Hello all,
Keep in mind, world is a big place and it has different geographical locations will have different climates and therefore different building codes. All this is done up my to local building codes (my winters are almost non existant and no earthquakes here either) Thank you for watching.
Keep the build-board conclusion idea that you use . It is good for a quick screen shot and good for a conclusion
How much you do this thank you
Where's the rebar?
So how much was the plumbing build and concrete together. Have a project I want to do around the same size.
@@joshuagalvan5422 I am wandering the same. Maybe that is why it is so cheap. I doubt he used fiberglass or micro steel spikes in the concrete.
I bought a piece of land for 7500... built a small cabin then a garage by it... spent 7500 on that too . 4000 on the cabin and 3500 on the garage which is almost like a barn... anyways... now Im saving for the big house. God bless
Notice that they barely say a word to each other. You know you have a good concrete crew when nobody needs to say anything during the pour because everyoneis a professional who knows what they are doing.
Excellent work!
When you work with someone for a while this becomes norm and your guys know what to do without saying anything. That is gold.
Exactly... They all did a great job... Thank them for me.. It's quite the job and back breaking to work out that concrete.
Awesome job guys! 👍😃
The mud was so wet and easy, they didn't need to say anything
@@nirpy That's the way it's supposed to be . It's not necessarily "wet" per se, . They don't mention what mix design. there are other factors besides water content that affect the slump and workability of the mud.
Up here NW Ohio, that slab would have a footing at a minimum of 36 inches deep below the final grade in order to prevent frost jacking. That's the building code around here.
But I've poured concrete down south too, where that isn't necessary. However they have other problems to deal with, such as wildlife. like fire ants, venomous spiders and snakes.
Up here in Ohio you don't have to deal with any of that freaky stuff. The worst we have is mud dauber wasps who gather cement paste off the surface of the concrete to build their nests out of it.
Hell yeah!
i like honesty and transparency with prices of anything, I liked and subbed.
Thank you, and welcome aboard
How much does it cost ? I could not see it in the video
@@masqu4 at 21:27 it says 12 yards of concrete for $150/yard so I'm guessing it cost him $1800 not including the labour and delivery costs?
Who knew watching cement being poured and polished would be so interesting. Really glad I found this channel.
This is a perfect empty nester home for my wife and I. Thanks for another fabulous video. Hope you have a wonderful Easter!😀👍👍🐰
Thx, you guys have a happy easter as well, don't eat too many chocolate bunnies.
Thank you, you are providing a valuable service to the public here. Most people have no idea what the real cost of construction is.
That is one of the many reason I made this channel, this info should be out there.
Hey Mr. MC, ooooo, another video!!!! Yeah us!!!! Thank you!!!!! Going to watch and come back here. THANK YOU SIR!!!!!
Oh yay, another upload! Always lovely to see your videos! Hope you are feeling well 🧡
Thank you for making videos like this. Being able to understand the cost and everything broken down step by step. I definitely liked and subscribed to your channel. I am building my home in the future and I need all the DIY lessons I can get.
Glad I could help, more to come framing, elctrician, plumber, window, siding, cost etc etc
Thank you. Just stumbled onto your channel. It's so nice to hear the cost. I hope your feeling better, take care.
You should have at least 100k subs for the amount of information you put out. I enjoy your videos so much, I watch them 2 or 3 times😁
So excited!! Can’t wait to see the finish product. 🤗🏡
Thank you so much for sharing this information! My husband and I are getting ready to build in the next 7 months. This helps so much!
I LOVE IT! Thank you so much for sharing the details and pricing. The guys did a great job!
Thank you so much for the in depth information! Looking forward to see it all built up.
This is the best video I have seen on this subject matter thanks so much from Australia!
I love your channel and work so much. You have given me the courage to build a small house. Thankyou.
Great to hear, feel free to ask any questions.
Thanks for another great upload, looks like your concrete guys did a good job as well. Hope you feel better tomorrow!
Thx, those guys are good peoples.
Man your channel is always great. Thanks again!!
Thank you for the kind words
Hope you feel better after your rest !! Sorry you feel bad 😞 but appreciate you uploading the video !
You are the guy, straight to the point (cost ) . Thank you very much !
Thx, I always wanted to know this before I got started doing construction so now I show people the truth what it takes to build a house.
Honest people doing an honest job. Refreshing.
