For me, the ideas in ru-vid.comUgkxAfqpMLyFn37qcqUl0FAzqkkycQeXqrhP Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.
Oh what a shop! That thing is huge. I know you guys would like to get it away from the house. I wasn't thinking this big for some reason. My head has been foggy lately, but I just wasn't thinking of the Alaska winters. Exspecily dark winter. I had a blond moment there... lol.... I can say that bc my hair when I was younger was blonde now it's a dirty blonde color ..... lol... Plus you can build tiny homes in it when the winter is bad. If you want to. Great demo video. If I ever do a big building. I'll remember this video. Thanks, Chris from Missouri
I’m currently redoing a 16 foot wall like this at grade. Thank you for the simplicity. I have used this information the whole time for my build. Thank you.
You guys are really hustling along! Ingenious to put the top board on before the concrete cures. We are also currently building a shop, looking forward to seeing what you guys are doing next. Good luck, best regards from Norway! :)
Happy Mothers Day Ana, And to all the Moms out there ! Please video everything you can with your shop build, it's very interesting and informative. That top plate install was ingenious, never would have thought of doing it that way. Everything looks perfect and Thumbs up from CT !!
Wow! I haven't heard that much from Jacob in the whole series! Nice job explaining and you've got a great voice for this work. It is so endearing to watch you operate heavy equipment and cuddle the baby at the same time. There are three lucky kids!
You do some pretty good work there. Its a pitty your not in my area, I would be calling you to help me drop in a crawl space for my shop. PS, your shop is too big, 1/2 of it should be shipped to me LOL! That sill plate is spot on!
Great. How do you attach the first row down to the footing so the wind is not blowing them while you work? Do you remove those nubs that interlock the blocks before setting on the footing & on the top row for pouring?
Looking great, can’t wait to see the rest of your build. What is the cost comparison to forming up a wall or even using large concrete block? Thanks John 😎👍
Footing is not below frost level and sides are buried footings so perhaps they may be depending on your location and how far frost goes below surface in winter. This could create frost movement in your footing along open side.
If you didn't want any movement at all then deep piles should have been bored and poured under the footings...likely to a depth of 20 to 25 feet! It can get pretty cold that far north.
@@timcoolican459 Depends on the soil. I built a 3200 sqft walkout in 2009 on nothing but a footing (bottom was 10' ICF with windows and patio doors), and that's in Saskatchewan (currently -38C as I type this). Frost level here is 10ft below grade. The soil is jackpine sand that is basically like rock. No heaving or movement at all in 14 years now. On clay...well, I would never build on clay, but if I had to, I'd use screw piles, not concrete. The frost will grab the whole concrete tube and heave it out of the ground, I've seen it. Screw piles are much faster, a lot cheaper, and don't have the heaving issue.
@@karlhungus545 ...I agree that screw piles are a better and more economical way to build, if you can get the equipment onto your build site. I live in Saskatchewan too, having worked construction most of my life. I can say, without a doubt, that you need to go deeper than 10' to beat the frost here. Most concrete and screw piles I have had installed, go to a minimum depth of 20'. In fact, most piling contractors recommend a minimum depth of 15' to 20'. Now, to be fair, I had managed mostly commercial and industrial job sites, before retiring from construction. I was dealing with building massive and heavy foundations, with large structural loads. Having said this, I still wouldn't install a concrete or screw pile, unless it was at least 16' in depth. Now when it comes to large surface areas, like pads, footings are just fine. As long as you have a good base with ample drainage, there should be no problems. Large spread footings are even used, rather than piles, if pile depths cannot be reached, due to rocky soil from glacial till or bedrock. However, if you really don't want any movement whatsoever, piles are still the best way to go. It is the combination of beating the frost, the friction of the pile, and the weight of the pile including the structure on top of it, which ensures this type of stability.
Very interested. I am curious where in the country was this project? I'm interested doing ICF (DIYer) in Florida on a small foundation (for a porch) for practice before doing a garage.
great job putting the 6mil poly under the footing, no one seems to know about water wicking into the footer or keeping the entire bottom of the structure safe from it the inspector here in anchorage didnt even know why i did it until i explained it to him
Great video! Pouring out of the truck worked great, I always thought you needed a pump truck. Ever think about building a footer box and pour footing and wall at the same time?
@@AnaWhiteDIY if you are ever in Anchorage, feel free to look me up. I am currently looking at a gut job on lower hillside. The house is about the same size as your burn out project. I am Kat Raulerson Vallish on Facebook.
shouldn't you put horizontal steel bar inside before concrete???? this isn't a big wall so it's probably ok but I would think some rebar should go inside....
I am always so fascinated by construction, especially how he gets everything level: flooring, various sections of the wall, etc. So cool. That is a very cool product.
Top Plate install!!!! That is so efficient and beautiful. Wow look the bolts are centered! They have not slipped into the concrete! Thank you for showing how you do that. I think I have a list of "But Jacob White did it this way and it just makes more sense so..... Happy Mother's day Ana! Best Mother's Day present was building the couch with our son. We love the couch!! Thank you!
OMG I just learned so so much, i cant tell you how grateful i am for you guys!!I never met a GC who explained things so simplified ...Keep em coming ,cause someday i'm going to thank you guys when i send you a photo of my new home i built..xo..P.S. What size foundation is this?
I absolutely love seeing the children learning at such a young age, that little boy sure looks like his mama and that little girl has such a wide eyes and such interesting what daddy is doing. Good job
What weather proofing did you use? I seen much more complicated, elaborate systems. I've found simple is usually best, if it is effective. What material do you use?
Hey FYi You Put the Bottom Plate in Postion - However with Straight threaded Rod You Should of had an elbow bent at the Bottom to Reduce the uplift Forces - Wind Loads on Walls & Roof - Eg Movement & Cracking No Core flute used for wall & moisture protection What about Drainage Behind your Wall & Gravel eg French drains
