// About The (Not So Tiny) Tiny House Build Series //
I’m building a 670 ft2 tiny house / guest house in our backyard and covering the whole process, start to finish. Why? Well, my wife and I just had our second kid and, with the addition of that second kid, our main house is getting a little cramped for guests.
In Part 2, I covered laying out the building using batter boards and string line and setting the string line to final grade. We also graded the site and dug the holes for the concrete footings. Watch here : • Foundation Layout & Di...
Part 4, which will be published on January 8, will cover framing the floor system. This will include assembling all of the joists, attaching them to the girders with hurricane straps, and finally sheathing the floor with Advantech sheathing.

[@itstroakee4491]

These are so great! I've been thinking of building my own house to live in, but I don't want it to be too big. Something smaller than normal, like what you're building here. And the thorough, deep-dive explanations spanning from permits to completion really help me wrap my head around how to actually go about construction.

[@losttribe3001]

Just a suggestion; I always have a form ready for a concrete countertop for excess concrete. You paid for it and you can make an outdoor table or coffee table. Cheers.

[@JustinPaul1st]

Smart idea

[@trollnapf1670]

Cool, I normally have some containers etc. to make yard art and such with left over concrete.

[@Majorfarter]

Prove it

[@cheffsolo7739]

Can you post a picture ? I think that is a great idea .

[@trollnapf1670]

@@cheffsolo7739 I need to figure out how to post pictures but what it comes down I use whatever I can get my hands on and how much concrete is left. Old salat containers often have some interesting patterns in them. One time used a bunch of plastic storage containers the customer had to make blocks for a bench and plant stands for him. I try to get a smooth finish so I really work the concrete to get the air out. On bigger stuff like the storage boxes I used a reciprocating saw with no blade on the sides of the box to rattle out the air. I filled an almost 2’ high plastic barrel which had pretzels in it before. Sometimes I put empty plastic bottles in the concrete so they still stick out and cut them off once the concrete is dry for plants. I hope that makes sense.

[@chrischartron1479]

I'm looking at building a small house on my property, so this video series is perfect timing. Thanks for showing your build and progress.

[@lorenwilson8128]

The expansion bolts work great in a big floor, but may put too much force on your columns, and could cause them to split. You don't have any hoop strength in your column (no rebar) and concrete is brittle in expansion, great in compression. Your best alternative would have been to use epoxy bolts instead of expansion bolts. This would put very little stress on the concrete piers.

[@harryinhuahin1272]

This was the one point that was really bothering me as well...

[@CardBoardBoxPro]

why not just use J bolts out the top while pouring. .

[@darenbarber3542]

I’m using “J-bolt” concrete anchors 100%!

[@Philadelphia19147]

Or a tapcon

[@patty109109]

Had the same thought on fresh columns. J bolt has no stress on the concrete. The two part epoxy sold for concrete at Home Depot or Lowe’s would also be great and no stress on anytbing. Good vid tho!

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Good times! Missing those warm fall days!

[@daburg11]

thanks again Erik and Jaime for telling us about Crafted Workshop channel!

[@drewcuna]

This is the collaboration we all needed. Love both these channels!

[@BrezenMafiaJoe]

Thank you so much for this series! This is exactly the kind of hard work you don't get to see in most romanticised (Not So ;) Tiny House videos! Fun AND informative to watch! Awesome job! 👍

[@CalebMichaelMartin]

Looking good. Interesting info on slump. It is measured by filling a standardized cone with concrete and then removing the cone and measuring how far it droops, 3” in your case. There’s also typically an inverse relationship between strength of concrete and slump because more water in the mix means less strength but lower viscosity/higher slump. The slump however, can also be increased without reducing the strength by adding admixtures such as superplasticizer.

[@rhondakennedy819]

Now I know why Erik & Jamie loves the cordless so much. Be kind to one another. Stay safe. Love to all

[@mkushin]

Really digging this project series! Side note: I'm surprised the structural engineer was OK with the tops of those J-hooks being flush with the top of the piers. Might want to check and see how you can protect those from rust... Usually a minimum amount of "cover" is required over rebar to face of concrete.

[@leonardorojas1781]

I guess their engineer didn't expect they would leave the J rebar uncovered. Maybe was not specified. That, and also the way they installed the J rebar into the ground where it will corrode and weaken the footings... Not good practice.

[@masterofnone3418]

yes this is grade-A hack work, 3" mininum on all edges for metal inside concrete.

