PLAYING GIANT HOPSCOTCH (Rebar Tying in Concrete Slab)

[@jeffkerneen1210]

Eric is a real PRO! Excellent technique using the circular saw to make a cove cut in the foam. They are very lucky to have him on the pour!

[@waiakalulu3501]

Very,very lucky to have that help. Those two are worth their weight in gold. That guy has got skills and killer tools. That lady is kind and patient. Y'all remember the water tank work! Seems like a distant memory now!

[@TheNarrowboatExperience]

Just wanted to say how addicted we have become to this build. Wishing you all the best from England.

[@richardbrooks3569]

You two are the hardest working couple I have ever seen. You have accomplished great things. The couple who has helped you for the last few days have been really busting their asses as well. I am looking forward to the pour.

[@kenschinkel1499]

The amount of work that the four of you did in one day was pretty impressive. You two owe then a great deal. I don't know who the other guy is but he seems to have a wealth of knowledge. Having someone like him helping is better than any internet or youtube video could ever provide. Keep you the great work.

[@MrPhillipHBrown]

This is a great way to start your day 5AM and I get to see a young couple living their dream. In this strange world we live in you two are doing something that very few people have the guts to undertake. I read the trolls and cant believe that they are so hurtful and rude. Keep up the good work, learn from your mistakes, enjoy and celebrate your victories. Looking forward to seeing you complete your project.

[@tammyreed-belshabsnrn3513]

I love watching your story! To see the joy on your faces when you have a lil help is so sweet. And when you keep it real when other times aren't as smooth....I love watching you and think y'all rock. Hugs from Louisiana.

[@BarryHull]

Terry and Eric seem like the nicest people!

[@barbarahogan4796]

Proud of you two. I remember when my husband and I built our house how happy to see help. 👍 for sure.

[@MadnomadM]

Was really nice watching Eric and Terri helping out. Eric seems like a God send.

[@doctorjohn-burgtekie]

Shout-out to Eric and Terri great work and job knowledge.

[@jerrysparks725]

Man Eric saved you guys a lot of time he is awesome

[@Gotafish1]

Having Eric and Terry come and help you at this point was great. Having a professional who knows the ins and outs of your situation has great value. I personally thank you both for coming all the way from Missouri to share your expertise and hard work. If one wonders why I would thank them its because they are awesome people.

[@boat6868]

I agree. I think this would have been an October pour is these two "helpers" had not arrived. If this doesn't show them the value of having someone with experience on the job site, at least periodically, nothing will. If I was Jesse the first thing I would be doing after these guys left would be looking for an experienced construction foremen who wanted to do some moonlighting.

[@mojavemafia]

I've enjoyed ALL the videos so far but the last 2 have been a cut above. I really loved the time lapse segments in this one! Thanks for sharing and all the hard work that goes into making these videos!

[@mmc2377ify]

I know nothing about building a house but one thing I'd suggest is put Eric on the payroll until the end it's worth more then you can pay him i guarantee

[@ThomFlu]

6:27 now that's a man whose done this a time or two

[@alexandernoelturner725]

Nice to hear you laughing, You all have had a great day. Australia

[@daves.9479]

@ 6:30 using the circ. saw to cut a rounded channel in the foam----slick.

[@TheKajunkat]

Also known as the Polish plane. Used quite a bit in framing carpentry

[@HepauDK]

Just my thought. Saw it and thought "woah, hadn't thought of that. Nice!". ...And started thinking about how to put it to use. :)

[@philsbbs]

The extra help has really paid off. Great Team Work.

[@Alu152]

Eric and Terry need their own channel

[@wickeddr]

i hope you guys are paying that couple really well for there help time and energy

[@mattycreek384]

It all comes out in the wash

[@dalefolck7270]

Love watching y'alls progress. Get a small toy for bugaboo an put the catnip in it. He will play with it forever

[@ljprep6250]

Ooh, you finally found something the little battery powered skil saws can cut in one charge: foam! Congrats on the amount of work you've done recently. Wow! 4 back-pats sent.

[@beginnerurbanhomstead1105]

You all work so well together! So much getting done in this video is great! Looking forward to the slab pour.

