Better than a no car garage

Thank you!

Thank you! It's really coming along nice

@@slothconstruction Hi! I sent you an email to the address I found in your profile description. Please take a look; I think you’ll find it interesting!

@@slothconstruction Hi! I’ve sent you a message with something I think you’ll find interesting. Looking forward to your thoughts!

@@capegman Thank you

@sambarnum3007 the ink cartridges are actually pretty big, it just depends how much you will use it

@chrisdixon3951 in this area the concrete is about $120 per yard, $4.50 per mile then some and some other fees. The footers took about 5 yards and was $1200, the ICF stem walls were 7 yards and was $1600

@KJ-ju7xy if it's smooth concrete it will print on it

@@judithakerley3553 thank you

@@bjblack3629 thank you!

@AurigaMV thank you. I olanned on real wood but saw a house a few streets over with wood cladding and it was one year old and was shrinking, cracking, twisting and looked terrible, so that's when I decided to look for different options and the composite had everything I wanted.

@@slothconstruction Thank you for the comment! I’m an architect from Kazakhstan, and we have extreme temperature fluctuations ranging from -40 to +30 degrees Celsius (-40 to +86 °F), and this type of material has performed very well here. The only issue sometimes arises with the subsystems used to mount the composite cladding material.

@johnnynephrite6147 nope no earthquakes around here. This is in Southern Colorado

@beararms6945 it can print logos on shirts but I don't think the ink will last long in the washing machine.

@@KarlaJoubran it will print on almost anything, I'm pretty sure copper wouldn't be an issue.

@jst44216 on the sides the rim board will support the weight, but in my case I had to add a second rim board since the outside one was bearing down on the icf not directly to the concrete

@@slothconstruction thank you for the reply. That'll help me build mine start next week or so. I planned on getting 2 extra bci that are 57' and 31' now that I know you can use the rim board I'll go with that to save money!

Thank you! It really does take a lot of patience to fit and place every stone. But worth it when finished!

@@AlexaTaganrog thank you! It's great to see the exterior coming together

@@AurigaMV thank you for your support!

It is about 32x32 with some inside corners so it brings it to a 132' perimeter

@@bjblack3629 Thank you!

@@AurigaMV thank you

@nithinsudarsan9239 as long as the wheel on the print head can roll it will print on just about anything

@spicynomad soo many rocks!

@@slothconstruction 😅😅🤣🤣is it portugal? actually you could separate those rocks from the soil to use around the foundation instead off buying rocks.

Thanks!

Hope I can bring the jobsite to you with the videos. Thanks for your support!

Thank you

@bjblack3629 thanks!

@@bjblack3629 it's great to see progess

@@bjblack3629 Come on over to the job site!

Thanks for watching and noticing the problem. I got an email after posting the video about the same thing and we went back into the crawlspace and added a second rim board on the parallel runs so the weight would transfer to the center of the foundation wall instead of the edge. Next time doing a foundation like this I plan to point that out and add a second rim board.

@@slothconstruction What did you think of ICF? im thinking of doing a split level next year as a rental house, and use ICF for 4 feet basement, and wood frame the rest of the lower level. We have 2 basements going in this week for builds we are starting, a spec and one for us to live in.

Couldnt you just place another I-Joist (BCI) on the inside of rim board on the parallel runs?

I'm not a framer just an electrician and that's what I usually see when I'm roping houses

@@jst44216 Keep in mind, the rim is the load carrying member, I joists while structural, are not intended to catty the whole houses weight. Some designs do spec I joists as Rim, but the load calcs have been dome and they are within the weight carrying capacities. for example a Roseburg 400 series I joist is rated for 40 Pounds per Square foot, thats not much considering the cords are only 2.08" wide.

Center supports are 6x6 and pressure treated. In this area the red pressure treated is what the lumber yards stock, I think I can special order a brown or green, but it is a ground contact pressure treated wood so we shouldn't have any rot issues.

@@slothconstruction great!!! I guess I havent seen read treating before, Different material in different places.

Thanks!

@andreadrummond8815 The funding period ended so the websites may not work. I believe they are starting mass production in September, and will then have a website for purchase. I will update the video description when I get some more info

@AlexaTaganrog Hey thanks! I don't remember if it made it into a video but we did install vents for the crawlspace and put in a vapor barrier as well

@@ryanarango8498 southern colorado

@@bemyers123 We installed a vapor barrier in the crawlspace once the house was finished

@@slothconstruction 👍🏼

@markstipulkoski1389 At the time ICF was hard to find and expensive and we didn't insulate it. Now I wouldn't do it this way, the last 2 houses I've used foxblock ICF and it has been a huge time saver.

Curious about the whole process from start to finish... it looks awesome. Was it easy with the approval process, water, sewer electric, all utilities?

@taburson #1 tip is to research the lot before purchase. There are a lot of lots that are a good price but have no utilities, and utility mains are about $300 per foot to install. Some lots have tap fee paid, but again have no water or sewer service close by. So it's always a good idea to call the water department and power company to confirm services are available at the front of the lot.

Thank you! We thought about high ceilings but ended up following the plans that show 9' ceilings

@@giysih Thanks!

@@giysih thank you!

@@bluesfool1 thanks!

Yes! Finally

Me too. I'm thankful this site only has small rocks. I've been on other house sites in the area that the rocks needed to be blasted

We were putting down a coat of water sealer
