Tearing Down Forms and Gathering Supplies - Apartment Over Garage Build

In this episode of our Apartment Over Garage Build series we are removing the concrete forms for our stem walls for the foundation of our garage and gathering supplies to start framing the walls.

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 ...

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 !!

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.....

[@suenorton873]

@@aldium431 I watch a Canadian channel, they have the same problems and double prices too!

[@canadiancray]

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! 😁

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 😂

[@joekemp8625]

People aren't buying more lumber and materials, the factories are producing less due to less workers on site. Kinda sucks for those of us going at our own pace, we eat the costs the most. Developers just tack on the extra costs to the final prices. Land prices also aren't going up, less people are selling. Lower priced homes and land are more affected than higher priced homes, so sellers are biding their time. It gives off the appearance of rising costs and such, but its really just a temporary moving of the average/median cost. People are saving their money at record rates, which is what sellers are banking on, more available cash in buyer pockets once things get moving again.

Primer is not waterproof, so you will need to paint that or it will rust. Rattle can of Rust-Oleum is good enough, just to keep the water out of the primer.

[@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.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

We will get to it. Wiring first though.

[@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.

How come you don't use concrete sealer over al four concrete foundations ? You just push dirt onto the concrete walls.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

I don’t need it. Also I didn’t push it Think I explained that in the video or the previous one.

[@monicapttrsn]

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. 😁😁😁
