[@weshoward8731]

Dave looks like an undercover CIA dude, w/ his shades an ball cap on. Always a blessing to have friends and neighbors to come help build our lives.

[@juliejohnson9531]

Yay! So exciting. Pouring concrete is pretty nerve wracking and fun. 😜

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

It really is!

[@PaullaWells]

It’s coming along very nicely. Now things should start humming along.

[@jamesmedina2119]

Im not surprised you didn't use a footer, not many do these days. That wall will settle pretty good over the years.

[@dheswenesdharmianus8038]

Mr. Martin you're teached many peoples arround the worlds through your channel, so I like to say thank you so much.

[@paulrobertson5550]

Great job Marty, and family! Those forms were very well built. Love your channel, God bless.

[@idahodad1]

Hooray for All-Thread!!! The foundation looks good.

[@greggardiner8779]

Looking fantastic. You are pretty good at this building stuff. Won't be long and you will have the garage all assembled and in the dry. Stay Safe and Stay Free

[@MrMed-hl2fq]

You and your team knocked that one out of the park! Everyone did a great job, I'm learning from your projects in case someday I am brave enough to leave the concrete jungle of NYC for the greener pastures, but not where it snows as much... thank you

[@jgivens1227]

Never realized how “heavy” concrete was. Can never be to safe. Great job!

[@timhockersmith3934]

Nice job, Martin and family! Proper preparation almost always results in a good outcome.

[@terale6798]

Always feels great when basic foundation is done and the concrete poured...great job! Stem wall...check)))

[@shermdog6969]

Looks fantastic. And all I ever use is plywood and through bolts and never have a problem. Yours looks like art.😁

[@LaidBackLiving]

Man that is crazy that it bulged out like that! Really shows the pressures. Those forms were stout!

[@MrJohnBabcock]

Way to rock the Demolitia shirt Martin! Garage is making progress too! Blessings to you and your family and keep up the great vids please.

[@steveallen9581]

Looks great! Been in concrete for many years. Sometimes we fill the wall half way then come back and top it off. Giving the bottom half even a half hour to set up while you go the rest of the way around takes allot stress off the forms.

[@jamesboris1233]

Like the installation of the re-inforcing installed.

[@charlestrucano4706]

Awesome video love the attention to detail you left no room for questions or confusion

[@delf6775]

Like a good old-fashioned barn raising! Good to see communities helping each other out!

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Amen

[@manooglewok589]

Wow.. great job Pak Martin Ibu Julie and Seth and the other friends you're bulit a new cabin👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 keep going n always keep smiling 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@vmorganbogart]

So glad to see the pour went well. It looks fantastic. I’m sure it was nerve racking, wondering if the forms would hold. It looks like you did an awesome job on the forms. Congrats! Now on to building the garage. I’ll be waiting for your next video. Blessings, Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇨🇱🇺🇸👍❤️🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@paulrice1918]

Good job on the stem wall. You did well.

[@josephtan6297]

Ur being modest ,u did very well for a first timer.

[@theone4572]

Love the Demolitia shirt! Keep up with the good work. Love the content. Love watching you and your family’s journey!

[@adamcnl1]

great and solid wooden stem wall.... a little bit of movement of the wood is expected and acceptable. good job...

[@joeromanak8797]

I was sure your forms were up to industry standards. Every thing looked great to me. Keep up the good work! 😎👍👏

[@floridadog7773]

Stem walls for my container home 🏠 will be great.... Great info Thanks !

[@huubsworld.4034]

Nice work Martin. You are goed!!!

[@jamesgoodman6243]

OUTSTANDING

[@estellaknox4488]

Nicely done coming alone

[@mattgiardina6533]

i do that for a living and you did just fine it wont go any where good work

[@greywolfwalking6359]

Going along so well... I am looking forward to the day Miss Julie parks her " Bentley" in there!!! Lol! Great job team!!! GWW... Ooouuuttt!!!

[@tr3vorb438]

Awesome achievement!

[@thelostarchivesserialvault5353]

If you have not already done so, build a funnel pour box. It basically is a knock together v shaped box that fits just inside and on top of the forms. It channels the incoming concrete so it stays in the form. It just slides down the form as needed.

