I like to mix non-shrink grout in a 2 gallon ziplock bag and cut the corner so you can apply it like cake icing.

[@zTribalstylerz]

That's what's up! I was thinking a funnel but a bag is way better

[@Tustanuxo]

What also works is a large spout garden watering can. Seen it used in prefab concrete projects.

[@rushcarlton]

I would argue all 3 of these ideas are better than what they tried the first time around.

Also makes it easy for a little treat as well 😂

They needed to hire about 12 more framers so that they could have gotten it dried in in a couple of weeks instead of four months!

[@bgd5339]

Their quality has been suffering for some time now!

[@Natedoc808]

@@bgd5339 the quality issues shown here seem to be a lot more driven by the homeowner being directly involved in material sourcing rather than it being a PBB issue. For a project this size, you certainly need at least 3 groups of 3 framers, 4 squads of 3 would be better (the 12 you mentioned). On the other hand having built with southern yellow pine, it’s complete shit and not construction grade in my opinion; it’s so unstable you can keep it ratcheted down and in the shade but it will warp, bow and twist an unusable degree in a matter of hours. Pure garbage. We had 50% loss of one lumber package in 2 days. Said F this and switched to spruce which is not only lighter, essentially just as strong in every way if you build to code (spans, nailing schedule, etc.)

[@motivationforlifestylechan6935]

The Jhonooooo maneuver? Outstanding

[@ryanrents126]

Jay talks junk and cuts up and all but man, he's always there. Strikes me as a loyal employee/friend and a standup guy. Same for all the crew of course but in my experience the cut-up is often the one dragging around and slowing everyone down. Jay keeps morale up!

[@keichinger]

It's amazing how much the framing wood has already weathered/changed color. Didn't expect it to look that gray'ish already. Nice work, as usual!

[@tymon995]

I’m pretty sure it’s pressure treated wood on this build.

[@joshmaashio3631]

thats what i noticed. I bet being exposed to the elements that long cause alot of warping. also the standing water on the sub floor. i guess itll alll be covered and dry for the entirety of its life when the house is finished.

[@kyle.brandon]

@@tymon995nah, you don’t use pressure treated. Those would have warped to hell.

[@jzetterman]

​@@joshmaashio3631at least they used a coated subfloor. Hopefully it worked and prevented the wood from absorbing too much water.

[@tymon995]

@@kyle.brandon They mentioned early on in this build that the homeowner went with pressure treated on all the lumber because he got a “deal” on it. The homeowner supplied the lumber. Made no sense to me either.

Quality isn't an accident. Intention of perfection is obvious. The difference between 90 and 100% is appreciated. Your results will NEVER be slammed by Holmes On Homes. Thanks for letting me watch.

Watch out for those galvanized fumes Jamie. It got me once.

[@jbeutell]

I was looking for this comment. I have heard it is nasty. Also is puddle weld another term for plug weld?

[@Z-Bart]

@@jbeutell Felt like some big dude had me in a bear hug for about a week.

[@imasudonem]

@@Z-Bart Ugh. That sounds like no fun. I got yelled at in a welding class way back in the day. Whole class got an earful from the instructor.

Love how you explained it then showed it. I’ll likely never build a floating slab like this but it was great that you brought me along. ❤

[@jmazoso]

That's one of the great thing about the guys.

[@bigs6566]

If that pan is galvanized, the fumes from the weld are pretty toxic. consider a respirator. The trusses almost knocking into the deck columns was a pucker factor moment!

[@smcox1991]

I was looking for this comment. Those sheets are in fact galvanized.

[@imasudonem]

I was wondering about that. maybe set up that leaf blower, at least?

[@ClipSwitchFlashlights]

Yeah, Jamie, if you run a fever and have unexplained nausea, you’re probably experiencing galvanised poisoning. Even just a fan or a blower to help direct fumes away from your face would help.

[@PCMediK]

"What kinda raise are you trying to get right now?“ 🤣🤣🤣 Never change Ray, never change! 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@RossReedstrom]

Since you pre-drilled the hole, that's a plug weld, rather than a puddle weld, where you use the arc to burn through to the supporting steel.

[@mojotarvin5370]

I laughed out loud when Jason said "they almost became decking!" 🤣

[@marshalltille7770]

I fully understand about a store feeling ‘normal’ after a hurricane. It took about 4-7 days here in Augusta GA after the same hurricane.

[@robertjennings5357]

Love it, just love how these guys work “together”!

[@bobbywweaver]

I relate to you so much on that last pier where you think "it'll be OK" and then it takes longer and more work than any other. It's always the last one where you break a bit, strip a screw, or split the wood. Always the last one...

[@GraingerProductions]

So impressed with that suspended slab. Looking great.

[@theronzimmerman9851]

Obviously late, but I found on all the high-rise pandeck projects I've been on, a rotohammer bit will bust right through that pan. It's obnoxiously loud, BUT it's pretty fast and saves your normal drill bits.

