- A concrete block foundation can be a good option for building an addition. it is a cost effective way to do a crawl space foundation. One of the most important aspects of making a block foundation last is proper backfill and drainage. We backfilled this one with stone up against the wall and the soil behind that. The walls are parged with Comproco a fiberglass reinforced block bond. This adds strength and also water proofs the walls.
I appreciate the facts that you told that guy to reposition himself on the top of that truck and also told the truck driver to stay off the neighbor's yard.
Yes thanks for noticing that bud.
Building additions and houses in the philly area for over 30 years...Next time you're setting up block for laying; have a few guys going from the block to each spot. Swing each block to the next guy...Saves your back...Laborers, ran well, save a lot of wear and tear...You guys are lucky...Here, we need 12 Inch Semi solid up to grade...Also, when parging in the outside, run mud on the footer with a pitch so you don't get wash out between the footer and the block...before you seal coat it... The block guys were good mechanics....
Good tips thank you. We did run a bevel on the bottom like you say with the parge coat. Just the width of a margin trowel.
BIG BISCUIT IS THE MAN !!! YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF HIS WORK ETHICS ! BRUTE STRENGTH💪
better be paying him 40 or 50 bucks an hour then.
Awesome video!!. These guys' work looks super neat and professional, small crew and excellent results ....true professional 🔥💯👌🏽
Thank you so much.
Beautiful job, love the attention to the details 👍
thank you
Not a cement/concrete guy but shouldn't you fill all the cores or just the ones with rebar?
Nice work - surprised the basement wasn’t deeper - hard to tell head height. Nice drainage destination in the back yard. I would have suggested a property line retaining wall for future!
I think they mentioned that it's a crawl space, not a full basement. Probably just need enough headroom for plumbing, electrical, and HVAC runs to the new addition.
@@PongoXBongo makes sense, thx!
No need. Plenty of pitch on both properties going towards the lake. The neighbor could always do french drain lines between properties going towards the lake
If they are using 12" nominal CMU then the depth is 6 foot before the floor, so about 5' 7" finished.
@@RH-cv1rgI’m sure there’s a reason, but personally I’d think another foot would make it much easier to work in - especially for anyone over that height.
Dam, nice job. How much this cost to do??
Like seeing the lake when you have jobs there. Grew up near the lake in Northern Niagara County, been in KS since 90s.
It is nice working on the lake. Tight space usually though.
I can’t believe he grabbed them power wires like that
That wasn't power. That was Cable TV and fiber optics. Power is the top wire. Middle is telephone. We used to call Ma Belle. And bottom is cable tv and fiber optics.
@@chrislangdell117 well no offense but not everyone knows that like myself. I still wouldn’t dare touch them. I’ve seen some gruesome vids. Lol
You're burning the biscuit
He is doing it I know.
Nice view
@@beingabdaal950 yes it was 😊
@@bondobuilt386 *_ Geez, why are so many Americans SO FAT.... Holy Sh!t? _*
Most of the time when I look that red it's not actually sunburn I turn red when I'm hot we use lots of sunblock through the summer.
Big biscuit
Several years ago I started adding a key way of 1”x10”, it’s nothing fancy but I feel like it adds a layer of strength and gives the bevel of parging a better chance of success, just my 2 cents, take from it what you will, cheers!
Nice view, along the sea...great job
Thanks. This is Oneida Lake in New York State.
How is it you are lucky enough to get so many Lake front jobs? LOL Beautiful views, but usually very tight circumstances, and property lines fiercely protected. They literally fight over inches, instead of feet. Very nice work, especially in such a tight job site. I can see a neighborhood war coming about water runoff, after the first good rain, lol 🤦♂️😳😂😉
Thanks The neighbors were cool and we talked about the water and there is a nice ditch between the houses that drains to the lake. Also we made sure to have drains to catch the gutters.
