Addition Build 6 - Finishing the Foundation

[@tw23707]

looks great, it's unbelievable the amount of work for one small addition

[@TinaRice4]

I know. I was thinking I'm exhausted! LOL

[@onyxsolo1]

Not to mention the skill

[@curiouslass4280]

Awesome job!! Very talented!!

[@kanderson8981]

Nice to see someone taking their time and doing a good job!..." we never have time to do it right but we have time to do it over"!!! That saying is from a 90 yr old friend of the family. He's right too, most people are in such a rush and then wonder why it all falls apart a couple of years down the road! Lol

[@thecontentedhome9167]

Best weight loss, muscle building program I’ve seen all year. I keep watching the video and ads over and over to help support your channel.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Thank you! 😀

[@JanesDough855]

My father was a brick layer. Learned his trade in the CCCs. He built the house we grew up in. Very meticulous in his work, like you are. You should write a book on home remodeling. I think its such an important skill. God Bless!

[@retiredandpreppingquilting2350]

You are so talented to do all the work yourself. You save a lot of money that way. My father was like that too. When he came aback from WWII he built our house from the ground up. I hope you and Elizabeth has a wonderful and blessed week.

[@evalinawarne1337]

My dad didn't build a house but he made a home from the inside. Woodcarving was his favorite. Made furniture, kitchen cabinets. My folks were born in GERMANY. Smart people and.loving. Their were in WW11. Love.

[@evalinawarne1337]

Don't throw it away. Like you said. SHARE it or use it for another drain. Sell it. LOOKS GREAT JOB I love and prayers in JESUS name

[@kalicanterbury8085]

Don't throw the tubing away! Sell it on OfferUp, Craigslist, FB Marketplace, or whatever medium your area uses. Then you get a little of your investment back while saving it from the landfill.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Barry was able to use it for the addition that he's building. 😊

[@rpurdy4821]

I was thinking the same thing... "NO! DONT THROW IT OUT! Use Craigslist, FB Marketplace, Free Cycle etc etc."

[@sandravanlankvelt7975]

We've used that for a french drain down one side and across the back of our yard. Our back yard was surrounded by five other homes who's yards were high than ours and of course our yard became a small lake UGH!!! So hubby got a french drain digger and layed that drain piping and after that NO MORE LAKE in our back yard. This was in Seattle where the annual rain fall is minimum 33 inches a year LOL. GREAT JOB and it looks BEAUTIFUL!!! God's blessings to you.

[@FiresideCoffee]

I worked for a large supplier in my area and I sold concrete and masonry supplies for 10 years. I feel you on the masonry aspect of building. The only pleasure I think I could get from masonry is finish work..ie: natural rock facing around a fireplace etc… things that people see and can appreciate the work you have to put into it. Doing all that foundation work that only you and an inspector can appreciate before it’s buried to the rest of the world and never to be seen again…. Ehhhhh. Thanks for sharing sharing my friend. I’m enjoying every bit of this. God Bless you both.

[@crazycritterlady8788]

Oh my goodness I'm exhusted just watching you, I now have a better apprication for how everything under my feet was done. Who knew how much time and effort goes into what's underground? I've watched many tiny house builds and not one of them goes to these lengths. Your a marvel Bill. Much love from So.Cal.💟

[@debbied.1682]

Your work was so much neater than other masonry workers. A stitch in time saves nine must be your motto, looks wonderful. 👍

[@bettylou3709]

My husband was great with building projects but Covid destroyed his health and he will never be the same again. I am waiting to see Elizabeth's new kitchen. I know she must be so excited.

[@bessieoriotis5104]

This is hard work doing the foundation. It takes strength as well as knowledge. This reminds me of when I was 9yrs old and my dad did an addition, my bedroom in a little bungalow we had in Canada. Bill this is good.

[@mlm7598]

Hard work and you have so much experience in building thru the years it is a wonderful talent and it sure saves on costs. I am so delighted for the two of you and your new place and all you have done since you got there.....absolutely amazing. God bless and I will continue to watch your progress. Excited to see what you do! :-)

[@regor4830]

Slow and steady wins the race. Good attitude & great work ethic. I enjoy your show.

[@susanalexander8068]

Hard satisfying work. I know you sleep well afterwards. Stay hydrated.

[@suiteypies]

Thank you for the update Bill and Elizabeth! Definitely looking forward to the next video!

[@Xavier-bg4dp]

I am loving the addition videos, always stoked to see a new one came out! As always, great work Bill.

[@sct4040]

You and I come from completely different backgrounds. Furthermore, we live in a 1-bedroom apartment in a major city in the east coast. Nevertheless, we have frugality as a common factor. I really enjoy your videos. So wish for a garden and my own washer/dryer.

[@michellefricke7942]

Work fascinates me; I could watch it for hours.

