How to Build Your Own ICF Basement and Save Big $$$

Показать описание

We finished our Logix ICF basement this month! Helene and I are so excited to finally start on our home build. Next step will be to waterproof, backfill and build our oak frame on the foundation. Thanks for following our journey!

Big thanks to Dan, Art, Chase, Landon, Patrick, Lucas, Patrice, My dad and my brothers for helping out, couldn't have done it without you!

One tip, don't do your splice at the corner, work your way in from the corner and try to the splice in the center of the wall. The corners are where the blowouts happen so you want your strength there.

One safety tip. As soon as you put a vertical piece of rebar in, make sure you put an orange cap on it. I was cringing every time you pressed down hard to engage the horizontal rebar into the plastic framing.

You know you've put a good day's work in when you end up with some concrete in your beard. The foundation for the Timber Frame home is off to a great start. Looking forward to more videos on the build.

Nice basement layout. Those walls are good and thick. 🇨🇦✌️

Loved your video.. you sound like a honorable and humble gentleman. Any more update on home building so far ?

Excellent video, trying to debate myself if I want to build a basement or just go with a slab. Do you have more videos of the house being built?

I am guess I’ll save about $100K doing ICF, plumbing, and electrical. Though I’ll hire out interior drywall. I hate drywall.

How is this holding up? looking to do the same with my own build (diy)

Did you build the timber frame on top of the ICF wall? Did you have to build out the wall for the timbers to bear on?

Orange caps are optional this isn’t an OSHA job, only a local inspector and he will be above them for inspection comes.

That drilled rebar didn’t look to have epoxy holding them in place.

marriage line should be more in mid wall not near a corner

Hey man, great video! This is going to be one of my main go to videos to refer to once i start my own house.

Just a side note, the music is a bit too loud. Not terribly so, but its a little out of proportion to the rest of the audio.

Keep up the good work man!
