Same situation here in Australia. Everyone (& their Grandma 😂) are doing home reno jobs, or landscaping jobs in their yard. We've done the same. Terry painted the house when we were in lockdown and he couldn't work.... and we've since started a garden reno job... + now planning a mini reno in the house. 😊 It's all looking great.. You guys are doing a fantastic job !!

Practice makes for better results obviously what with this builds outcome this time around. Good job guys. You will appreciate that gravel around the place. Less mud to deal with.

One of the nicest things about using real lumber for forms is the cool wood-grain and plank finish you get on the concrete! Dark brown masonry paint on top and you have a faux timber stem wall 😂

Don't forget about your brakes on that truck. If you had to do an emergency stop on the freeway doing 60mph that would be a dangerous situation with the truck overloaded like that. Its a LOT of extra weight to stop and a high center of gravity. Stay safe we want more vids from you! 😁

The whole country is having that trouble getting lumber. I live WV and I travel to VA, NC, TN, KY, OH,PA, MD, to get building material. Metal roofing is the hardest to get.

Maybe if Trump stopped with the tariffs against Canadian lumber it would be a better supply...

Nice formwork and foundation. I am so glad you used anchor bolts, and the special anchor bolts at the garage door opening, plus you are considering shear walls now. These items are so critical for home building. The Portal Frame with Holdown (PFH) method is a nice one in the code book for residential garage openeings. In third world countries, 25,000 people drop dead just like that in an Earthquake. It is because they have no anchor bolts or shear walls. I am not one for a lot of red tape, but there are some areas of the Building Code that I admire so greatly, like shear walls and anchor bolts. A house next to yours without adhering to shear wall building can crumble right to the ground in an Earthquake. The Wood Structural Panel (WSP, sheathing) is like a diaphram working to rock the house as a unit so that the swaying is uniform, and likely saving the house. No anchor bolts? Well a house will roll right off the foundation. Keep up the good work! This pour has less buldges. 😁😁😁

Thanks Marty. Your going to be busy this fall and winter building your garage. I was hoping you would do drywall the inside of your house.

We will get to it. Wiring first though.

Can i go ahead n reserve the apartment for next summer lol

[@michellejaggard9657]

Before you fill in the floor of the garage you might consider a small cellar for storage of canning and food storage which needs a cool dark place. Wouldn't take much more work to add one. Just an Idea.

Just some info for you to consider. Water averages about 8 lbs. per gallon. You should find out how many gallons the tank holds . 8x(tank gals)= weight Nice show, thanks

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

That is right. It is 325 gallons.

[@loucinci3922]

looks great. that is a LOT of rock. will you wait 28 day for concrete to fully cure?

[@That1ufo]

10 days is usually enough for most things, And apparently it doesn't really 'fully cure' it keeps going for years.

[@agus3111]

Curing is essential

[@victhomp2909]

just a suggestion - should have put some tar-like sealant on the walls of the cement before putting the soil against it...

Looks like the battery terminals need a little attention. There are two things that would help improve the life and quality of the battery. One, making sure that there are felt washers installed under the power connection. Two, make sure the terminals are sprayed with the purple stuff (anti corrosion spray.). Also I learned you can make windshield washer fluid the same as the store stuff. Basically 1 cup non-amonia windex and 1 gallon of water. Something tells me this will become the Sethmobile.....

[@stanleykeith6969]

Great Job, I wanted to know if you should have put drain lines in and pipes for maybe under ground electric service. The reason for the short supply of lumber is due to forest fires, hurricanes, tornadoes and people building because they have been off due to Covid-19 and doing some remodeling. Water weights about 8 3/4 pounds per gallon. What do you think you have tied up money wise in the garage so far ? What is the total cost of the garage.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

No penetrations through the floor. I’ll show you why in future videos.

Check and see if he's got a timing belt or timing chain is got a timing belt you need to see how bad it's taped it in and when you change that timing belt you got to change the water pump the same time too

[@benjigray8690]

@@That1ufo I'm not a "know it all", but I have carted water in a few different sorts of containers, (tanks) from big water trucks, with baffles inside the tank, to smaller rural fire fighting trucks , with a 200 gallon tank on the back, and they had 3 chambers to them, and I feel that a 1,000 Litre pod, like old Mate Martin was using is prolly best filled to the brim, cause there's no baffles in it. Like the last thing that you need is a ton of water sloshing about, it's like having a really bad pillion passenger on the back of your motor bike.
