Happy Mothers Day Ana, And to all the Moms out there ! Please video everything you can with your shop build, it's very interesting and informative. That top plate install was ingenious, never would have thought of doing it that way. Everything looks perfect and Thumbs up from CT !!
Oh what a shop! That thing is huge. I know you guys would like to get it away from the house. I wasn't thinking this big for some reason. My head has been foggy lately, but I just wasn't thinking of the Alaska winters. Exspecily dark winter. I had a blond moment there... lol.... I can say that bc my hair when I was younger was blonde now it's a dirty blonde color ..... lol... Plus you can build tiny homes in it when the winter is bad. If you want to. Great demo video. If I ever do a big building. I'll remember this video. Thanks, Chris from Missouri
I’m currently redoing a 16 foot wall like this at grade. Thank you for the simplicity. I have used this information the whole time for my build. Thank you.
Top Plate install!!!! That is so efficient and beautiful. Wow look the bolts are centered! They have not slipped into the concrete! Thank you for showing how you do that. I think I have a list of "But Jacob White did it this way and it just makes more sense so..... Happy Mother's day Ana! Best Mother's Day present was building the couch with our son. We love the couch!! Thank you!
Footing is not below frost level and sides are buried footings so perhaps they may be depending on your location and how far frost goes below surface in winter. This could create frost movement in your footing along open side.
If you didn't want any movement at all then deep piles should have been bored and poured under the footings...likely to a depth of 20 to 25 feet! It can get pretty cold that far north.
@@timcoolican459 Depends on the soil. I built a 3200 sqft walkout in 2009 on nothing but a footing (bottom was 10' ICF with windows and patio doors), and that's in Saskatchewan (currently -38C as I type this). Frost level here is 10ft below grade. The soil is jackpine sand that is basically like rock. No heaving or movement at all in 14 years now. On clay...well, I would never build on clay, but if I had to, I'd use screw piles, not concrete. The frost will grab the whole concrete tube and heave it out of the ground, I've seen it. Screw piles are much faster, a lot cheaper, and don't have the heaving issue.
@@karlhungus545 ...I agree that screw piles are a better and more economical way to build, if you can get the equipment onto your build site. I live in Saskatchewan too, having worked construction most of my life. I can say, without a doubt, that you need to go deeper than 10' to beat the frost here. Most concrete and screw piles I have had installed, go to a minimum depth of 20'. In fact, most piling contractors recommend a minimum depth of 15' to 20'. Now, to be fair, I had managed mostly commercial and industrial job sites, before retiring from construction. I was dealing with building massive and heavy foundations, with large structural loads. Having said this, I still wouldn't install a concrete or screw pile, unless it was at least 16' in depth. Now when it comes to large surface areas, like pads, footings are just fine. As long as you have a good base with ample drainage, there should be no problems. Large spread footings are even used, rather than piles, if pile depths cannot be reached, due to rocky soil from glacial till or bedrock. However, if you really don't want any movement whatsoever, piles are still the best way to go. It is the combination of beating the frost, the friction of the pile, and the weight of the pile including the structure on top of it, which ensures this type of stability.
You guys are really hustling along! Ingenious to put the top board on before the concrete cures. We are also currently building a shop, looking forward to seeing what you guys are doing next. Good luck, best regards from Norway! :)
Wow! I haven't heard that much from Jacob in the whole series! Nice job explaining and you've got a great voice for this work. It is so endearing to watch you operate heavy equipment and cuddle the baby at the same time. There are three lucky kids!
Looking great, can’t wait to see the rest of your build. What is the cost comparison to forming up a wall or even using large concrete block? Thanks John 😎👍
You do some pretty good work there. Its a pitty your not in my area, I would be calling you to help me drop in a crawl space for my shop. PS, your shop is too big, 1/2 of it should be shipped to me LOL! That sill plate is spot on!
Great. How do you attach the first row down to the footing so the wind is not blowing them while you work? Do you remove those nubs that interlock the blocks before setting on the footing & on the top row for pouring?
great job putting the 6mil poly under the footing, no one seems to know about water wicking into the footer or keeping the entire bottom of the structure safe from it the inspector here in anchorage didnt even know why i did it until i explained it to him
shouldn't you put horizontal steel bar inside before concrete???? this isn't a big wall so it's probably ok but I would think some rebar should go inside....
Very interested. I am curious where in the country was this project? I'm interested doing ICF (DIYer) in Florida on a small foundation (for a porch) for practice before doing a garage.
I am always so fascinated by construction, especially how he gets everything level: flooring, various sections of the wall, etc. So cool. That is a very cool product.
@@AnaWhiteDIY if you are ever in Anchorage, feel free to look me up. I am currently looking at a gut job on lower hillside. The house is about the same size as your burn out project. I am Kat Raulerson Vallish on Facebook.
Hey FYi You Put the Bottom Plate in Postion - However with Straight threaded Rod You Should of had an elbow bent at the Bottom to Reduce the uplift Forces - Wind Loads on Walls & Roof - Eg Movement & Cracking No Core flute used for wall & moisture protection What about Drainage Behind your Wall & Gravel eg French drains
Great video! Pouring out of the truck worked great, I always thought you needed a pump truck. Ever think about building a footer box and pour footing and wall at the same time?
OMG I just learned so so much, i cant tell you how grateful i am for you guys!!I never met a GC who explained things so simplified ...Keep em coming ,cause someday i'm going to thank you guys when i send you a photo of my new home i built..xo..P.S. What size foundation is this?
I absolutely love seeing the children learning at such a young age, that little boy sure looks like his mama and that little girl has such a wide eyes and such interesting what daddy is doing. Good job
What weather proofing did you use? I seen much more complicated, elaborate systems. I've found simple is usually best, if it is effective. What material do you use?

