Guess what… it’s FINALLY POUR DAY! We’ve been waiting for this day for years, and we’re shocked at how quickly it came. While we were hoping to have poured a day sooner, we’re still amazed at how quickly we were able to excavate the homesite, do the form work and get the green light on the pour. After this we get to work on our draining, stacking our ICF walls, and before long we’ll be ready for our second pour of the build!

every video I watch I tell myself one day sell everything and do the same you guys look happier than 99% of people

@TheUserid82 7 лет назад

Find some land with a spring higher then the house and it can be both drinking water and cooling.

@julioburgos4979 7 лет назад

Drone1Media I feel the same way. It's the rat race that gets to you. They are truly free.

@Matttchew5 7 лет назад

@TheUserid82 7 лет назад

James H Rings are one of the worst things to have on when you are working with equipment or plants as any injury or allergic reaction can cause the finger it is on to start swelling up. 9 times out of 10 they have to cut the ring to get it off. No reason to look for a ring on a smart person. If they wish to have a ring and not have it at risk they have it on a chain around the neck but that still is a risk of losing it if the chain breaks. On people that work with high voltage they often will not even wear a watch let alone a chunk of metal directly touching skin. Metal workers also are known to not wear them as the heat can transfer to skin faster with a big heat sink.

@brad1231972 7 лет назад

Drone1Media i say the same but with a kid on way that's on hold for now

As a guy who did concrete work for 10 years I have to say you guys did great and I would definitely consider you an asset on a job site.

@timhale501 7 лет назад

I am a retired engineer, contractor, journeyman carpenter. I built mostly in earthquake country, our rebar had to be inspected, No stabbing, and required a 12 in L bend tied to footing rebar.

@cjandauntieyaya1446 7 лет назад

IKR? I feel sorry for these two who are being trained by incompetent contractors.

@MsSomeonenew 7 лет назад

It's almost as if different regions have different requirements... but hey who could really know that.

@klundgren 7 лет назад

I been waiting to see the waste pipe go in, and water lines. Now they have to digg under the fottings? At least in sweden we digg in the pipes/electrical first and then later pour the slabs. Great video! still its amazing what these 2 people are doing.

@MichaelOnines 7 лет назад

Seismic Design Category A, B, and C for residential construction permits stabbing of verticals without 90° hooks. I picked a random spot in Idaho and the seismic design values were SDC B, so that's what they are probably using. For SoCal, Bay Area, and Sierra's (historically seismic zone 4), this is a no-go even for residential construction. For this application the connection is considered a shear-only connection so does not require the same development normally expected.

@andrewburke5815 7 лет назад

As someone who is a code guy, 1). you want to direct the water around your house not under your slab. 2). You don't need two Ufer grounds or check continuity. You only check continuity on manufactured homes and factory built houses that arrive in multiple pieces. So you check continuity in the electrical systems of the front various pieces. 3). If you're going to have conditioned space above your slab you really really really should have included a vapor barrier and capillary break. The dry air created by your air-conditioner will draw tons of water through your slab and destroy any flooring you put on it.

@sdbigguy 7 лет назад

I have to admit that things are becoming more tangible and less ideas. Going from... "the house will sit over there" to concrete in the forms" has got to be an awesome feeling. Once the walls and stuff start to go up will put that light at the end of the tunnel just that much closer. Thank you for sharing!

@DeepSouthHomestead 7 лет назад

Rule no. 1 when pouring concrete is to bump the forms to get rid of any air pockets that might create honey combs which you will see when you take the forms off.

@ncm55449 7 лет назад

AWESOME GUYS!!!!!! GREAT JOB!!!!! CHICK RUNNING EQUIPMENT AND FINISHING CONCRETE.... I'm about to loose my mind!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!! GREAT JOB!!!!!!!

@billexusaf1542 6 лет назад

I've watched quite a few of your videos, and it really made my day to hear you refer to Allyssa as a "Trooper" . I think one of the things I like best in your videos, is the fact that girl jumps right into anything you need done without hesitation. Even operating the heavy equipment.

@etacbro7031 7 лет назад

Some people talk about doing it , others do it..... Well done guys 😎

@TheOlRon 7 лет назад

Now I've seen everything. Thank you very much. I really appreciate this video. It was very considerate of you to post in a mode I can view. I'm trying to get a new computer, but at my age i'm at the bottom of the list. I found a picture of the solar house I built back in the late 70's. I'll try and post it. that's what gran kids are fore. Take care and God Bless.

@kevechevroletcoupee4621 7 лет назад

Just want to say how. Ugh I look forward to these vlogs, awesome job guys!!!!

@kevechevroletcoupee4621 7 лет назад

Not UGH but HOW!!!

