This video follows a construction crew working on a basement foundation project. They encounter various challenges, such as dealing with uneven ground, precisely fitting a steel door frame, and managing the complex steel reinforcement. The team showcases their problem-solving skills, using creative solutions like building a wooden frame to represent the door opening and carefully lifting and positioning the steel header. The video highlights the attention to detail and teamwork required in this type of construction work, as the crew navigates through unexpected obstacles to ensure the project is completed correctly.

Maybe it's just what you catch on camera, but of all your guys I feel that Jason has evolved and grown the most. He's learned to think proactively vs. reactively, which goes a long way on the job site. Bravo, Jason!

[@kierandoherty1600]

Doing projects for himself would force him to think steps ahead

[@GerardHaight]

Jason is very smart. His wife makes him be smart. - she probably Prays for him A lot.

[@YeahNoTellTheTruth]

​@@GerardHaightsuch a weird thing to say. I mean why go the extra length to take credit away from the guy and give it to some imaginary force that supposedly his wife prays to... It's obvious you're just pushing your religion here. But I'd say his hard work, professionalism and capability is showing. His wife supporting him may be the case. And that's it.

Nice to see Truewerk sending some swag to the new guy on your crew! Great clothing and a great gesture on their behalf!

@@SwisherNoSweets Are you starting a betting pool

[@stijndesmet4811]

@@SwisherNoSweets they just need to pour it in 0.5m increments and let the concrete set just a little before pouring the next layer. This decreases the hydrostatic pressure at the botom a lot.

[@rutvikcontractor3736]

Agree

[@rob87bro]

Why did they use this method instead of laying bock? This seems to take way longer? Just curious I’m genuinely asking why.

[@norapaez3988]

Jamie, you are an awesome teacher, we appreciate your explanation on your builds.

[@robinknight7155]

You men are amazing. Love how you solve problems. Jaime never ceases to come up with a solution. But also, he has a sharp mind that anricipates and / or recognizes potential problems. I've enjoyed watching this team for over a year. Good quality videos.

[@rhondakennedy819]

Let Jamie talk! I like to learn. Jamie does all the work no one else wants to do. So, I can't even picture what is going on here. I have watched you build houses & this has never been done. Love these kids. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all

[@AdaMakawee]

Those shirts on you two are awesome. I love how you just put them on and went with them. As always, its great watching you work.

[@JoshGathings]

Put a little bit of hand soap and water in an empty gain jug with the spicket on it, and you'll always have hand washing water no matter the jobsite.

[@rickscott2568]

It is pretty cool to see how Jason's skills have improved since he stepped out of the real estate world and became a Perkin's builder.That says a lot about you guys.

[@brightmindengineering]

Super great video and series! The header that Jamie describes as steel and concrete would preferably just be called a "concrete beam" and it would need reinforcement which is the steel bar you place inside. Keep up the great work 🤟

[@ppomm]

As much as I love seeing a professional concrete crew do this a million times faster - it's enjoyable as heck to see you all working through the figure-it-out aspects of setting concrete forms. I assume Jamie did the math and figured they'd still save money DIYing it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@KernelBill]

In the prior video (or the one before that) Jamie talked about how scheduling a professional crew was like 2 months out in that area. I’m probably wrong on the exact time but it was too long to sit around and wait. And he didn’t want to take another filler job like that termite repair house to fill in the gaps.

[@ranman121279]

Letting Jamie speak. Love it!

Just another Friday, after a long day at work, and loven relaxing, watching yee Guy's, incredible.working as a team. Most of all been work mate's, but been Buddies, how good is that ,

[@holbroak]

To space the rebar from the floor or top of doorways or even forms, you can buy little concrete blocks with some wires sticking out. You tie them onto the rebar.

[@jackmoyer2174]

Kudos to Max for his hard work and good work ethic.

[@DezSUrban]

I am filming my build for the first time, hoping to start a youtube channel of my own inspired by your video. Looking forward to the rest of the series, thank you for sharing!

[@michaelc.3812]

Eric, thanks for giving Jaime a lot more room to opine on his thinking and his ideas. Yes, he can be verbose, but he does a great job and he’s aware of his need to be “verbally minimal”. My brother is WAY more talkative, but he tends to raise the dB levels, which Jaime doesn’t do!! Thanks for another great video.

