Attempting to Fixing the Leak - Nudura ICF Build Series

[@annjohnson5634]

Anyone else watching and feeling anxious?

[@Kog_media]

Yep… that’s a flimsy setup waitin’ for Mr. Murphy 😕 I hope not!

[@CCscott]

Nope. Don’t care. Not my mess.

[@alanlanghorn9528]

Anxious for what job is good one .

[@ni_wink84]

Bealygood and letsdig18… the team we always wanted but didn’t know we needed! There’s nothing like someone cascading several hundred pounds of gravel above your head to build a trusting friendship 😂

[@BealyGood]

🤣🤣

[@stephengarner9109]

I have enjoyed every video you have done so far Geoff and have always admired your optimism. I'm not sure I really enjoyed this one and spent the lesser half it being rather anxious. Full marks for you and Chris to keep going and keeping cool heads. I will be glad when the lower part of the pool is complete (as I'm sure you will be), but until then I won't be alone in keeping my fingers crossed for you.

[@BealyGood]

Thanks 😊

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Had a few pucker moments there: Chris & the 220 hanging over the edge, you & Josh under the waterfall of stone, watching that trickle of water grow. Fortunately Chris does know dirt and how to work it, good problem solving on your end. I have to admit I wasn't laughing as I usually do, but I was riveted to the screen. Great video, Geoff. Excellent work all the way around. Thanks for sharing.

[@BealyGood]

Thanks Vickie 😁

[@haroldhawkins9370]

Nice video Mr Bealy Good. Hope that you get the leak fixed. Nice to see that you and Chris have a good working relationship.

[@paulaadams9546]

Chris bring the big boy over! 😂❤

[@donnamullins2089]

Chris to the rescue. This is and epic build for sure. You could use some sunny days to dry thing out. Take care and have a good week.

[@heatherlane9270]

Holding my breath with that leak 'fix' - didn't want to see a quick 'fill' of the pool early :) Gosh this is an intricate busines of nuilding but it all makes sense.

[@martygrove3986]

Mechanical stability of the "Pit of Despair" ... "Its like a magma chamber" Never a dull moment!

[@nandi123]

I've never been on a construction project that didn't have unforeseen problems. Keep chipping away at it, Geoff. You have a great team and will get there. The end result will be spectacular.👍

[@Manoffire260]

Isn’t that actually the definition of a General Contractor? Problem solver…

[@timl3605]

Was for all my years in remodeling!@@Manoffire260

[@precisionputtin]

I think if Chris digs out the pit of despair and puts back some good clay your water problems may be over. Water getting in the trash like a sponge. Good luck and I am enjoying the class on the concrete walls. Nice 👍

[@ohnonomorenames]

My guess is that the pit is surrounded by relatively impermeable clay so once water gets in it has nowhere to go. There probably isn't a huge inflow but over time that pit filled up with water and every time you lower the outlet point you release more water from it. Once its empty and filled with clay there probably wont be any more issues. That said the gravel around the pool will have the same effect so the pump will be needed to remove that water. Make sure that you provide a clear part between all the gravel for the water to make it to your new sump.

[@SpeedSmith]

This is a good example of why and how core trenches work and are needed. Great save.

[@juanwaller1942]

Close call Jeff and thank goodness for Chris being there. Project looking great.

[@silverlicious2086]

If there wasn't any drama in our projects, life would be pretty boring. You're handling things very well. Nice to have your son and Chris on the team too. I've been noticing some comments in the recent videos are getting interesting to read. Especially the "armchair" project managers 😂😂 Some of these people think they have it all figured out without ever doing a DIY project. Not only do I enjoy watching you build a beautiful property I also enjoy the entertainment in the comment section. Win Win if you ask me.

[@BealyGood]

The comments rarely disappoint 😁

[@panchucko]

that aerial shot, WOW

[@davehoffman9767]

Can't wait for the next 50 videos on this build, Great job Jeff & son!!!

[@charleswelch249]

Never used the products you are using, but looks plenty solid for a pool wall. That's going to keep the girls busy after finished playing in the pool 😂. What a dream come true for the Bealy Good family 😊.

