New ICF Build!!! First Pour with Elements ICF!!!!

[@fwdsrq]

Great video. Can you expand a bit on what you're talking about with the step up at 7:19? Do you mean that the step up gives the ICF blocks lateral stability that prevents them from shifting on their long axis relative to the foundation? And is the final slab therefore a split level?

Awesome product!

Great video. Looks like you used the Fast Foot there, but poured the footing separately. When/why do you do a single pour, and why sometimes not? You may have have said that but I missed it.

So with monopour the juice has gotta be worth the squeeze…. It takes more labor to set up and it’s much harder to brace it to keep it perfectly straight and level…. In any situation where we are trying to refuse water under pressure it is worth it, but on a foundation, especially one like this where the slab is many feet above the cold joint and there’s nothing but gravel below anyway it isn’t…. Fastfoot installed non mono like this can easily yield one of the most level footings you could ever ask for, my guys were only required to shim 3-4 spots in 500’! Plus since we tailgate poured it there was no extra pump to consider!

@@all3pools That makes sense. Thanks.

Gotta get a camera that has a time-lapse option. Oh and a tripod. 😂

[@all3pools]

Have both…. What part of I can’t show my amish did you miss…?🤔

[@doublemc2633]

​@all3pools your editiing software might/should have mask blur for time-lapse just depends on what you are using.

[@all3pools]

It does and if u go back a year or two on my channel ull see that I used it, they were going to quit over it, not worth it

[@butopiatoo]

Exactly go watch some Bondo videos. I mean I can understand that when the concrete arrives that's job 1. anyway looks like a good project.

[@butopiatoo]

Your tremie looks huge. Why so long? Did you actually slide it along the wall or pick it up and move it in place as you worked down the wall?

[@all3pools]

It slid east

[@butopiatoo]

@@all3pools wow interesting

[@kyleh7390]

you are so amazing! 😍

Guess element did a big ole advertising dump between risinger and all the other decent build channels

[@all3pools]

Ya I had already shot mine but had an issue with the upload last week and didn’t want it posting late so waited a week

[@raystraining3206]

@all3pools I have my GC app in the fl dbpr waiting currently but my first build is going to be an ICF home. Honestly what's your opinion on which block to use. Cost is definitely a major factor. I like that the element web slides up and down.

[@all3pools]

Right now my choices would be element, fox, Nudura/build in that order, but element in a solid first…. I’m not talking price in a big way because I’m not sure it’s going to be this way for long but they’ve kept their old pricing…. So cheaper+better= no brainer…. It should honestly cost at least as much as fox and nudura

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

@@all3poolsHad you considered Perfect Block? If so, what disqualifies it for you as a preferred ICF system?

[@SchondorfEnt]

Amazing stuff.

[@all3pools]

Thanks!