[@stevenm.2380]

He did. 6:04

[@MamyHR]

Looking strong!Blessings

[@nitindalvi8575]

Very nice

[@juliocruz5656]

It will hold you guys did a good job....

[@massigit8515]

With no vibrating tools but you're guys compacting the concrete carefully and thoroughly , i think the result will be very nice👍

[@jamesmedina2119]

You can tap the forms with a hammer ⚒️ to get it compacted

[@smoochmcguire5291]

Great video thanks again

[@beverleyriddell2264]

Looking good

[@andyteohockguan7243]

[@bobjoncas2814]

Good idea man Good luck

[@juliocruz5656]

Hey guys Good morning god blessings Hope you guys are well we love your channel hope to see the finish product.

[@HaroldReece]

Looks like you guys did a nice job. I like the idea of reusing the form boards later, material cost is way too high for one time use forms.

[@dedalomaipu]

Te felicito estimado Saludos desde Santiago de Chile

[@nmila2023]

So cool pak Martin..

[@mountainviews5025]

Your forms look fine I'm a contractor and good job I'm subscribing

[@sylhunt8230]

Nice work!! I thought I saw Dave helping.

[@herupramono7148]

Mantab pak Martin

[@roseliopalma535]

of course the forms will hold firmly during the conrete pouring process!

[@marciaann1022]

The forms that you built our an Overkill I know concrete guys that do not fill forms that secure. So yes I think they will hold up quite well.👍💯

[@etex45]

Yes it will hold

[@JLC24]

Hold they will😊👍👍👍

[@fififinance7469]

Quarantine made me do it 😁👍

[@binking4839]

很赞👍，向往的生活，我也好想自己建一个房子。

[@feryandreas2470]

Wow 👍

[@lovefate6269]

Thanks sir for showing the s bolts no other video on that thanks…

[@psygn0sis]

Bracing = x 1,000,000 : P After the little bow in the house's stem wall, you just aren't messing around! lol.

[@reinerdanielrd]

Kerja sama itu baik

[@bubby3366]

yes

[@Ben.Ali.Ibrahim]

Great job My note You must cover the bolts by electric tape easy become clean

[@JohnSmith-og3gz]

awesome shirt

[@randybang6952]

Your lucky all the people you had to help you with that power

[@michellejaggard9657]

Martin one thing I have seen on other concrete pours that might be of interest to you is they always have an extra form built, maybe in front of an out building, maybe where you are storing wood, anywhere you think, Man I wish I had concrete pad here. They build a form so if there is any left over concrete it can be poured in that form since you paid for every inch of concrete in the truck.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Good idea.

[@AZASVLOG]

Good day bro..

[@ernestwood351]

Ye of little faith. No way that form is blowing out. Good job.

[@indigatorveritatis491]

I've done a lot of concrete work. I would have slept very well the night before just looking at your forms. Excellent work, not sure why you consider yourself a novice.

[@apdhoudini]

You can remove the top brackets holding the jbolts before completely finishing the concrete and avoid having to grind or chip those areas.

[@robertlathe2165]

They will hold.

[@reinefortier5812]

They will hold

[@nawerkrajan6918]

hello mr martin .. how are you hopefully healthy always with family. maybe it's the casting stage

[@sreekumarUSA]

082620/1110pst. Thanks. I’m equally excited and eager to see the final stages. My heart, soul and my spirits are there, at the work area, wishing all the best and total success in your endeavor. Bless you, Sir and your family. Stay safe. 73s...

[@leslieking3974]

Very impressive form prep. Lots of wood for sure. The “deform” must be also quite some work as well. Did you reuse the wood?

[@at347est]

Yes they do reuse the wood .

[@christopherharrison3607]

YA I SEE WHAT GRID your WANTING to move IN I wouldn't MINE A 6 MONTH LEASE up IN THERE MY SELF!!

[@louisl.8724]

Nice music.

[@rudihandoko9874]

👍👍

[@robertlaird6746]

Needs more support on the bottom inside back wall. Loose dirt won't hold that well.

[@huubsworld.4034]

I mean good!

[@ohske]

😯👍👍👍👌♥️♥️♥️

[@greensnapper1602]

We Would Of VIBRATED While Pouring the Concrete... Didn't See you All Do...

[@vangkoi]

Hi Martin... why is the J-Bolts not mounted with the re-bars?
