Thanks for stopping by our off grid cabin build channel. We recently moved from the city with all of its conveniences to the middle of the forest near Sandpoint, Idaho. On our channel, we are sharing our journey from grid life to an off-grid homesteading life. We are starting from scratch on bare land. I hope you will come and join us on this journey as we build our off grid cabin and establish our homestead. You can learn more about our story here • Why we Choose to Live ...

[@ahriman8543]

put some plastic tube over the all thread. for one thing, that way you cannot pull the wood to tight together and make indentations. For the second reason, this metal is sticking out of the concrete and after a while will rust (different with the rebar). Rust will swell and ultimately will break the foundation of your building over time. With the plasic tubing around the allthread, you are able to remove it after the concrete is cured. plug the holes after pulling the rods and you are done.

[@markallisonmc]

[@feryandreas2470]

Wow 👍

[@richardbrooks3569]

I think the allthread is a good idea. You folks are doing a nice job. You will be grateful for the garage in the winter.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

For sure. It will be a good place for working on projects.

[@jeffrobison2013]

i built my forms the same way but to hold them from spreading i used the twisted wires with a loop on each end, just lay them in as you stack the boards and then a nail or bolt on the outside to lock in. they worked great and just clip or break the ends off when forms are removed.

[@gagukyudiarinto4599]

Wonderful work in solid team. Salute Pak Martin. 👍👍

[@Bernie5172]

heck Im pooped out now. I have been binge-watching about 100 of your movies. From start to now. GREAT JOB FAMILY

[@Ozzieg7507]

Looks great guys 👍

[@bobjoncas2814]

..LOOKIN' GOOD, GREAT JOB..STAY SAFE...

[@davidturk6170]

We use 1” plywood with premade rods with inverted mini cones similar to “all thread” instead of the 2”x8” boards.

[@DennisDuboisLifeview]

Much improved bracing. this time. Job well done.

[@SurvivalLiving]

Awsome project guys 👍Family team work

[@smoochmcguire5291]

Great video thanks again

[@nawerkrajan6918]

hello mr martin ,and family greetings from indo.. good work very compact👍👍👍

[@libradarlington]

Ooops those deers 😍 keep smiling from Jakarta 😍

[@AZASVLOG]

Hai.good day

[@libradarlington]

@@AZASVLOG have a nice day too bro...

[@topper009]

you typically want to keep the all thread (or other bracing) closer to the bottom since that is where the most concrete outward pressure will be. 2 towards the bottom is better than 2 balanced evenly along the height. Im sure you'll be fine, great progress

[@jacoboalamea717]

Good job Martin Greetings from tijuana

[@ohske]

😯God Bless you

[@muhammadfuadmunajad8267]

Alhamdulillah komentar pertama !!! Semangat Pak Martin

[@AZASVLOG]

Hai.

[@annamaybeekman5152]

Great job you guys. When I buy my property in N. Idaho next yr. I want to build footers and then my pole barn on top of it the 2 2 story homes inside. God bless

[@dunep6465]

Sure looks sturdy enough to me Martin. Good Job Gang! And I'm sure none of the lumber will go to waste. Oh and Seth, my dad would look at whatever ding I had done to myself and say "Come here and let me spit on it". That was his cure for everything. Good Times... :o)

[@ftconformist]

I like your Patagonia hat!

[@bayumeigafitra5450]

wow

[@4nasrudd1n]

Semangat terus pak Martin

[@remushaynes2693]

sitting here, watching, by my self and i howled about missy's description (totally correct but seldom heard) of the concrete escaping the forms. bless your heart lady, i sure hope none of your concrete "gushes out". you are wonderful.................g

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Yes she is!

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Yes she is!

[@bruceboyles1895]

Rather than use all thread to hold the forms, there is straps that are sheet metal w/ 2 holes for wedges that are a little cheaper maybe.

[@AZASVLOG]

Good job good day..Hai all frend

[@jeffwagner8068]

the hydrostatic pressure in the area of the doors or any place lower than the top of the form will require additional reinforcement. Think about the weight and force of the wall pushing against those openings.

[@dennislower4742]

You guys are a well oiled machine

[@armandaniel21]

Done subscribe your videos. You are doing an amazing works Sir! Cheers from Kuala Lumpur!

[@omensageiro7117]

[@fauzanazuka5755]

semangat pak Martin.

[@richardweiss8401]

I was going to suggest to you to use threaded rods. Very smart ideal.

[@abubakarabdullah7148]

Great job👍. Seth do you miss your sister Sarah? Keep smiling.

[@user-po1rj7yc7w]

🤗 早安! 💖

[@murnisilaban2481]

Yap

[@thelostarchivesserialvault5353]

If your concrete mix is on the thinner side then you run the risk of it coming out of the man-door and car-door openings. You need only to cap them till the cement sets a bit then pull and smooth later. When you pull the forms later make sure to wear good masks when cleaning the form boards. You need to keep a can of medical 1st aid spray on hand. I hope Sether washed it well. This is just par for the course to get some nicks on the job. Thats why we wear gloves.

[@nokofishing]

hi....good morning from central jawa...

