Super fast block foundation. 

I appreciate the facts that you told that guy to reposition himself on the top of that truck and also told the truck driver to stay off the neighbor's yard.

Awesome video!!. These guys' work looks super neat and professional, small crew and excellent results ....true professional 🔥💯👌🏽

Beautiful job, love the attention to the details 👍

BIG BISCUIT IS THE MAN !!! YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF HIS WORK ETHICS ! BRUTE STRENGTH💪

Excelente work Bondo. This build method is very common in Brazil, fast and efficient! Congrats friend!

Great Job. Thank you for sharing. 🙌

Nice work Bondo. Always nice to see skilled workers show off their skills. Lots of people worried about drainage. You actually reduced the runoff onto the neighbor’s yard by running the gutters into the drain system, that would have ran onto the neighbor’s before. I don’t get why people don’t see that. Stay safe!

Good job. Thanks for sharing and have a great day.

What a beautiful job

Beautiful work team. If yall were in SC I'd hire ya in a heart beat.

Building additions and houses in the philly area for over 30 years...Next time you're setting up block for laying; have a few guys going from the block to each spot. Swing each block to the next guy...Saves your back...Laborers, ran well, save a lot of wear and tear...You guys are lucky...Here, we need 12 Inch Semi solid up to grade...Also, when parging in the outside, run mud on the footer with a pitch so you don't get wash out between the footer and the block...before you seal coat it... The block guys were good mechanics....

You're videos are always interesting! You guys make a great crew. Nobody is lazy, all great workers! When you're done go jump in the lake to cool off.

Not a cement/concrete guy but shouldn't you fill all the cores or just the ones with rebar?

Nice job!😎👌👍

That was fast and neat. Came out great

Recent subscriber, grew up north of Utica. Brought back memories seeing your guys working in early summer with their shirts off until they were red as lobsters. Moved south in 1988 and have lived in North Carolina mostly since (with an 8 year trek to the desert and then west coast before returning to NC.) Enjoy the videos.

Great job, nice video. Knowing what not to do makes for excellence. Any need for a floor drain in that crawl space?

Beautiful work.

Great job !!!

Awesome job

Like seeing the lake when you have jobs there. Grew up near the lake in Northern Niagara County, been in KS since 90s.

Nice work!!

Looks good as always ya got a good crew they r hard working guys

These workers never heard that rock dust is bad for lungs? Crystalline silica people.

Nice view, along the sea...great job

Looks great!

Nice work good clean job all round 👍 👍

......ein beneidenswert schönes Fleckchen Erde..............

Turned out nice 👍

Came out nice!!

I always used B-bond to parg the block because it added strength and is more water proof the just mortar.

Another good job Bondo

Y'all make it look too easy - I'm over here on my couch thinking that I can do this too!

Turned out nice guys!

Good job Bud.

Nice work - surprised the basement wasn’t deeper - hard to tell head height. Nice drainage destination in the back yard. I would have suggested a property line retaining wall for future!

Good quality work! I know you use ICFs often, how come you used blocks this time? Cost? What’s the approximate cost difference on this job if you would have used ICFs?

✨👍. Great job. Do you do all of NYS? I'm in Upstate NY near Buffalo... Getting ready to sell ... Moving South...But I would love to refer you to anyone looking to buy my house...Thanks for the simple explanation of what you're doing... Would be great to have a picture of finished addition ✨🤗

Very beautiful work… But I don’t see waterproofing… That’s how you guys doing in NY?

Why no waterproofing the wall??

You run a tight ship, great job!

So cool thanks

Thank you for the excellent video! Could you share the manufacturer of that dark foam insulation? Have you ever had ants burrow through the foam board? A number of years ago I left a scrap piece of 2" Dupont "blue board" polystyrene on the ground (sandy soil) for several months and when I turned it over I found that the ants had tunneled their way all through it. Cheers!

I can’t believe he grabbed them power wires like that

No worries about vacuum thrust for rebar in fondation ? And also there is no vertical rebar in the fondation ??

Great job

You skipped the entire excavation!? That's the best part.

How can it be that the home owner in this case when the existing house was built on a full basement (window) and visible above ground level. don't you then choose during the extension to (for almost no increased cost) dig a little deeper and let you build a 14 block high foundation wall so that you can get (double area) with 9' interior ceiling height in the basement level? Hard to understand that one misses that opportunity for only slightly more expensive (work and more concrete hollow blocks) for double area in the finished extension?

You're burning the biscuit

I'm just across the Lake O from here. Couple of things I noticed are different. Have you got 4 foot frost cover from finished grade to underside of footings? You parged, but no damp proofing (tar)? Was that an oversight? I've noticed in several videos done around north eastern US that you pin your block to the footings and fill cores with concrete. I've even seen bloc-loc (wire reinforcement) every three courses. The wall is restrained at the bottom by the slab and at the top with the floor structure. Is this a code thing for you?

Bondo, what area do you guy's work out of? I'd like to build an accessory building in the western Ma/Albany NY area.

