Farmhouse Duplex: Pouring Footings w/ a Boom Pump! #4

[@MattBangsWood]

Can you guess how many yards we poured? I'll post the answer here in a few hours.

[@Brandon-td2sm]

47 cubic yards?

[@andreleblanc1963]

19 yards

[@Mfurze90]

27

[@yadielcarrasquillo6455]

50 yards

[@kipcarroll5644]

80 yds

[@TALONTEDGUY]

Concrete waits for no man...Big Facts. God bless the finishers.

[@saulmoreno3252]

I haven't seen this type of footings poured. I've seen mono, block and slab on grade. Up here we usually do footing and stem wall with concrete forms to help control the amount of material used. Either way keep up the killer work!!!

[@framnerdan]

Hi Matt. Always get a kick out of how you and your crew get to leave the plan on the table UNATTENDED! We have no such luxury here in Southern Alberta. Great videos again. Take care

[@BuiltByBaileys]

Always crazy to see how shallow footings can be in other states like Cali...always love the videos. Watching this series so I can send over to an apprentice I am mentoring in hopes of getting him his GC license down the road.

[@T.E.P.]

great video ... the channel keeps growing and growing and the content is always informative and a good watch

[@FreeMenLiveHere]

Wish our guys wrapped the anchor bolts up like this. Great job guys! One great prank we like is when the masons leave huge chunks of mortar for us to chip off before starting the sill plate. Its so hard to rake wet mortar off a block or brick with your trowel.

[@maritimeoutdoors]

I hated how we do foundations up where I live, until I saw this. This looks like so much work. And pricy! Using 2x12 lol.

[@LongieR8er]

Matt quick pro-tip on forming where pipes are against your form(especially on outside walls) measure 4 inches on either side of pipes.....transfer your mark onto the forms and cut vertically all the way through on a 45 degree....slap on a plywood Gussett on the outside of forms and what you’re left with is a pipe encased in 1-1/2 of concrete because of the form cut out.......also my guess is 33 yards of concrete poured, love your vids keep’M coming.

[@alexclaassen664]

Another great video brother! Appreciate the time you put in these videos for us! 🙌👏👏

[@cmiller6352]

Nice edit when the hose tender jumped the form. Seamless.

[@MattBangsWood]

I loved that transition. Thank you!

[@Sean-ct6wr]

What’s the time stamp of that edit pls?

[@braturomeo6016]

I belive that if you were more carefull with the digging of the trench banks you would save a truck of concrete or more from overspill.

[@mikeandrade3629]

Nice shots man. Appreciate the video

[@dennisdavila1869]

Great series on footings and foundation set up and concrete pour! You did a great job vibrating the concrete!,👍 5 nine yard trucks and 5 yard clean up guessing 50 yards.

[@brettgallagher259]

That method seems like a lot of wasted concrete ?

[@wilkinsoncarpentry6278]

Does hey I thought same but with it on that angle upto where the formwork is that’s a stronger footing

[@philmoore71]

any ideas why the formwork didn't go all the way to the ground (in most places)?

[@Chris_Moncada]

I’m wondering this too. Guessing the slab will tie all together?

[@MattBangsWood]

Slab will tie in together, I needed 15" wide footings. 4" cold joint from stem wall to finished floor.

[@ingeniousgeneralconstructi5285]

Can you show this at the plans/drawing I’m confused. Why won’t you add some 2.12 in the side

[@MrTheBurkes]

At least, like, 4 yards. Awesome video, great tip with the foil sheets

[@MattBangsWood]

Great guess.

[@andrewhagler9391]

57 yards +-, good work fellas

[@brandonjones5096]

So I've always wondered, taking into consideration the entire process, from digging trenches for the foundation down to installing door knobs and cabinet hinges and everything in between, what is your least favorite part of building a home? And what's your favorite? As an architect I can say my least favorite is dimensioning the plans. It's so repetitive and you really don't feel like you got much done when you finish. My favorite part is drawing the elevations. It's always the most satisfying part of the plan design for me.

[@ethandariane5060]

It’s cool watching how you guys do it out in the west coast. We do things completely different in Missouri haha keep it up. We’re the same way we do foundation and all. We rough in our plumbing as well.

