Steel Erection Update: Towering Steel Over Nudura ICF Mansion Build 

Flying steel in, both operators have a lot of experience they look smooth, they know their cranes, it always a joy to watch good operators, no matter the equipment. Structural steel makes it look official, looking great, thanks for the update, this was enjoyable to watch having had experience at setting steel myself.

I can’t even imagine how much planning goes into this. You make it look so easy. Props to you.

So glad to see you are building your foundation cap before backfilling. We had always done that, but got curious if we really needed to or not. Backfilling would get you safe easy access all around, so, maybe? What we did was to plot about 60 data points on the plans around the foundation. Then we proceeded to start backfilling, skid steer, 1' lifts, plate tamp wide areas, jumping jack skinny areas. We filled to a height of 3' out of our 8' total and rechecked our readings. We discovered that we pushed to TOW in about 3/4" in several locations, and 1/2" in most of the rest. We managed to remove some material, push on the walls and get pretty well back to plumb, and luckily not crack anything! From that day forward we always, always, always set our foundation cap 1st, before any backfilling took place. I'd rather inconvenience my carpenters for a few days and put up with their pissin' and moanin' than risk a cracked foundation. Lesson learned. Not sure if this was intentional or happenstance on your part, but either way, you're doing it right. I can already tell the 2nd floor is going to be great, and your roof is going to be EPIC! Thanks for sharing.

Iron workers get center stage and things are moving along nicely. Enjoying the music choices!

Wow, A steel erection video this quick after the walls took me by surprise! 😄 Thanks for taking the time to keep putting these videos out. Lots on your plate!

Heavy metal music would have fit this perfectly. LOL Thanks for sharing the build.

Bealy you are doing a fine job so far I used to build houses like yours thanks for doing it the right way and not cutting corners

That's what I've been waiting for. To see how the steel is connected to the concrete foe the 2nd floor. That steel team works as a team.!

Starting to look like a mansion now awesome work

Thank God RU-vid went Back to its old format....Yea..... Keep up the God work Geoff and team..." Bloody Well Done "

Iron Workers are a special breed. I have been in construction for 50 years and it always amazes me as to their skills.

Coming along nicely Geoff. Hurry up and wait then magically it's being completed like overnight. Happy building and Happy Birthday America.

This is not a house. This is a Hollywood mansion.🤑

Mr Bealy Good - Sir…. hells bells it’s massive - I knew it was going to be a big footprint but good grief you were right you are building a Walmart! The pool party you’re going to have when all is finished is going to be awesome! Take care and stay safe!

looks really good with the gravel in the whole basement.

Bealy, you have come a long way in 4 months and things are looking great. Only in America can one's dreams come true. God Bless to You, Your's, and everyone watching.

It’s looking good Geoff. That 4 board fence out front and down the sides,looks much better than that chainlink did.

I love it when a plan comes together..! Can really start to see it taking shape. Love it !

Happy Independence Day Bealy good family watching part 2 of pour and steel erection. Saw and heard you say TURNER CRANE. My dad worked for Mr. Turner back in the late 40's and early 50's. He drove and operated a crane for them. It was known as TURNER TRANSFER and ERECTION back then. All is really looking good.

Thank you 👍

Great job yet again Geoff. You have accomplished so much in a short time. It's remarkable given you're a dad, husband, pond designer, real estate developer and construction contractor. That is a lot of responsibilities and work.

This is the point that I personally have been waiting for. Finally moving past that initial pour and going upward. Congratulations.

Love the update video’s making good progress,one other thing is unlike so many other RU-vid content providers you put a lot more thought into the music you play keep up the good work 👍

Great job guys. Looking very good.

Started watching the video and Take this job and shove it was playing on Pandora. That's going to be one heck of a strong building.

When I applied for a job in the dairy industry they said they needed someone with a little intelligence and as I had as little as any I got the job. Ya just know when a crane is on site something is happening. Coming along well bro and nice to get a cameo from Chris and Donnie. Safe travels. Ken.