[@T.E.P..]

I love how Jaime kept his cool when his brother Erik kept bragging how awesome it will be to see NEW tools that no one has seen yet ..... And Jaime isn't going on that trip. Jaime just grinned HaHaha

[@surceldragoos]

how good that you have an area where there are probably no earthquakes, in Romania TONS OF IRON are used for a foundation. and the assembly scheme of the reinforcements is quite a challenge

[@LimestoneCoastCustoms]

You have no idea how many memories this brings back for me. I've used this system many a time, one of the most memorable was to form an underground tank under a garage. of course it was "ME" who got to strip it after the pour but that's ok. I've always loved the ease at which these panels would go together & just as importantly, strip! Though I am in Australia, they seem to be exactly the same as what we used some 20-30 years ago. I dearly miss construction & if there is one thing I can take from watching you guys, is probably the main reason was the guys I worked with over so many years is what made it so good!! If only age & better health were on my side, I'd be back there in a heartbeat, Thankyou for the memories, great comradery & commitment to good workmanship! 👍

[@davidwheat1963]

Not supposed to get form release oil on the rebar. Just on the forms. You WANT the concrete to bond to the rebar. Inspector should have mentioned that.

[@donovandavidsonAlton]

This is some build way outside your comfort zone it's going slow to start and will catch up later. Looks good just watching the plans taking place. Wow from the UK.

[@disklamer]

I love how the process of setting rebar and forms and headers for a structure like this is basically routine stuff - stuff that was figured out ages ago and you could basically find step by step instructions for all of it, or get someone in who has some reasonable experience with the process, but no. Invent the wheel every single day. I am not complaining, it is super entertaining to watch you figure it all out. I hope it all holds guys.

[@raystormont]

The each 10" wide vault jamb will have about 4725 lbs of lateral/ shear force trying to push the form which is why the need for strong forms for concrete are neded to prevent distortation and more important a blow out. Both jambs will need to safely support almost 10,000 pounds of lateral force trying to crush the vault door form, make it strong. Ray Stormont PS The total lateral force trying to push your forms apart for the appx 180 linear feet of 8' high forms will be over 2 million lbs.

[@adamschlenz6246]

When installing the lumber to the footing, drill a 3/16” hole install a piece of tie wire into not the hole and then hammer a 16d duplex nail home. It will be easier to strip that lumber and save a few pennies over the tap cons.

Pro tip Eric for hand washing out a cap on the jig but back it out halfway so water can trickle out in a controlled flow

[@67amiga]

I love watching you guys work. Looking forwards to when your finally ready to pour concrete. I once watched some guys in the Azores set up forms and pour concrete as the base for a new Radome for a new tower and radar system I was installing back when I was in the Air Force. They used very little rebar, but the base only had to support the weight of the Radome and the panels are just fiberglass.

Hey Ray. Since you like Lego's, convince Erik to do an ICF basement next time. Lego's for big kids. It will be way more fun for you guys than a week of this crap!😂 Easier and better than laying concrete blocks also.

[@DiamondDustAndVerdigris]

They can't do ICF in their area, due to termite concerns. But I like the way you think! Stack 'em! 😁

[@markstipulkoski1389]

@@DiamondDustAndVerdigris I actually started to tell Ray to not let Erik convince him they couldn't do ICF due to termites. That's not true!. Erik's house has an ICF basement and he had trouble finding a pest control service to treat and warranty the treatment. They have a dedicated video about it and that is the reason they use concrete blocks for basements. I wonder if Erik ever found a company who covered him. I'm pretty sure this is the last formed concrete wall we will see them do and they will go back to blocks. It is not against code to use ICF in NC. Guildbrook Farm YT channel did it and there are several crews in NC that do ICF. There are termite shield membranes and other products to mitigate subterranean termites and if it is documented that they were used you might not have a problem finding a company to cover you. The measures are to seal the foam below grade, forcing them to build mud tunnels on the outside walls to reach wood. The tunnels let inspectors know the termites are present. I plan on building an ICF house to the roof in western NC in a few years. It would be a blast having the Perkins Brothers build it and good content for them.✌️
