If there are any Migraine sufferers, stay away from AG1. I tried it, and within 60 seconds, I got triggered. My neurologist has informed me that he has other patients who have had the same reaction to AG1. You have been warned.
I can't really afford a membership you all ((guys))¹ought to do like a q&a to win a membership for a month😮.... a one month period for answering a question that has to do with watching one of the videos that anyone can watch for instance!! like in this episode what did Jamie👷♂️ say to the plumber👨🔧?? LOL I think that would be funny not to mention give people like me a chance to be a member at least a month I guess even maybe a 2-week. So we can watch some of the member videos 😉😎🤠😍😍
Let’s all wrap our heads around what it takes to CUSTOM BUILD, because that’s what the Perkins Builder Brothers DO! Everything is taken step by step and adjusted as needed, all while the blue prints guide them in the specifics of the path to follow. I am no builder, but I can see how these guys are experienced, logical, practical, and dead on in each and every build according to what problems present themselves as they go along. Honestly their skills are fabulous in my esteem! Just what anyone would want in their custom build. Bravo to the Brothers and their amazing team!!!
I own a plumbing business and when you do custom homes the plan can change 100 times but thats why custom homes pay better but they can be a headache. Keep up the great work fellas!!!
I’ve done quite a bit of forming with both Symon’s and Gates systems… Ties for 11’ height depends on the type used… usually that height you’d see something like starting at the bottom first 4 @ 1’ spacing then 2’ to the top. The ‘bracing’ isn’t bracing… they are turnbuckles to plumb the walls - they aren’t intended to hold back the wall. The ties are the ‘bracing’ in two sided forming systems. Not enough ties or missing some? Opens up like a zipper when the liquid head of concrete hits it… Plumb your corners and string line. Often put a 4’ level inside at a corner to get it 100%. The walls are engineered so the calculation is in the for exterior load.
There’s no such thing as a completely resolved project prior to building. I wish I worked with builders as proactive and thoughtful as you guys…it would make my professional life a lot more enjoyable.
to retrieve tools dropped inside of forms: use a metal tube such as emt with a loop of tie wire (longer than the tube so you can synch it tight from the top of the tube). use it like a dog catcher to to grab the tool and fish it up.
Love the speech at the end, that's all the experience in the world knowing when u can start and what can move forward, doing exactly enough but not too much where things need to come apart or be redone. I'm gonna build a shed soon and its only 10x12 and i could plan every fastner and brace if i wanted but buildings kinda just build themselves things come to gether and u solve it from there
I would re stack the panels on the palette after the finished wall is complete and high lift them over the wall. Carrying each one back out is just a time burn. Love the channel and the crew.!
In big commercial construction, we see Requests for Information (RFI) come through all the time. This house is nudging into that type of work. Y’all have been doing great.
Anyone calling out starting before having all of that paperwork in your hand has probably never done a major project in their life. Especially one requiring multiple teams and disciplines. Nothing you guys have done has really worried me, take on the safe knowns, identify and address issues as early as possible, and minimize costly changes (like deciding to move the entire house footprint after the foundation was poured). I’m anxious to see the concrete getting poured!
I’m just so impressed by your attention to detail. Small adjustments to ensure a square and plumb job is the difference between okay and excellent. Thinking ahead is the key to success! 👍
It’s fun you mention comments about not havin construction documents finished cause I feel like I send so many things out to bid that are enough info for a bid set and we’re still struggling to deal with open questions, permit comments, or a sudden request from our client agency. I do construction project management for a municipality and sometimes we just gotta keep things moving for a hundred good reasons like y’all mentioned too. It’s cool how most the same concerns, issues, and hang ups all scale up/down for any size and type of project. By the way, thanks for all the knowledge sharing and fun times. These are so awesome and remind me why I love construction, even as someone that was tryin to be an architect 😂
It’s kinda funny seeing the different ways people do things, we use symon forms all the time we build our rebar mat 20’ sections on the ground and stack them then fly them one at a time with a tele-handler. We also build 15’ wall sections on the ground and fly those with the JCB. Goes really quick but it’s for dairies and we have to get it done quick.
You're building that place , like it's Fort Knox !!! I think it would pass . What kind of house is this going to be ??? I LOVE YOU ALL @ P.B.B. !!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I really enjoy watching your videos especially the mega house at your building right now. What a great bunch of guys you have working for you. It’s a blessing as a retired contractor. I can appreciate what you do every day. Have a great day, Butch.
Finding the entrance into the secret squirrel matrix maze to get to see a Perkins Crew Builders Reel early...Priceless... Another advantage with using form work panels for the concrete walls, instead of having to smash a block at the bottom to get a tool that's dropped down inside the blocks out, with the panels its just a matter of taking off the panel where the tool has fallen down besides to get to the tool then reinstalling the panel again. Cheers for a spicy reel Eric, exceptional work Perkins Crew.