How is it you are lucky enough to get so many Lake front jobs? LOL Beautiful views, but usually very tight circumstances, and property lines fiercely protected. They literally fight over inches, instead of feet. Very nice work, especially in such a tight job site. I can see a neighborhood war coming about water runoff, after the first good rain, lol 🤦‍♂️😳😂😉

Looks good. Is that in Bridgeport by chance?

Belts would make a good company gift…😅

121👍's up B B thank you for sharing

Where was the plasta that was one the walls earlier ...😮😮...did you removed if before you cast the floor??

Great show. What I don't get is, the two big boys are working so hard, how the hell are they not slim? They should be losing 20 lbs per day doing this the way they move.

Those ties to existing building look concerning 15mins into video.. Block structure is on a different foundation to the house foundation so if there is movement over the years = cracking. Movement joint ties do you have them in the States ?

Dam, nice job. How much this cost to do??

Curious, what are doing as a floor for this project? Looking at the “same type” of build but would like to pour a concrete floor. Better off backfill completely? Thanks

Now thats a nice pool!

Next time you need to put stone inside a wall, just get it put on a mixer and shoot it out in there. You only need a little water just to get the stones wet, works really good.

That Sea Biscuit sure is a hard worker 💪👍

We have a couple 10cu ft brentwoods. Amazing.

What good is drilling rebar into the foundation or placing the rebar in the cells after the wall is poured? All you had to do was layout the center line of the wall and measure the cell locations and L shaped rebar. The vertical bonds are no good with no connection to rebar in footing. Plus, backfilling on freshly laid block wall?

I know that's hard work. I moved a stack of those blocks. I died,

What part of Oneida Lake is this on, Northside?

Another nice job. The Governor

good crew, good reliable work. one friendly suggestion is get the guys a cool comfortable uniform. its a sloppy look having them in street clothes or taking thier shirts off -- makes you look bad when clearly the result is anything but that. make that small change that will take your jobs from good to great.

You say there's rebar holding the wall to the footing but earlier in the video you show yourself pouring that footing and there was no vertical rebar protruding from it.

Nice

Because the grade of that property is now higher and there's no drainage ditch on the property line... won't rain runoff flood the neighbors property?

what lake is this? You mentioned upstate NY but I couldn't understand you when you pronounced the name of the lake.

Need to fill all the blocks with concrete, no?

how do you deal with when setting up a wall, with in the total length you only need to make up less than 1/2 a block ,say 1-2", you need to make up vs cut a piece of block. to complete a course , Do you make the motar on the ends of the blocks a bit thicker to make up the couple inch amount over the course

You do damn nice work Bondo. Have a spotted cow on me!

you don't put tar or water barrier on the outside of block wall? different climate zone.

Gud dzhob, pipl!

Guys with "No shirt 👕 no shoes no service " 😂

Is tar no longer used on exterior foundation underground?

Why not just put the foam board on the outside of the block walls?

Why do you pour a floor for a crawl space?

That' was really square going upward on the foundation.

Damn, biscuit is well-done. Get that guy some sunscreen!

Bonjour, dommage la fin de la vidéo montre que vous ne remplissez pas les bloc creux de béton. Pourtant c'était du bon travail, sauf qu'il manque cette étape pour réellement solidifié le mur. Dans le temps un mur creux s'affaisse ou se brise avec les mouvements de terrain ainsi que le poids qui lui vient contre.

really not recommended to drop the gutter water into the foundation drain pipe, only asking for inevitable problems in the future.

Just a thought. You sloped the dirt towards the neighbor's lawn next to the garage. Do not be surprised when those lovely neighbors complain that the runoff of rain floods their yard. Also shouldn't you run the filter fabric up along the wall and over the stone along the wall, cover the fabric on top of the stone then put dirt against the fabric? Without the fabric on top that dirt will eventually end up mixed with the stone and clogging it up defeating the function of the stone.

easy diggin...must be on the south shore

侧边无草干燥方形坑深度和长宽.不适合做地基基础泥地就必须停.另选另外处地面.换土填充夯实.起巩固作用.

Do they call footings footers up there? I mean, I know a footer is a part of a document and a footing is a part of a foundation, but maybe it’s different north of the Mason-Dixon Line.

Why is the rebar on the dirt needs gravel also

what were the 2 concrete pads for - just curious.

You work as close to me as Oneida lake?!?!?! Where are you located and are you taking new jobs? How can I contact you? We can't get anybody to even return a call and we're running out of time! We're south east of oneida lake.

im from oz ( australia :D ) had to laugh as it seems that you guys over there have a different idea on power lines.. as teh dude was moving the Lines (likely telegraph lines) outta the way with his hands... then i get an ADD "if you Touch Power lines Stop and WAIT" -'cuse it can cuase death-XD

you guys do nice work but why put roof water down on your footer gutter debris will eventually cause a problem just run another run of solid pipe above

how far down do you have to go for frost? you must be in the states?

Why is it you guys do alot of block walls instead of forms ?

you do nice work.

How much does a foundation like this cost? I'd like to do mine.

I hate laying block on footings like that. They get in the way. Beautiful scenery.