[@jerryminyard7460]

You have a good crew

[@EliteExoticsBp]

Yep we wrap in foil too , or sleeve with plastic pipe pre cut

[@jbll36]

Hi Matt. Crete looks good. Be able to start framing soon. The fun part. Enjoy the day. Ray L

[@alfonsom2385]

Everyone: *has work boots on* Matt: *vans*:"man he has no idea how much a nail to the foot hurts"

[@jimmygutierrez-solorio7928]

How did you remove does stakes buried by the concrete? Did you break the tips off and leave the rest inside the footers?

[@MattBangsWood]

Smack with a sledge before it sets up, they pull out.

[@billstobie4872]

Curious what slump the concrete was?

[@floorrez308]

No 16 duplex nailes to set forms? with the Simpson hold downs tie them with tie wire wrap an 8 in them save money on screws

[@californiadreamer3771]

Awesome video!

[@mikeso5963]

How do you take these sticks out?

[@foxman4489]

When do you remove the forms and braces?

[@BWIL2515]

Always great footage of your videos the drone was great i had to pump in a pour 30 years ago cost was 375 and it pissed me off

[@henryvargas2915]

Nice job love it 👍🏽

[@redneckgoatfarmer]

Are these your footings and your foundation walls? Will you back fill with gravel next, insulate, poly, and then pour slab? Or are you going higher with concrete block or more concrete?

[@10abrod]

I’d say around 1,110 for setup 6hr minimum for a total of around 1300 including setup and yards pumped

[@nuenen75ehv76]

6h ? That's a 45min pour

[@10abrod]

That’s baseline for the pump showing up regardless if it’s more or less than 6 hours. Anything over would be additional p/hr

[@sethharjo2445]

Learning lots of new things bro ima framer so it helps a lot man

[@CARLOSGONZALEZ-kq1od]

What psi was the concrete?

[@pachecolljk]

Why are there height limitations? Just so that houses all look the same in the neighborhood?

[@stevebaker5642]

in New Zealand, the height laws are regards 'shadows & over-looking boundaries' - given the position this build was in regards to the others close by, maybe that's the same?

[@pachecolljk]

@@stevebaker5642 that makes sense, thanks for taking time to reply! 😁

[@Andrewnewman11]

Good pour day for sure!! Good stuff 🤘😁🤘 I think the pump is 500 plus whatever they charge a yard idk for sure.

[@richardbrophy4120]

I wonder if a hot air balloon could be used to tie over the build and tether tarps to keep the rain out of the ditches etc might work .

[@charlieshwan5574]

What do you do with all the wood you pull off the concrete forming?

[@stevebaker5642]

use it for the next one...?... that's what we do here ... give it a rough scrape down, then use it on the next form-work -- hell of a waste of timber otherwise.....

[@mertsendil6755]

What are the measurements in centimeters of the lumber you use on the outer and inner walls?

[@wilkinsoncarpentry6278]

Hence the high price hire for a pump, understandably.... works out a lot cheaper than Manuel labour haha but there’s situations you have no choice but to use a pump

[@johanntoews4840]

Looks good 👍

[@MrTexasDan]

I just had a low-water crossing poured (~70 yards). The small pumper cost I think $1800 for 6 hours. I don't think they have any trouble making their $8k payment every month.

[@MattBangsWood]

They definitely don't have issues paying it. The owner did say he got a bit uneasy with 8 units a month on payments. Nearly $100K a month needing to be paid out.

[@titanicgaming202]

Center distance of anchor bolt.

[@kenactofkindness4017]

you pumped some did pour any lol that the trick question or how much u ordered in concrete go 3500 next tiime lol

[@kenactofkindness4017]

3500 psi do a cylinder break test , would see 3000 gets to 4200 actual design strength

[@mikecox9214]

Where did the trucks and the pump do clean outs on such a small lot?

[@jodyrolandconstruction6577]

I’d say between 55 to 60 yards of Crete. Just curious but how much are you paying for a yard out your way? Down south we’re paying about 160 per yard.

[@yadielcarrasquillo6455]

We pay $165.00

[@jksconstructioninc.3396]

Up here in Northern California we are around 145. I was thinking about 60 yards as well.

[@leonelchavez4469]

Termites are going to have a feast with this house with all that wood they left buried 😢

[@kailebferris5145]

Can you do a video on how you guys do stair stringers?

[@nuenen75ehv76]

Boom in Holland 250 dollar and 6 dollar per kubik yard first 10 yards free

[@pawitarsingh7224]

Hi Matt, I just saw that the concrete truck says Calpoly, is this project in central coast by San Luis Obispo?

[@MattBangsWood]

Yeah, Cal Poly is local to me.

