Amazing ICF and Lite Deck Home Tour!

[@mcchupka9718]

Love the concrete residential floors, the idea of hydronic floor heating and its efficiency, and they stole my idea of finishing the concrete instead of covering it. Amazing amenities throughout and wish the owners the best; may they get to use it and share it all for many, many years to come.

[@clydecox2108]

I'm planning on an ICF home. I like this layout and the engineering .I especially like the fact of your passion of building.

[@rffarms3269]

Turned out amazing. Glad to see a full review of a home with Phenix Marble on it.

[@outdoorimpressionsmi]

That’s such a cool house. I like the pub looks like something you would see in Chicago or New York .

[@all3pools]

The pub is pretty amazing! I was pretty sad the clip was corrupted and the second vid didn’t work either…

[@t.l.fuller95]

This house is amazing!!!!!

[@em-tr3rd]

I would be so proud if that was my house.

[@Charlieman.]

Awesome. Not so many videos on lite deck out there with good details. Thanks for showing how you set the blocks up to make it mono pour. Couple details that would be awesome to include in future: 1. How do you handle it when you are going to polish the floors. (and how do you protect them once poured while the rest of the construction occurs?!?). 2. Different slump or water content for the floor section when you polish floors and mono pour? Thanks! Vids continue to get better.

[@SolarTechFL]

I built an icf home with a pitched concrete roof. I used insul-deck it looks identical to lite deck. I have a 5 or 6 part series on it on my channel somewhere.

[@VernBigDaddy]

Thanks for getting dressed up for this Once in a Lifetime tour of this miraculous home.

Really impressive work! Not necessarily my style, but the beauty of the walnut is incredible.

[@jagboy69]

I agree, it won't win any architectural awards, but I can appreciate the build quality. Between the pub and the hideous pool cover, I'm betting the owners are from the UK. I've seen that ugly pool cover before over there.

[@josedelacuadra660]

Very nice! Every detail is stunningly beautiful. The contemporary look and walnut appointments....the works are just simply awesome. Could you give me an idea of how much a 3k sf

[@Jerry-ko9pi]

I see a lot of things I wanted to do with my house. I'm already having a basement under my garage and was deciding on either hollow core slabs with superior walls or ICF with Lite deck. I really liked the bar room at 15 minute mark. I was thinking about a cigar room like that too. I don't smoke or drink though, but still want one.

[@alantyth]

Awesome work. You must be proud.

[@all3pools]

Thank u!

[@hawk00055]

That bar in the basement is the best room in the whole house.

[@all3pools]

Agreed

[@danielpadlo2401]

[@robertduffy5805]

What a beautiful home.

[@BerserkPk]

I really enjoy your videos, can't get enough. I definitely think you are one of the best builders on youtube. I'm about to do a similar project (radiant heated polished concrete floors, ICF walls, and thinking about using fastfoot as well) I poured a few concrete patios and drive ways, but have never done polished concrete. Most info I find online about polished concrete don't talk about new construction/ideal concrete mix and additives. What was the concrete mix and any additives? I'm also assuming you would want it laser screeded to lessen the amount of polishing required.

[@all3pools]

You may want to talk to a polishing co, they use a topical additive day of pour called potassium silicate, promotes crystalline growth and hardens the surface, then after a minimum of 27 days, they do the first (cut) they’ll grind it to 4-800 grit, usually after they get to 200 grit they hit it with lithium silicate to further the polish ability of the surface…. Then they usually come back to final polish and burnish to 1500 r 3000 grit right before the project is done, but there’s multiple ways to skin that cat!

[@BerserkPk]

@@all3pools Thanks! This is really helpful.

[@KyleWilcox]

Very cool house. What is the roofing material?

[@Krazie-Ivan]

The quality of work, engineering, & materials are unquestionably top notch. ...15,000sqft tho, for a private residence. Bit much ( understatement ).

[@garysins102]

Beautiful House great work... How do you spell the name of the heated floor system?

@@all3pools one more question can you use a septic tank for the basement 1 under the ground not above the ground

[@franciscoburgos787]

There is something about real stone top, the price tag. That’s why synthetic tops are popular.

[@all3pools]

That’s not remotely true in my market, cambria and silestone are the two biggest market presences and they are both $10-15/ft more than most granites, and pretty close to par with more exotic stones…. I agree it shouldn’t be that way, but I think the popularity of the fake stuff and rising resin costs all contribute….

[@Prorex1911]

Excellent work! We’re you the main GC on this build?

[@all3pools]

I was the last one I guess you could say, her first one left after 18 months and a couple glaring mistakes, not a bad guy but in way over his head, I built pool and procured some of the finishers inside, and am still doing projects there, but I was not the original contractor

[@scottcraig1047]

What is the life expectancy of all that pex tubing embedded in concrete? The idea of busting up a concrete floor to fix leaks would make me nervous.

[@all3pools]

Compared to an entire house being built out of products that rot? I don’t know how long pex lasts but it generally believed to outlast copper piping which I see in lots of rent houses going back to the 30’s…. Not to mention this pex is encapsulated in concrete so it was very little chance of being impacted by external forces… if your concern is a problem with concrete itself shifting, proper reinforcement should keep that below the threshold of damage to the pex!

[@charlesallyn4719]

Surprised to see an electric cook top in such a fancy house. What type of roofing are they using? Almost looked like shingles, but that cant be.

[@ericscott3997]

More than likely it's an induction cooktop.

[@brightonideas]

How difficult is it to run plumbing, electrical, and possibly A/C ductwork between floors with LiteDeck in place?

[@all3pools]

Before the pour it’s super easy, not bad if it’s poured unless you have hydronic lines in the cast, then you should take extreme care pre pour to get the penetrations in, and make a map of the lines in case you need to drill something later

[@t.l.fuller95]

This home has a 40ft LiteDeck span....could it go to 50'?

[@jeffgreen9109]

Wow I would love something like this, I just don't want the utility and the cleaning bil.

What is the foundation like for a house like this in Missouri? That is a lot of weight.

Basically lol

[@ardianhasko3877]

Why do you need Litedeck insulated ICF floors when there's no need for insulation inside?

[@all3pools]

You don’t need it for it’s insulative value per se, but it does help when doing hydronic heat, plus icf deck material like lite deck is the easiest way to create the slab and beam design that allows spans up to 40’! We’ve done it on a few pool rooms without lite deck and the forming process is considerably slower snd more costly….

[@ripperwrestling6587]

@@all3pools Exactly right - way easier to form and the laws of thermodynamics will push heat up to the space intended to be heated.
