This video shows the construction process of a building's foundation. The narrator, who has been visualizing the project through 3D modeling, is excited to see the foundation taking shape. The crew encounters some challenges, such as missing rebar and the need to adjust the steel mat placement. They also work on extending the formwork to the desired wall height, using wood and screws., and the crew receives a surprise gift from their retired employee Arlo. Throughout, the narrator provides insights into the construction techniques and the reasons behind their decisions to deviate from the original plans. The overall tone is one of camaraderie and enthusiasm for the progress of the project.

Sika products are next level adhesives. Somewhere online there is an old video of them lifting a 40t crane test weight with a 12 inch square plate held in place with Sika only. I guess they figured one was too easy, so they bonded a second one and lifted them both. 80 ton lifted 20 ft in the air with nothing but glue and three one foot plates holding it all together!

[@tombenjamin3685]

Love the merch! Wish I was closer to buy in person, from Illinois, but I’ll check out the link. You guys are awesome

[@Arkwin1133]

have been seeing a lot of people getting bugs in their factor meals. we have stopped using them indefinitely

[@MrThecourier]

Can you Perkins boys get factor meals to be delivered in the UK😊😊

[@Recovering_Californian]

Part 12 of 379 😅

[@SpaceflightSimulator]

I don’t think you’re far from what it actually is going to be 😂

I’d say 425 lol

[@chuckHart70]

Hahhahahhahaaaaaa... Finally something more than building forms. Didn't realize that blocks are more exciting

[@XANNYMAKETHEMGOAWAY]

LOL😂😂😂

Looking forward to a 2-hour special on your 1 million subscription

[@kjbenner]

It's going to be a 10-hour special, just one continuous take of form stripping.

[@jobellereyvillestas6154]

Hi Jaime, you might know this but if not, hope it would help. You could use the SketchUp application to check the volume of the wall structure or any drawn object as long as it became a single entity or object. Just ensure that there are no internal face before you make it as component or as a group. Then you can check the entity info for the volume. Love watching your videos. Amazing teamwork.

[@Natedoc808]

+ 1000 on this comment. I found that out a few months ago putting in DG for a kids play zone and fire pit cocktail spot. Both were irregular shapes so I was able to take rough measurements and I was within 1/4 yard (ordered 9yds and used 8 3/4)

[@KernelBill]

you could also model the rebar grid in sketchup, and either do a model subtraction or just get a number on a section of grid and scale that volume however many times. I’m sure the steel adds up.

[@scottharder9643]

My wife and I (MN residents) were in Asheville, and made a trip out to Bryson City just because of how awesome you guys make it look. We were not disappointed. Got some BCO merch, which is now my favorite shirt. Super comfortable and looks great.

[@T.E.P.]

Hello from Bryn Mawr MN We too have visited many times

[@robwilly2096]

Just got back from Asheville and stopped in Bryson City this afternoon

My wife and I did too last November.

Your ad from FACTOR was from the FUTURE!!!....there was finished concrete walls behind!!!

[@SamuelR007]

I noticed the same thing last video. It makes sense though, because all the editing probably takes a while to do.

[@pracer3]

Good thing I always skip the ads

[@RandyMayo]

I am a structural engineer and home inspector with over 30 years experience. I have to give you and your crew two thumbs up for taking the time to do things right. I have seen too many contractors cut corners. I know from experience the quality in construction comes from the top so good work to you and your brother along with your crew.

[@matteberry58]

Congrats on the pour guys. All the prep was the key

[@wasdaletimelapse7658]

Finally!! what an EPIC pour. Great job guys. So glad it all went as expected for you. Congrats on the Almost A Million Subs.

[@52aberdeen1]

I even had an Arlo sighting in town !! Such an awesome guy to chat with 😂😂😂

[@bionicman6969]

Did a form and pour like this once to help my brother on a job, just enough to know I'm good with never doing a job like that again, hard work and respect the men who can get out of bed every day to do something like that. I'll stick to building up from the foundation and be fine.

[@rickteeden8656]

Never would have imagined how much time and effort you guys put into these forms to make sure there wasn’t any chance of blowouts!

[@saint-miscreant]

re: the little tie blocks at the top of the walls. for the future if you ever do something similar, why not stick a small block on either end to raise the block off the surface of the form an inch or so? more work during setup, but probably faster than the trowelling

[@rahdaswami2452]

Good job you guys for your first time. Wa St Union Carpenters build form walls most of the time, a lot of times 20 to 30 ft high on the sides of freeways. I'm a retired union carpenter and I've never not seen a vibrator used on a wall. Union Laborers here are in charge of pouring all concrete and vibrating the walls. There's an art to leaving the stinger of the vibrator in the wall section for just the right amount of time to get the air out ans quickly disperse the aggregate according to the mix specs. It's better to over kick a wall form than to under kick it. Also I seen many times when a laborer wants to get back at some carpenters, they find a weak spot in the form where it hasn't been kicked enough, leave the stinger in a little too long and move the bulkhead or open a crack in the panels. So leaving in the stinger for too long can easily raise the PSI of the volume of concrete. Should have run dry lines on the top of your form walls cause there's always movement, and a guy can easily run the screws on the kickers to realign the top of the wall. The laborers usually throw the hose over their shoulder so they get a better aim when they pour.