:)
Thanks for the video. Currently having my first home being built so I need to be ahead of the developers.
Thanks you so much for your honesty, I've been watching your channel and I like it so far. I got my land on Denver, CO and everything it's so expensive.
Love watching your videos very detailed keep them coming.
Strangely enough this is actually soothing to watch....
Thumbs up and subscribed immediately after you started talking prices.
Thanks so much 🙏🏻 looks like I have lots of your videos to catch up on
Thx man, and welcome aboard
Always wondered how these skilled jobs get done. Really fascinating!
:)
Hey MC, another awesome video. I really enjoyed the polishing at the end...very relaxing for some strange reason. stunning scenery too, my gosh. Hope you're feeling better, brother 👍
Thx Zee, I live in paradise here I love it.
I don't get the timing of the polish and why they bothered with the manual I've when they have a machine... How soon can you walk on it and polish?
The information you provide is much appreciated! Good luck!
My pleasure, I'm spilling the construction industry secrets I might pay for that one day when Tony comes and visits me with his friend Louisville slugger.
@@MigraineCraftsman Before the price went up to $150, what was the average price?
@@trejackson3777 I used to get it at 108, but everything is going up slowely.
This is the Best channel I've ever seen that explains the details of building a new house. We appreciate you taking the time to show everything in detail.
God Bless 🙏... stay safe and healthy.
Thank you for the kind words

I soonest you said the full price I said what a nice guys for people like me and when you finished sayin you always said all the prices I subscribed good stuff man
Inspirational! As always :)
Another great video! Thank you!!
Great video. Hope you feel better. Thanks for these videos. I have 3.98 acres of land that needs clearing one day. Hoping to build my retirement home on the land in the future. These videos help me get an idea of the process
Now that sounds great 4 acres of land does sound like a nice retirement home spot.
What do you plan on doing with the trees cleared out?
when I saw 22 minute video, I almost skipped on by. Thank you for getting to the point early. Bought yourself a like and subscribe by being a decent human.
Thanks for this. It’s very helpful in my planning
Glad to be of help
Brave MEN and great informative video. Get well soon Craftman
Thx hope you are feeling good yourself Zeyno.
Have only seen just the first few minutes, but ... looks great! "My kind o' guy."
That man is an amazing eye baller at getting it level!
You have some epic people in your area!!
The forms help a lot with eyeballing :) but he is very good at what he does.
Yes , looks like a great company for sure ! But a back killer of a job though😞
@@melodycrawford9943 Oh yeah you definitelly feel your back at the end of the day.
It's easier with the thinner concrete IMO
He gets the grade in the middle using screed pins. You see them early in the video with colored flagging tied to them.
Nice work! Thank you for sharing!
Love this content. Thank you for this.
Glad you found it of use, take care be safe.
I stumbled on this video and I love it...the videos are full videos and informative narrative is amazing...I am truly thankful because I am building my own home and this videos really helps also with the prices...thank you a TON and God bless you man...👍🏽🙌🏽
Love the layout of this house! Looks a lot like the plans you drew up for me, can’t wait till the next video. 😊😊
I'm already planning the next build so wait till you see that weird thing I'm thinking of building.
I’m sure I’ll love it! 😊😊
@@jovandertuig1042 lol i'm not so sure. I have been toying with the idea to build another small house I just have to find land that allows it.
I love small houses! If we ever get ours going I’ll show you the progress if you’d like 😊
@@jovandertuig1042 I would love that
That was very satisfying to watch
Great channel..I like the cost transparency angle
Thx, seldom seen now a days.
I have been looking for this type of video for a loooooong time. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for your videos brother. I just subscribed 👍👏
What a hell of a spot with those mountains.
looks good. would you allow option to reinforce the with steel to reduce chance of cracking?
very educational! thank you!
Amazing info bro keep up the good work
thx
This is the kind of video a buyer NEEDS to study!!
THIS IS PERFECT. Thank you SO MUCH!!! NC and GA??? Where have you been?! 😃😃
Great video thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
Thank you for watching
That finisher knows his shit! Good job
He's been doing it for a while and is a good human too which matters
I just had the same size slab poured in southest iowa,but I had to add 4ft footer!cost was $11,000. But I did have a 24x24 garage on in.
This is where I need to my kind of work
I love seeing concrete poured and finished.