[@jasonrussell6534]

Chris digging and packing that hole reminded me of a dentist dealing with a cavity. Kind of the same and totally different at the same time.

[@chrisbarr1359]

Your entire home built great viewing. The ICF swimming pool build is a fascinating project! Thanks for the explanations you provide. Ramble on!!

[@NOTINTERCEPTER01]

Hi from the uk and let's dig 18 channel

[@albertbusscher4270]

That sure was an expensive oversight on your part, Jeff, but it can happen to all of us. Just keep going Greetings from Australia

[@davidhemond9043]

It's the Bealy Good waterfall!

[@kevinmurray7135]

Man you’re steadily getting it done and it’s always good watching and learning what it has taken place on this project and how great you manage the day to day process of keeping it all going in the right direction and i keep getting shots of all the grass all over where you had the man come in and plant for you outstanding it looks great and i think Mrs Bealy Good and you are going to have one of the greatest looking place in NC 👍😎🇺🇸 NY

[@BealyGood]

Thanks 👍

[@sheldonjohnson5467]

That's going to be a nice place when the building is over with

[@jerrygoggins5663]

Geoff you ramble I hadn’t noticed😎

[@thebear5454]

Exciting stuff on the "Scuba Diving" portion of your pool Geoff. Lots of little pieces need to fall into place on this unique project.

[@chuckklemme6988]

Keeping calm and doing the best you can. Thats the ticket.

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Geoff this project is getting better every video! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@Manoffire260]

I had a bad dream of the scene from Poseidon Adventure as the water rushes into the hole - you guys unable to escape in the raging waters… 🌊

[@JD-zm4eh]

Slo mo of the gravel fall was cool, looked like some of the hail we had here the other day followed by a snow shower. Hopefully getting some clay in da hole will help glue up the leak. Longshot would be to drain down the pond below that level until pool is completed and cured. Progressing nice Geoff, have a great day.

[@pauldillinger2286]

Looking very good.

[@philhunt9297]

14:00 Chris looks over his shoulder and notices the big lake is suddenly getting lower 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jonnooney7102]

He's got those walls tapered back pretty good, but don't ever fully trust them when it's wet. Pay attention to cracks developing up top. People get killed all the time by those big chunks falling in unexpectedly. Used to do some underground fuel tanks and a competitor company lost a couple guys that were in a hole tying dead man anchors when a slab fell in and pushed the tanks over pinning them between the tanks.

[@madelinelambert605]

FINGERS CROSSED ! !! Chris is awesome!

[@jameskett5241]

The remnants of that burn pit look like it's about to be some good top soil already.

Taking Shape . I think it's going to look great when your done.

[@dianeandorchidsatvictorharbor]

I first started watching your channel when you were getting the first ground work done before you started renovating the blue house. Never thought I would be watching you build again so soon. Still plenty of video's to come with the work progressing on your build. Then there will be, at least I hope there will be, some of the other houses going up both at your build site and the 90 acre site. Crack on!

[@BealyGood]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Mr.Avuncular]

CHRIS...THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND

[@bryanlloyd1099]

Chris done a great job and everything is looking nice!

[@keithdunlap2701]

Yeah, that old burn pit is for sure holding the water !! I think , when Chris gets it all dug out, and packed back in, it will stop pretty much , I'd guess !! Guess we'll see soon enough...lolol... Great video Geoff !! Have a Great Evening....

[@BealyGood]

Fingers crossed!

[@keithdunlap2701]

@@BealyGood Yeah, right !! lolol... I figured that deep end of the pool ,was the part of your build, that was going to be a little " iffy" !! lololol... But, you guys may just have to get after it and get it in the ground as fast as possible, and get it all packed back in around it, then , I think you'll be able to slow down a bit... time will tell... Best of luck Man !!

[@Firewoodmaninvirgina]

Going to be awesome when done,

[@AllstarVentures]

Going to be one of kind Geoff, nice !

[@markpashia7067]

I guess in the worst case you could pump down the lake. Dang that is a tough one. Good luck.

