Building a block foundation- Log Cabin Build

[@Home-11]

Nice haircut! 2 cameras down, one caught halfway down! A ton of block up and gravel spread all over. Tree removal and a new one planted, without approval! Supervisors everywhere! Love that hot lunch! You must be tired, enjoy the weekend with family and keep on smiling 😁

[@DIYDemasi]

Always very observant!! I was pretty tired yesterday!! Gotta rest up! Have a great weekend!

[@Grunt802VT]

The tree swap is Brilliant!! Keep on keeping on!! Semper FI

[@DIYDemasi]

Thank you, hope it survives, if not then it’s time for a pine tree there!

[@Grunt802VT]

@@DIYDemasi I remember that 🌳 Was in the beginning of the driveway!! I hope others see this comment and go back to remember that 🌳 🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅😅😪😪😪😪

[@ronsorenson7196]

Build is looking great. I think I would be filling the blocks. The higher you go the harder to fill the lower blocks with out voids. Thanks for sharing. Ron

[@DIYDemasi]

Thank you! Looks like the concrete should flow to the bottom from the look of it. I made a longer vibrator that should help settle it to the bottom, One more course tomorrow and then we will find out!

[@ClaytonsWoodArt]

Another great video! The shot choices, pacing, talking are all very well done. The time lapse with the clouds going by was really nice. You're doing a great job on the build AND on the videos! 🖖

[@DIYDemasi]

Very much appreciated! Thank you! 🙏

[@kristingrounds4163]

Making tons of great progress!! Getting close to hitting that 15K!!! Awesome video again!! Thanks for sharing

[@DIYDemasi]

Very much appreciated! 15 K would be a nice milestone!

[@coolwheelz5190]

Nice progress! Love the humor and I lost it when your son gave you the "I'm watching you" sign inside the excavator! LOL!!! I do that to my daughters and family all the time!

[@DIYDemasi]

Thank you!! Yea he is a pretty funny guy! Must get it from his mother! 😂

[@Russh526]

I hope you didn’t say you liked the Cyber Truck Ross! Hahaha ! Great Episode fella!

[@DIYDemasi]

Thank you!! Pretty polarizing vehicle isn’t it! Either love it or hate it, I like it!! 😃

[@bobflores]

Nothing wrong with frugal. So very close to reaching this milestone. See you next week.

[@DIYDemasi]

You right! Can’t wait to start back to the wood working! So close!!

[@KasandraHope]

This was a fun one to watch! Better to buy on sale now than pay full price later. You're laying skill has improved since you started, and you seem more comfortable now. I bet your muscles n back need a break.

[@DIYDemasi]

Thank you and you’re right, gotta love a sale! I was really sore Friday, feeling better today and looking forward to finishing tomorrow! And hopefully done concrete by the end of the week and on to the next phase!

[@gillie-monger3394]

Good progress. That block work is looking sweet. Isn't it always the way with learning a new skill on-site? You just get the hang of it as the job finishes! Looking forward to next weeks' video already. Be safe mate.

[@DIYDemasi]

Thank you! After 600 or so reps, I’m finally getting better! Have a great weekend!

[@bernandoturner4840]

I owe you and apology.!!! When you first Started you said the Wood Post foundation you would moved them/ that they were temporary' & you did.. Awesome.. you doing A Great job. Beautiful No house Payment Build.🍀😀

[@DIYDemasi]

No problem! Very much appreciated! Maybe a small house payment when all is said and done, materials are adding up!! But certainly not what it could be with alternative building. Thank you for the comments, have a great weekend!

[@bernandoturner4840]

@ likewise stay busy.😀

[@MJCronkhite-ik3qy]

It looks great. You’ve done a great job.

[@DIYDemasi]

Thank you MJ!

[@johnkelly5487]

Great job, Jack, RI, USA

[@DIYDemasi]

Thank you Jack!

[@Hillbilly007-yd9gu]

Looking good.

[@DIYDemasi]

Thank you!!