That is where everything starts, :)
We gotta finish that cabin of yours and build another structure over there maybe a garage apartment.
Beautiful!
I really, really appreciate your channel and think you are helping people out in the world.
Not sure how you came up with your channel name. Seems to me you help remove a lot of headaches.
thx for watching, as for the channel name I get migraines a lot hence the name.
Thanks brother. Almighty bless for the good info .
Great video
Hello. Love this channel. Where are you now? Stopped building because prices are so crazy now? Hoping you continue your work
I'll be following this build, I'm planning on a building just like this in Texas, I want a 30x30 so afew feet bigger.
Love it. Looking to build tiny 500sqft 2 bed 1b in Clewiston fl soon
I just got quoted $10.5 psf. I'm glad you posted this so I can keep shopping around
Best thing you can do, get couple of qoutes and sometimes you can negotiate. The only thing is when the guys are really busy they wont budge on the price.
Keep in mind dont go to cheap as it will show in the final product, I've walked away from many jobs where the client try's to lowball me and they end up paying the price going with the lower bid especially when they know you're going to give them the better and complete job
@@kareemt4526 do you mind expounding on this? What does a low quality job look like vs a high quality job? I'm curious and wanting to learn
@@jl9678 the low quality would be hard to show but I e seen contractors and finishers so called stretch the concrete out of straight up waste material (throw away) and pass the cost off to the customers, finish concrete is an art
@@jl9678 these guys did an excellent job, high quality especially the steps taken to extend the quality and value for all the years to come
Great job
Good video. Is that Sharp Top and Burnt Mountain in the background?
About $500 additional to put 1" EPS under the concrete and would give you I think an R value of 5, it does make a difference in heating costs in upstate SC
Yes, it all depends on the location if there is a benefit of doing it. In construction you really have to watch how you spend your money couple things here and there and before you know it a house that should have cost $100K to build turns into a $200K project and people run out of money and are stuck with an unfinished house. Seen this time after time with people and contractors even, good luck selling a house that is not finished and does not have an certificate of occupancy, that is a headache I don't want.
as an former readi mix driver you poured a 4 1/2 inch slump. With no rebar or did you add firber mesh to it?
you gave the pricing up front i like that
Great video! If you wanted the slab to work as a finished floor (like a stained concrete floor), can you smooth it down to that level of finish at this point?
You would have to do the final finishing once all the trades are done walking on the floor, especially drywall which is messy as $%#@
Great videos. You have any info on who to contact in Arizona to build a small house ?
I have a 1600 square foot house in central Texas. The foundation was built with plenty of rebar throughout, and pretty good beams in both directions crossing each other. Hasn't prevented the whole thing from cracking all over, and needed foundation work three times. I just finished about a week ago getting it done for the third time. The middle was sinking, so I had to have holes cut into the slab. That's how I now how well the foundation was done. The entire house was off by about 3 inches. Cost over $16500 to level. Just saying, it isn't enough to have a well made foundation, it depends on where it's at too. Texas is notorious for these issues.
Mark you are correct Sir, I am actually going to go over that information in the next episode. Location and environment plays a HUGE role on what can be done and where.
What a caos always keep in mind when getting any concrete done make sure to have quality concrete pour mix. anything under 3,500 psi its basic trash. For a house its should at least be 4,000 psi and that's what we do unless foundation plans state something higher. rebar should always be placed on chairs. Grading and leveling are a most be perfect and if piers are on your budget even better. But before starting any foundation plans you have to get a soil test sample and see what foundation is required for that particular land. It will save you so much moving forward. hope your foundation will now be perfect and give you no more problems
What is your plan for keeping water run off from the sides & back of home. Slope of ground at edge of house should be 1" per ft for at least 6' to keep the soil from getting saturation in a down pour. Plus you must plan on a shallow ditch at the 6 ft point to redirect water from surrounding properties away from the walls of your home. Much easier to keep water out than try to remove it afterwards. In TN topsoil with grass finish is required by code to be 6" below top of slab for termite control. Even if red clay soil eliminates termite issues, that's a lot more dirt needing to be removed around the home to allow water drainage control. A site plan to address these issues is required by some counties code department before getting the building permits. If not required where you are it is still a good idea to plan on the dozer work cost to get it to meet those specs, otherwise a mud slide against the side of home could ruin all the money you spent. You might get by on adding cinder block retaining walls to keep dirt back from home but still must plan for rain water runoff to protect your investment. Much easier to deal with now than after home is complete.
