Thanks for stopping by our channel! We are self building our family of 5 a post frame barndominium in Iowa along with the life we’ve always dreamed of.
The goal of our channel is to inspire others to build their dream by providing education on construction and an in depth look at how we’ve gotten to this place.

Saw your rebar chairs and new this was going to be quality work!

[@MrPostFrame]

Thanks for watching!

[@nugefishes]

Keep them coming. I learn so much from each video!

[@billybowman8146]

Nice work.

[@jeffpettitt9438]

Great job!! Thanks for the detail

[@luvbigiron]

Attention to detail seems to be your basic operating mode. Take whatever time is necessary to get it right, especially with foundations. It's always tough trying to build in the colder, wetter months. As usual a very well done and informative video Paul. It's rifle season here in Virginia and the rut is on. Hope you get a chance to hunt a little with your busy schedule.

[@cmm170526]

Great video! Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@MrPostFrame]

Thanks for watching!

[@tracymankey9314]

Very nice work

[@jordanlawson6636]

I'm curious what type of "rock" you use for under slab or under your footing. Thank you. Love the videos

[@jasonpickett4483]

who's the one person? *eyeroll. Keep up the good work!

[@davidgleason6400]

Looks great!

[@fredericrike5974]

Start straight and square, then you build straight and square. Great start, Paul. Is there any engineering or design info you can share? Like another builder, I am wondering how applicable this technique would be on a sloped lot for a walk out or day light basement. FR

[@gregmize01]

Paul is a badass!!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@kman7222]

nice work. next episode please.

[@jerrywoodlee2345]

Good job

[@johnmarquardt1991]

Doin' his own thing.

[@nneelix]

I'm assuming this will be slab on grade (as this is post frame constuction). So the ICF will extend above grade and the post frame footing will be on top of the ICF wall? Curious how this works out, I have sloped grade I wound like build a post frame that would result in daylight basement and garage below the main floor living space.

[@fredericrike5974]

This sounds interesting. Hope you get to follow up on this plan. FR

[@cbadcardaddy]

Looking forward to watching this build. Thank you for the time and effort you put into it.

[@samt5663]

@OP. Pricing for your client. Is the ICF foundation wall, overall cheaper to install than a conventional insitu concrete or block wall and insulated later? I've been led to believe the material cost for ICF is still too high to compensate for the reduced labour costs.

[@samt5663]

Are there any variables and what are they that would make one or the other more cost effective?

[@EdwardTilley]

Great video. I just wondered how are you insulating the slab at the base of foundations? I assume foam panels under the floor and icf insulated cement foundation walls. There must be no need of insulation at foundation footings?

[@nneelix]

Footings are structural and weight bearing, you want them on solid ground. Insulation under the footing would compromise this.

[@EdwardTilley]

@@nneelix Your explanation makes perfect good sense. I surfed around and found systems that insulate the floor slab from wicking and thermal transfer - from the foundation. I'm a big fan of this post-frame with heated slab floors - and solar-powered heat-pumps :) Great off-grid redundancy, efficiency, and reliability - even if you have to be away for a week - or a month during the winter.

[@nneelix]

@@EdwardTilley Oh yeah, slabs are commonly insulated, radiant heat or not. That will likely happen when the slab is prepped between the foundation walls later.

[@chrisrichardson8908]

That is a deep footing. What are you building. I have never seen a footing that deep looks to be a good 3 feet

[@darwinawardcommittee]

Frost line is around 4 feet in these parts.

Why is it called "THE COLT BUILD"

[@alanm2842]

maybe because he is starting in the cold part of the year

[@wallaceloper637]

Well, it was only mud the mudded the works . just saying

[@jimrodgers3275]

If you didn't have the previous foundation in that area, would the sloped site alone be cause enough for you to go with the ICF? Our build site is at the bottom of a similar slope, so curious. We love the idea of ICF, but didn't know what advantage it had over the piers with regards only to the sloped site. Also curious as others about what you may or may not do with foundation drainage. Thx! Great work!

