Log Cabin Build- We moved 8 cubic yards of Concrete

[@georgeteo8797]

You are such a blessed man… health, freedom and a great helper. Don’t forget to thank her… I am in the middle of restoring my third house and I had to do it all alone while working a full time job and raising 3 children… I am now 60 and I am just tired… nothing to enjoy, only pain at the end of the day, and burning at night.

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Thank you I am blessed! Hope your situation improves.

[@kristingrounds4163]

Wow that was a lot of bags to move! Kudos to the wife for helping!! Scared the crap out of me when you almost tipped the vehicle

[@DemasiLogCabin]

She was a lot of help! And yes, not my brightest moment with the mule! 😂

[@truvintage5800]

Dude, I haven't commented in awhile and was busy all summer but I jumped back on to see what you've been up. Glad I did, keep up the awesome job and letting us come along!

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Thank you! Welcome back, and Glad to see your comments again!

[@chasjacks9378]

I have seen that mixer and works great. It will cut pouring time well over half do remember it costs $2500. Keep it clean and clean after every use an d then when your done you can resell it and get some of your mi]money back. Can not wait until next week to see the start of the pour. Props to Mamma for coming and helping with eh hard labor work.

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Thanks for the tips! Sure was great having the extra hands! Counting the hours until the pour!

[@Jeremy_936]

Gotta admire a guy that says, what the hell, I'll just do it myself.... a road, a barn, a log cabin, and now concrete. Good job man!

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Thank you! very much appreciated!

[@Home-11]

That's a lot of bags of cement! Rest up, next week will be a rough one! Nothing like family! 😉👍

[@DemasiLogCabin]

It sure is, more work than I anticipated! But a couple days rest should do it! Have a great weekend!

[@ceuser7865]

You and your family are amazing!!! This build is amazing!

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Too kind! Thank you!! 🙏

[@VinnieRed71]

[@g.eeducation251]

Good work buddy. It been good work.

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Thank you!! 🙏

[@indyfastal]

It's much easier when you have your wife & a big helper boy to assist...😁

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Absolutely! Always good to have them up there!

[@williamhill9432]

Your wisecrack about “teacher meetings” is so true and really has me laughing. It reminds me of a Bible verse from the New Testament: “the blind leading the blind”.

[@DemasiLogCabin]

It’s sad state of affairs in some places!

[@RobinJones-ow9oz]

All I can say is WOW

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Thank you Robin!

[@edpeerdeman4537]

[@davidblake7998]

A lot of lifting, but yall got it 👍

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Thank you!

[@jimriffel6969]

Loving this! I noticed the inside out t-shirt. Are you starting a fashion trend? 😂 Seriously, I don't live too far away, if I weren't too old now, I would offer to come and help.

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Appreciate that! Good eye, sometimes I wear the t shirts inside out. 🤷 haha

[@estudiantecristiano398]

Haha, I was cracking up remembering the meetings! Definitely not productive. Definitely not missed.

[@DemasiLogCabin]

😂 definitely not!!! I hope your guys are doing well!

[@judyrice3883]

Wow. Wow. Wow

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Thank you, Judy!

[@douglasthompson2740]

I have seen a stack like those fall when the top one was grabbed. Busted several.

[@DemasiLogCabin]

I’ll keep that in mind on mix day.

[@douglasthompson2740]

Stacking the bags straight up is asking for a collapse (probably at the worst time). Criss cross them as they originally were on the pallets. It is called "tying" the stack and immensely increases the stability.

[@DemasiLogCabin]

If I was going to stack for any significant time I would have restacked them the same way they were originally stacked on the pallet. But since I will be using them shortly I’ve stacked them in the most convenient way I could figure to get them in the mixer. Thanks for the comment.

[@Dag12324]

did 500 bags in a day with a 2-bag mixer and finished as i went. before daylight till after dark. had to take 3 days off after that and would never do it again

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Whoa! That sounds intense! I’m hoping this mixer makes things smoother, I’ll know in the next 24 hours

[@maryfoster1395]

Taught for 38 years and have to agree the meetings are very boring😂😂😂😂😂

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Yes indeed! Congrats on the length of your career!

[@bobme2787]

I have heard people say that if you drive metal rebar into dirt it could rust and the rusting rebar will negatively effect the cement. If you use fiberglass rebar that won't happen.

[@DemasiLogCabin]

I have also seen that, I only drove the spikes into the dirt for running string lines, the j bar rebar for the wall is tied into the horizontal rebar for exactly the reason you stated.

[@Team_Fortress2]

Notificaion squad where you at? 👀

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Team Fortress is here!! 💪

[@terryradford4762]

If I was in your country, I’d help out few days 👍

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Appreciate the offer

[@jonathanhouser8194]

I already offered. He don't want the help.

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Jonathan, no offense meant, I just don’t mind working alone.

[@jayisaac5183]

So this is going be your forever home? Unless you want a new challenge.

[@DemasiLogCabin]

That’s a good question, I hope we can keep this one, but a lot of factors play into it. We will have to see when we get closer to the end.

[@icrewheloso8588]

Working with rebar you just have to overlap a certain distance. No need to bend any thing. Corners make no difference just overlap from the other direction. Good luck on the pour. Verticals just pound them next to you horizontals into the ground and tie them to the horizontals.

[@DemasiLogCabin]

I’ve seen a debate about having the rebar in the ground. It will rust and bring water into the concrete and rust the rebar out prematurely.

[@icrewheloso8588]

@@DemasiLogCabin by the looks of his soil it should not be aproblem. He should put a drain around it anyway if he is using it as a crawl space.

[@DemasiLogCabin]

The plan is a full walkout basement, I’ll plan some drainage on top of the footings.

[@Thomas-y3w]

nice, badass wifey

She’s strong 💪!

[@jimriffel6969]

Have you tried asking eco-flo, jackery, or one of the others about sponsoring you with a solar generator system?

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Bluetti did send me a small solar setup last year. I use it to power my battery tools which had been pretty helpful, but it isn’t large enough for the higher drawing tools. But it’s a good idea, maybe if my channel gets a little bigger

[@TARAetJOHN]

did you see under your 4 wheel , your muffler pipi is almost fully frighten may not good for the motor

[@DemasiLogCabin]

I’m just seeing what you’re talking about now, that’s actually my truck. ill have to take a look at it later today! Thanks for the heads up!
