Foundation Forming - Stem Walls Changing #2

We're getting started on a 3,000SF farmhouse duplex, on a lot that is going to make the building process much more difficult. With overhead powerlines, a foundation that sits a whopping 12" away from a block wall, we've got our work cut out for us.

Matt you are so poised and well spoken, a true positive role model for young builders.

[jacobmyers]

loving the build series dude, bang on!

Check the manual. You're supposed to be smoking a cigarette when running the compactor. 🚬

I started an addition on my house last fall. My concrete guy backed out and I ended up doing the foundation myself rather than wait 5 weeks for a different one. I needed this video back then.

Nice to see a "old fashioned" slab on grade there, with stem walls. LOL. Out here in Phoenix, damn near every new house built over the last 15-20 years is a post tension slab... much cheaper for builders to go with, but makes future reno a pain when moving pipes or running in floor electric. Have to get an xray out to map the tension wires and when most are like 12" on center in north-south/east-west, it's really impossible to do anything without major changes to the foundation.

I'm glad to see you starting a new project.

[ryanjohnson]

So glad to see such an in depth foundation video! Keep up the killer work Matt

[ezekielpowell]

Good to see u back on the job and filming new videos!! Can't wait to see the upcoming episodes

If anybody comes here to learn anything as a builder or DIYer or whatever else. I'm telling you right now what Matt talks about beginning @8:38 is why this team is 100%, solid fking gold. It would be good enough reason to use this crew knowing how good of framers they are. But the fact that they also can (and are willing to) do the footings/foundation as well... This allows them to do EXACTLY what he talks about where I said. I'm telling you... This video clip should be hosted in the JLC. Have I already mentioned that this ability is solid fking gold to have on your list of subs if you are a GC? Well ok... I said it twice. And I ain't kidding.