[@MrPostFrame]

Hard to say but the soil there was also a factor. You’ll definitely need to be able to keep water from running towards your site no matter what.

[@adubbelde1]

I too follow Kyle of RRBUilding. I dream about putting up an outbuilding for a shop. I could live with 32x32, but if I built it 40x48 I could park my fifth wheel in it. If I do, it will likely be slab on grade as we're sitting pretty much on solid rock. When we built the house it was dug with a 320 CAT excavator with a ripper tooth. My frost wall on the walkout is only down less than 2' as it's on solid granite. One of my deck posts is pinned to granite that's pretty shallow. I don't know if I would use concrete set post anchors or use the ones like he anchors with SIMPSON screws. I have radiant heat in my house and garage and would want it in the shop as well. I'd want a 2 post lift as well.

[@melissalaird2006]

this is exactly what I needed to see,,,, it's my build as soon as I can...... I hope you are doing a crawl space in this build,,,, then I won't have to look anywhere else for my information.

[@jacobburr1237]

Nice looking but way over kill. Next time build pad and then 16 inch trench 4 ft deep. Lay 1x48x84 foam on inside to outside of trench. Fill concrete level and footer is done all in one day.

[@frostman9661]

Amazing work! Curious though because I just don't know, but what are you doing for drainage around the foundation? Do you not need french drain or weeping tile at or below the grade of the foundation?

[@GaryMulzer]

Can you dig the dirt out from the inside and make this a basement

[@pricanhero]

Does the land have to be absolutely flat? Can there be a slight slope?

[@charlesvincett84]

Sage advice....suck it up and get it done...

[@lovejcdc]

That is a fantastic footing! Can't wait to see the ICF pour.

[@MrPostFrame]

Thanks for watching!

[@shastamedley5062]

Great information and timing, we just finished our trench today.

[@MrPostFrame]

Thanks for watching!

[@redneckchemtech7621]

Its a little confusing why someone would both with pole shed framing if they bothered to pour a footer anyways. Wouldn’t standard stud construction be superior?

[@MrPostFrame]

Not per say. A continuous footing was used in this case because there was an existing foundation site and it had a lot of limestone. Post frame still made sense.

[@Price1861]

I see NSWs gortex. Wore the same thing in the Navy.

[@MrPostFrame]

Thank you for your service.

[@williamw5604]

Man, when does your HGTV show start? A barndo show would be great especially with your way of making the complex simplistic.

Great Video, QUALITY Construction‼️ THIS should be a Fun Build, THANK YOU PAUL 🚜👷‍♂️ Vinny 🇺🇸

Nice job Paul, nothing beats hard work. Keep them coming my man. 👍💪

Where did you buy that elephant trunk? I can't find one anywhere.

[@jfarrar231]

@@MrPostFrame thank you. Another thing while you are here. How do you back fill the inside of the frost wall? I'm being told that if I backfill with dirt it will settle and there will be a void under the edge of my concrete floor.

[@IsmailNuzaifKokky]

[@cooper8318]

Long time subscriber here. Im curious why did you build this house with an icf frost wall as opposed to the piers you did on your house given they are both slab houses? Is one a better and/or cheaper option? Is it a permit issue? Either way its good to see a different option for a foundation. Always a pleasure

[@MrPostFrame]

Hi thanks for the comment! The build site is the reason we went this route. The lay of the land and there was a foundation there previously rendered this the best option to ensure success.

[@cooper8318]

@@MrPostFrame OK that makes sense. Looking forward to the rest of the build. Keep up the good work! And thank you for the reply

I always love to watch someone use a $250 Dewalt screw gun as a hammer to straighten boards. Great way to educate viewers on the proper way to use their tools.

[@jfarrar231]

Won't hurt it. Those tools are designed to withstand a fall from like 12' onto concrete.