[@garydillon3960]

Bealy, Today is a great Day. We have a Great and Loving God who has answered our Prayers for little 5 year Ava. The doctors at Cincinnati Hospital started her on Chemo and the first treatment has already destroyed 60% of the cancer cells. The Doctors are very optimistic and believe that they can get it destroyed with a 3% chance it will ever come back. Ava is eating, going to the bathroom, and wanting to play. Thank Everyone for Your Prayers.

[@BealyGood]

Great news!

[@jamielee9350]

When Mrs Bealy asked for a water feature , it was not quite what she had in mind 🤣🤣🤣

[@peterdrake3535]

Only Moses and Chris can hold the waters back😅😅😅

[@tonycole613]

Let’s dig as a pro it while he does. He always says today. Good video keep them coming.

[@BealyGood]

Thanks 👍

[@genesispuredeaf2390]

That water was just pouring in like I’ve never seen. I was happy to see Chris doing a temporary plug to stem it a bit but as you know….water seeks its own level and soon enough that plug won’t be enough (hydronic pressure and everything). Thought you might want to look into bentonite as a supplement to the clay being added (just in case packing the lifts is questionable/concern).

[@richardmorgan8840]

Keep going Geoff. Sensed your anticipation with the leak, there will always be challenges, one step at a time and all will be good 👍. Great video😃

[@justinfufun5483]

Tough call as to which way to go about that leak. Opening it up from the pool side is a can of worms because we already know its leaking in. Digging the middle out to fill the porous area looks tempting because you still have some untouched ground to hold back the flow but could result in a collapse. Obviously the route Chris took was the pragmatic choice but he struggled to get it to cake up. It was an entertaining if frustrating episode to watch. Well done. Look forward to seeing it tomorrow or whenever.

[@cyndikarp3368]

Old burn pit shows importance of future planning. Try forestry chipper to eliminate burn pile burying & smoke pollution.

[@davidmessersmith786]

When you described what you were thinking a few videos ago, I was picturing you digging a core trench like you do for the base of a damn ( the pool hole being the back side of your new damn) core down a few feet from that wall and pump out the water and build a clay core up to the grade height. I have faith in Chris sorting it out though.

[@BealyGood]

Ultimately, that is what will happen. But Chris didn’t want to mess with it anymore until we are done with the pool.

[@charlesswhitlock]

If the leak continues, I suggest digging a 'core trench' between the pond and pool. It works for pond dams.

[@harveylong5878]

dont let Chris fool you Geoff, he loves a challenge. ICF pool coming together slowly. massive project indeed. if I remember correctly, there might be a rare guest appearance by a certain DP? it be interesting his take on the ICF pool

[@harrykeel8557]

It's going to be totally awesome.

[@cliffmorain7215]

way to much extra work with that type of forms if you ask me. wow

[@BealyGood]

If you gave someone a hammer saw and wood that had never framed before how fast would it be?

[@philhammond5908]

They didn’t !

[@rmacsrmaddog2192]

Stakes are high! On to the next.👍

[@millers29]

Mr. Bealy don't forget to run your vertical rebar up thru your cold joints. I happy that your using the fastfoot footer and monopour solution

[@tomswindler64]

Your getting there,just keep doing what your doing 😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@brian7327]

Going be the next Hugh Hefner's Mansion in NC along with great swimming pool now all you gotta do is get Mrs Beally talked into letting you and Josh and Chris to having some Bunnies over 😂😂😂😂😂😂 should be a great time then

[@vegasilkit]

Agree this pool project needs a ‘Grotto!’

[@kensmith8832]

Appears a core trench needs to be placed between the house and the pond. This is a great example of not planning where to dig a pit. I always wondered if Chris had to revisit his pits.

[@jayheiman7388]

At the time they weren’t sure the house was going where it is and having a pool. So can’t blame it on Chris it was a change of plans

[@daneclark3161]

They did plan where to dig a pit.

[@mischef18]

Well at least Chris drops by for a bit of rejigging here and there bro. Looking more like a work site from the air than an archaeological digging so that there is progress. Safe travels. Ken.

Love the estate Jeff, my god your diving pool is bigger than my whole house. lol

[@stevenmarsh5158]

A couple of those big bags of bentonite would come in handy about now! It makes for good content, but I know it's getting to be an aggravation!

