Fox Blocks crawl space Foundation Part 1

This is how you start an ICF foundation for a crawl space for a small house or camp or cabin. We use Fox Blocks for this one but you could use any Insulated Concrete Forms you wanted in the same manor.

I love watching pro's laying down that mud. Your guys made that look like child's play, which I know from experience, it's not. It is Very hard work and if you don't know what you're doing, its even harder . After watching your crew, they definitely impress. Nice Job Boys..

[@bondobuilt386]

Thanks 😀

I can tell them boys know those safety & security things! They no playing around with thems!

[@seancasey2444]

Don't you guys have extra chutes to reach across I never see Mike Day with a wheelbarrow he just adds extra chutes to reach all over the pour.

[@bondobuilt386]

Well Mike pours it wet so it flows along ways. We pour our concrete at a low slump so it will not flow like his does.

[@aarongrabowski3775]

@@bondobuilt386Mike is not pouring too wet. He uses water reducers so that it seems like its wet. Mike adds more chutes because he is pouring basements. Basements are in the ground deeper than frost walls so he has the height to add chutes. Concrete flows down chutes because the chutes are dropping.

[@highlorddarkstar]

@@aarongrabowski3775he didn’t say Mike was pouring “too” wet. He said Mike used a different style of pouring. Both styles work for basements, but Bondo has a method that works for his size of job and crew.

[@seancasey2444]

@@aarongrabowski3775 I've seen him use extra chutes on patio pours to not just basements that's why I asked that question.

LISTEN THIS IS KAMALA HARRIS - and I can suck the chrome off a trailer hitch ANYHOW ! Safety is only as good as your FOX block glue. If the glue is not as good then your FOX is not gonna be glued and that's bad.. When it's bad that's not good so you wanna be good and make use the glued block is done not bad but good. Just incase your wanna be good..

[@theslawek]

Is this technically called a rat slab since it's a poured crawl space? Any downsides or extra long-term mitigations needed?

[@highlorddarkstar]

I think “rat-slab” refers to a thinner layer (1 or 2 inches) poured in to prevent burrows but isn’t meant to be structural. So it is defined by type of floor, not location of floor. What they’re installing is a full on floor slab.

[@AndyB718]

nice little job! not being a smartass, but doesn't the concrete over-pour defeat the purpose of drainage under the slab?

No there was still tons of stone to let water get out to the drain and I put a sleeve through the footer to let water work out to the drain.