[@angelazura]

You guys need some stationary flood lights for working at night

[@mikeroy9438]

I have watched this video 3 times, GREAT JOB, and many thanks to Eric, Terry and to all who have helped you. I know it must seam to be an endless process, but trust me in the end it will all be worth it. KUDOS!!!!

[@BennysRadio]

Terry is such a help! It feels like it goes way faster and more ordered as before :D

[@wvmontani]

Re the Catnip: Tell Bugaboo to "Just say no."

[@LorettaLynn55]

I was praying that no one tripped and fell on the re-barb sticking up, and wanted to tell you to put the rubber tops on. Can't! Thank the Lord for Good People! Hope they have a safe trip home. I'm excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@coreyroca4295]

Hi, I'm a concrete worker up here in Canada, and we pour large garages/ basements all the time. Just wondering why you didn't use wire mesh instead of rebar would have saved light years of time, and probably would have been cheaper! Just wondering why, but keep up the good work!!

[@TheRealXesc]

He probably meant the mesh made of rebar - they are already welded together in large grids, and come in various sizes, like 8x8 feet, in 1 foot spacings.

[@TheRealXesc]

Well, apparently you didn't... And 10 kgs/m² isn't that bad. www.concrete-mesh.com/concretemesh/welded-reinforcing-mesh.html

[@redyserve]

You can get rebar grid in .5" on 12" spacing. It's not lite but, thy make.

[@butopiatoo]

Corey Roca another vote for rebar here. Cheap bulletproof in my book.

[@coreyroca4295]

No I meant actual wire mesh, no pre welded grids. You can get a thick enough wire mesh, and I guarantee it will do the same exact job as the rebar.... Not sure how the winters are where they are building, but I guarantee they probably aren't as bad as they are up here. so with that being said, the concrete will experience very little movement, thus making the wire mesh the perfect solution to prevent cracks. But as some of you are stating how money isn't a big worry, I could see why they went with the more expensive choice. P.s. Been working in the concrete industry for 30 some odd years now, and no matter how many precautions you take, concrete will always eventually crack! Sometimes do to a slightly improper mix, low spots etc. Well love reading all of your guys opinions on the subject, and thanks for reading!!

[@1RadioShowHost]

If Bugaboo becomes Catnip Dependent, we can start a Go Fund Me to pay for his rehab.

[@tinasikkema9983]

I gotta say you guys are so inspiring with all the work y'all are doing and how hard y'all are working! Can't wait to get started on my forever house! Y'all have definitely given my family lots to think about.

[@SalimKhan-go3vh]

I like terry. She always laugh.

[@r.blakehole932]

By tying the radiant lines to the rebar you will not have dead zones, even if technically you do. Because, the rebar itself will conduct the heat throughout the slab.

[@Approx_99]

Good point.

[@carladowell5475]

Amazing amount of work accomplished in only one day.👍🏻

[@ugsisr]

Now you have a good crew... One guy who is on top will keep it running smoothly.

[@Lothaenorixius]

I don't care about spoilers. I enjoy watching the process.

[@fireghost2978]

We need more alyssa n jesse......moreeeee videos please.......im too addicted.....n love bugaboo

[@daves.9479]

That is indeed one gorgeous talkative cat...a Bengal.

[@michaelworthington7037]

Thanks for the great videos, I enjoy watching. FYI, to help determine Radiant layouts, I always lay them out with drawings first before actual installations. They will vary and need some slight adjustments but it's pretty close to the drawing.

[@littlebearwolf1986]

i wanted to say i enjoy watching your videos thank you for letting us watch them

[@farmerbob5341]

#1 Needs to be High density foam #2 Reverse coil design "look it up" so I did and oh boy! Jesse stated that if it gets to complicated they'll go to something else. Well that's what they did. You can't change the layout or design of the original layout or you'll get hot and cold spots in your floor system with improper Heating. The outbound and inbound lines needed to be next to each other and alternate across the floor. This was one item you cannot just arbitrarily change. It had to be done according to the specifications

[@RetiredTechnician]

20:09 "whack" poor girl.. Still laughed 😄

[@Elderos5]

To get a greater strength from the smaller zip ties, wrap the tie around the rebar, or whatever work piece, twice before you secure the tie. This will greatly increase the strength of the zip ties.