[@Jamieclarke88]

Enjoying the build series Mr bealy good , there’s was a fair amount of water coming in from the pit of despair 😂 haven’t seen dog dog or the duck mafia on this yet 😂😂

I’m never this early lately, feels good

[@BealyGood]

Good to see you here

[@Kickyourass484]

Hahaha, I bet yoh say that to everyone. Hahaha. Take em down. Hahaha

[@tracywubben3786]

Hey Mr Beasley the terminology for the ICF components instead of calling it bracing they call it strong backs instead of bracing so see you learned something today and by the way it looks 👍

[@BealyGood]

I realize they are strong backs, but they sell them as ICF Bracing

[@andysprunt9058]

Mr Bealy Good - Sir.... from the aerial it looks kinda skew compared with house footings but I guess it's an optical illusion - it's going to be fantastic when it's done - I loved the tap on the bucket like it was a huge pet metal dinosaur! take care and stay safe!

[@BealyGood]

It was 😁

[@terryoliver9578]

Awesome job guys...

[@WSmith2024]

You need another core trench....lol Thanks for the video.

[@georgenahodil23]

That's about the sketchiest thing I've seen Chris do in a video, it ranks right up there with blowing stuff up in the woods. U have to go way back in the library for that one. I think this project would have gone tango uniform along time ago without your Ace Operator. Great video. Hang tight

[@larrywalker7759]

Remember back after the pond was built and you were wishing for a lot of rain? It has arrived.

[@BealyGood]

I need to start wishing for a lottery win now

[@philhammond5908]

I saw Jimmy Hoffa in that drone shot .

[@robertz2557]

Another great Bealy production. Have you decided on how your going to treat the pool water? When i had my in-ground pool it was only 11k gallons but went with the salt water system. it was so easy to maintain and keep ph in range. I will say the best day as a pool owner was when the excavation showed up and started tearing it out and the dump truck filled it with dirt lol.

[@BealyGood]

Salt and an AOP system

[@MrGoesBoom]

Well...seems you figured out exactly where the old fill/burn pit was

[@geltecmail]

Well Geoff it is big hole to fill. Just wondering if you have been thinking how to fill it. Fresh water stations, tankers or hydrants. 55,000 gallons could be as little as 9, to up to 30 truckloads (depending on tank size) and distance to a potable water source.

[@BealyGood]

Tankers.

[@patrickcolahan7499]

Ramble rarely? Look out for lightening bolts. JK. Project is coming along. A lot to be done on a project like this. The devil is in the details, but attention to those details will pay off in the long run. Thanks for sharing.

[@gecho194]

Last video I was thinking Chris might need to dig a core trench for your pool, and that's sort of what he's doing to hold back the water.

[@tsparky236]

I am sure it is too late but what about putting a bunch of bentonite in there to seal up the water? Just a thought sir.

[@keepingdistance4404]

I hope the pit removal isn't too late. One big rain and the pond will be pushing a flood into the pool.

[@rayevans2052]

That crack in the dirt on the right side of the aluminum ladder looks like it's about to let go.

[@stevenr8606]

There is nothing wrong with 'raining gravel'. Much better than 'raining men' 😮 😂😂😂😂

[@kylesmith8769]

Someone picked a bad spot for a pool. No wait, let’s blame Chris. Bad spot for a dump. 🤣🤣🤣

[@gecho194]

That burn pit is like a sponge full of water.

[@larryperdue508]

You need the drag line 🤪🤪

[@TheCritterWindow]

Looks like you need a notch cut and packed like Chris does his dams.

[@Bman2020]

No pucker action this time there is a lot of work to the process 👍👋🇨🇦

[@dalecherry4044]

Is it possible that is just water from the bottom of the burn pit itself? Not the pond.

[@BealyGood]

It is possible, but it’s running out near the top now. I guess we will find out for sure soon.

[@KirtH27]

Yah need to hire the little boy to plug the bike.

[@mikebradley6880]

How did you word it in the last video? I never do it the easy way. Plus sides, you have a great attitude and great help!!