@stevesyphax 7 лет назад

Watching you two has given my great joy. A friend of mine wanted to build a log cabin. I told him we could do it. It took us 2 1/2 years. I know what it's like to do each part and the joy you get from doing a job and knowing you did it right. The logs were in a kit, but that made it a lot easier. Keep up the good work!!!

@glendasmith6151 7 лет назад

Ya'll are AMAZING! Thank you so much for letting me join you on your journey. Very much appreciated.

@w1d0wm4k3r420 7 лет назад

I have been in construction for about ten years so still new to it..but it just goes to show you half the ppl in the comments are just dumb because if you passed the inspection and they poured the concrete then your doing a great job... I hate getting on RU-vid and watching you all work so hard then ppl put you down so bad they are just jealous I guess Idk. But you all are doing a great job there is many ways to do stuff in construction just because it's not like someone else does not mean it's not right or going to pass inspection

@kevinrichter5879 7 лет назад

I don't know if they are doing it right or wrong, as for the inspection they are in an area that all that was needed was a plot plan of where the building is going. They have no inspectors or codes they have to follow, there are still places like that in rural parts

@w1d0wm4k3r420 7 лет назад

whuzzzup whatttttt no way so they don't need an inspection for anything where they live like no septic inspection even?

@canamrider7195 7 лет назад

Congratulations. Major milestone accomplished.

@GaryVerderamo 7 лет назад

It's nice to see you guys found a way to put all those rocks (from excavating) to good use. LOL LOL LOL *TWO THUMBS UP*

@MrDirtythumb 7 лет назад

I have cried, cheered and prayed and you two have done it.......your teamwork is amazing!

@leoq2 7 лет назад

Now that went smoothly! Before going to bed last night, writing this at 8 in the morning, I hoped that this video would be up for my breakfast. It was, and it was GREAT. You should be very proud of yourselves. My only regret is that living in Sweden I can't rush over and help you. You two have an amazing relationship that hopefully will help you completing this and many more challenges.

@charlesloveday9208 7 лет назад

Awesome pour guys...everything looked great & neither of Ya'll looked to frazzled. Yeah, ready for a new day...& won't be long until Ur peeling logs. Crank up the sawmill & get to sawing. Can't wait...the fun has only begun.

@proslot11 7 лет назад

What I can see every thing looks very good before your pour . Well you guys a gal did one hell of a good job for your first time you two are hired in my book . Five thumps up .

@brucetreat8860 7 лет назад

In the beginning I didn't think you guys were going to turn out such a good job with the concrete but man you guys did a good job well done well done I am a carpenter I can't wait to see how you guys Handle the framing

@kevinhoppenworth6708 7 лет назад

Who in their right minds would ever hit thumbs down on your hard work is way beyond my understanding

@andrewakrause 7 лет назад

Kevin Hoppenwoth haters... lots of haters...

@carlmichaelbeadle7614 7 лет назад

Trolls/Haters. That's the only way they can get attention. Plain and simple they are losers, who have no desire to succeed.

@MrClarkisgod 7 лет назад

Buncha internet expert who have never even concreted a fence post but are foundation experts.. lol

@toordog1753 7 лет назад

Kevin Hoppenwoth I think the thumbs down is because of the issues they're causing for themselves later on.

@barnmaddo 7 лет назад

47 down, 2624 up. So the internet is 1.8% trolls/haters/nit-pickers. I'm actually surprised there aren't more thumbs downs on youtube, its comment sections are notoriously bad.

@symgardiner 7 лет назад

Fantastic work. Huge thumbs up!

@judithtaylor716 7 лет назад

@kevinh2743 7 лет назад

You two are amazing, doing all this work and still sacrificing yourselves to share this with us. You are working 12-16 hour days and then taking the time to edit and upload, ROCK STARS....

@PeterPutz82 7 лет назад

Oh and amazing job!!!! For a first effort you nailed that!

@john4623 7 лет назад

You guys have accomplished so much as a couple, this concrete pouring is important to the longevity of a physical home, but you both have long since laid the most important foundation….Love and respect for each other. Good job!

@hotdrippyglass 7 лет назад

You folks did a fantastic job of getting ahead of the night mare that this could have been. I am retired military and I am thoroughly impressed. Nicely done!

@SamsLiberty 7 лет назад

Good to see some smiles.

@deanerichardson8930 7 лет назад

Congratulations on the successful pore, and to that fast learner Alisa, I was watching you float those forms and you were excellent.