Proper grading later on in the project.
Here to see how much this would cost me in California for a 350 square foot addition. Things are so expensive out here. Thanks for the good info!
About $12K.
This is what I want to do. You can find land pretty cheap here in colorado. I have a background in landscaping, flooring, concrete, painting, drywall install/finishing. I have friends who do it all and own remodeling companies, concrete companies, framing, flooring, plumbing etc. (huge perk of working construction/labor😂). Getting guys out to help build would be a few phone calls away, buuuuut it’s just a matter of getting the money to do this all😂. I did the math and within the last 4 years of living in my apartment I’ve spent almost 70,000 in rent with nothing to show for it. The rent is higher and high each year because Colorado is getting insanely expensive.
This is the ultimate move. Building a small house on a nice piece of land. Too bad I wasn’t smarter when I was younger 😂. All that money spent partying and on rent could have been towards something like this.
Many of your viewers are questioning the strength of the foundation. They are not familiar with the requirements of a foundation in Georgia. The weather is so mild compared to much of the country. It really is a completely different situation. I am from Northern Michigan and most foundations and roof framing allowed in the US would absolutely not pass here. I know you have said it many times until you are blue in the face, so I will take a turn. Every part of the country is different due to different weather and soil and wind, etc. Sometimes amazingly different. That's the reason for local codes and local inspectors. Excellent channel.
Thank you for that, I will actually cover this in the future video, this is one of those topics in construction that people get really passionate about, but not all are informed how different climates affect construction.
@@MigraineCraftsman Do you mind sharing this contractors info. I’m looking to build in Georgia.
I wish you were here in Utah because I would love you to build me a smaller home around 1200 sq ft. You do an amazing job from design to finish!
Thx Utah is a beautifull place, nice area. Watch the channel and you can learn how to be your own contractor and manage the project like I do. Lot of states let you build a house as an OWNER BUILDER, as long as the house is for you to live in. Check in on that for your state.
@@MigraineCraftsman I'll have to do that, thanks!
@Mark Reeder Yes, he really does a great job of showing us from start to finish and I like how he breaks down the cost of everything.
I wonder if there would be enough leftover to make some rustic countertops, maybe polish them or add a nice finishing coat.
Not much waste leftover but you can do countertops from home depot or lowes bags all day long and it costs like $4.50 a bag.
@@MigraineCraftsman been there, done that doing fence posts, after day three my arms and back were done.
I need make one of these
Hello , great videos , i have a question if it had footings how would i calculated that? I assume thats a extra cost . Thank you
Hello, Yes it would have been extra (more labor to dig footers and more concrete)
You can do calculations on concrete if you google "cubic concrete calculator"
It seems like there were no J bolts installed for the was floor sill plate? How is your wall secured to the slab?
Good info
Not feeling well going to sleep, I'll answer your comments tommorow.
Migraine Craftsman feel better!!
Hope you feel better tomorrow.
Migraines could be caused by high blood pressure. Maybe try cutting back on sodium?
Hope you're feeling better, sir.
@@kendrickdelosreyes5381 Thx, I avoid sodium when I can, it's random for me, even when it rains I get headaches and migraines.
Hi MC 👋🏼😊 I love your vids and small homes. I live and south Texas and have been wanting to build my own home and have recently thought of doing it out of a metal building. What are your thoughts on this idea?
I actually love that idea no bugs/termites will ever touch your house. I actually went to one of those metal building retailers couple weeks ago to do some homework on a possible future project.
Migraine Craftsman wow that’s great! The area where I’m wanting to put this metal house is out in the hill country where there are a lot of critters of course but the sun and heat just ravages thing over time, there’s also a possibility of flooding ( I’m not on a hill unfortunately) about every 8 to 10 years so I have to take that into consideration as well. I have no idea what I’m doing and still have a lot to learn about the ins and outs of doing this.
Good video
Wow thanks you
I have a small, wooded, level lot in very sandy central Florida. If you did it's endless sand. I'd like to partially clear it, compact it and drop in a bunch of #57 in the form of a driveway to a clearing patch in the middle. But not just compact enough to drive over, but also a base for an eventual foundation for small/lightweight metal frame single story offgrid house. Is this possible and are their specific requirements I need to meet in Florida?