[@annalongfield]

This is what we do. Those rotohammer bits will go through almost everything. The new ones that can go through rebar are even better.

[@zTribalstylerz]

That was fun to walk into the vault with you! Kind of a creepy space atm, but I'm sure it's gonna be sick soon. Great singing Jamie! ... great video all around. This house is coming along! Ima save up a million and give you a call 🤣

[@jennastephens1224]

I'm so impressed with your progress! I know normally by part 40, the house would probably be sheathed and have a roof on in most of your builds, but the steel and concrete work on this place is insane. It's turning out so well, and I'm impressed with your tenacity dealing with these more materials that are much heavier, more difficult to use, and take much longer to set up. It's turning out beautifully!

[@westleyjohnson1375]

It’s called plug welding when you’re doing the decking. We never pre drill, we let the rod burn the hole for us, so much faster. Then again I was previously in the ironworkers union lol

[@yodaiam1000]

Where I am from, it's called puddle welding with the steel decking. Plug welding is where you have a predrilled holes in thicker material and then you fill the hole. That is also how it is defined in our code. Technically, with deck you do not pre drill the hole.

[@annalongfield]

I am excited for the crane episode(s). I work with them all the time.

[@Aunty-A]

This thing becomes more and more unbelievable with each video! That weapons vault is terrifying! What’s he going to put in there? A tank?

Glad you guys managed to find Jaimie since the last video, so we could hear that beautiful singing voice of his 🎤🎶

You should look into pre-stressed slabs for your next job with a suspended concrete floor. They deliver the slab to you and it is super strong.

[@andreewert1925]

If you dont have Tapcons, like for that Grout Form, you can use Deck screws but first insert a piece of wire in the drilled hole first...it will coil around the screw and anchor it..from an - Home Builder -Italian Contractor tip..

That particular product reverts back to a liquid state even if you initially make it firm.

[@andrewcarmen3556]

I've grouted a lot of columns and bearing plates and never used a form. We just mixed it super dry and packed it in with a 45 chamfer from the plate to the crete.

[@situational.analysis]

Of all the different applications of Zip tape that this crew does, not thinking to use Zip Tape to seal the forms from leaking when pouring is hilarious.

[@TARWCreations]

Surely with the amount of work you do, you could get a deal with a rental company to have a telehandler on site to make life easier. Maybe you could find a second hand 1 to buy but then you’ve got the cost recovery, storage, insurance…etc to worry about

[@1packatak]

Not now with the hurricane

[@subliminalbmx]

Seeing you boys do civil work/ pour grout after I’ve done it for god knows how long is hilarious. 😅 for small leaks, paper towel is your friend. Jam it in where it’s leaking hold it for a few seconds and it’ll hold itself. I think you’ll find drilling that pan just with the SDS bit will work fine. Although it’ll be loud. I see you guys are still not using height nails on your forms. My old boss would skin me if he seen me ripping boards down 🤣🤣

[@annalongfield]

As structural welder, I hate stick welding 7018 but it's better 6010. I prefer flux core. It's gravy compared to running stick. Either way, that's a good bit of welding for a house.

[@seansmart2038]

IMO, 2 reasons PBB channel excellent: [1.] they are foremost, professional builders(!) who on the side publish YTube videos -- NOT KZbinrs (who are almost always 99% focused on $$ - no real care about that which building)... so (again) b/c doing serious things, *can* mix in silly/funny/etc - like Jaime singing in this Pt.#40 video. and [2.] great mix of peeps! are like great hoops team - everyone offers a complimentary 'something'.

Get a telehandler! This is from experience. Small crew, big house, you need the right equipment.

[@michaelkaster5058]

you assume they can get one. With all the roofs that need fixing after the hurricane, I'd imagine they are pretty hard to come by. Surprised the crane would of come if it wasn't broken down.

[@KyleMelsonOKC]

@@michaelkaster5058 Should have had one from day one. Besides, large companies like united rentals will ship one from out of state if it's needed.

[@caffeinetremors]

If you watched Matt Cremona's build videos of his barn, he used his telehandler constantly and it made a huge difference. A used one is $30-60k, not cheap but it will pay for itself quickly and they can be used to unload trucks and move materials around on site and like a million other things. OSHA-approved man-baskets let you avoid needing scaffolding in some cases.

[@chriswatts923]

It wouldn't do any good, telehandlers wouldn't have enough reach and height for the trusses, think it would struggle with reach even lower given the weight of the trusses!

[@Ogilla]

​@@michaelkaster5058 They had many months to get one. They're just always avoiding to pay for cranes and such equipments.

If you mix the grout to a consistency that's almost like coffee grounds fresh after a brew, then you can pack it with a trowel and shape it

[@markdalton55]

You do not have to drill out the decking for the spot weld. If it’s a 7018 rod, the weld itself will cut through the decking. Jeez, there’s probably a YT video on decking spot weld out there. 🤷🏻 And every other or every third valley would work. You’ll have tons of concrete on top. 👍
