On a site where you’ve got repetitive stairs to build, I always made a plywood template to layout the stairs with. Just locate your top and bottom critical points. Then lightly fasten the template to the wall and mark it out. Much easier and faster than marking each step one at a time.

In the US, we used to have to put a hole in the block wall, to get the form work out afterwards. It was a real pain. Sometimes if the inspector didn’t question how it would be stripped, we would just leave it.

How deep should the rebate be under the step mate? I’m doing some; I was thinking 20mm gap and wasn’t sure how far under the step it should go

You are suppose to strip the forms and mag out the risers to get any honeycomb out and any of that cream that gets trapped under the forms

Awesome work guys, thanks for sharing, it's great to see good workmanship, well done, can't wait to see the next video. Cheers 👍

Have enjoyed watching your videos. Watching your videos gave me insight as to how to form my own privacy / garden wall (39’Lx8’Hx10”W) using 3x4” lumber supports, and HDO plywood sheets. The only difference being that I didn’t use any wall ties👌 …scrapped them after doing tons of research, and finally muscling up the nerve to risk forming my wall without using them. Poured the wall 5 days ago, and aside from a few minor scares…though the lateral pressure caused the forms to bulge some, we had zero blowouts!😅 I am planning to remove the forms tomorrow / Wednesday (EST)👍👍 Thanks again for the amazing content - not sure if I would’ve taken this project on by myself had I not stumbled upon your videos - first class content👌 Be well🙏

You'd also have to scarify the treads and use bonding agent this will only last in your weather conditions in aussieland

This can all be mono poured at once why to have two pours and risking cold joint cracking.

G'day mate, thanks so much for the video, exactly what I'm looking for as a DIYer! Quick question, what is the purpose of the 30 degree bevel on the underside of the riser, and which way is the bevel facing?

Can you do it in sections to save on formwork?

If we want to do a wall in smaller sections i know you have to extend rebar and put holes in the form but does the new pour just bond to the edge of the section thats hardened?

Hey mate, awesome video! How the little bits go that were nailed into the concrete coming out? Is that where strip lighting was mounted?

Bring back your channel

Thankyou man your videos are really helpful to me as a building student. thanks much really appreciate you effort.

Holy Jesus!!! It is at least 20x harder than i expected. I was planning to build (kind of) a castle by myself ... I almost cried when I realized how hard it's gonna be. 🤯😥

Any more videos comming out bro??

Dude, this is such a good video. I'm an owner builder and none of the learning materials covered suspended slabs as thoroughly as this. I'm so glad I found this vid

Mate i am an aussie that lives in Costa Rica.. and if you came here you would clean up. Almost every construction job here uses standard pylewood for their casting. It never looks perfect.. and i swear they dont know how to mix concrete properly because there is always rocks in it

Awesome clip mate great work. 👍 keep them coming

Do y'all also do the rooftop out of concrete ? and if not, can you ?

Isn't that bump-fire setting how people end up nailing their fingers to the wall? All it takes is a little bit of rebound ..

"This house is here forever" I like that attitude. Too many houses now are built for 50 years and it's expected they'll be torn down after that. It's wasteful to tear them down, but I've lived in houses that were past their best before and living in them is horrible too. We need to build houses for the 500 year span, not 50 years. There are plenty of houses in Eurasia that are more than 500 years old and still lived in, so we know it's possible - we just have to think a whole lot about how to make it possible for the houses we're building now. They should be lived in 500 years from now, and they should be pleasant and comfortable to live in 500 years from now.

What laser level are you using there? Looks good for outdoor use.

Were these stairs wet finished or stripped the next day? Im guessing they wouldnt be able to be finished without the stringer being taken down, to get one side of the riser out. For a same day wet finish would you just cut the risers with a 17mm gap on either side?

Hammering those bolts across the corner, you should have hearing protection. My rule of thumb on a build site is that when I turn 100, I want to be able to hear my great-grandchildren singing me Happy Birthday. That means looking after my hearing now!

What type of concrete mixture are you using?

Love your work 🤙

top !!!!! doing this in the same way in south america

5:40 What are cleats? Where do i buy those in the US?

Mate, I'm from South Australia, I'd like to build my house like this, in a few years time.

Admire your work, you make it look easy but I know this is so hard to do. Do you request any special mix to the concrete?

I’d like to do something similar, but it’s not so much the form work that phases me, but more the vibrating of the concrete so you get a great face and no voids. Any tips on this aspect?

Great video, What size LVL's are you using?

are you using rebar as your bolts ??

Good job

Ultimate bracing, my 1st home was ICf Basement, soon building florida home poured concrete, board formed. No ICF because of insects. Thank you for sharing your impressive bracing techniques.

Absolutely beautiful concrete work.

How do you stop water moving through the walls?

I think there would be a whole lot of ways to set that up, and I'm just figuring it. Maybe just start with a lot of steel I beams permanently installed first, then lay the sheeting on top of that with 4 to 6 inch aircrete for weight reduction, and primarily rely on steel strength for structure, but I'm just guessing.

Beautiful work. great attention to detail. an architect's dream :)

This video is like seven minutes and you state eleven minutes in the title, I think you’re lying lol

this is excellent, THANK YOU

What kinds of plywoods are used for curved walls and stuff?

What would you use a combi gauge and angle finder for can uou give an example please?

Hey what brand laser is this?

Amazing mate!

Im gonna look like a boss when i brace walls next rime

Jeepers, that's a lot harder work than I hoped! Looks like better left to the experts.

love your videos my man 💪 just wondering what's the laser model you're using there for the stairs?

“Nice and tight” 😂