[@patmendiola5466]

All the attention to detail about PBB is near perfection. It's always great to watch you guys! Stay safe and build!!

[@bobothree]

The Perkins crew are the nicest guys on the Internet.

[@Hal-wk3ks]

I have been waiting on this one. Great Job

[@loro3849]

I'm 70 yr. old lady that always keeps a tubotowel in my van. I love them.

[@LeonardCail]

Jamie while I appreciate your attention to detail. I have worked in excavating and concrete work for over 40 years in Michigan. We use wood to block out for beams and such. Oil them good and they repel water. I enjoy your videos. I’d have you build my house.

[@rickyspeakman4445]

Worked concrete for years too. We used wood and oil them or spray them with diesel. Remember the forms are made of wood and you used oil on them to keep them from sticky.

[@Aunty-A]

Was just watching the Vanwives channel magic snd they built a tiny home on the floating dock they also built. They had to listen to Eric Perkins talk about building birds nests for the roof they needed to construct! So cool hearing your voice on another channel!!!!!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💥☄️☄️💥☄️☄️💥

[@Mia-fz6xr]

so close to a million, congrats

[@grannyrosie1]

So happy to see the pour completed

[@kevinhenry7273]

And no "OH SH"TS"

[@rgarlinyc]

Concrete looks good! For a non-builder like me, getting the walls done now finally, actually looks like you're building a gazillion-dollar house!

[@ozarkdaredevils]

Jason wearing his glasses when hes dragging the end of the vibrator behind Ray complaining about his shoulders looks like Dustin Hoffman from the movie Papillon .... A star is born !

[@sjn0202]

Haha, I can see that.

[@nicknolan9063]

yall deserve 1 mil subscribers!! I'm so glad to see it. My favorite channel.

[@jonathansilva6443]

epic pour. so interesting to see how this is actually done. You are such a fun smart group of guys. Longer videos please.

[@moonshinewarrior]

Yes! Concrete and almost 1 million subscribers!

[@tc9148]

Great to concrete poured and no blow outs after all that form work. Great job!!!

[@wernermoura7326]

Hello guys, I'm so happy to see these molds ready, I'm really looking forward to seeing what comes next. I'm promoting the channel here in Brazil to my friends. A big hug to the whole team here in São Paulo - Brazil.

[@marymigliore3396]

You Guys are so awesome !!! I LOVE YOU ALL @ P.B.B. !!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@StevenCampbell1955]

You don't have to convince me that those Milwalkie battery tools are the Ducksnuts. My stepson makes garage doors and is flat out with work most of the time. After a hundred times of running out of batteries, cutting power leads and the general main-in-the-butt of a business using different sorts of tools, ( all good but from different manufactories), he piled 'em all up and got a good deal on replacing the lot with Milwalkie. Best thing ever. He has a power wall where there is always any number of batteries changing and ready for swap each day into the trucks or to sections of the workshop. I got the chance to use the hand held grinders and the drills instead of my usual old 'inhereted from Dad' models. What a step up in performance and how comfortable to use. It all makes itself known at the end of the workday in extra wok done and the lessened pain the old man arms and hands; ( good'ol arthritis from banging things a lot). These videos are a pleasure to watch and it shows that it is a slow day when you don't learn summ'at.

[@AaronHope_Sow]

Amazing how much stuff yall get in the mail both from potential sponsors and fans and now merch in a local shop. So proud of this crew!!!

[@Shady_Bliss]

The satisfaction from finally getting to see the pour on this job is amazing.

[@anjaandmichael]

Guys, y'all sure make this work look a lot easier and more fun than it really is. Having a solid team makes all the difference and you guys do great work at checking all the boxes. No matter how you slice it, foundations, footings and walls are a job and will kill a good man in the process. Thanks for sharing with us, love watching all the videos.

[@carolewarner101]

Wow, what a load off. MAJOR milestone! Congrats guys, well done.

[@michaelc.3812]

I just noticed that you’ll be hitting 1,000,000 subscribers by end of the weekend! Or close to it 😊 Congratulations to Eric, Jaime, and the entire PBB team!

[@milesharlan1]

Concrete time!! Thanks, guys, Sunday afternoon enjoyment!! KUTGW

[@ElvisKremmen]

Must have been a massive relief when everything went ok with the concrete. Cracking episode once again folks.

[@ramellesmith1520]

Congrats on the pour guys! I think I need to come by the site Monday or Tuesday - there should be a BIG reason for celebration. Would Monday or Tuesday lunch time work for you?