Just thought about this while they were talking about the door opening at the end; it may be a good idea to have some diagonal re-entrant bars at the corner of the door opening. These will help prevent you from seeing cracks in the corner over time
i learned to do walls with symon wall forms. They are identical to the forms you are using. We would use plumb bobs to plumb our walls that were stacked and stiff backs were used. Quick tip: to remove tight wedge bolts push up on the locking bolt with your finger while hitting the head of the bolt holding the wall tie.
Good morning to you all, i am always watching you guys and happy to see that all can smile and laugh even tired already. Be safe and God bless you all ❤
We just got back to Charleston SC after vacationing up there and I'm dead set on moving to somewhere in the blue ridge and having the boys build our house. I have a new respect for the work y'all do. The camera doesn't do the mountains justice.
This so far has been the best one I can’t wait to see this poured and all that stuff removed to see the final concrete wall, it’s been a juicy little recording this one very interesting seeing you do something new
Regarding taking the forms down after the pour, you should rig up some stairs or a ramp up and over the wall so you've got a straight shot! It might save you the marathon of going around the whole foundation.
Great to see you guys are connecting with the studpack guys - they're a great group. You and the studpack channel are the only construction channels I watch, lol.
Yes Erik formwork carpenter’s definitely go back to plumb and straighten everything after, working with a level as you go helps the forms come together nicer, we always string the forms by nailing or clamping a block to the face of the form then using a block to go along and straighten, sometimes having to add a brace to achieve straight. Good job taking on something new and it seems like a great skill set to continue using in the future to capture all profits possible. You also sleep better knowing you did everything yourself too your liking
Adding to the crews ability to do this new construction is a huge plus I bet there's people sitting on land that are trying to solve this very situation another skill in y'all's bag's I would be nervous but you can always figure it out love this build series thanks
I wonder what the cost of contracting that our to professionals vs them doing it there selfs. I set form fills all the time in Southern Ontario and it goes up pretty darn fast and gets poured. Now these are housing development builders as in the are making 20+ new houses in an area all at once. I went over to one the forms were different. They were all like 18ft or so of only single panels put up by sections with prefab re-bar sections. No amount of rebar tying of like you guys go through. Maybe the difference is that everyone in Southern ontario has a full 10ft celling basement.
I really like that you guys take the time to explain what you're doing. Although you may feel like you're having to explain something to a 4 year old, it really helps me know what is going on.
Love your channel. You talked about starting the project before the engineering was completed. In my experience both as a superintendent, project manager on the commercial construction side most cities and counties during plan check won’t give you a permit to build unless the plans have all the structural engineering plans submitted at the same time.
Good job guys I did that concrete wall for like 10 years with the union and we used string lines and spacers for the top of wall cause sometimes the wall get thinner from to much pressure from the ties justa tip.Overall you guys doing good that s what I called man work weight to see when you do Perry forms.
Can we take a second to show some respect to the owner for being a top shelf guy and both allowing us to live his dream and giving so much time to the PBB crew in helping them out so much! Honestly so many others would be like "not today, walk away" then go off at the first little deviation. You sir know just how much things change on the fly and are present to see any changes, that is special. The Perkins crew have your back too, and whatever they miss the "comments" will always pick up. Kind of that third person/fresh eyes overwatch..... Please share your knowledge with Erik, he is doing well on his own however nothing beats a skilled teacher! Erik, Jayson would seriously give your wife a lot of money if you had a mullet.....lol Seriously guys, someone needs to get a "Batwing" style awning on a vehicle. Perfect for rain, lunch breaks or just chilling. For the folks that just don't know, the "Ten Commandments" are the only plans ever set in stone. Everything else can and will change!
When we pour concrete decks or podiums our concrete subcontractors always check the diagonals. Most of them use the cad files to get measurements to put into surveying so it’s quick. On the general side we check their numbers the old school way. We also have the surveyor put multiple grid lines down on the deck to check everything.
What’s up PBB, still loving your content, taking a break from the floor ( VA hospital nurse in WNY) helps me get through my day! Keep up the great work, all the boys in the crew. !
Hey y’all love the videos, I’m a carpenter but did poured walls for bout 15yr, I always would check some diagonals and dimensions, you can kick, or even sometimes roll long walls to get them to the right dimensions, also have retrieved tools from inside the forms after we poured just have to hold it to outside form w/a 2x4 and chip it out after lol, love the videos, I build a lot of decks now, miss pouring walls, great to see you doing it yourself, your doing excellent, keep up the good work
Watching you guys get drenched makes me chuckle, I feel your pain. I am in Japan for work right now and it is rainy season here. When it rains, it rains all day long - 12 solid hours of rain.