[@coraking9601]

Bill you make everything look easy but I know it's not. Great job 👍 👏 👌 it's so refreshing to enjoy your videos and Elizabeth's too! Real loving people living a normal life, thank you for sharing 🙏 ❤ 😊

[@TheSierralj]

Doing a great job backbreaking work! I know my husband‘s been doing digging a 2 foot wide 18 inch deep trench on a property that’s nothing but rocks and he’s doing it all by hand in the trenches 20 feet long to put piping in for the generator and he’s not young he’s in his late 60s love watching your show ,those birds in the background are trying to talk over you lol 😂 I love the sound of the birds.❤️

[@irisf.9355]

Wow, that looks good! Had no idea how important the math is when doing this. I sure wouldn't be attempting a job like this. Love watching you build things.

[@theresahouck3516]

What a talent! Amazing! Please don't overdo it.....take your time.....and rest. Good Job!

[@alancall5113]

Slow 🦥and steady wins the race👍

[@LaLadybug2011]

Bill, great job! I just had the neatest idea for you and Elizabeth (hope you see this before you fill in everything!) to do-write a little bio about the two of you and your journey to this home and put it in a zip lock bag-tucked into a glass jar. Seal the jar lid with adhesive silicone. One day, someone may find your "time capsule." Thanks as always for sharing y'all's life journey with us.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

😄

[@marjorieschultz5735]

It looks so much bigger now 😊

[@jalieeen]

It is really fascinating to watch it all come together. You are very talented and so is your wife. Can't wait to see how it goes along. Thanks for sharing and inspiring us!

[@sandraharrison2213]

Hi. Mr. Bill. Ty. 4 this video. This is a great example of why math is important in the basic part of life survival. A shelter in a home. 4 the remaining material of the ADS, if your son Barry can not utilize why not donate 2 Habitat 4 Humanity r repurpose r recycle when U & Ms. Elizabeth get your chicken's? The young people of today need 2 watch this video 2 see why math is important in everyday life & survival. Like U & Ms Elizabeth say, "Be Bless, Live Simple, Live Free. Ty, again.

[@mariaken8999]

Amazing knowledge and work! Take breaks, go slow and safely, all that weight lifting, you will be a healthier man, don’t work in the heat. Thanks for sharing your projects

[@lenoranease55]

Bill you did a wonderful job.Sometime it is better to take it slow and easy than to mess things up!! I have learned allot from watching your videos!! God Bless you and Elizabeth... First ever comment!!!

[@vivianwilliams2216]

I'm really enjoying watching the extension build , 😊👍💕💕💕

[@jan6293]

Bill you are amazing! Great job!👍

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Thank you kindly!

[@maggiesue4825]

I believe ADS stands for "Advanced Drainage System." Looking forward to the framing up and the moving of the interior door!!

[@joycelint6652]

You are certainly moving along quickly on that build.

[@GinaSiska]

So impressed how you were able to do the cinder block foundation. I had to laugh when you were putting in the drain pipe because it looked like you were wrestling a giant black snake, lol 😂. Where was Elizabeth? I kept expecting her to peep her head out of the kitchen door 😉. God bless and have a good weekend. It’s been really hot and humid here in Maryland, 94 with heat index of 104. But I’m not complaining because I do not like winter, it’s cold, dark, depressing and blah!

[@tinydancer7426]

I'm up here with you in Maryland. I'm ready for the fall and then some snow. I like the summer too, my garden has been beautiful this year, loving the home grown maters, cukes and beans, but this heat and humidity ...... enuf is enuf! :0D

[@cherriemckinstry131]

@@tinydancer7426 i agree.. I'm in Pa not far and experiencing the same and also alot of rain. Yet the gsrden dries up so fast when its one sunny day.

[@drk218]

Get you one of those spray bottles you connect to your water hose like the ones Windex has for outside window washing; fill it up with Clorox and then spray that side of your house that has the mildew stains and it will look good as new. Let it set for a while then rinse. I do this about twice a year on our home and it works great and is cheap! 🙂

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

The siding is old and cracked. We will be replacing it along with this addition project.

[@dayleeclaton9219]

You and your son are amazing carpenters!

[@debracook530]

Learning a lot - not that I plan to start doing block work anytime soon. Haha. I would have thought you would lay a row at a time. Never would have thought you would do the corners first. Learn something new every day. Love how you are checking the measurements and that is it level often. Can’t wait till you get to the carpentry work. Great job so far!!

[@TinaRice4]

That is one sturdy foundation, Bill and I'm exhausted! LOL 😂😂😂

[@skytechbits]

Very cool. I wanted to see the blocks being cut :) That would be a cool tool to watch. Foundation looks great. As a tech, I always love wiring of all kinds too. It's fun :) to work with wiring.

[@imahick5723]

I had no idea what all went into building. Thanks for the insights. Do you wish that you had gone larger?

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

No, we're happy with the size we have. A larger addition would have cost more, and taken more time and work to build. And we don't need that much room.

[@mattb1951]

Upon his rock I will build my church good Footings a must bless you all

[@wtbm123]

Cool , Block work even a small job is a lot for one person . Just remember there is a top and a bottom side to blocks . Because of the weather in NE Ohio , our footers had to be 42 inches deep.

[@dawnbaker9274]

Not a mason so was surprised how complicated it seemed. Thanks for the explanations. 👍

[@juliajohnson5276]

I am so excited to see your new room.....it was so needed.