[@loragunning5394]

As epic as this pour was, I once years ago had the opportunity to watch a truly incredible pour, although given the entire pour took just slightly over 24 hrs, start to finish. I was living in a high rise apartment building in downtown Seattle called The Harbor Steps and the enormous pad footing for the new north building of the complex was poured. Alaska Way, Post Alley, and First Avenue were all completely closed off for several blocks so as to be able to stage the dozens of concrete trucks and pumpers. The pour started around midnight Friday night and continued non-stop until just past midnight Saturday. I don't remember what time of year it was, but you should have seen the site all lit up as they poured thru the dark hours. It was magnificent to witness, like a complex ballet, SO many moving pieces all coordinated to perfection. Grats on your successful pour, I'd have been sweating bullets!

[@erichwhiteman6373]

Cool new Merch. Loved the foam to make the beam pocket. Hope to see Ben's finished house.

[@L0STinNARNIA]

if you haven't taken out the styrofoam yet, if hacking it out is tedious you could melt it with acetone pretty easily! I'm not sure if that's bad for the concrete, but should be quick cheap and easy

[@TUBBSBRIGHT]

Shoutout to the lads.

Let’s go! Been waiting on another video since Thursday!

This must be the best crew out there! I can't imagine how excited you guys must have been for concrete day, i now I was!!

[@Kristina_Australia]

3:29 love the 'Let Jamie Talk" and "WW Arlo D" stickers. Great those like catch phrases were included 😊. New merch looks fabulous. Concrete has been poured, now to wait for it to dry then to reveal the result of all those weeks of work.

[@KeoughMC]

Should make some “let’s get back to work” shirts.

[@dhawthorne1634]

The foam can be dissolved out as well. If you get some stuck or it's hard to get to, just pour a little Naphtha, Kerosene or Acetone over it. You can also burn it out with a torch, but you'll need to keep the flame on it to overwhelm the fire retardants.

[@tigerdad2003]

Next time use a boom pump. Its a world easier and doesn’t hang on the forms

[@KaraBaker-ux3wr]

I was so stupid excited to see the concrete poured! Woo Hoo!

[@heres_johnny9151]

Praise the Lord the pour !!! Great job fellas!! And kudos on 1M ! Unbelievable!!

[@amandacopeland4136]

It’s about time for concrete! So excited Iv been waiting for this moment.

Impressive job especially their first time with forms at that height. Well done boys! I had no doubt~

[@Irishmayhem89]

1 million subs. CONGRATS FELLAS BEEN HERE BEFORE YOU EVEN HIT 100K.

[@skeltonjuanita6515]

Love the hats Jaime wears! The concrete prep was amazingly complex and if you weren’t videoing it, I would not be able to learn anything. Science of construction has lots of terms. While I watch, I test myself to see if I learned something.

[@maxopalinski5901]

Hope Arlo got some merch! Thanks for your videos and always giving me a good laugh!

[@marcmarc7504]

You guys are awesome. Put a smile on me. Was thinking Ray would put a Razorback shirt on for the big pour, but it would have gotten destroyed. Good thinking Ray.

[@LAMASSU91]

@9:00 you can use sketchup by turning your drawing of walls into a solid, then the volume will show up to you, this will give you very accurate mesuriment if you draw the walls excatly as it is in real life

[@amunderdog]

For a bunch or framers --- You done good.

[@markwood1097]

CONgrats what a milestone. stay safe, enjoy your work! you don't have to go to work, you get to go to work! think about it!!!

Finally the concrete poor, great stuff. Been watching your videos for a couple of years now 👍 Mike Aberdeenshire Scotland UK.

[@sueb4154]

I think we should create a challenge ... everyone can guess how many episodes they think there will be for this build, and the 3 closest, win some PBB merch! What say you Eric? Congratulations on the pour and nearly 1 million subs!

[@bowenike]

In the future (and your redi-mix supplier should have recommended it) but if you are wishing for the concrete to set up sort of whiles you are pouring you could have asked for a lower cement to water ratio and have them add an additive like super plasticizer which would have kept the same slump/workability with less water allowing the concrete to set up faster. Although it may have been a bit more costly. But to compensate for the that maybe just the first few loads needed that mix design and then back to normal for the later loads.

[@kenwillis8487]

Come on tub o towels sponsor these boys! If I’m being honest I didn’t know about them till they showcased them for y’all free of charge!

[@Knowing487]

Just finished watching this one. I’m freaking exhausted. Felt like I was there. May need to shower off concrete 😂😂

Wahoo! Concrete day finally! Looking good dudes

[@gordonclark7632]

I watch PBB from Australia and I have been waiting for the pour and finally it happened. So much work went into the preparation and it reminded me of the old saying PPPPPP. Proper planning prevents p*ss poor performance.

[@joelmullins8965]

I visited BCO back in March when we're staying in Waynesville for a few days of course you have merch there now! Ha! I guess I will grab some next time. Bryson City is a great little town; y'all are lucky to call it home!