[@gdunton1]

Wow the inspectors are really getting involved with the build. If only you could attach a baseball field dragging fence behind them they could plow the yard and at least earn their keep lol. Any bear, moose, or mt lion out there? Eagles? Be well. Your friend from Virginia.

[@DIYDemasi]

😅😃😂 they could drag the driveway gravel! No moose or bear, but my neighbors dog got into it with a mt lion an couple weeks back and had to be fixed up at the vet. Have a great weekend!

[@thomassawyer5565]

You will never regret insulating your foundation. I live in Maine and insulated mine and the basement is so comfortable you could add living space down there.

[@DIYDemasi]

That’s good to hear!

[@eduardfrazao3506]

You will get there good job

[@DIYDemasi]

Thank you!!

[@edpeerdeman4537]

Ik zie een flinke vooruitgang met de fundering en het ziet er heel goed uit👍😎 Voor het vullen van de blokken zou ik een tijdelijke steiger (scaffold) van binnenuit van hout maken iets langer en breder, Daar kan je de beton (concrete) zakken op plaatsen en mengen en dan gemakkelijk in de blokken gieten en makkelijk te verplaatsen door je hele basement heen en eenmaal klaar weer makkelijk uit elkaar te halen. Vergeet niet een vibrating needle te gebruiken zodat de blokken gevuld worden zonder luchtgaten. En je draad einde ankers voor je eerste balk op je blokken. Je hebt weer wat om te vertalen 😂😂 Groeten en ❤ from de Nederlands 🇳🇱

[@DIYDemasi]

Appreciate the tips! I have a couple ideas on how to get the concrete in the open cells, we will see which is most practical! The translation is pretty good! Made perfect sense, thanks for the comment! 🇺🇸

[@roydriskill8342]

Your making great progress! Glad you decided to fill all the block with concrete in the long run you will be glad you did & have a much stronger & long lasting basement. Take care

[@DIYDemasi]

Thanks Roy! You were right, for piece of mind I’ve made the right decision! Have a great weekend!

[@robvyse6332]

Another Great Vid !👍 💪

[@DIYDemasi]

Thank you as always!

[@jsmitty2047]

Nice work, I am enjoying watching the journey.

[@DIYDemasi]

Thank you!!!!!🙏

[@Tomhohenadel]

Steady progress. Can you use the concrete mixer to fill the block cells

[@DIYDemasi]

Thank you! Yes! That is the plan, just have to figure out the best way to get it up there!

[@Charles-xq6mr]

Nice work!! Are you going to be sealing the outside before putting on the insulation? Some nice wood beams for floor support? Fun watch, best of luck!!

[@DIYDemasi]

Thank you Charles! You’ve pretty much nailed my next steps after filling the cores! Paint on waterproofing is on order and I have plans for some log post and beam supports for the basement! 👍

[@jasonwilson7998]

Love your channel! Maybe I missed it, but what are your plans for water and power?

[@DIYDemasi]

Thank you!!!! I do plan on getting a well drilled, probably in the spring, been kinda kicking that can, just because of the cost. I’ve had the power company out and we have the plan for bring the power also, but same, back burner for now, prioritizing getting the cabin off the ground and back together asap. Thanks for the question and compliments!!

[@DVolvoguy777-x7o]

Just curious, you going to install weeping tile or a French drain on the base of the foundation? Would be a good idea. Specially for rain catchment. Looking good!

[@DIYDemasi]

Yes indeed! I plan to add some perforated pipe on the footers, not sure I’ll do rain catchment, I do plan a well in the future. Probably spring. Thank you!

[@barbaradrechsler2819]

Nearly there.😊

[@DIYDemasi]

Yes! Can’t wait to be down with concrete and back to wood! Very soon!

[@saren874]

Looking good! Are you sure that one block was upside down? 😉

[@DIYDemasi]

Haha 😂. thank you!!

[@MJCronkhite-ik3qy]

Driveway looks lovely but I would not drive on it. I’m afraid of heights. Hate the mountains. My hands sweat just looking at the sides.

[@DIYDemasi]

Thank you! It is steep, but once you drive it a couple time you would be fine!
