I’m a Truck Driver Local 700 Teamster. I work for A County Public Works. I do Concrete, Sewer, Pipe n Asphalt work on a small Scale compared you Bondo. I love Construction work, truck, Equipment n tools. I Enjoy working n wish more guys were like ur self n Crew. You do Quality work n are True Craftsman of ur Trade. Much Respect to You Bondo n Crew🤙🔥🇺🇸
Thank you. I'm trying to do something very similar. Seeing you and your team do this multiple times builds my confidence that I can do something similar. THANK YOU. Looking forward to the rest of the stem wall project.
8/3/24..yo Bondo, old guy (79 New Orleans area) watching & enjoying you & crew make hard cc prep & work look sooo easy! Another great video! Stay safe & carry on!✅️👍💪🍺😁
30inch wide footing with a stick of rebar is something I can dig ( I like) in my region where the water table can be higher then normally where it is anywhere else. Super wide footers to displace the weight to a much wider space then a normal situation. Like building a pontoon raft house bigger and more pontoons u have the better results u will have living on the bayou
Great idea to use house wrap to keep that footer dry so that moisture doesn’t wick up into the walls. Love watching those Doodles racing around. Looking forwards walls going up.👍
Right! I see first time on YT somebody thinking of water barrier. Another solution would be tar paper 2x under first layer of ICF - this is what most EU countries require in builders code...
@@mattcampbell3876 Tell that to Big Dog Construction. Watched him do it in a video just today. Seems there is a lot you dont know. Tell me what I don't know.
42:11 don’t see a sweep T, only see a 90. Won’t frost heaving pull the unglued pipe joints apart over time? Or were they glued later on? Enjoy the channel!
hey at the minute 5:25 you have a steak where the outside wall is marked , you said 9 inches away from it is the edge of the footer ....if its a 30 inch footer shouldn't u go 10.5 inches away....just curious if it matters ....i start my project in the spring cheers
Have you ever used those fiberglass re-rods? They weren’t available when I was in business, I don’t know if I would have confidence in their lateral strength, but I don’t have any experience with them. They claim they surpass steel in every way. 🤔
@@kevinhornbuckleI did a little nosing around, I guess there was an issue with slivers in the beginning, but they’ve solved that now, just out of curiosity, what other uses are there for them?
@@Musclecar1972 One is that you can make a masonry fence by driving them into the ground in a row 16” or 24” apart. Tie on wire mesh. Trowel on colorized mortar. No rot. Lasts forever. Later, I will describe some other uses.
@@kevinhornbuckle I know they have to be a lot easier to move around. When I was in business I used to carry 15, 20’ 1/2” rods at a time, to speed my jobs along, and I can tell you, they were heavy! LOL That’s also why I had a reverse replacement on one shoulder, and need the other one done as well. All you needed to be in the masonry business back then was a strong body, and a weak mind! LOL 😂 Thanks for getting back, I never thought about using rod of any kind in that application. 👍
Doing good work. One question one comment.. Ever try the Corning bar? The fiberglass stuff? Seems like its going that way with some of the other guys here on YT. As far as the J-hook thing... Throwing a 3" 90 at the end of the vertical bars shouldn't hurt, right? (Not in the trade, sorry if im dumb.)
@@bondobuilt386 Fair enough. I think the Corning plan is like an hour away from where you guys are... You're in Ithaca right? They have a really cool museum there.. maybe you can swing a trip for the TH-cams
Hi Bondo, Thanks for another informative video, I build home down in Ithaca with Habitat for humanity and we use ICF, I have made use of many of your techniques, what pitch do you put on your perimeter drain pipe
@@simgou199 what ICF manufacturer did you use? I am looking to build with Superform ICF. I am surprised that the ICF manufacturer does not make videos involving Habitat homes as a selling point of ease of construction for other Habitat chapters. What is name of county or name of your Habitat group? I m trying to find a Habitat chapter using ICF closer to WI. Thanks.
When using sewer and drain perforated we always tried to pitch the pipe a little maybe 1/2” per length but usually started top of pipe at top of footing the furthest from exit
I've been following Perkins Builder Brothers and they've been building a fairly large house in their current series, they're like 2 months and 18 episodes in and they're just coming to the end of the concrete work. Your process looks so much more efficient that it probably wouldn't have taken your crew more than a week to complete the concrete, 2 at most.
QUESTION: Hypothetical scenario, Let’s say you’re tasked with building a ICF with 2 levels underground and 1 level above ground. Your hole in the ground is 23’ and you will be using 12” ICF block. What would be the dimensions for your footer? Thanks.
Ok I got to say something, do not mean to be rude but when you shot the camera over to the table with the guy in the green shirt right before I'll show you the blueprints I thought Sure hope there not going to use that big green portable cement mixer for their footings. blame it on my Glioma sorry big green guy don't Hulk out on me.
hi ron, i have a frost protected shallow foundation with radiant heat slab on grade in kent, CT that requires pouring...do you serve this area? it would be great opportunity to video this asce 32 job! please let me know. thank you!
Hi Bondo, I think you need to use a french drain for this job. The pipe drain you are using is not meant for this application. It is meant for a septic drain to drain the waste water coming from the septic tank.
The drain to the creek does it have a one way flow valve, if not when creek floods it floods the drain round house floodingitis noit good long termas you know.