[@Pavinsteelman]

Plywood @ 24”and use Gates or Jahn clamps and ties are much faster and reuse it all .,

[@Kevin-kx3nz]

They have ties for holding forms together. They stay in the poured wall, but they are fairly cheep, cheeper than wood.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Not at my store.

[@mikerogers9711]

Question please, what was the cost of all that lumber, labor and hardware compared to hiring a foundation form Co. To do it?

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

The difference would be petty much just the labor. Which is estimated at 20-40% of the total cost.

[@nedisawegoyogya]

This is basically minecraft let's play analogues to real life

[@Pavinsteelman]

No screws double headed nails using tires little bracing needed .

[@akuinnal_zeus]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@user-ew1gf5pj1d]

응원합니다

[@victhomp2909]

I hope the cement is not "Thin" so it oozes up pours out of where you cut for the doors...

[@g.r.4853]

Or put the 2X4 inside the form when you drill them!

[@gw877]

Safety Salley is whatching. Martin ,doing backward or upside down cutting with those power tools, will come flying into your face. Don't take those chances. Doesn't save time when you get injured.

[@estellaknox9285]

Is it cold their I see you have jackets, and hoodies on forgive me for asking , you guys are great Sarah missing out on the fun god bless

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Sometime it is cool in the am.

[@bradferreira6110]

You should cut some 20mm conduit the width of the wall and use it as a spacer so u can tighten the threaded rod fully and get it out after

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Good idea. PVC should work too.

[@yunussuleman9690]

Welcome back Martin good job always. Martin I am confuse What is difference Between Homestead and Off Grid?

[@canadiancray]

A homestead is a house and surrounding land owned by a family. Off grid just means its not utilizing local utilities like water and electric etc. You can have a Homestead connected to utilities which would be "On Grid".

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Craig is right.

[@ekabarata4736]

Mother is strong man?😅😅😅😊😊😊👍👍👍😇😎

[@ScottishNSRailFan]

You should have used ICF or ICCF. So much quicker, with plenty of benefits to follow.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

What is the cost difference?

[@ScottishNSRailFan]

Martin Johnson - Off Grid Living In terms of the area covered by the video, the alternative product, would be cheaper than lumber. No skill required for setting out ICF/ICCF

[@ScottishNSRailFan]

Martin Johnson - Off Grid Living Will also add, our main house is in Palm Beach County and is three storeys, with the roof. We have full protection from hurricanes and very little expenditure in HVAC

[@ukuleleoficial9166]

Pa Martin, Sarah Jhonson udh berangkat kuliah ya😅

[@kennethharwood2083]

Are you on any Water System (like Cabinet Mountain/Paradise etc) or are you going to town to fill the white tank ?

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

We fill the white tank.

[@joesmucker8012]

I do hope your putting covers on the door openings, if not concrete will pour out while pouring the walls.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

We will see.

[@northernliving2387]

Can I ask a question. Would you want to finish the inside of your home first before building a garage

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Under the right circumstances, sure.

[@sammaxwell7812]

yes maam yes sir seth! uc ok , you've grown up high fast you have to weight training start light, use dumbbells

[@piluantoro3719]

Pondasinya dah mau cor ya pak

[@randyfredricksen5963]

Quality job on the forms..there's no such thing as overkill with concrete, especially in a remote location. I have seen many foundation scrambles when a form gave way! My money says yours will hold up.

[@Airborne-tb9hz]

Do you live by bigfoot just asking because I saw that fence in the background

[@fotomoments5311]

🙋🙋👏👏👏🇺🇾👌👌👋👋👋

[@richardweiss8401]

Question: Why haven't you put siding on the house yet?

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Priorities, time and funds.

[@richardweiss8401]

I want just wondering.

[@joewilson1457]

The only downside to using boards that have been used for concrete forms you can't get all the concrete off the boards and it will eat up saw blades

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

True. That is why we used the right studs so we won’t have to cut many.

[@muhammadyorman2701]

Selamat pagi bosss... Apa khabar...

[@mattzimmermann4423]

Not sure about what regulations are in your area, but there should be two j-bolts per board. At the corners where your doors are, those small 12''ish inch sections between the corner and the door rough opening needs two jbolts despite how short they are (prevents the sill from rotating on the foundation)

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Yep.

[@ntoshmulimi]

look at how far uve come

[@thomasgoad3695]

What about the drain in the floor?

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Not going to have one.

[@mauricemonnier4940]

Great job Martin and family. But please never juse a circular saw towards you. Its really dangerous. Always away from you. Safety first right?

[@niveknospmoht8743]

How come nobody in Idaho puts siding on their house? Or did I miss something somewhere

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

What do you mean? It’s Idaho siding!

[@MarcSa]

🤪👍😛

[@metamud8686]

10:08 that's what she said.

[@at347est]

I bet Seth is stronger than he looks . I wonder why his arm muscles are not bigger .

[@ekabarata4736]

Hemm good job father😇bay the way Where Sarah? 🙏🙏🙏

[@user-xw3gc2kq7l]

sarah mulai kuliah bnran...

[@billcoley8520]

How come no one uses mobile home anchors to hold down the pad, then the walls, then the roof

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Not sure. Maybe because it is not a mobile home?
