Building Forms for the Footer - Couple Builds Dream Home

In this episode of our Couple Builds Dream Home series we are building the forms for our footers. We are using 2x8s for our forms. The footer is 16 inches by 7 inches and has two horizontal rebars in bedid in the concrete. There is also vertical rebar extending into the stem wall every 4 feet on center. We are building this dream home as a couple and enjoying the process.

[@sylhunt8230]

Brings back memories...many, many years ago i worked construction during high school and college during the summers....and it seem like we were always pouring footers each year.

[@nordeenabdellah9371]

The timbers are beautiful and perfectly straight. I think they have been processed using heat treatment or something so that their shape are well-maintained, highly stable. No significant deformation.

[@charlesvincett84]

You have good kids...you put them to work!

Wow you all are booking through setting those footings... GREAT JOB JOHNSON FAMILY!!!! Beautiful JOB!

[@denisricher1349]

Footers and Stem walls.... a family affair..... GREAT JOB TEAM

[@markapickett]

Great teamwork! What an excellent way to learn - by doing! Seeing Sarah helping out reminded me of one of my other favorite homesteading (Christian) family on KZbin, Gridlessness - 5 daughters, the oldest about Sarah’s age! You guys do great work and it’s inspiring to see you all pitch in - setting forms is NOT fun, IMO, but laying a good foundation, for a garage AND for our lives, is so very important!

[@dennislower4742]

I absolutely love your channel, your progress and your family.

[@Crazy.Crafting.Couple]

I have to say.... those kids are awesome!!! True workers, you both have done a great job raising them!!!!

[@estellaknox9285]

[@RunamuckFarms]

Awesome video guys. Thank you for sharing your day with us ❤️.

[@kevinbrewer2141]

I love the rebar bender. Just a thought when you use a excavator take your bucket loads and put it in your tractor bucket. Then put it in a pile. It be out of your way and less hand digging.

[@hanzon]

Good Video 👍

[@silanda0210]

You guys are the best. Team work and happiness all around:)

exelente video amiga

[@loucinci3922]

nice teamwork

[@thelostarchivesserialvault5353]

getting the re-bar off the ground is where you can finally get rid of a bunch of rocks lying around. Goal is to get the rebar a least 1/3 up into the cement....

[@wiseguy3438]

I would say you guys get a good workout everyday, healthy living

[@dookiejohnstone256]

Nice!💜👍🏾

[@KoalityofLife]

[@mato1943]

Good tip for the wire is to pre-bend it into sort of U shape easyer to get under the rebar

Salut. Everyone seems to be having fun. Nicely done. Hey Seth next time cleaning the coop. I would suggest just a few sprinkles of water. Thumb over pop bottle with water, works for me. You may be surprised how it cuts the dust. Just don't soak the stuff. Something about wet hens theory comes to mind. 🤣🤣😉😉😜😜