[@calgondave]

Lots of work to get it right! Looks great to me

[@sydneymcconnaughhay5947]

Nice --- your amazing 👏 GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY.

[@bosse641]

Very nice work, Bill. Well done.

[@Mari-B]

Great work...but we know you are tired! It's going to be so nice and rewarding when finished 👍

[@miretter330]

You are brilliant Bill !! God bless.

[@lindamickel8545]

Looks great. Doesn’t matter how fast you are. Slow and steady wins the race!!!

[@BigFireDave]

I was wondering why you weren't putting tie straps in the concrete to put up through the blocks to tie the sill to??? Maybe thats a South Fla thing because of hurricane possibility.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

That's a hurricane thing. All we need is the anchor bolts.

[@rosstituteuk]

You're a useful man, Bill!

[@monetwilson13]

Great video thanx for keeping it simple and in layman's terms i learned from this video

[@nancymcdowell9607]

Never fail to amaze

[@bonniekaye]

Looking awesome! 🙂

[@singergirlly]

I never realized how much work goes into building an addition! Great job 👏

[@marieleopold1625]

WELL DONE Bill! You R a man of many skills/talents and it obviously has passed down 3 generations and most likely to the 4th = BLESSED! It is soOOOOo nice 2 B married to a 'handy man'! My man loved the concrete part the best as it was his specialty. Elizabeth and Molly MUST be proud of their men! Thanks 4 the vid. God Bless! :)

[@mariaverrillo9170]

U just amazing ….wondeful progress ❤️♥️💪🏼Montreal canada

[@lindapeterson7166]

Good ☕️☕️ Morning Bill & Elizabeth,enjoying your channel so much & learning a lot along the way.Have a wonderful tomorrow & GOD BLESS. 👏😊👍

[@willymags123]

Fabulous job! I LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE VIDEOS... THANK YOU. ❤💛😊

[@sj6728]

I am enjoying the build very much!!!!

[@ARBlessedLife]

Thank you for sharing 💖 My Daddy was a masonry for many years, this reminded me of sweet memories 💖

[@pamhutzell8268]

That part is done,so its good!

[@Petrochemtester]

Its amazing what a person can do if they put their mind to it…I wish more people would take an active role in maintenance/improvement of their home

[@l.m.o.8948]

Great job Bill 🇨🇦

[@janrogers8352]

I grew up using feet and inches and have had to learn to use metric measurements, but I still judge things in feet and inches. Many rulers and tape measures that we buy will have both printed on them. A metre is longer than an imperial yard, since a foot is equal to 30.5 cm. that makes a metre nearer 3ft 3in.

[@ambersamhinson5932]

Bill is the man.

[@vts5618]

You make it look so easy. Nice!

[@shawnrussell1786]

Slow and steady when’s the race. Looks like you still have it. 👍

[@130sutphen]

Another great video on how to power wash the siding LOL , I bet you cannot wait for the new kitchen. You do such great work Bill

[@ef5842]

Thanks for sharing. Looks great.

[@SandyzSerious]

I wish i had a chair in the yard so i could sit and watch you all day.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Under a shade tree! 😀

[@donsuepowers924]

Excellent job!😊🥰😃🎉🤩❤️🙏🏻

[@cindyenglert.az51]

So fun to watch!

[@louisesanto]

I'm amazed at the process of building a structure. I'm a girlie girl but find this all so interesting.

[@drk218]

Great job on the block foundation, Bill! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@brendaalaniz3090]

The addition is coming along nicely. It's obvious that you know what you are doing. Blessings from Texas 🤗

[@lindam2090]

Great job enjoy watching

[@OldCritters]

I have one speed… slow! Looks great to me. 👍💞Carrie

[@TheOriginalFreak]

Inspirational to see folks using these talents for themselves at home; always appreciate a fellow with similar opinions on home renovation. God bless.

[@yvonnegilmore712]

Hello Bill and Elizabeth 👋👋👋👋

[@GFox...]

I use to occasionally help my oldest brother in masonry work. Satisfying yet back breaking work. At least you don't have to grout any of the walls. Looks good!!

[@marykubick8783]

You explain everything so well! I look forward to the rest of the videos to come.

[@amma3536]

You work hard! God bless you and Elizabeth! Looking good!

[@karenbuchanan2340]

👀 Looking good 👍

Great job Bill ! Looking good.

I like how you explain every step, very educational. Good job!

[@judyabernathy80]

Amazing Work. It’s looking like an addition already. ♥️❣️🙏🏼❣️♥️

[@WhatSarahLikes1]

Bill do you not have to put in a brick with holes to let the space under the floor have ventilation? Just interested. Great job by the way.

[@coolstamper]

You are one hard working man!!! PLEASE be careful with your back…I would HATE to see you hurt it again!!! 💕🙏🏻💕

Quite interesting to see how this all ties in.

[@rutkmi]

Bill, on the leftover ADS pipe, if Barry doesn't want it is there a Habitat For Humanity Store anywhere around you where you could donate?
