I've been watching you guys for a few years now. I started watching originally because my wife and I had just bought our first home and I needed some help fixing some stuff. As time went on I noticed that I was watching for the chemistry you two have as well as the tips. I never had a solid father figure in my life so I appreciated watching your dynamic. My wife and I are expecting our first child (boy) in July, and watching you two has become much more meaningful to me. I appreciate the father son dynamic you two model. The idea of fatherhood has terrified me, but I have a much clearer picture of the kind of dad I want to be by watching you two. Many thanks to you both!

That saw cutting the rebar looked heavy! That back seat is almost as messy as the one in my truck! LOL. I've got bags of thinset mud powder, paintbrushes, tools, etc back there. I've seen sometimes some gravel is poured into the holes to go under and around pipes so there is some wiggle room within the concrete. Its always nice when you meet someone who has been around a long time and can tell you about the history of the place and the progress and who is willing to talk about things and be friendly. When we first moved here our plumber had been working on this house for probably 50 years and he gave us a rundown of the history. He also explained what he was doing and why as he was doing it. Some professionals don't like to be chatty, but I like the friendly ones who will talk to the clients/customers. Seriously, when you go to do the house foundation, get yourself some of those tent carport kits. Set them up over the worksite and put sandbags around the perimeter. I can just feel Jordan's frustration. I've been there. Had plans and then thunderstorms hit. I had just painted the outside of the workshop-- it was still drying-- and massive rainstorm came through with high winds that blew the rain toward the wall. The muddy ground around the worksite will make it harder for the concrete trucks to get in and pour without sinking. We had a concrete truck sink in our yard (although it was bc the driver failed to listen to instructions from the contractor). I hope everything went smoothly on the day for concrete pouring.

A year and a half ago my house was flooding. I was desperately trying to block up furniture, empty the bottom shelves, throwing things on top of other things, helping the fire brigade with throwing sand bags... But eventually the water only went up, to about a foot and a half, soaking everything I couldn't block up high enough, destroying the drywall, covering the wall sockets, destroying the kitchen cabinets I was still installing... I know the feeling of not having any more emotions to give and just having to accept having to live with it... I had to move back in with my parents for half a year, meanwhile dealing with insurance, cleaning, getting some electricity working again, getting heat again, getting 1 room livable so I could move back and carry on completely renovating the rest of the house even better than before at a point in time I was supposed to be almost done for a long while. I grabbed the chance with both hands to undo all the shortcuts I and previous owners did over the years, do things differently, doing things with the high chance of a future flood just as bad in mind so next time there won't be as much damage, document everything so if it happens again I have hard proof of how the house is built and what it'll need to bring it back for the insurance company so hopefully that'll go easier... Think of it this way: now you know everything that can go wrong, so you can account for it as much as possible when you do the house.

I'm not planning on pouring any foundations myself, but it's fascinating to me and beneficial I think for a home owner to know what goes into their house.

Fortunately, for my project, we moved the pour forward by five days, and beat the rain (in Tumbarumba, Australia). I'm sorry to see that luck wasn't on your side. It'll all work out.

I live in a wet area, and I had a big outdoor project a little while ago. First thing I did was went to harbor freight to buy a 30' by 50' tarp. Every day when I was done working, I'd either run a rope or some boards to drape it over and make an A-frame tent over the site. It only rained a couple of times, but I saved a lot of work in the long run.

I'm having a pool installed. Right after excavation, we had a rainy night in the forecast. Contractor said he would tarp the project. To my surprise, he put the tarps on the bottom of the pool, not over the top. Used a bag of cheap camping stakes from Walmart to hold it down. The rain filled the pool but stayed in the tarp. Pumped the water out, pulled the tarp, and could work on it that morning.

My dads place was built in the lowest section of an old farm area back in the early ‘70’s. We moved in in November of ‘77, right before the big blizzard of ‘78. We never got to see it wet until that spring. It flooded a bit from time to time and would dry out fairly quickly. It would drain into a working field with active drainage about a mile away behind his land. This was fine up until the early ‘00’s. Then The farmer who owned that land sold to a developer. That developer built up the farm land and tore out all the drains and resloped the land to drain away from the new houses back towards my dads and his neighbors. Now, his being the lowest point, it likes to flood a lot. Like standing water for days after a light rain. At one point last year , because of rain, when I finally was able to cut the grass it was over 3 feet tall, and a pair of mallards made a nest in the 1’ foot deep pond that used to be the front yard. I understand your frustration with rain! I feel for you guys

I don't know if it's even possible, but I was wondering if, during the earth work, setting up one of those event tents over the site might not help to keep the water off the dirt long enough to get the slab poured. I don't know what they cost, and I don't know that it would help... But, I doubt it would have hurt anything. Except, maybe, the budget. I'm enjoying the journey. Thanks for the ride! Be safe.

Given the water table on this site, i dont know why you guys went back with select fill. Should've dug the hole, added 3ft of gravel instead of select fill, that way you couldve collected the under slab water into a sump pit. Build up the concrete footing/stem wall, then in fill the center with more gravel and top with a floor. Right now im worried about the continued water table problem and under mining the footings. Also the site is just too low for proper pitching of footer drains (are there any?). Id have liked to see this whole thing raised up like another foot or 2.

It has probably been a few days. Investing in a scaffold based whole house tarp is something to consider. Wood rots with water, plywood warps in water. You also have a whole house to go after this.

Typically, those pumps have a 1.25 or so inch output. Most folks reduce that to the 5/8" hose adapter. Buy a 1.25" hose and you'll more than double the output of the pump.

I designed a project that had a 3' deep foundation excavation. When I saw the job site, the contractor dug an addition trench that started from the house excavation and led to the edge of the property. This was not his first rodeo. If it rained hard, the water would make its way to the trench he dug and exit the job site.

Man have they not heard of shuttering in the US? Every footing poured here in the UK normally gets shuttered with shuttering ply (waste ply) to avoid any of the sides caving in. Sometimes the footings go as deep as 2metres so very risky.

I live on the north side of Houston and think about you guys every night it rains. Weather guys lie every time. It’s always colder and more water than they say. You have been thru lots of emotion on this one!
