RENTING The PERFECT Tools For A Crappy Job - Cutting The Concrete Slab For Plumbing
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 พ.ค. 2024
- In this video, Greg and Karlyn (Greg's daughter) cut the concrete slab for our plumbing to our barn house. Greg rented the perfect tools for a crappy job - a walk-behind concrete saw and a jack hammer. The plumber gave specific measurements for them to follow and the cuts end up looking pretty good - Karlyn and Greg on the other hand, pretty messy by the end!
Did you know we are building our barn house out of wood that we are milling on our own sawmill?! If you haven't followed along with our BARN Build, (which is now our barn house build) make sure to check out that series in our playlists. We finished the slab last summer, we milled most of the lumber needed over this past winter and are now starting to prepare to put in another slab for our garage and the rest of the house.
Here is the video where we share our barn plans. Our plans are from @BarnGeek . We are excited to build one of his beautiful barns and turn it into our home.
• Why Do We Think WE CAN...
***We are also so excited to have completed our sawmill cover enclosure (sawmill shed). Definitely check out our Sawmill Playlist to watch it all happen. We have shared the process of building our sawmill cover from the very beginning. We have a Woodland Mills HM130 Max sawmill and we live in North Idaho. The sawmill cover / sawmill shed is vital to continue milling for our barn build in the winter months, but it will also be a great way to keep out of the sun during the summer months, and of course all of the rain, in between!
Here is a link to the video that shares the sawmill cover / sawmill shed build from start to finish:
• Sawmill Cover Build - ...
Here are the specs on the sawmill cover / sawmill shed we built:
3 posts in the front
4 posts in the back
Overall dimensions are 15 feet wide by 36 feet long
Longest beam is 28 feet
Front part of the lean to roof is 11'9" and back is 8'
It will have a 3 :12 pitch
Posts and beams are going to be 7 1/2" x 7 1/2"
We have shared the entire build!

Renting The Perfect Tools For A Crappy Job - Cutting The Concrete Slab For Plumbing
May 2024 - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
It was nice to have Karlyn helping with this project! Messy, but went pretty smoothly. I have a question for you at the end of the video about electrical boxes - if you have any tips! Hope you enjoy this video! 🙂
Breaking up concrete is never fun. At least this wasn't concrete that had spent 50 years getting harder. I did a batch of that for a bathroom remodel last summer.
Congrats to your daughter. Thanks for bringing us along
Hi, Mike- Ohhh, that project sounds rough! 😳
Good to get this project behind us. Definitely a pleasure to have Karlyn here for a few days. Thanks for watching! 😊
Well done, Karlyn! Your hard work these last 4 years has finally paid off! Congratulations! 🎉
Thank you! We are very proud of her! 😊
Nice to have Karlyn’s help, I’m sure!
Definitely! She’s a hard worker. 😊
Aww, Bo! 😊cute little helper!!
Aww, thanks! He loves it out there! 😊
ya I really looking forward to watching you build this home shop that you are going build and all the wood you have cut for it is very nice
Thank you, Wade- we look forward to it, too. And, to bringing you all along. Thanks for watching! 😊
Nice job allowing for repurpose use for utilities, This is why it's so important to get all these into the base before pouring the slab. That does not apply here where you changed use after slab pour but is still an excellant example of the need to get as much as possible done before concrete is poured. Ray
Hi, Ray- We hated cutting into that perfect slab but it had to happen. Hindsight is what it is. Thanks for watching! 😊
@@ourdreaminthewoods I am not being clear I am 100% in support of you cutting into the grade slab. What I was trying to convey is that this thru no fault of yours this is a great example of why it's important to get this done ahead of concrete. Thanks for writing, I enjoy your content and look forward to each new video. Ray
@@user-vn6hi2bi3g Thank you, Ray- we absolutely agree. 😊
Looks like all went well. Things are taking shape! 😊
Thank you! The plumber was happy with the cuts. 😁
Fort Lost in the Woods in Misery is where I had my technical school as a 3E5 in the Air Force.
Many congratulations on the graduation and commissioning!
Thank you, KJ!
Greg did basic training at fort Lenard Wood. It was a hot summer that’s for sure! 😅
Tell your daughter congrats ...another great video and we live 2 hrs east of fort drum
Thank you, Adam- will do. Seems like good country in upstate NY. We look forward to a visit in the fall ! 😊
Karlyn is a "champ!"
She sure is. We are very proud! 😊
On are construction site we would have made relief cuts across, to take out pc. Of Concrete
Hi, Brian- Makes sense to make some relief cuts. We got it done 😁 Thanks for watching! 😁
I bet the shoulders ache from bust' that slab. Nice progress
Thanks, Tim- Definitely a good workout! 🤣
I've missed some of your earlier videos that may have answered this: Why did you not put plumbing in the ground BEFORE you poured the slab?
Does seem to be a shame, to pour the slab ,then cut and weaken it in this way. Must be a reason.
He did address that in a previous video, what was once the shop is now going to be their house.
@@hpw59Ah, yes. I saw that video but my old brain missed the connection. Thank you.
Sorry for the late response-
Yes, definitely a shame to cut that slab we worked so hard on.
Change of plans.
Shop turned house.
At least most of the plumbing is in the back half.
It was a tough pill to swallow, but now we are excited about this change! Thanks for watching! 😊
Thanks, HW, for explaining. Sometimes my day job gets in the way of getting to comments in a timely manner! 🤣
I have to ask...how come all that stuff was not installed before the slab was poured?
This was going to be a timber frame barn, but plans changed. Now it is going to be their timber frame home. This was addressed in a previous video. Life happens.
Hi, Thom- Mike stated it perfectly. It was going to be a barn. Now, it will be our home.
Why are you cutting fresh concrete for plumbing? Why did you not put the plumbing in before you poured?
Hi, we poured this slab about a year ago, thinking it was going to be our barn/shop. Our plans had to change and now we are turning this into our home. 😁