@@bondobuilt386 I figured you would have all your ducks in a row, your attention to detail is obvious, it sounds like you were a bit lucky on this one, I’ve done more than a few lakefront jobs, and neighbors can be very trying, just glad at this point to be an armchair quarterback, my mason days are far behind me now. 👍👌😉
Looks good as always ya got a good crew they r hard working guys
thanks Gary
Nice work good clean job all round 👍 👍
thanks Tim
That was fast and neat. Came out great
thanks
✨👍. Great job. Do you do all of NYS? I'm in Upstate NY near Buffalo... Getting ready to sell ... Moving South...But I would love to refer you to anyone looking to buy my house...Thanks for the simple explanation of what you're doing... Would be great to have a picture of finished addition ✨🤗
No worries about vacuum thrust for rebar in fondation ? And also there is no vertical rebar in the fondation ??
Great show. What I don't get is, the two big boys are working so hard, how the hell are they not slim? They should be losing 20 lbs per day doing this the way they move.
Because of their wife’s 😂
Very beautiful work… But I don’t see waterproofing… That’s how you guys doing in NY?
Next time you need to put stone inside a wall, just get it put on a mixer and shoot it out in there. You only need a little water just to get the stones wet, works really good.
Ya I know you can do it that way but hard to get a concrete truck to deliver the stone and twice the cost. We had to get it done fast and it only took us about 1-1/2 hours to do all that stone.
Using a slinger truck ...No big deal. That's what track hoe was for
Why no waterproofing the wall??
Why no insulation
Why no mind ur busy
Great job, nice video. Knowing what not to do makes for excellence. Any need for a floor drain in that crawl space?
Just a thought. You sloped the dirt towards the neighbor's lawn next to the garage. Do not be surprised when those lovely neighbors complain that the runoff of rain floods their yard. Also shouldn't you run the filter fabric up along the wall and over the stone along the wall, cover the fabric on top of the stone then put dirt against the fabric? Without the fabric on top that dirt will eventually end up mixed with the stone and clogging it up defeating the function of the stone.
the stone down low has the cloth over it to keep dirt out of the stone. The neibors were involved in how we pitched the grade. There is a nice channel between both the houses.
It already sloped that way. They didn't change the flow of water through the property.
The foam board will keep everything from mixing...Plus all stone will drain better..and being on the sides it won't be affected by runoff ..They're is plenty of options for drainage since the lake is right there. If you're going to have a house near the water...Then you should be prepared to do proper drainage around your property
Another good job Bondo
Thanks
I'm just across the Lake O from here. Couple of things I noticed are different.
Have you got 4 foot frost cover from finished grade to underside of footings? You parged, but no damp proofing (tar)? Was that an oversight? I've noticed in several videos done around north eastern US that you pin your block to the footings and fill cores with concrete. I've even seen bloc-loc (wire reinforcement) every three courses. The wall is restrained at the bottom by the slab and at the top with the floor structure. Is this a code thing for you?
He also doesn’t have any vertical rebar in the block so technically the only thing holding the block wall to the footing is the mortar that the block was set in😮
Good job Bud.
thanks uncle Jim.
Excellent job guys. Damn!
Great job !!!
Thanks
What a beautiful work!
Nice work!!
thanks
I always used B-bond to parg the block because it added strength and is more water proof the just mortar.
Was it just me or did anyone else have visions of Mad Maxx when Biscuit was riding the front of the concrete truck!!!
Is tar no longer used on exterior foundation underground?
The parge coat we use now does not need tar coating. The old mortar parge did.
That Sea Biscuit sure is a hard worker 💪👍
What good is drilling rebar into the foundation or placing the rebar in the cells after the wall is poured? All you had to do was layout the center line of the wall and measure the cell locations and L shaped rebar. The vertical bonds are no good with no connection to rebar in footing. Plus, backfilling on freshly laid block wall?
This is code compliant we do not need hook downs in our footings in this part of the country. We backfilled with stone against the wall. basically no pressure on the wall. also only a short wall. a full basement we would wait for the wood cap to be framed and wall to cur longer.
Y'all make it look too easy - I'm over here on my couch thinking that I can do this too!