Really enjoy your guys content. I know that it takes a lot of work and effort to film jobs, be productive, and edit video’s. You guys have my respect.. my favorite channel on TH-cam
the design-build process is very common. I was a structural engineer and every project I worked on, including 12 story buildings, were still being ironed out even when foundations were being poured. It seems silly to do but it works!
It’s informative to watch your videos and to see you and Jamie bounce ideas and questions off each other. I can tell there is a wealth of information inside both your heads from the years you two have been building. I think it’s great that you can make changes on the fly to get the best outcome for your customer. Our family is here in Waynesville this week and we took a ride through a couple of mountain communities and it’s definitely a tight road to travel with just a pickup, let alone to try and get materials on large trucks up the mountain. It’s beautiful down here. Thanks for the videos and I look forward to the next ones.
Building is just like warfare. You can have the most comprehensive and detailed battle plans but as soon as the battle is started you immediately have to make changes. Because there will ALWAYS be things that happen that no one or group will think about. I remember decades ago, locally, they were starting to put in the footers for a multistory building and when they started digging the trenches to pour the concrete into they discovered they were building on top of an old prairie dog town. They were required to dig the entire footprint of the building nearly 20 foot deep and then pack all of that dirt back into the hole (plus some extra) before they could dig the trenches for the footers. That was to insure that the slab did not start to sink as the tunnels the prairie dogs dug eventually started to collapse under the floor causing the soil to settle and the floor with it.
@@lynnszen They almost couldn't make it in '74!! Brooks had to find someone else as the Sherriff as Pryor had some public drug problems. The original guy they hired to be Waco Kid collapsed on set because he was a recovering alcoholic. The studio kept objecting to everything ranging from the farting camp scene, and the constant swearing, and then they got sued by Hedy Lamarr herself! To top it off, when they finally wrapped it up the studio contemplated just not putting out and writing it off as a loss. Brooks convinced them to put it out to a few theaters and it ended up being the biggest hit of the summer. There's a whole documentary on it, definitely a must-see if you're a fan of the film!
0:56 😂😂😂😂 love Jay! Great episode Eric, thanks. Very much enjoyed the variety in this, including Jamie's explanation near the end and your joint discussion on the engineering plans (or not 😉) Enjoy your week.
Hi from Minnesota .You Guys are the BOMB! Jason talking how he gets the girls to funny. What a comedian . I worked construction for 29 years for a local Electric and Gas utility. We were just like you guys. Worked hard but had a lot of fun. Keep the videos coming. Your crew could work the comedy circuit for sure.
Jamie, have you ever thought about getting a magnet finger you could swap out? Maybe with a slot to hold a nail/screw aligned like on the top of a hammer?
I have been doing structural design for 35 years. It is very typical to start before everything is 100%. We even do fast track projects where the issue for construction drawings are phased for the different elements of the project as construction is proceeding. I will say it is extremely stressful for engineers since they can be working on 5 to 20 projects (depending on the size of the projects) at any one time and you don't know what issues will come up. Sometimes issues come up on all projects at one time and schedules constantly change. At the same time you have to ensure the structure is safe.
You could use some hoisting equipment instead of handling and lifting everything by hand. Here in NL you won't see a jobsite without some sort of (mini)crane or reachloader, save your backs and work faster, good for everybody. IDK how easy it is to find/rent that kind of equipment there though.
Jamaal Rose. With Rose builders! I’m sure you guys all ready know but make sure to re check walls as you pour concrete. I would pour those walls in 3 sections . Bracing will move as you pour . So at the very end re check walls!
You guys should invest in a builders level. You can set it up and transfer elevations all day long. and you can check string lines on your block walls, hook your tape on any top plate and double check yourselves. I saves a lot of worry.
Yay! Didn't think we were getting a midweek episode this week after Ray's upload yesterday. That's made my evening... That was very much Blazing Saddles, not City Slickers, though.
Love your videos. MOST shaped steel is described by height first then weight per linear foot. A W-beam means it has a wider than a standard, also known as an I-beam, top/bottom flange. Web & flanges are usually a little thicker. We won’t even go into the differences in an H-beam. As I said, love your videos.
looks like you guys are doing things right and keeping mindful though of what be the next hurtle. though id would put more strong backs on tall walls concrete has unbelievable weight also pour slow and consistently don't over vibrate
Hey Eric, digging that “All American” Truewerk 4th of July special outfit… Looking good my brother… And as always, enjoying being taken along on yet another Perkins Crew build… This mega sized build is definitely one for the record books… Can’t wait to see how it unfolds… Hopefully the rain will let up enough to give some dry working days so you don’t have to keep running for cover… Lol… Always a treat watching you guys harmoniously work together… Perkins quality and attention to detail every time… Love it!!!…