Happy Mother's Day Ana! I am so envious of the size of your shop! I know you will be glad to get it out of the garage.
Your shop is going to be cool.. ICF's look great and been seeing them used a lot in the past few years..👍
Robert, have you seen any in Florida?
Very cool. I like that you used the boards on top so you have something to tie the walls on to.
Thanks for watching!

So many great informations. Awesome.
You make it look very easy, Jakob.
Greetings from munich, Tom.
I am so interested in icf forms for a home!
Happy Mother's Day Anna!!
There's literally no better way to build than icf construction!!!
I’m currently redoing a 16 foot wall like this at grade. Thank you for the simplicity. I have used this information the whole time for my build. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Jacob great video. Very informative well done. And I going to have to figure out what project I can use these on. Excited to watch more!
Wow that’s gonna be a great Garage 💯😄
Wonderful! I love seeing the kids hanging out with Dad on the job site. Happy Mothet’s Day, Ana.
I’ve looked into the blocks. Seem nice. There expensive but labor friendly. Nice video thank you
That man is a multitask-er extraordinaire! holding a baby and managing an earth mover at the same time 😁😁👍👍
He’s pretty great!

Love ICF. We have a three storey house in Palm Beach County.

Best part was seeing your boy working with you. I did the same with my dad and am forever grateful he had the patience to allow me to be with him.
What a neat product! Things are shaping up nicely!
Very interesting. I know a family who built a house using those and they're very happy with it.
You guys are really hustling along! Ingenious to put the top board on before the concrete cures. We are also currently building a shop, looking forward to seeing what you guys are doing next. Good luck, best regards from Norway! :)
Thank you for sharing your journey with us, love your advice for construction project. God bless you and your family
Wow those blocks sure seem to work great! Like the idea for the top plate. Happy Mother’s Day Ana.
Fox block is a great brand of icf just got done with an 8 month ground up project of two whole buildings with it
Wow! I haven't heard that much from Jacob in the whole series! Nice job explaining and you've got a great voice for this work. It is so endearing to watch you operate heavy equipment and cuddle the baby at the same time. There are three lucky kids!
Like it.. Looks easy. 👍
Looking great, can’t wait to see the rest of your build. What is the cost comparison to forming up a wall or even using large concrete block? Thanks John 😎👍
Another thing or two to consider is time and weather. That also equals money. I'm getting frost between 1am and 8am. I've got a set back. Oh, well...
Awesome !
Another video that we enjoyed. 💕👍🏼🙏🏼
Interesting.
Great video's, I like being able to follow along with you as you make progress on your shop. Really like the blocks you used on the foundation walls.
Excel ant video! Great top plate install ……… thanks for keeping it simple! Happy Mother’s Day
great video. excellent tips and tricks from your experience. thank you.