Rocks get dumped into wheelbarrow to then be dumped two feet away. 12:45
Hello, Mr. George
Another nice job. The Governor
Thanks
Looks good. Is that in Bridgeport by chance?
Just past Bridgeport in Lakeport.
Beautiful work team. If yall were in SC I'd hire ya in a heart beat.
Now thats a nice pool!
LOL
Belts would make a good company gift…😅
I think we need suspenders. LOL
you guys do nice work but why put roof water down on your footer gutter debris will eventually cause a problem just run another run of solid pipe above
We usually run 2 pipes but that is how they engineered it.
Nice job!😎👌👍
You do damn nice work Bondo. Have a spotted cow on me!
He needs to come to WI for that
Thanks Joe.
You run a tight ship, great job!
Came out nice!!
thanks Robbie
Curious, what are doing as a floor for this project? Looking at the “same type” of build but would like to pour a concrete floor. Better off backfill completely? Thanks
They are doing 2x10 floor joist and then plywood then hardwood floors.
Looks great!
thanks John
Beautiful work.
Thanks
Bonjour, dommage la fin de la vidéo montre que vous ne remplissez pas les bloc creux de béton. Pourtant c'était du bon travail, sauf qu'il manque cette étape pour réellement solidifié le mur. Dans le temps un mur creux s'affaisse ou se brise avec les mouvements de terrain ainsi que le poids qui lui vient contre.
Turned out nice guys!
Thanks Frank
121👍's up B B thank you for sharing
Thanks Scott
Need to fill all the blocks with concrete, no?
really not recommended to drop the gutter water into the foundation drain pipe, only asking for inevitable problems in the future.
I agree.
Good job. Thanks for sharing and have a great day.
thanks bud.
do you fill the entire wall with concrete?
Why do you pour a floor for a crawl space?
Looks fine....except....how are they going to handle the neighbor's complaint with the new grade change and the storm water flooding their property?
What was the total cost to build this?
Oh my God. Please don't ever let anyone do that again. The guy can be on the ground with a piece of PVC pipe and a slight notch cut in it to lift the wire. A board could be used as well but the PVC pipe would be better. inch and a half id or od. In this neck of the woods those bare wires would be before the transformer and in the low thousands of volts and he came close to dying that day. He didn't feel some hair standing up as it was? the truck wasn't grounding, not enough water for that, maybe .Good luck in the future and thanks for the video.
what lake is this? You mentioned upstate NY but I couldn't understand you when you pronounced the name of the lake.
Oneida Lake.
Damn, biscuit is well-done. Get that guy some sunscreen!
I have one word for Big Biscuit: SPF50. He's going to regret those sunburns when they're carving off the skin cancer in his sixties. I know I do, having worked outside most of my life and now am on a first name basis with the dermatologist.
I try and tell him that. Kids. SMH
So let me get this straight in the opening scene he tells a truck to reposition itself after it rubs power lines then tells it to stay off his neighbors lawn?
And your point is?? LOL
@bondobuilt386 I just never seen someone so relaxed when his truck is touching potential power lines. Diffrent countries I guess.
Where was the plasta that was one the walls earlier ...😮😮...did you removed if before you cast the floor??
Those ties to existing building look concerning 15mins into video.. Block structure is on a different foundation to the house foundation so if there is movement over the years = cracking. Movement joint ties do you have them in the States ?
Where are the crawlspace vents.?
They spray foamed the inside walls and it was all conditioned space under there.
would have made sense to have all that gravel inside the wall before erecting it.
Interesting, is there a reason why you dont waterproof the wall prior to back fill? I know its not a livable space but since you put a slab inside I would think youd also waterproof..... Not trying to be a smartass, legitimate question.
The parge coat we used is a water proofer and we backfilled with stone and have a drain to daylight. It will be bone dry down there.
Thank you, appreciate you educating me on that. @@bondobuilt386
how far down do you have to go for frost? you must be in the states?
Yes New York State and we have a 48" frost line
@@bondobuilt386 what's the frost line like in Canada?