[@Dabear88]

I just want to say, you guys are soooo awesome in you're tenacity! You're an inspiration to anyone hoping to build their own home. Keep pushing forward and you'll complete your goal. Then your second house will be sooo much easier. :) You know you love building... just say it. :)

[@donsdiys1140]

Great work.. the helping hands was a great big help to you ... To watch you both working together has been very nice to see. thanks for letting us all into your life and your journey,,,

[@davidcoryell5915]

You should plant catnip in your garden. I did that and now I have two neighborhood cats coming to see me on a regular basis. They love to roll around it and just chill for awhile 🤣

[@carsonking5549]

Can a floodlight manufacturer please sponsor them with some floodlights, put your name all over them, it's cheap advertising.

[@carsonking5549]

They mention them enough, I'm surprised they haven't given them some with 'Home depot' on them, I would, stupid not to.

[@morrow.m]

I’m sure glad y’all have some help. Seems to be making it much more enjoyable for y’all.

[@stewart51able]

Neat shot from the top of the wall...Nice team work on this day...

[@MrJozzuia]

Happy to see that this part is almost done.

[@markduncan6690]

Love these "Music Scores" !!

[@watchtheskies]

I'm impressed that you resisted the temptation to build an igloo :)

[@russrex1999]

Ok the sideways saw in the foam cut was pretty darn cool.

[@nemo1369]

I do the same with a table saw to make cove moulding

[@TheMuhaAdventures]

The music is awesome so retro and psychedelic

[@madmax-ys2iu]

Snjoy all you guys video.My first negitive comment.Wished you had keep the orange caps on the rebar sticking up.lol.

[@TheSummerRT]

I love the daily vlogs and getting to see the daily ins and outs of your house build!!!

[@TheKrogon]

Terry is really cute !

[@pu1ypj]

Best KZbin Channel! Thanks by keeping it daily Alyssa!

[@abonante]

So awesome to see this day, feels like forever doesn't it?

[@gooutsideeveryday2017]

radiant floor heating is very delightful on a cold winter's day... you'll be happy you did it

[@kentuckycowboy2]

Great people you have there helping you.

[@stevenbaumann8692]

The return of Bugaboo! ❤️

[@Jay-yd5cr]

New to this channel , but it's very quickly become my new favourite. Thanks for the great content.

[@brianmikus6023]

This reminded me that I left my coffee on the counter when I left for work today. Only drank half of it.

[@alexanderkilunov8760]

You guys are doing an awesome job :)

[@paulmacey9084]

well done you guys looking forward to the next video paul from uk

[@randallshular5362]

Yep it's only fair, you guys treat yourself with ice cream and now Bugaboo can treat himself with catnip

[@Mokkel73]

Hire the orange guy!

[@mwdub02]

Mikkel Örstedholm The orange guy in the White House? Lmao, he's useless anyway.

[@rebeccaantram4165]

Great work, glad you have made friends they have worked their arses off. Glad to see progress. Can't wait for the pour

[@OOpSjm]

Volunteers

[@TheBarnacleBlimp]

Another very productive day. What a beautiful evening as well.

[@maxieharden9913]

What wonderful help you had!

[@MELODYMUNRO]

I'm surprised you guys don't have work lights..

[@abialo2010]

got a few sneak peeks at terry and the girls. nice!

[@dgdynasty2149]

Great job. Your videos are very entertaining keep up the great work

[@yujishinohara1uponatime]

after you finish the home build suggest you open a restaurant which stays open till 11pm

[@luellalunabjd]

In Sweden, some people call zip ties "cat stranglers" 🙈☺️

[@markarchila9446]

Bugaboo is so cute he seems to really love that little gift just to let you know it's all right to let cats eat in the catnip because it's good for the digestive system it helps give them roughage and they enjoy it also they also do rub in it and it gives them that little kitty cat high so it's quite alright for him to eat it. thanks again so much for sharing with day in your life and your trials and tribulations keep up the great work and I look forward to your next video.

[@PlzDontKillDave]

DANG no wonder they dont read the comments... by the time we post tips... its already a week and 3 days too late. Love your videos :D

[@sparkyprojects]

Why was straight rebar installed instead of the mesh ?

