@@WilliamGushulak thank you , we’re planning on posting longer videos explaining what’s going on. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask !

Glad you enjoyed it!😮

@@Charlotte-k9g thank you !

Excellent !!

@@postedback thanks for watching !! 😀

@@sarahhope4794 thanks !!!😊

@@sarahhope4794 you need to hire a construction engineering company to come out and stake out the house. They will take some measurements and 🤞 place the house in the correct spot. As I’m sure you saw in the video, we didn’t have such luck and had to have it moved right before excavation began. It’s usually about $500.

Got it

@@sarahhope4794 for the foundation , I hired one contractor. After we excavated , they came and set form, poured footers, returned to set and pour walls a few weeks later. I have the wall video and new floor video posted as well. I hired someone else for the floor.

@@dianacunningham6984 thank you !😊

@@derrickpeterson6309 Thank you for the suggestion! And thank you for watching !

Thanks for your comment! The reason why the video sounds this way is simply due to the Highwinds that we were having that day. we used noise reduction when editing and this is the result. Unfortunately the weather can be unpredictable during construction!

@@conniethielking3549 thank you for watching ! ❣️ we have more videos on our channel for concrete !!

@@DanBurandt thanks for your comment, we chose this sock due to the very fine Sandy Loam soil that is here. All of the exterior drain tile has filter fabric over top as well- Also, where we live is the top of the Niagara Escarpment, which is mostly bedrock and stone, about 200 feet from me is a very steep drop off, we don’t have much issue with water up here. Even with all the rain we had we did not get much in the foundation and it’s open. Hopefully it holds up!

@@delt19 thank you for your comments! The official Delta installation manual has two different methods of installation. The first method is to drape over the footer, and the second is to have it flush against the wall. We draped where soil was present and did the flat installation where stone was backfilled in (porches and garages) Delta recommends best practice to drape over the footer. For installation, I found it easier to install it flat against the wall , draping causes minor handling and trimming issues in the corners. I suspect they may have opted to install it flat to save time, however, either way is allowable.

Are you talking about a crawlspace foundation like I have? Or do you mean a slab on grade? If a slab, then no. Any place that you have soil against your foundation wall, there should be a weep tube. We are actually going to be posting a video about basement drainage too - Feel free to check out our profile we have a French drain video which shows our basement drainage set up as well as a sump pump that shows the installation of the sump well.

@@farmermike9262 🎵 sorry 😞

@@jimr4566 yes sir, the corner pieces are indeed curved and do overlap. They are also tied together with metal ties. Thank you for watching!

@@jimr4566 unexcavated soil is left in the garage and porch areas. Since it’s not disturbed, it is still compacted and we can backfill stone over it, for the concrete porch and garage floor. Just had them filled with 140 ton of clean 2’s today 👍

Thank you 🙌

We hired the foundation and footer install.

@@dianacunningham6984 37 yards ! (4 concrete trucks)🛻

thats a lot of money for the pump too... holy smokes!

@@baldyoldfart5828 😭 🤷‍♀️😩 I know !

Hey Mark, typically your home is placed in line with the other homes on the street. that’s usually building code. That’s how I knew where to set back the house. Originally when they staked it, it was in the wrong spot almost 15 feet off from where it needed to be. If you are building a house on a plot of land with no neighbors, it’s usually your choice and is outlined on the front of the plan. Sometimes require that they know placement on your plan before applying for permit. The reason is, to account for drainage.

I know ! I watched this video and can’t believe it’s only a month old

We just spent the past day leveling the stone that they slung in this foundation. Overfilled a little bit!

@@MarkJankowski-jw4yl the foundation ended up taking 37 yards of concrete. These are indeed poured concrete walls! Thanks for watching.

Did you make the shovels ?

@@MarkJankowski-jw4yl ❤ - we did make them ! We’re going to make a DIY video to show how you can make one just like it ! Thanks for watching 😊

@@dianacunningham6984 yes 🙌!!

@@RickyBeton1 if you mean at the seam then yes you could , however once the stone is placed it’s not going anywhere. Thanks for watching!

@@nellermann this one is actually set 2 inches above the floor! What did they make you do to fix it ?

Do you have a drain in your basement? I’m wondering the same thing if it’s above grade then how does any water get in from the lid? Sealed system?

@@MarkJankowski-jw4yl this is a sealed system! There is event that runs from the lid to your sewer stack. Since the sump is directly below my living area, I wanted to make sure that there were no smells. Open top basins can smell if not sealed.

@@dianacunningham6984 we did!

@@TofuInc these were recommended by a few different contractors in the area. We have sandy loam soil here , so it’s finer than other types of soil. We used the sleeve, over pipe and in the next video you’ll see us cover them all with clean 2s and put some textile fabric on the stone. Thanks for the comment !

We were very lucky we decided to come out and check! Came at 11 pm and ended up sleeping in our shed (video coming soon) to make sure it was fixed first thing. 😮‍💨 glad that’s over !

I know this is late but please check the volume on your phone!

Awesome!