I do not know as we do not build in Canada but I am sure it varies to the area. further north you go it will be deeper. @@redsresearch
@@bondobuilt386 pretty sure its 8 feet
how much does one cubic meter of concrete cost?
We buy it by the cubic yard. 3'X3'X3' and it cost close to $200 with all the fees
I would put expansion foam around the perimeter on the bottom of the block wall before pouring the floor because the concrete floor pad could expand and knock the bottom of your cinder block wall loose.
I would have put drainage weep lines next to footer on inside with dimple board and gap between the inside wall and floor
hi boss., is it possible to apply for a job in your construction?.
thank you
That' was really square going upward on the foundation.
Awesome job
@8:55 that boy was BURNT
Why waist money on a concrete floor for the crawlspace?
@@cruzzindodge storage under there
What is that level laser called?
Bondo, what area do you guy's work out of? I'd like to build an accessory building in the western Ma/Albany NY area.
Didn't seem like enough steel in the base concrete foundation you poured.....
What part of Oneida Lake is this on, Northside?
What is that beeping tool you're using?
LOL it is the kid Steer backing up.
Lol...I meant the tool you had in your hand. I researched and found out it's a laser level. I've always wanted one but didnt know what it was called or the brand name(?)
You guys did an absolute amazing and beautiful job with that wall! WOW! Impressive!!
@@tiffanyfisher1805 Well thank you Tiffany 😀
6:00 oh no be careful with that insulation and don't cook yourself Biscuit!
You work as close to me as Oneida lake?!?!?! Where are you located and are you taking new jobs? How can I contact you? We can't get anybody to even return a call and we're running out of time! We're south east of oneida lake.
Sorry, one question, in the USA you have the highest % of crime, we in EE don't have that high, but despite this, our properties have fences, we have cameras for the outside, in your case no one can see where everyone's property is, so you can Everyone comes in and you can't do anything, so you have to run out and point out that it's someone else's property, right?
Are you doing this to save money, or is there a law that we can't do?
I hate laying block on footings like that. They get in the way. Beautiful scenery.
All that work for a crawl space, yuck. Making it a full basement is not that much more work.
do you guys not have to do any waterproofing in your area?
The parge coat is a water proofer. That is all that is required
@@bondobuilt386 i am a mason in east Tennessee i like seeing how different things are built from state to state
Awesome 😀@@stevequesenberry5848
what were the 2 concrete pads for - just curious.
I was wondering the same thing...
My guess ~ they're used as a foundation to build up structural support for the center of the addition. Without them...there wouldn't be any support in the center.
Kinda' like a seemingly "random" wall/pillar in the middle of some homes. They're there to build up off of or to distribute some of the weight from up top.
Just a guess, though. I could be completely off. Lol.
It looks like they’re pads for posts to hold a beam across the foundation, upon which will lay 10’ rafters in each direction front and back.
Do they call footings footers up there? I mean, I know a footer is a part of a document and a footing is a part of a foundation, but maybe it’s different north of the Mason-Dixon Line.
Footings are structural supports that are used in addition to a foundation. They help transfer the load's weight from the foundation into the soil. Footers are typically in direct contact with the ground, while the foundation is in contact with the footing.
Nice work! Have you considered using a ZIPLEVEL High Precision Altimeter on your next projects? ZIPLEVEL is the instrument of choice of most foundation builders. Now, you can unpack in two seconds, and truly work alone with paper-thin precision over unlimited ranges without line-of-sight, distance error, factory calibration or math and pack up case free in under five seconds. After a quarter century with tens of thousands sold globally, ZIPLEVEL remains the world's only rugged, anti-bubble pressurized High Precision Altimeter with decades of service life.
Why do you do such a nice slab in the crawl space? Nice but I don't see that very often in our area. We see a rough "rat slab" maybe without rock.
Are you ever going to use Ole RED? The Governor
I am putting on the road next week.
Why pour a floor?
The customer wanted to store some stuff down there.