OK need to keep some pinchers in somebodies car. You know for a possible dropped hammer.😂
Doing this type of work for over 20 years , your explanation of the process is fantastic. You actually speak in a way laymen can understand.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
And that's why I love this TH-cam channel! Thank you, Perkins Brothers!

The Blazing Saddles reference really sets you guys apart from the pack!!! Well done my friends 😊😊😊
to retrieve tools dropped inside of forms: use a metal tube such as emt with a loop of tie wire (longer than the tube so you can synch it tight from the top of the tube). use it like a dog catcher to to grab the tool and fish it up.

We're gonna need an entire playlist dedicated to these walls
Anyone calling out starting before having all of that paperwork in your hand has probably never done a major project in their life. Especially one requiring multiple teams and disciplines. Nothing you guys have done has really worried me, take on the safe knowns, identify and address issues as early as possible, and minimize costly changes (like deciding to move the entire house footprint after the foundation was poured). I’m anxious to see the concrete getting poured!
I’m just so impressed by your attention to detail. Small adjustments to ensure a square and plumb job is the difference between okay and excellent. Thinking ahead is the key to success! 👍
You guys are one of my happy little spots on the internet.

👍👍👍👍👍👍
This was done in the right way and more than likley saving the homeowners money$$$$
For Perkin build team, it seems like every working day is so fun.
It’s kinda funny seeing the different ways people do things, we use symon forms all the time we build our rebar mat 20’ sections on the ground and stack them then fly them one at a time with a tele-handler. We also build 15’ wall sections on the ground and fly those with the JCB. Goes really quick but it’s for dairies and we have to get it done quick.
Thinking next Thursday you all will hit the million mark!
Hope Jaime passed on my Howdy to the rest of you all!
These guys are the beat! So real with changes that always happen. I would hire these guys in a heartbeat!!!

Another advantage with using form work panels for the concrete walls, instead of having to smash a block at the bottom to get a tool that's dropped down inside the blocks out, with the panels its just a matter of taking off the panel where the tool has fallen down besides to get to the tool then reinstalling the panel again.

i love this project. I've used those forms for many different applications. The form oil is a manly type of cologne.

Best episode yet
Can we take a second to show some respect to the owner for being a top shelf guy and both allowing us to live his dream and giving so much time to the PBB crew in helping them out so much! Honestly so many others would be like "not today, walk away" then go off at the first little deviation.

I hope that one day my construction business here in New Zealand will grow like yours guys.. Good job 👏 👍
So nice to see the little community building, stud pack and Perkins. Maybe one day you both will get to work on something together.
Keep your eyes peeled!

