@sammyjimsmith6100 9 месяцев назад

I remember that if any corner is higher than the others, always start laying that corner first. It's easier to fill in under the other corners than trying to remove material from the high one. Very good video.

Not only you talk well, you demo details; not only you demo, you explain things every step of the way; not only you explain things, you edit highlights and capture key numbers. Unlike garbage contents trying to be funny about serious business of DIYers spending their time and money, you selfishly are sharing knowledge to help people. I don’t have a garage to build or am capable of doing so but sir, THANK YOU!

You used the transit for the excavation. Why don't you use it to set the grade all the grade pins??

@williamfox9523 9 месяцев назад

Awesome. The pipe for re-bar bending is just plain cheap and efficient. Why didn't I think to use the same pipe I have in m\y garage! You duh man, Josh!

Your walls above the 8" block are not fully supported due to the transition to 6" block. Either use all 8" block, or, better, add a bonding perimeter beam with rebar at the top of the last 8" course. The latter will add considerable strength to your wall.

@geofreysserunkuuma.1222 10 месяцев назад

Good work sir, appreciated. What’s the name of the software you were using for the calculations? Thanks

@dc-wp8oc 6 месяцев назад

Not a fan of putting steel rebar in concrete as it aids in concrete degradation. So, was surprised that steel rebar was installed to protrude from the bottom of the footer. Not surprised that the "inspector" had no issue with it. These "grade pins" will corrode over time and this corrosion will likely compromise the footer at those points. Your corner rebar placement was incorrect. At the corners you cross the inside to the outside and outside to the inside. Just a point for future builds. Don't feel bad. Many "professional" concrete RU-vidrs don't get it correct and "inspectors" don't have a clue.

@Techpodshed 5 месяцев назад

Dam you made that seem so simple you explained it simple your very knowledgeable who taught you?

@exactly9099 Месяц назад

How would I deal with footings in the arctic northeast? Says the frost line is 60" deep. Do I really have to have the top of my footing below 60" under? That is a lot of foundation needed to build up on top of it.

@user-gx2te1xc2w 10 месяцев назад

And construction work must be paid correctly with monty! Yes yes yes . . .

@richardscarlett7942 5 месяцев назад

can this medthod be used to build a small foot print two story? Say a 40 by 50 or 40 by 60 two story?

@TheExcellentLaborer 4 месяца назад

It would work for a basic two story in my area. Check your local codes to get the building specs for your area if you have questions. I hope that helps!

I'm from d Caribbean n i appreciate d video but i was wondering y not just put up some wooden profiles to run d block rather than having to move d blocks around so much trying to establish d corners?

@themexican7384 Год назад

do you need all that rebar to do a 10x20 porch 2 and a half foot tall

@stephenocampbell174 2 месяца назад

40 times the bar diameter for laps. 1/2 in / #4 bar would be a min. Of 20 inch lap.

@troybengel691 Год назад

I tie the chair to grade pins, to keep from sliding left or right, especially even concrete cones pouring in

@user-ev8ln4ql4r 7 месяцев назад

Things are done differently from when l were building block walls in the 80's. No rebar or metal was allowed to touch the dirt. Were the rebar used to hold the line left sticking into the ground?

@metalrooves3651 4 месяца назад

yes this is really silly...by the time rust has any bad affect, ANY...100 years will have passed!!There is no engineering reason this should have been a standard, probably the reasoning of one man and it caught on,,,,there are many overkill things like this .

@smithbrownjones 7 месяцев назад

I was under the impression that rebar rusts if in contact with the ground....is that not an issue here....?

@TheExcellentLaborer 7 месяцев назад

Often times rebar is embedded in concrete. It is standard practice. They now make a fiberglass rebar that is rustproof. I hope that helps!

@smithbrownjones 7 месяцев назад

@@TheExcellentLaborer No. You miss my point; you whacked rebar into the ground as height guides, and then concreted over them.... thus, you have a piece of rebar every two foot that will expand as it rusts...no...??

@kevinbrisson3116 Год назад

I thought I was being stubborn hanging on to my old transit. You really need to update to a rotary laser. Way faster and I believe to be more accurate.

@TheExcellentLaborer Год назад

I think they are equally as accurate. The rotary laser level is definitely more convenient. I would recommend the rotary laser level over the old transit. Thanks for watching Kevin!

@tredogzs Год назад

I kept my transit forever... but then I broke it so I got a laser! Yeah should have went to the laser long ago.

@MrSrtman18 11 месяцев назад

I need to build up my area where garage is going, like 2-3 feet. Can i do this same foundation layout in sand? How? Any tips?

I did not install that because I will be using the grounding system from the main panel box. I will be doing a video on that later. Stay tuned!

Another excellent video. What did they use for the anchor bolts into the concrete block and the parging?

@TheExcellentLaborer Год назад

Thank you Tyler! The anchor bolts are the galvanized 1/2” x 8“ anchor bolts. The parging is the same mortar mixture the mason used to set the blocks. I believe the ratio they used is a three parts sand one part mortar mix. I hope that helps!

Is it better idea to pour concrete foundation or to use concrete blocks? What is pros/conc except of price? Sorry for bad english

@metalrooves3651 4 месяца назад

quicker to lay blocks for the DIY!! poured walls almost always get hired done at great GREAT cost...l would never build a block basement ,but this will be under a slab...used blocks can b e bought cheap and buried so they arent seen!

@hondacrf8094 Год назад

Great video just a quick question, why do footings not have to have gravel in the trench before they are poured? Thank you.

@metalrooves3651 4 месяца назад

it just makes it easier to grade!!thats all!some guys think it helps drainage ,but WHY WOULD YOU EVER WANT WATER MOVING under a slab? THe same goes for the slab ..rock is easy ,but not needed.

@Nctbgs 8 месяцев назад

When we were doing Masonry work we never once had a builder mark our corners . Going back as far as 1985 I can’t remember a builder ever having our corners all marked out. We had to do all that for the same price. We get the plans or the measurements and have to do it ourselves.

@omnious42 Год назад

@terencemerritt 11 месяцев назад

Chairs hood the rebar up off the bottom and in the middle of the concrete footings. Rebar is for tensil strength

Probably the best ru-vid.comUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU on building a shed is hardly found ever . And Ryan takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.

@louisel.sinniger2057 Год назад

Note: wear safety glasses if concrete is loose cause if you get a splash in the eye you’ll know it! All your instructions are like being in trade school. Thank you

@rjcontra 8 месяцев назад

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm thought you had to have a minimum 21 inches at the splice in the rebar. Looked like you just had around 6 inches

@mr.g937 Год назад

Why use wood frame construction at all? Just make the whole garage a block wall

@TheExcellentLaborer Год назад

I would frame is a more cost efficient way of building. Also, I like the ability to install vinyl siding over the structure and wood makes that easy. Thanks for watching!

@adelinawarriner6259 4 месяца назад

also temperature... wood with insulation is much easier to adjust temps compared to cinder block .... the cinder block is partly why our water froze.. it got cold enough that even 500 watts of heat couldn't keep it area warm enough.