Great. How do you attach the first row down to the footing so the wind is not blowing them while you work? Do you remove those nubs that interlock the blocks before setting on the footing & on the top row for pouring?
Use spray foam to secure the bottom to the footer. You can cut the nubs off the top with basically anything, these blocks are made from styrofoam.
great job putting the 6mil poly under the footing, no one seems to know about water wicking into the footer or keeping the entire bottom of the structure safe from it the inspector here in anchorage didnt even know why i did it until i explained it to him

They do... he must have missed discussing it in the Video...
Perhaps if you googled it you could see the inside network of support that is there.
very cool videos thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching good to hear from you this week!
How do you physically push or pull the braces in/out against a wall that is already filled with concrete and rapidly setting?
@Ana White how do you tie the 2x4s to the stake in the ground ?
@anawhitediy
What will the rest of the structure be build with?
Slick!!!
great video
Great video I am looking at using these under my log home. Thank you for the video.
Good job doing this
🤗❤️
Thanks, this video was loaded with lots of helpful advice. Good first hand knowledge. Thanks again for this good share.
Great video just one question 80 foot with no dead man is that normal ?
Nice job 👍
Thanks for the visit!

Which finger is best for blood sugar test?
I am always so fascinated by construction, especially how he gets everything level: flooring, various sections of the wall, etc. So cool. That is a very cool product.
can icf blocks be used for root cellar or underground bunker type structure? happy mothers day, ana!
What area of Alaska are you in? I am in Anchorage. I have always enjoyed creating, making doing. Love this video.
We are in the interior, just south of Fairbanks. Thanks for watching!

I do construction in the lower 48, what do you do to be able to afford a shop like that in Alaska as expensive as everything is up there ?
You’re going to need more toys to fill that shop ...😉
What an excellent explanation of everything, such a well put together video! Really appreciate your time doing this!
Good stuff. As someone not in the field would it be a little quicker to use a scrap block to measure off your line with instead of a tape?
Hey FYi
You Put the Bottom Plate in Postion -
However
with Straight threaded Rod
You Should of had an elbow bent at the Bottom to Reduce the uplift Forces -
Wind Loads on Walls & Roof -
Eg Movement &
Cracking
No Core flute used for wall & moisture protection
What about Drainage
Behind your Wall
& Gravel eg French drains
i thought so too, but it you look again, you can see the L shape
Ever seen them used in a Earth shelter application?
Great video! Pouring out of the truck worked great, I always thought you needed a pump truck. Ever think about building a footer box and pour footing and wall at the same time?
Very informative, so glad to see the build up. Great Job!
I wonder if this method may be used in Georgia?
Why didn’t you use SCC regular cement actually takes a lot more work to pour.
What is this building going to be?
Wood working shop
So you don't strip nothing off you don't even see the concrete how much does it run
Nudura icf is a far superior product! Shop around!
Is there an standard for adding a beam pocket? Anyone know of an "How To"?
What did you do for waterproofing?
Waterproofing membrane then protective foam.
Why not do the whole shop with ICF.
Concrete is expensive and it's much easier,cheaper to work with wood. Imo.
Fast forward to now
How much are they a square foot?
how much each block costs ?
How far apart did you put your vertical rebar?
And what did you use for your waterproofing material?
Ur not worried about the bottom moving?
It gets spray foamed to the footer. The pour went well, house still standing 7 years later 😉
@@AnaWhiteDIY 👍 wasn’t sure if that was strong enough, good to know

Good video but that background "music" was totally unnecessary and very distracting.
I bought plans from Stodoys and did it very quickly.
Footing.

Put caps on rebar going to poke eye out