[@uniortegon6659]

All rebar should be 3” from concrete edges. They will rust and cause the concrete to fail early. Followers should make sure to keep 3” clearance. Also, place anchors into fresh concrete is stronger. Lastly, if you drill into cured concrete, you can add epoxy to keep things tightly secured.

[@greatlistener1731]

I'm eagerly waiting to see the final product. Best of luck for the project.

[@edwinseabelo7253]

Can't wait for part 4

[@GeorgeBoyce]

With our garage foundation, we used the tube and board cutoffs to create extra forms to accept the extra concrete rather than have a single large concrete boulder. We haven't done anything with them yet, except to mark locations where to not plow the snow. You know when you hit one that the plants behind that line are still alive.

[@210GrainsOfJustice]

I’m about to lay out my foundation but I’m using square foot footings, makes life so much easier.

[@johnanderson8096]

An Excellent Explanation ... Well Done!!!!

[@ltsSmitty]

This part of the process always seemed scary to me but the video made it look so easy.

[@TheSateef]

Booking the concrete truck same day as the inspection. Brave

[@scotthenderson4376]

glad I found this as I need to pour a base slab with a pillar and was wondering how to keep concrete from coming out the bottom of the quick tube. Was going to build a plywood top (covering the concrete pad with a hole for the tube to sit in) now I'm just going to mix it thicker and just pour it in. Thanks for saving me time money and energy. Great build by the way

[@Erik-pr2rf]

Suggestion for any Future builds that have large nut bolts , get yourself a Gator Grip Socket to add to your socket set ( they work great )

[@nhs70ham]

Keep it up!!

[@Torbox1]

Looks great, only thing I would say is that since you left the rebar long and had to cut some off at the top of the sonotubes is that that rebar will rust and you risk blowing out the concrete. When rust forms it has a lot of outward pressure and can blow out the concrete cylinder. At most it is 6 inches from the edge but some looked like they are lot less. Not sure what sort of fix you could do to seal the tops of the rebar and concrete to stop moisture from getting in though. Since its under the building it shouldn't get direct water so I'm not sure how likely it is to rust that much but just something that came to mind.

[@philmoore71]

your videos are well shot and the narration is well explained and is nice and clear. tks vacuuming the concrete drill dust when outside seems overkill

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks! The vacuum was mainly to make sure the dust wasn't compacted in the hole, not necessarily for air quality. Although it certainly didn't hurt!

[@Lancew4]

Wow, you got Action Bronson to do your concrete pumping.

"Eric's first time using a cordless framing nailer" - finally!

[@EskilNesje]

Moiusture in the groud will make your rebar rust. this will with time crack the concrete. Since you pushed that J-bar thingy straight down.

[@41region78]

A great tool

[@jeaxre1307]

Nice work! I would strongly recommend not to use the expanding bolts on "young" concrete, because it takes about 3 months to develop it's specified strength. In this case nothing happened, because you drilled dead center, but if you use the bolts near the edge, they can crack the concrete when you try to fasten them.

[@gentleman_908]

Great Craft

[@janec2602]

finally my question is answered on how people get all those sonotubes to the same height !! Another question - does it matter where you place that laser level?

[@ericturner2477]

I just passed footing inspection for my deck. I'm doing 18" piers with sonotubes. Our experiences couldn't be more different. I was told that I didn't have to have the sonotubes or rebar in place for the inspection, so they were just inspecting the position, diameter, depth, and condition of the holes. Also, the inspector didn't even knock on my door to talk to me. He just went around behind the house, did the inspection, and left. I found out I passed because I was upstairs working in my home office, and got an email saying I passed 😆. The only evidence he was there was a sticker on my building permit.

[@heyimamaker]

For perspective on climate difference, in central Alberta, Canada water lines need to be 2.5 -2.8m or 8.5 to 9 feet below finished grade.

[@craigslitzer4857]

7:23 Dunno what you should use that for, but next time you order concrete, build a brick mold and have them pump the remainder into your mold. Instead of one big unusable chunk, you'll have a few concrete blocks that you can use in the future.

If the J bar is stuck in the ground in the footings, won't it corrode with humidity from the soil and destroy the whole rebar in the future?

[@TheCdavis411]

Which model line laser did you use for cutting the sonotubes/quiktubes?

[@mikemadske946]

the j bar foot should have been used for the center of footing rebars. so that the j bar can sit in the footing rebars with two ties. to that when concrete is pored, no rebar is exposed and avoid corrosion