@jimd4351 7 лет назад

Overall looks fantastic. I can see why your concrete "consultant" said he'd hire you. Well planned and well executed scope of work. Wiggling the vertical rebar is referred to as "wet setting", our structural engineers get all bent out of shape when they see it happen especially on bolts and anchors. It has to do with displacing the aggregate around the embed not corrosion. Rather than using linseed oil or buying specific form release agent, you can use a 50/50 mix of diesel and used motor oil. Keep if off the rebar!!! Floated/trowelled finish was wholly unnecessary. Just screed it off and leave that rough surface so there is a solid bond when you pour the ICF walls on top of it. On our commercial jobs we'll follow up same day and pressure wash the "cream" off to expose aggregate or leave a raked finish to encourage that bond. Some project specs actually require a sandblast step before ICF or masonry starts. HINT: Anytime you have a concrete pour planned. Set up a few small areas where excess mud can be disposed then round up your order by a yard or so. A mud pad just outside the "cabin" or even forms for blocks like you used at the bottom of your driveway. Beats the hell out of running out and waiting for the batch plant to turn that last ready-mix truck around. Time is money!

@johnmyers8488 7 лет назад

Awesome job guys you too are the perfect couple, I'm sorry Lissa been sick are they a little one on the way guys.....keep the videos coming guy luv watching the progress on the cabin thank y'all for sharing..,

@pennyswings 7 лет назад

Well I am so happy for you guys, finally a giant step to the start of the house build. Not to negate the TREMENDOUS amount of work you both have put into all the thing you did to prepare for this day,like the water system and all the other things you have done. I have watched you both work side by side and stand in awe. You are both committed to the project and in spite of some of your frustrations setbacks and disappointments you have kept on keeping on. Big thumbs up and pats on your backs. Boo to all the naysayers, critics and armchair quarterbacks. Just do us all a favor, take some time off, a couple of days at least, while the footing dry and get some rest. Have a celebratory drink and have some fun. You both deserve it! Congratulations!👍🏻

@domeshining5473 7 лет назад

@billfromelma 7 лет назад

Wow, really getting exciting, this is a giant leap forward !

@GeekyGarden 7 лет назад

We had a similar drainage situation when we built a gym at my church a few years ago. We ended up going with a double French drain with one 4 inch pipe on the inside and tow on the outside.. There's enough flow running from it that our neighbor extended the drain pipe onto his property and routed it into a watering trough for his horses.

@corbettboaz 7 лет назад

Congratulations on getting your concrete in. One step closer.

@frankmuller5649 7 лет назад

YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! Your home is taking shape in spite all the nay sayers, experts and jealous people... very well done! Some day, when the worst is finished, I wish you a minute of joy and love for every minute of your hard work... good neighbors and friends... and health, so you might enjoy your little patch of the world for a long long time! All the best... I can't hardly wait to see the start of the timber frame. ;) Thank you!

@davido9200 7 лет назад

In a way it has been entertaining to watch all the drama from all the unexpected events and inexperience. However, I want to say "Hooray and huzzah! Congratulations!" It was only possible because the two of you were willing to work so hard to get here. Yes there is a lot to do but I believe you two will do well. Congratulations again.

@chrisb508 7 лет назад

I've been watching a lot of your videos and I have to say that I was very excited to see that you started pouring concrete today. It seems like we've been waiting for this day to come for quite some time. I'm very happy for you guys.

@robertforshaw 7 лет назад

Looks like a really satisfying end to the work you did to prep

@MylesNicholas 7 лет назад

A concrete vibrating hose snake helps the mix to fill the voids. Just a 2 stroke one will do.

@tomwebber9377 7 лет назад

I am so glad you posted this right away. I've been waiting all day. A meeting literally kept me from checking. It went GREAT! You two, and your friends and professional people are just a like a well oiled machine. So impressive. I'm with Drone1, I just keep marking the days until I can chuck it all and start my own adventure. Thanks for the inspiration.

At least from the video it looks great, and the work went good. I guess all planning ahead helped. Always looking forward for your movies.

@adamandjenniferlinde8334 7 лет назад

awesome prep work and form work... definitely wouldn't worry about a blow out on that. I pour house foundations every day and you have done some nice bar and form work. cheers from Canada

@charliefoxtrotthe3rd335 7 лет назад

I love it! This video just crammed the words of all those trolls right back down their throats! All the armchair quarterbacks who were saying "...you forgot the cleats..." "...you screwed up the forms..." "....that rebar will never work..." and on and on....you guys rocked it. I am so happy for you, and hope those trolls will learn a thing or two. It won't happen, trolls are trolls for a reason. Too thick headed to have an open mind.

@thegunguymartin 7 лет назад

It makes my heart SMILE to see this ... Y'all knocked it out of the park !!! The hardest work will so pay off in the end !!! Way to go you two !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@richardbohlingsr3490 7 лет назад

I hope you got those stakes out of the concrete quickly. Glad to see the pour is down. Not bad for three inexperienced hands. Don't sweat the footers they all get buried. I would use perf drain pipe with a sock for the drain lines. Good job.

@lisaboomsma7673 7 лет назад

I don't know about you, but I just breathed a BIG sigh of relief. Wow!!! This seems like such a monumental step in the process, and I am SO glad it went so smoothly for you! :D
