We Did the Dirty Deed - Coating the Foundation, Finally! 

You guys give me faith in the next generation, well done!

Your videos always amaze me. I really like how you just dive into a job you've never done before and it always turns out looking great. Great work Doug and Ashley, God bless you and your family, such hard workers. If you have stain on your hands you can use hand lotion on them just let it stay on your hands for a bit and a little scrubbing and it takes it off pretty good. Great video as always.

You guys are really hard workers and motivated ones too! I admire all you do.

Congrats to you both. You looked mighty pleased with yourself after finishing the wall Doug... and why shouldn't you? Well done, nice to see everything coming together. All the best from England.

How did I miss this one? It came up on my feed today! 😀 ❤ You guys are a couple of old souls doing this life to the fullest. Your new place is amazing, and you never left a shoddy old place. 👍🏻🌹

So glad these older videos have popped up in my feed. 🌻🌵🎶

Another nice clip both of you done well the end is in sight best wishes

Well, if you ever do it again, the things to do differently are; 1st use what is called a 3 knot brush. screw a handle in it and run a screw into the brush so it doesn't come off the stick when it's all gooey. Because it will come off at the most inopportune time. 2nd, it should take nearly 2 pails to do that much wall. 3rd, while it's still wet, bed a sheet of at least 4 mil poly into it, 6 mil is preferred. The poly should lap over the footer. If you are installing a footer drain, the poly should extend under the aggregate. Now that you are at your forever home, you probably won't need to do it again. But then again, since you are never quite satisfied, you might just build a new home on that site. All in all, it came out pretty goo for an amateur.

That must be a huge relief to get that done.

Mike Holmes would be proud. 🙂

You don’t half to throw out the T-shirt and the jeans, he can always use those to work outside in and not ruin another outfit

Good job guys.....yeah that foundation coating can be hard to spread..thing is you ended up alot cleaner then i ever did !!!

Doug & Ashley, well done , I must say. Great progress.

I've tarred many times but am brushing up before next project. That said I enjoyed the video, hope the sale of house went well and this family is having a good summer this year. Thanks for sharing.

Sealing my foundation any day searched RU-vid saw your guys video. Not sure if that’s the same Ashley M. I used to play with as a kid if it is Hi from Josh Max and Benny. Joe and Becky my mom and Dad always up there hanging out when I was young. You guys are very interesting and do some cool projects. I’m always tinkering myself and if this is the right Ashley her dad louies always tinkering too lol thanks guys keep up all the good work thanks for sharing

What a mess! What an accomplishment!

Screwdrivers work best when trying to open lid up!

to get the tar off wash with gas

Looks like your little man with be walking soon. Then you will really have to watch him.

I have a question I am in Florida and I have watter coming in my house whenever it rains hard. So I was thinking about coating the foundation like you did even though here in Florida we don't have basements and the Slap is not that deep. However I saw some adding plastic on top of the rubber, and many say you have to add a french drain along with gravel and discharge that watter with a pump which is a lot crazier work than this so do you think this is enough of should I add plastic sheet on the rubber or do I have to have a frech drain? please advise me.

Cool

Get a drill mixer!!!! There is no way in heck you mixed that into a homogeneous mixture with a paint stick. lol

Tar and Feathers must have been a horrible torture!!!

Hey can you guys share the rest of the videos or playlist to this so people will stop asking if you’ve done foundation before also the roof playlist this house is where I found you guys maverick was a baby ☺️

Tar comes off skin with vegetable oil

Can this be used to protect wood 4X4 fence posts?

why did you go at the foundation. did you did down to the footers

Use a roller?

Hey Doug, you've been tarred now all you need are some feathers. lol

what brand of liquid rubber are you using?

Petroleum base. Gasoline will take it off your skin, or maybe mineral spirits, but gas for sure

A roller would be easier than the brush

Does it have to stay below ground level? I'm planning on a basement too, so looking into this option. Thanks alot, good video

wished you showed how you prepped, cleaned, time allowed to dry etc....

How long does it take for the smell to go away, whew!

How do you call that black thing that you use on the wall ?? . If i go to the store to buy it, what name should i look for ?

I'm fairly new to your channel and really enjoy your videos. I have a question. How do you make a living? From the videos, it doesn't seem like either of you work a job. Just wondering.

What’s the name of the product

You was done before lunch? when did you start? that would of took me some time. of course I'm not a young man anymore. lol

Did you dig the foundation with a shovel or did you rent a mini excavator?

How did you dig the hole?

How many 5 gallons cans did u use on that wall

coat the foundation that is

What is the black stuff called?

what is it for?

Not sure why one would dig that all up tar it and not put dimple wrap around the foundation??? Purely foolish in my opinion... If your foundation does any settling itll leak despite.

Should of stuccoed the foundation first