Some nice lighting rods you got there Geoff

🇨🇦👋 This is so familiar. Had to slot in metal beams in when building our house! Had the neighbourhood wondering. 😅

I love hearing Mr Donny.

Great music choices. I just love this project 😊

Very Exciting!!! So happy for you folks…

Making great progress. Nice seeing the steel going up. Really interesting to watch. Happy 4th to you Jackie and the family and a big thanks to all the men & women who served out country so that we can celebrate today.

Dang, that first crane was 10x overkill. But better too big than too little. Probably what was available when you needed it. Great to see the progress. Thanks for sharing

It's gettin' real now, for sure. Wow!

I just Love your drone footage and music! Happy 4th Mr Bealy Good!

Hey Jeff it’s looking great

what a nice and interesting house construction site. a lot of humor and a lot of big, heavy machinery. and not the standard wooden house

This is great watching this all come together with your leadership. Keep the videos coming.

Wow, that was a couple of Bealy Good days! Looking real good. It will really start to look like a home once the floor gets set in. Love the drone shots. Cheers

I realize I am the odd duck. But it seems to me ever since they came out with " Music Videos" years ago. It has now become the norm, everyone is compelled to add music to their videos. I personally am fine with just the video, and the natural background sounds or lack thereof. I do miss your funny ( cloud) captions. House is looking good. I'll bet you are relieved the hardest part is over. Thanks for all your camera work and editing.

Thanks for bringing us along for the journey Geoff! Love seeing how everything is coming together. Trying to picture what the house will look like when it’s done! Love the vids!

Bealy if I lived closer I would come hang out with you guys lol

Looking good!

Steel Beams. now that's Strong. coming along Nice.👍

Definitely not a Wal-Mart but more like a Fortress or a big ass bomb shelter! Lol!! Its sure going to be sturdy and indestructible!! Its looking great Geoff!!! Looking forward to more of your projects with Letsdig18!!!

A real-life erector set! Man, this house is gonna be hella strong! Thanks for sharing Mr. Bealy Good!

Howdy bealy good

When you mentioned ruff on your little feet little shot me back to the early 80 s and a nonslip pool bottom & someone throwing change in for the bear foot kids to dive for . And the fact that chlorine is a pain killer until you get out and jump back in .😅

Why steel, I am lost in the project? :) Last question why is the steel projected out from the building. Cool drone shot of the steel. Thank you sir for sharing this journey.

Good Morning Geoff, wow this really is belting along quick, and Happy Holidays too. Couple of Questions for ya. 1/ Where the heck is the Helipad going too? 2/ Is the Zipline gonna go across the Pond? 3/ I hope you ordered your Front Door Bell with a unique sound/announcement (Bing Bong Walmart Customer service colleague needed at front entrance, Bing Bong). 4/ Where do you hope to have the radar sensors fitted to, so you know when Letsdig18 is on the Prowl? lol. I know this all looks so quick with technology, but just wanted to say thanks, you must be continually shattered, with all the work, editing, other work, negotiations, telephone calls, Emails, where the heck do you find all the time? Great Work Geoff, best wishes to you and your family . . . . . .Chris.

I come for the video and stay for the music.

Yall have a lot of Hurricanes out on the Bealy lake

Well not as big as a walmart but like a min mall 😁. But looking good so far and can not wait to see next vid. Keep up the cool vid's.

Bealy-Mart

Hi Geoff, well with the last couple of pour videos, and now this steel video, I'm starting to see how this is going to come together! It's going to be a really impressive home. You house warming party is gonna be out of this world! Send me a invite please!!! I love to celebrate major projects being finished!

Chris confirmed my thinking. I knew the money in the box was fake.😂😂😂

Thank you for the awesome music and info. Your home is gonna be great. It looks better then a Walmart, thank goodness. 💖💖💖💖💖