Ten days 100 percent. Y'all are amazing...lee funny! Excited for another epic build!
Would be great if you talked a bit about pros and cons of this way of doing a poured foundation vs. the CMUs you normally do.
Perkins Thursday could not have come sooner. ❤
You need a portable towercrane, put those boards togetter on the ground hang sections from 10 or15 foot wide in the crane and place them
Former bridge builder here, we definitely string line and pull corners to tighten everything up before the pour
😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜
Wow, what a production! Looking forward to seeing the pour.
LMAO, Blazing Saddles camp scene.
Yeah thats what I thought…..I remember laughing so hard at that movie when I was a kid.
The utter disrespect to Mel Brooks confusing Blazing Saddles with City Slickers...
😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😁😁
I have the movie on DVD and watch it about once a month. Given the current social climate, a film like this wouldn't be made today.
@@lynnszen They almost couldn't make it in '74!! Brooks had to find someone else as the Sherriff as Pryor had some public drug problems. The original guy they hired to be Waco Kid collapsed on set because he was a recovering alcoholic. The studio kept objecting to everything ranging from the farting camp scene, and the constant swearing, and then they got sued by Hedy Lamarr herself! To top it off, when they finally wrapped it up the studio contemplated just not putting out and writing it off as a loss. Brooks convinced them to put it out to a few theaters and it ended up being the biggest hit of the summer.
There's a whole documentary on it, definitely a must-see if you're a fan of the film!
0:56 😂😂😂😂 love Jay! Great episode Eric, thanks. Very much enjoyed the variety in this, including Jamie's explanation near the end and your joint discussion on the engineering plans (or not 😉) Enjoy your week.
Thanks for another great episode!
"It's going to take Max like a week to carry all these panels out."
Treating the intern 100% correctly.
Hi from Minnesota .You Guys are the BOMB! Jason talking how he gets the girls to funny. What a comedian . I worked construction for 29 years for a local Electric and Gas utility. We were just like you guys. Worked hard but had a lot of fun. Keep the videos coming. Your crew could work the comedy circuit for sure.
Thanks for the video, good luck to Perkins Builders Brother.
Putting a little prebend outward in the wall also helps because concrete is strong in compression, but not in tension.
23:44. I think it just shows how well you manage projects. If you wait for the 100% solution you’ll never start.
Jamie, have you ever thought about getting a magnet finger you could swap out? Maybe with a slot to hold a nail/screw aligned like on the top of a hammer?
I'm excited for framing!!
Use the skid steer and a pallet and pile the forms on the pallet OVER the wall.
I can't wait till the pour. I have no idea what those walls are for...but soon! Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to al
I have been doing structural design for 35 years. It is very typical to start before everything is 100%. We even do fast track projects where the issue for construction drawings are phased for the different elements of the project as construction is proceeding. I will say it is extremely stressful for engineers since they can be working on 5 to 20 projects (depending on the size of the projects) at any one time and you don't know what issues will come up. Sometimes issues come up on all projects at one time and schedules constantly change. At the same time you have to ensure the structure is safe.
You could use some hoisting equipment instead of handling and lifting everything by hand.
Here in NL you won't see a jobsite without some sort of (mini)crane or reachloader, save your backs and work faster, good for everybody. IDK how easy it is to find/rent that kind of equipment there though.
Riding me hard. I like that description of pressure.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Jamaal Rose. With Rose builders! I’m sure you guys all ready know but make sure to re check walls as you pour concrete. I would pour those walls in 3 sections . Bracing will move as you pour . So at the very end re check walls!
Hi
All the way from London. New to your channel and loving all of the videos.😊
You guys should invest in a builders level. You can set it up and transfer elevations all day long. and you can check string lines on your block walls, hook your tape on any top plate and double check yourselves. I saves a lot of worry.
Great video as always! Keep em coming.
You guys are awesome
"It's a good idea but that's probably not what I'm gonna do..."
BANG BANG BANG BANG
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Eric with the edits hahaha
Laser distance measurer would be really handy for these long diagonal checks
The foundation of a house normally looks small. When the foundation looks big, the house is gonna be massive.... Looking forward to it.
Yay! Didn't think we were getting a midweek episode this week after Ray's upload yesterday. That's made my evening...
That was very much Blazing Saddles, not City Slickers, though.
Love your videos. MOST shaped steel is described by height first then weight per linear foot. A W-beam means it has a wider than a standard, also known as an I-beam, top/bottom flange. Web & flanges are usually a little thicker. We won’t even go into the differences in an H-beam. As I said, love your videos.
String line using a 3/4 board at all corners and then take another 3/4 small block to check the Walls
Awesome!!!!
looks like you guys are doing things right and keeping mindful though of what be the next hurtle. though id would put more strong backs on tall walls
concrete has unbelievable weight also pour slow and consistently don't over vibrate
Hey Eric, digging that “All American” Truewerk 4th of July special outfit… Looking good my brother… And as always, enjoying being taken along on yet another Perkins Crew build… This mega sized build is definitely one for the record books… Can’t wait to see how it unfolds… Hopefully the rain will let up enough to give some dry working days so you don’t have to keep running for cover… Lol… Always a treat watching you guys harmoniously work together… Perkins quality and attention to detail every time… Love it!!!…
He looks like the Atlanta Braves Freeze.
Yeah… 😂… I agree… 🤣
City slickers - great movie - classic! Guys will be guys!!!
Video is awesome
Have you ever built a foundation wall with icf? We built or basement with icf, and it was actually a little fun! 😂 kinda like playing with legos!
That 4th of July special makes it look like it was pajama day at work 😂
Great job 👍
I learned alot watching your team
12:58 you have plenty of string onsite. tie a cinch knot,drop it over the hammer handle, and jerk a knot in it. lift it out