[@bizzobs]

BugaBoo is always a proper way to finish

[@jerrybates5791]

Maybe the Catnip would work with the work crew? Stimulating treat.

[@AndrewBrowner]

that nicad circular saw was maxxed out cutting foam, cant imagine using it for wood... glad to be part of the li-ion generation

[@beachlife1411]

Good to have good hands of help around tell your help super nice both of them you to

[@joeschmoe4030]

Eric is the best thing that happened to that slab.

[@Sailor376also]

Yeah,, I know,, a week late,,, You do not need to tape the seams. Isn't even recommended. A full and perfect seal could trap liquid water. The plastic is a moisture barrier, not a water barrier. It achieves its principal use by breaking the absorbtion of moisture up through the concrete,, a wicking process, capillary action. The foam around pipes just break pieces off with your hands and cram them into place. I haven't finished watching the video,,, your pipes will float up through the concrete Your re-bar or screen is on top of your pipes, or tie your pipes well to the rebar. If your transfer piping is not well tied,,, puddle some concrete atop,, allow to jello,, then proceed with the pour. (That works only if it is a multiple truck pour.) I buried 500 linear feet of corrugated 4 inch plastic in a 10 inch slab several times. Air transfer to concrete storage.

[@joetownsend27]

Your videos are great thanks

[@hvguy]

Whew! We did radiant floors at our shop, ended up walking the pex alllllllll the way out so it'll lay flat ish

[@Drinks-and-finger-food]

Hello person scrolling down the comments, hope you have a wonderful day!!! Welcome to the internet.... where everybody gets knowledge but never been correct.

[@enquire422]

Progress at last!

[@HepauDK]

Just be sure not to hit the pex when you drill holes to fasten the toilet. My dad did that once, and had to dig up the entire bathroom floor to fix it. Just imagine having to do that to an entire floor.....

[@joefenech6839]

I am sure the took pictures of the plumbing before they covered it

[@colinkapaska5907]

Love you two!! Grateful for the inspiration.

[@JCAJCA3]

Great job by everyone! GOD bless. JC

[@dalelamont1361]

Bugaboo is probably my favourite part of the video's lol

[@markn2904]

You will do it! Thanks for sharing.

[@ecostudio1044]

your video's have made me so grateful I'm planning a 400 SF house on helical piles :)

[@freddien7]

Love all these videos!!, wondering why you dont hire, or buy a Generator with 4 spotlights on, to extend the job when evenings get shorter, find a company that is developing new ways to light up work sites when the days get shorter!! ALLYSSA Rocks!! x x

[@elliottmanning]

Got a string of 12 festoon lighting from Harbor Freight and retofited with LED bulbs from the Dollat Tree. So much light; 9600 lumens, 108 watts, 1.2 amps at 120 acv !!! Image may contain: one or more people, sky, crowd and outdoor

[@jeffryrichardson9105]

Sir! I think you should oil your boots tonight! Ha if you're not to busy!

[@zaphodtrenchcoat]

heaps and bounds. well done.

[@alparkopp]

For residential radiant heat,layout the tubing at 6 or maximum 8 inches, At 12 " it will not have enough heatoutput

[@pauls6530]

If that slab is going to be heated it needs to have an expansion gap around the edge

[@danielrose1392]

They have engineered plans, I am sure the thought about thermal expansion.

[@pauls6530]

Daniel Rose thought about it... and did nothing

[@Mister510]

It can't have a gap. The design requires the floor be poured directly against the concrete walls to prevent the hillside from pushing the bottom of the wall in. That's why they cut off the bottom of the ICF foam.

[@pauls6530]

Mister510 I understand why they went up to the IFC wall. If they have not allowed for exspansion and contraction of that floor then they have made a design error.

[@pauls6530]

In their case, they should have poured the slab and then put down the insulation, plastic barrier ontop, put down the heating pipes and poured a 2inch screed incorporating the pipes. Around the edge of the screed a 2inch high foam expansion pad to allow for expansion.

[@mrfyxr7489]

Really! What did you bribe these people with? They worked like dogs. You guys are causing a LOT of GOOD VIBES to radiate from your HS. Looks like you may be able to get 'er in the dry before hard winter. May good luck follow you.
