Thanks for your video! I have a 1967 brick home built on a slab. Lots of cracks in the bricks on one wall due to an overdue plumbing issue which has been fixed. The water was saturating the soil weakening it next to the foundation. I dug out a small area underneath the slab just to see what it looks like. It appears to not have the modern day "monolithic slab" where the footer is deeper than the rest of the slab. It appears to be approximately 8-9 inches thick everywhere. I was just curious as to why your engineer required the depth to be around 3 feet deep? That seems really deep compared to a traditional footer that may be 12 inches deep or so. What type of soil do you have? By the way, I completely understand why you did not jack up the house but only intended to stop or slow down further sinking. I plan to do the same and seems to be the most appropriate for my situation. This video is very helpful! Thanks!

Thanks for the instructions

Can you please come to my house? NW INDIANA PLEASE ❤

❤❤❤❤❤ smart beautiful

Impressive. Did you have to to any jacking before digging?

I'm doing one today

How did you attach counter top to base cabinets? My father in law, who built our almost exact island with similar cabinets, passed and I can't ask him this question. Island top appears to be 1.5 " MDF with formica top. I cannot tell how MDF is connected to cabinets. I wanted to change MDF top with butcher block

Thank you!!

how to close the sides where two cabinets meet? I can't have the panel cut to be exact to cover it entirely

Yup, need this exact format - Don't have the space for 2 24" D base cabinets but do have space for 36" in total, so 24" + 12" - Thanks!

How long in between coats?

So I'm getting mixed information on vapor barriers.. some say to overlap but don't tape the overlaps, let it breathe to dry. Others say tape and seal every opening. Whats right and why ?

Thank you!

Great video -- thanks. To hang the panels, the eye hooks are installed in the side of the deck to be hidden by the panels? What sort of hook is used to attach the panels to the eye hooks? Also, as some have noted New England winters are fairly unforgiving -- assume comparable approach can be used with cedar lattice?

what materials are you using for your mortar, what proportions?

Your method was the only method that worked for my tub. Thank you!

Thanks for the straightforward information!

Amazing video 👏🏾

If you have a normal deck wood substructure in a wood header beam how do you attach these load-bearing vinyl country posts to the header beam and the deck structure. Do they make a cleat

I wish you would look up to the connection from the post to the beam more often than hold the view

Bro you are the coolest guy on youtube straight to rhe point not a lot of talking and it works thanks bro

a couple of questions: what is the mesh that you overlay on the joints and did you use roofing nails to secure the mesh sheet to the backer? thanks for a useful video

Settlement/underpinning confusing, stressful & $$$$$ doesn't matter how you look at it ! Been researching this subject for months still confused as mud. If you underpin 1 side of the house, wouldn't there uneven settlements in future as other sides are not strengthened ?

Thanks for the video.

In north east India locals make their houses with this technique. As this place is earthquake prone, this technique keep them out of danger. Their houses are made on wooden pillars and frames. Floors are made with wooden planks.

Since there is a 1" shift in the brick, why would you not place pilings underneath to lift the house and repair what must be a crack in the foundation? The floor inside of the house cannot be level with such a shift.

Yay! Finally some answers to my many questions about finishing out a shower! Cant wait to look thru the channel for more! 👍🏼👍🏼

Is it not necessary to remove the "vapor barrier" paper face on the fiberglass insulation? Or else you em's up with a double layer which could also cause a moisture problem from condensation inside the wall

really cool, can't wait to try this on my saggy headliner

Was the engineer ok with your rebar’s running into the soil? You didn’t use any rebar chairs?

You should not vapor barrier over the paper it could condensate... use non papered insulation in the wall then your vapor barrier over top

Dizzy video. I need take medicine. Thanhs !

Thank you for posting! Now im gonna look for a replacement drain piece...i am not sure if they come in different sizes...gonna measure it, i guess ...such a shame that i have to find these things when my father is a master plumber😢

What product are you using for the parging mortar? Thanks!!

I cant seem to find laquer thinner here (Ireland), what are my other options?

Thats not a streat 90, its a sanitary tee

All along the watchtower

Wait, sir, what happened under the tile? Did you smear mortar or grout, then seat the tile then grout in between the tiles after tiles set from ground mortaring?

We just gonna ignore the Marjuana plant?

Thanks!

Great video. Wow, what a disaster. Curious what the foundation should have been originally constructed like,

My utility sink line connection is right above the standing washer p with as much i used a normal tee and had a ton of water come back up into the sink. Since my connection is right above the p trap, Would a ty into a 45° elbow work Instead work as well or better then a street 90 or sanatary tee? Been to home depo t about 10 in 3 days ar and im prtty sure theyre workers are annoyed with me as much as i am of them so if i don't get this right after My next visit then imma need to catch a fade with a few of them...

Are you saying street 90? Or straight 90? I'm not making a joke or anything, but I swear I'm hearing you say it both ways.

dry side? wet side?

Awesome.

Thank you!

Do you try to raise the house back in place before adding new foundation underpinnings?

Where do you get engineered hardwood that comes in different lengths without cutting it?
