In this video I show the first part of a foundation, the footers. I show all the steps, how to layout the wall lines, set forms, tie rebar, pour the concrete footers, and we strip forms same day. We are building an addition on a house. I'm going to show you the whole process from start to finish. I hope you learn some things from this video, thanks for watching!!!

Thanks, Mason, for staying brief enough but also providing enough detail. That takes effort and practice, aside from the obvious tradesmanship which is the basis for all of this. Well done.

The way we do footings is to use 1X4's for the cleats attached with duplex nails. We then suspend the rebar by using tie wire wraped around the head of the duplex nail. Rebar should be 2'' from the bottom of the footing and cut spreaders so the steel does not get pushed to the side of the forms when filling with concrete. When the forms are filled untwist the tie wire and submerse it into the concrete. With duplex nails the cleats can easily be removed after the concrete has set firmly making troweling easier. Your corners should be seperate pieces tied to the straight ones that should be terminated 2'' from the form. I hope you learn something from this comment

I see your footer extends a little bit outside of the home at 10:30. I believe my garage's footer is what I dug down to, I'm creating a trench. Is it ok to break up that part of the footer, even a little bit, or is this going to potentially damage the foundation of the garage or the footer under the garage?

@lowellyates6685 Год назад

What is the lowest temp that you place cement? Was the ground frozen when you poured? I had a footer built one time and the mixed the cement with hot water at the plant but it was above freezing. I am building a log cabin with trees off my property. I picked up several important tips.

@masonthemason6412 Год назад

I would pour if it it can get hard before it freezes then cover with blankets at night

We put gravel up to height of footer then put plastic down as a vapor barrier

@jasonleal7967 Год назад

Hi Mason, nice work. We are looking to build a paver patio in which the patio surface will span across a slope in my backyard from grade to 30” above grade, so I’ll need a retaining wall. We live in San Antonio and are on very rocky limestone subsurface. Would you recommend a level footer first and then dry laying the retaining wall or could I wet lay the retaining wall? Thanks for your thoughts.

@kauaicuda 3 года назад

Serious question (I’m not a pro)... why doesn’t the footer section furthest from the house have to be stepped down to be below the frost line ? The only footer I ever poured was 48” below grade for this reason.

@masonthemason6412 3 года назад

I gotcha, that's a good question. You are absolutely right about it needing to step down furthest from house. The home owner is going to fill all the way up to top of porch. It was easier for him to dig it like that. It also made it easier for us to access foundation. Now he can just put a lot of fill in front of porch now.

@masonthemason6412 3 года назад

So even though we laid it on the normal ground height, bringing the fill up to top will put it about 40 in below grade

@kauaicuda 3 года назад

@Lilbuddi1958 2 года назад

Hey Mason, I hope all are well with you. I've got a blunder. I didn't use a transit and got my foundation set in sand 1'x1'. My problem is that my foundation is not level. So I'm having trouble getting my diagonal rectangular measurements to correlate. Off from about 1" on one rectangle and.1 quarter inch on the other rectangle. IveI've got 2 rectangles adjoined as an L shape. First of all, I would like to know what 50' tape measure you are using. I watched the next episode when you guys measure for the diagonals. I can't even find a tape measure that goes to 50' let alone pliable enough to cover the distance without folding. Thank you for the help with your videos and the such. I am relearning what I knew 50 years ago brother.

@masonthemason6412 2 года назад

It’s hard to picture. I usually use a 100 ft tape to find the diagonals. They make lasers that help with getting it squared up too

@davidbruce5377 Год назад

maybe silly question. How did you figure your cross measurements, you hand wrote on the plan?

@SnakeHandler-g7u 5 месяцев назад

How does the concrete not flow out from under the form boards? Just stiff/thicc enough?

@bobwong6963 Год назад

Not trying to hate or anything or sound snotty genuine question. Did you have material compacted under that? Where I’m from for our footings required pea gravel to be compacted underneath to allow for water drainage, mind you with my current job we’re pouring footings for about 125k of weight(shipping containers to be moved) but when we did a garage slab around this same size the drainage grading was still required as per the engineered slab

@masonthemason6412 Год назад

When it’s on virgin ground we don’t have to compact it. At least I’m my area

@richard416913 3 года назад

So this has always interested me. Why do you keep calling them footers? In every instance where you would want to get a strong “foothold”so you don’t fall or slide it’s called getting your “footing”not getting your footer. This is where the premise of why it’s called what it’s called. The “footing”is the base of the foundation to which a wall is constructed and is put in place to gain a strong “foot hold” on the substrate as to not slide or move , creating stability. Therefore, creating a “footing”for which the foundation walls will rest and not move. Always gain your footing to create stability.
