st anniversary. We went to Homestead Florida's NASCAR track for their celebration. Lots of food trucks to choose from and activities. They expanded it double this year. Looks like Geoff's new house modifications was approved by Mamma Boss.

Jeff, with a job that size, I'm surprised you didn't use a stone slinger, you could have avoided moving the stone twice. Goes without saying, still an amazing undertaking and a top notch job with Chris's expertise.

“It’s smaller now!” 😂😂😂😂 It is nice to see what has been explained in these videos!

There has not been a video of you and LD18 that has not entertained me. I would subscribe to a Bealy18 channel 🤣

Enjoyed another video

I saw both of you had uploaded videos of this - you won the coin toss, so get watched first.😁

I didn’t know this was the basement. I thought it was the first floor. 😂

I had to subscribe. This is about to get interesting.

This whole time, I thought this was the 1st floor of the mansion...now I realize it is the basement of a giga-mansion.

🇨🇦👋 Things are picking up! 👏💕

I was going to be disappointed if there wasn’t a shot of the flying dingo. 😂

That is gonna be the most beautiful place in North Carolina.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

It looks smaller 😂 your face 😳 . Great video again 👏👏

Wow, Jeff your better half said the place looks small. 🤣

Geoff, you shouldn't have been surprised when your wife said it seems smaller - she said the same when you had just marked it out with Chris 😁😁😁. That aside, epic progress!

Captain and Tennille - Muskrat love 😂

Good Video Thax 😀😀😀

Wow dude, I just checked your Instagram page and saw that you have all the girders and most if not all of the superfloor on already. You're just steamrolling along now. Once that concrete is poured there is no hurricane or tornado that will even shake that house. It might not even wake you up if one hits at night. You'll sleep through it.

Question for you Geoff.. When did the garage get revised with a crawl space? I must have missed that one. Last I remember was after the footings were in & it was too late for some "cheap space" below the garage. A gay can always use more garage space.. Thanks for the video, keep it up! BTW, loved Ms J's shirt. Were bonus parents too. Nothing better!👍

Poker table area so you can get Chris' money somehow!

Amazing!👍

Chris is the "Site agent nobody asked for" 😅