[@jerry1769]

What were you doing with that tool? The one you were dipping into the concrete.

[@MattBangsWood]

Concrete Vibrator. Vibrates the concrete and allows it to fill voids that would otherwise leave air pockets / voids.

[@ulimontiel8543]

Nice

[@amiscauich]

Dope Truewerk hoodie. Have the same one. You should try out the T2 pants. Hella comfortable

[@tuckerarbuthnot9130]

I’d say about 60 but hard to estimate in video! Love the series

[@MattBangsWood]

Very good guess.

[@kenduke4606]

Concrete like send is this foundation method cheaper faster then a blocks or brick foundation cause all that lumber can do a decking without plywood, lol, time spend nailing up all the lumber the brick or block foundation would of been finished and back filling and compacting stated.

[@MouseyEdits]

How much did it cost to have the boom pump there?

[@sandercurtis1847]

That's a lot of concrete!

[@gordonclark7632]

That was one huge pour. Easy for me to say from Australia and not knowing anything about the subject but - I thought that the pour would have been better with the hose a bit lower so that there wasn't so much splashing over the forms. I think you Americans say - Just saying.

[@stevebaker5642]

probably couldn't be much lower due to the overhead lines

[@HippieP629]

Yea I kinda thought the same. Maybe a foot lower +shrugs+ Matt, how long's the curing time for the concrete?

[@gone9677]

Shut up bitch

[@Roy-yt2bt]

Pump truck probably is around 200 to 250 an hour?

[@Timbo4413]

How come the concrete guy didn’t pour to the top of your form boards on the first go around? Just curious

[@earllll]

Gives the first pass a chance to set up. If you poured it all in one go the weight of the extra concrete would cause the lower section to flow out the bottom

[@yadielcarrasquillo6455]

What is the cost per yard of concrete?

[@svensvrgen6336]

100 per yard typically just for the ready mix

[@clydenakashima7393]

Just curious why not do a monolithic pour.

[@stevebaker5642]

2 reasons i can think of - 1 is, what the architect/engineer specified for the soil conditions, & 2 is, the inverted T that matt poured will hold the building down better to the ground

[@alexsanford3697]

For anchor bolts, why not just wait for foundation to be poured, and then place anchor bolts after the fact.

[@fabianramirezfire2899]

Cool

[@eveliohernandez6802]

Like all your videos...My dad was a constructor, I grew up with that....non expert, but I think with better forming can save a lot of concret....Sorry, don't want to bother you !! Just saying!!! Waiting for the next.....

[@stevebaker5642]

I agree - an extra board or 2 around the outside would help hold this inverted T foundation in place, but perhaps harder to remove later?

[@MattBangsWood]

No worries at all. The inside can't be formed down to the ground, my footings are required to 15" wide, which is how wide they were dug. Looks misleading, but had to be that way.

[@Kegz10]

I’m not a mason but I’m in the construction trade and that just seems like a lot of wastes concrete not have the form go lower... so you don’t have concrete filling a 2ft wide hole al the way up idk 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@MattBangsWood]

My footings are required to be 15" wide by 18" deep, I can't have 6" by 18".. By no means is it wasted, the slab will tie in and everything goes together.

[@MattBangsWood]

The 6" that is formed is to represent my wall and give me a cold joint to tie the finished floor into.

Im all for doing things right so homes can last hundreds of years even if it takes going thru all that regulation and bureaucracy but do you guys think we really need all that or would people do a crap job if we didn’t?

[@marcosmota1094]

a) California, b) Earthquakes. if your neighbor is a cheap idiot and their house explodes in a post-earthquake fire, then that's not cool that it risks yours in the same conflagration. Same as if your water lines or sewage lines crack and need repair because the soil settled too much. Now your neighbors lose peace and quiet because your home is a constant source of damage, repair, and noise.

[@Bill_N_ATX]

It’s 65% needed and 35% graft, greed, and corruption. Every time they add a new regulation they have to have another inspector to verify it. Then perfection becomes the enemy of the good. I just can’t see wasting the 10 or 20 yards they used pouring the foundation the way that they did. Not blaming Matt, that’s how it’s done there. But in California there isn’t any real push to save money in some neighborhoods. It’s why 1000sf bungalows cost over a million bucks. It’s just nuts.

You can look on craigslist in the skilled labor section under jobs. Or try asking someone you may know that works construction. If that don't work go to home depot and wait by the lumber section.
