After months of work, prep and weather delays we are finally pouring the elevated concrete porch slabs so we can begin finishing the exterior of the ICF mountain homestead. We took extra care in preparing the form work and filling the voids with spray foam to keep the concrete in place. We are pouring 25 cubic yards of 4000psi pump mix and will need all hands on deck to finish over 1400 square feet of surface in only a few hours. A lot of things could go wrong with a project like this so cross your fingers, bite your lip and let's do this! This porch slab weighs 100,000 pounds! Shout out to Mathis Concrete for supplying us with all the ready mix used in this build.

I did a 4'x4'x4" pad. First and LAST time I ever did concrete. MAJOR Kudos to the men who do concrete! They EARN their pay for SURE!

@Guildbrookfarm 3 года назад

Yeah it sucks as much as mudding and taping drywall, and painting. Lol

@ginjaninja8285 3 года назад

Most of the guys on my mom's side are cement masons and they work HARD!! There's no way I could even be a helper for them, other than making sure they have plenty to drink.

The squeegeeing of the concrete shute with his boots was incredible, talk about caring for your dollar.

I thought so too

@gratituderanch9406 3 года назад

this was good for them to take this job too- great advertising for their work here on the channel too.

@hisimagenme 3 года назад

All the prep makes for one amazing outside step! Too build a house in the mountains and not consider outdoor living space the way you guys have is utterly unthinkable! This is one of my favorite features of this house! That's a Guildbrook view!! Smiles and blessings!

@sovereigns1grace 3 года назад

Outstanding & beautiful! Omg I laughed at your impeccable timing of the music to the guy tripping while carrying the wire grid. And we got to see Jamie, too! The deck looks even bigger now that it's poured. Great living space. Love it! 💕

Can't imagine how much you are going to enjoy that place. So much better, quiet, private, beautiful, and usable than the home you were in when I started watching a few years ago. Keep that place in your family!!!! Love the concrete decks!

@urbanjungle9600 3 года назад

To sit out there on a deck chair on a summers evening with a drink and a view of the mountains will be as close to heaven as it gets. Wishing you guys every happiness when you finally move in and make it your hone.

@sheilam4964 3 года назад

Well? I've seen a few cement jobs in my time. Before any crew shows up there is so many variables that can turn a job into a nightmare. Things beyond yours' and the crews' control. This crew showed they had a lot of experience and knowledge under their belt and also had a couple of tricks up their sleeve (simply because of their knowledge and experience). You lucked out. You got the best crew for the job. They knew what-and-how to solve the problem when the cement truck deliveries started to get too far ahead of the work. That is a very rare talent right there because of the rarity of the job you hired them to do. Did you name the company or the guys that did this incredible job? I apologize, if I missed it. - - - - I spoke too soon (@ 16:16). When I finished the vid I saw and heard the crew's names. That was an awesome finish to your vid.

Your engineering is what made that pour such a success, use of steel and deck plating along with solid supports. Congratulations it went perfectly it truly is a magnificent deck, and house.

@rayfrawley8736 3 года назад

That porch looks nice. I can’t wait to see how it looks finished. I believe you said you were going to do stucco and I think a long time ago if I remember correctly you mentioned putting stone around the pillars. Can’t remember exactly. But either way, I cannot wait to see it done it’s going to look amazing.

@terminalvelocity6398 3 года назад

So glad it worked out like you wanted. What a massive and impressive deck you created. I had my doubts about the forms holding, too. I would have over-engineered them by adding perpendicular bracing staked deeply all around. And it would have been absolutely unnecessary! I suppose that's why we hire professionals, right?

@carolynhiscock9457 3 года назад

They did great work !

@rickswildhorses 3 года назад

So glad you had good weather to make this pour. In know you were sweating it. I was and its not even my place. It looks great! You should be proud of what you accomplished. It was good to see Jamie. We haven't seen her in a while.

@realtor411 3 года назад

But couldn't you use composite materials that would last for their lifetimes for a fraction of the money? What are the big pros of doing a concrete deck? Just curious. Gotta love that view!!!

You realize how difficult it is for normal people to find any information on how to do an elevated concrete deck? When I ask, people look at me like I farted in an elevator with them, then they try to convert me to wood.

@poatjoler Год назад

Because you speak with people that have no clue about compressive/tensil/shear/point load/etc. concepts needed when working with concrete. House building with stick frame/trust is such a simple and revolutionary building technique that now unless you work in commercial/industrial you will never be exposed to that side of structural engineering.

@kellerbenjaminjames Год назад

So freaking true! I'm getting ready to destroy my old rotten deck and this is a real contender for surface material but this is the first channel I've seen addressing a raised concrete platform.

@patrickbellefleur5508 8 месяцев назад

Its not something thats common at all. I framed a house that was a basement, and the owner turned the area that was supposed to be backfilled under the patio into a storm vault. We framed double 2x10 joists at 12" O.C, than placed 2 4'x8' sheets of plywood that the concrete subs prepped and poured over. Instead of prepping over dirt, they pressed over gravel that was placed over the subfloor. The neighbor who was building next door did the same thing, but used metal pans since their span was shorter.

@patrickbellefleur5508 8 месяцев назад

@@poatjoler Its not something thats common lol, this has nothing to do with being exposed to this or that. Out of the hundreds of homes I have walked I have only seen this done twice down in GA. Mind you a structural engineer was not even involved. You can't design something, that their is not a demand to build or engineer lol. Silly logic.
