This was exactly the video my husband and I needed!! We are getting quotes for both concrete vs pier & beam. My husband can do all the electrical & plumbing so that is a big deal. The other factor is the view of our land from just a few feet higher is beautiful & we would miss all that on a slab. Thanks so much for the video!👍

I said to myself….”aren’t you supposed to be in the NFL sacking Joe Burrow instead of building a house?” 😂 It is clear you are an athlete….and also a very knowledgeable builder. this video was fantastic and very informative. Thank you!

You are really easy to understand I appreciate that. Some people over explain.

[@magicmillhouse9586]

How do you not know where your plumbing and electric is gonna go ahead of the foundation…? Doesn’t your permit require the actual drawings of this stuff?

Great ideas!

I’m looking into building a pier and beam on the bottom are you still using green pressure treated or just regular construction lumber

[@MrGwizyadig]

How wide were your piers?

[@minniewilliams1852]

Thank you ❤

[@ssauls86]

What is the overall length and with of your building and do you have a video of a cost break down. We're just started with the planning stage and are looking at the rough cost side of it

The best foundation , l.saw 3 floors construction with no issues at all.

I have a home built in 1932 that's pier and beam.

Outstanding presentation. Very informative! Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

Love the video. We are building a 42x26 pier and beam. We are getting ready to put our roof on soon. And you are right about adding additions. We are planning to have two additions added onto ours.

Great job Jon on the details & commentary of both foundation types. Very insightful and useful too!

good point about comfort being on wood. I feel the same way. My house has a trench dug on the outer rim, with poured concrete, brick and block to the rim wood, and wood joists to center piers. The center piers did sag, and I got under and jacked them up using two 50 ton jacks, sat jacks on 6 or 7 layers of 2x2 foot 3/4 ply and that served great for a jacking point to lift the main center girder. I used a RR sleeper plate, 1/2" steel for the jack to lift the girder. That is the only negative, a potentially sagging foundation versus the slab, for me.

Solid, comprehensive, information. Ty, man.

Your break down is much appreciated. Thanks

Just found your channel I can't wait to see this cabin. Thanks for the info

[@jasonbuzzard3127]

Very informative... I've been watching videos to figure out how to build my cabin, definitely going with this style foundation. Also great for houses built on a slope..