This is great to see! Thanks for sharing.
What a great way to start the weekend - a video from Bondo. Part 1 I hope, I wanna see more as you know 🤣👍
Liked the video. I’m going to need same thing in Southern VA next year. 28 x 40. Never seen tyvek used under a footer like that. Nice job.
You are a great Building Scientist ! Drain that water down and out!
I wanna see the rest of this build. Please post a part 2. Impressive work.
Ditto 👍

Nice trick on the 'jog' by starting with a perfect square. I'll remember that for my next life. 🤣
Nice job, yeah good crew makes the job easier, good to see wide footers,
You guys have way different codes over there,
Good video my friend
nice work!!
Nice work brother. ROW IS THE MAN .👍🏻🇺🇸🐶
Damn Ron......Row can haul ass. He sure is a Nice Friend!
Yes he is my little buddy and he sure is fast. LOL
Great job fella's.
As always
Looks great!
Too bad we can't work as fast as time lapse does 🤣
All good in the concrete hood.....!

Upstate NY doesn't require a certain footer depth below grade?
This will be a frost protected foundation with foam board. Our frost depth is 48' without the foam
good job guys
Progressing nicely guys, good job but no air entrainment on this one?
Their levlers are great for leveling ICF as well
Mexico NY? How are you getting away with such shallow footers when frost depth is ~48”?
frost protection. I have many videos explaining it on my channel.
How far down did you dig for the drain? Then filled the drain full of 1-2's a few inches from surface?
Hi Bondo
Did you put any slope on the footer drain pipe?
Thanks
I'm curious what is your frost depth in NY ( your area? 36" ?
48" deep where I live but this will be frost protected with foam board.
How wrap is permeable correct?
What’s the plan for the frost? Isn’t the frost like 42” or more where you are?
I'm assuming that with the creek that runs by there that the water table is high, and you're not able to dig down below the frost line?
hey at the minute 5:25 you have a steak where the outside wall is marked , you said 9 inches away from it is the edge of the footer ....if its a 30 inch footer shouldn't u go 10.5 inches away....just curious if it matters ....i start my project in the spring cheers
Bondo, I’m in NW PA. Frost line is 44”, how are you able to dig footers at grade basically?
Did you ever use the "Egyptian Laser Level" AKA the water level? I started using a laser in the early 90's.
Hey Bondo, I noticed you don’t glue the joins on the drainage pipes. Is that an issue.
Its gonna leak anyway 😂
You should put thimbles on top of the rebar, or marshmellows
Have you ever used those fiberglass re-rods? They weren’t available when I was in business, I don’t know if I would have confidence in their lateral strength, but I don’t have any experience with them. They claim they surpass steel in every way. 🤔
They are useful for much more than reinforcing concrete.

I have never tried the fiberglass bars yet. a 3" 90 would not hurt but it would be more labor to bend them all and unnecessary in this aplication.
@@bondobuilt386 Fair enough. I think the Corning plan is like an hour away from where you guys are... You're in Ithaca right? They have a really cool museum there.. maybe you can swing a trip for the TH-cams
You can buy 6” sewer and drain and drill holes in it instead of that black pipe
Hi Bondo, Thanks for another informative video, I build home down in Ithaca with Habitat for humanity and we use ICF, I have made use of many of your techniques, what pitch do you put on your perimeter drain pipe
Do you have any video of using ICF with Habitat for Humanity homes? It’s a great way to save on labor for Habitat homes.
@@ToddBizCoach Sorry I don't have any video, it definitely saves on labour as we can set them up with our volunteers
Hi. Thanks. We do not put a pitch on the drain just run it flat but the exit line should have pitch.

Down south they just dig with a mini excavator and fill it with rebar and concrete
Yep. Dat's cuz we is lazy down here. Some sayz cuz we got no frozen ground so we don't need it, but really it cuz we lazy.
thank you
Got to be real close to the flood plane
What’s the frost depth. Don’t you need to be below frost line. Your not in Florida thank you
I thought conveyors on big wide open jobs like these are for bud light drinkers?.......or are you giving them a bit of a break today 😁😄
Rebar layout appears not right. Only one line of rebar.
BIG BISCUIT

Them perkin builders are a joke
@@mikejones9992 I wouldn't go that far, their construction game is pretty tight overall, but their concrete game is weak compared to Bondo..
Perkins are running a show. They stretch it to make the drama happen with plenty talking.
Insulating Concrete Form *(ICF)*
Without simi-permeable wrap around that drain pipe, the pipe will get clogged with dirt.
Maybe I’m missing something
Nice work otherwise
We put fabric over the stone before backfilling.
I’ve seen that fabric clog up and not let water into the pipe. I wouldn’t want it around the pipe
@@gjones5153

3’ frost line
no one come put their initials in the footing or the date?? that was big and people put a coin from the yr etc in it for good luck
That footer isn’t going anywhere.

This video could’ve been 25 minutes shorter. A lot of wasted filler time. Very inefficient
Water filler time? No it was us actually working. Some people SMH
