Non shrink grout Cole I built bridges, we used non shrink grout to level and fill certain beam pockets, my last house I was out of level 2” I literally used plywood nailed with 3/16” holes and two pieces of tie wire set to elevation nailed with 16 duplex set the top to elevation and pour. It will be far easier with a higher psi rating . Hope you read this.

[@gemdcreations]

Wow, I have just read all the comments and Cole, let me say, there are some nasty people out there. I think you have done a fantastic job on this build/pour. You have no experience and yet, you have accomplished so much. Yes, you have saved money (by my estimate, close to around 50 - 80% of actual cost) and you have used far more stronger concrete and reo bar caging than any builder would have used - that's got to be a bonus. Even when you add in wages for everyone, you have still saved a mega amount than if you had of used professionals. Trust me, even if you had used professionals, you would still have had some bad pour areas - in fact, I would estimate more than the minor ones you have noticed. The whole team needs a huge pat on the back for doing a humungous job to such a high finish. Well done. Oh and Happy Birthday Justin!! and Congrats to Roman and Mrs Roman. Stay safe guys. xx

Rough numbers, with labor you'd be sitting around $158k to do all of that. That's with a true 30% margin which varies based on where the work is being done. Figure another $3500 in dirt work to backfill and grade you've saved yourself a lot of money, gained a ton of real world experience and generated income videoing the process. Kudos to your crew for all of their hard work.

[@joannesHummers]

Just curious, I assume you've watched all of his build, and know how many ways he beefed it up. I know codes are way lower than what Cole added everywhere to beef his up. Is your bid based on how he built it? Or with all his modifications where he over did drains, rebar, etc?

[@diersirrigation]

Generally labor is about equal to the parts and materials. 2x 90k = $180,000

[@garyhaber333]

I agree with those numbers. I was going to say it was about 160k.

[@zackstump5425]

It would be cool if you decked out your house with wood instead of drywall Get an Alaskan sawmill and to to town on your fence rows, dry the wood for 5-10 years, then plane the boards, ship lap them, and put em up and ploy them Rough cut them 1.5” finish size should be 3/4” Put furrow strip on the studs so you can run your boards vertical, give yourself an extra couple feet on your rough cut in case the board cups or splits real bad when drying That house need wood walls

I am doing a total refit to our house too, pulled up the underlayment to expose the t/g 2x6 sub floor, new OSB total flooring, kitchen, appliances, bathrooms, etc.... great watching your progress, I started in November 1, 2024 .... feels good doing it yourself!!

[@frankpitcock2121]

I have never tackled anything close to the size of your project but i have always done my own improvements and I have found that the cost is usually less than half what a builder would have charged. The biggest satisfaction is that future generations can be proud of the fact that their dad, grandpa, great grandpa and so on built that with their own hands. And never be ashamed of the minor mistakes. Professionals make plenty of them and hand you a bill and say too bad so sad. Your bin site is a good example of the kind of work you get when “professionals” do the job. It looks great and is great!

Congratulations Cole, Roman, Justin and the cast of cornstars on this leg of your project! Simply amazing. The best thing for you about all this is, it's built exactly how you wanted it. Not only will you enjoy a lifetime of movies with your family and friends, what other tornado shelter has plush lazy boy seats! You're blessed...

[@azuthal]

cost doesnt matter in a few years you will look back and enjoy the memories of making this with your friends. i hate reading all the hateful comments, talking about how you say restoration, i hope you do not let these comments get to you. Just sad people being sad and trying to bring someone down. this is going to be an amazing home when you are done and you are making it for you.

Hey Cole, I am totally blown away by what you're doing here. I commend you for having the stones to take on a project this massive. But, what I really love about all of this is your refusal to not just give up when stuff completely goes haywire. Your attitude is stellar when a roadblock is encountered. You chalk it up to a new learning experience. WOW! What a great attitude you have! Kudos to you my friend. Can't wait for your next video...be safe Cole. No more concrete in your eye.

[@huntershannon3720]

after crunching some numbers for you through the business we would of charged 131k total for the project. You have done a few things “ different” then how the team would of done it. The way I see it you saved yourself roughly 20ish thousand. The knowledge you get from this experience will go with you for the rest of your life which is invaluable!!! I know Roman and Justin don’t work for free but man I HOPE YOU PAY THEM WELL!! Those 2 guys go through it man!! Shout out to them two. Best of luck

[@julien2912]

He said he spent $90K. You say you would have charged $131K. That's a difference of $41K not 20.

[@huntershannon3720]

@ he spent 90k in tools and supplies he didn’t mention anything about paying the men that are working for him. I don’t have a clue what he’s paying them so i left a large gap.

[@Olivia_LA_queen]

Awesome video! The mix of pride and humility is exactly right.

[@RevDano7]

After fifty years of doing that stuff I have to say you have saved a considerable amount of money. That being said I think most would agree that your design included a considerable amount of over kill. Most would not have used 5000 lb concrete and probably 30 to 40 % less rebar. That aside; you probably save sixty to seventy thousand dollars in labour. If you add your man hours into the mix you probably didn’t make a good wage or a profit but that’s not where you were going with this anyway. Your results are better than most commercial companies as for as quality control. Your cost were certainly in line. You and your team can be highly commended

[@juliedeterman6925]

Just for curiosity, those metal strip they are breaking from the wall, those are going from side to side of the wall to hold the metal forms. so that is metal exposed from the concrete that would get corrotion and the concrete to crack isn't it? or it is not metal? Because he was really careful with spacers for the rebar, he may have considered that already but I do not get it

[@johndoughty7438]

You did real good Cole, Your numbers are about right you saved probably 50 to 70% and got a better product out of the deal and got a lifetime experience and learned more than you’ll ever know I say you’re ahead of the game, big time! Keep up the good work. The videos are great!

Happy Belate Birthday Justin!🎉🎉 Congratulations to Roman and wife on the new baby!🎉🎉🎉 Cole I am not a contractor but I figure you probably saved about a $100,000 doing this yourself. 1 day of dirt/clearing work on an acre of land,by a friend, cost us $1,000 that was just leveling and removing trees.

Seconding all the well wishes to Justin and Roman! I think the biggest advantage a "professional" team *might* have here is time. You'd have paid twice as much (or more), but maybe got there in half the time - and perhaps freed your team up for progress on the house interior. (Of course, you have to get on their calendar to start, they miss their timelines too, etc. etc.) You're also so far ahead of the game having access to machinery (excavator, bobcat, telehandler, etc) most of us would have to rent if we did it ourselves. On balance, you've got a great result at a fantastic price, setting you up for further success. Thanks for bringing us along!

Great work Cole! Was this design a bit overbuilt? Probably. That said, when you are building a generational house on your own land it pays to go overboard on it. I built a new house about 10 years ago on our family farm. We will never move away from that house so you'd like it to be 100% how you want it in the first try. Today I regret some of the decisions I made that were done to save a few bucks. Looking back I wish I had spent the extra money to get a really good product. Among the things I'd change are: Make the garage bigger (I can fit my 2006 Silverado in there, but there's only 1 foot between it and the garage door). Use floor trusses on the second floor (makes HVAC, plumbing, and electrical way easier to install with more flexibility as to where things go). Use a two zone thermostat set-up Spray foam the exterior walls at least on the second floor Get better windows

Hello Cole and crew, I can't straighten a crooked nail myself so calculating your project is too much of a challenge for me. But realize that not everything can be expressed in money. Just as you always mention in the introduction that your great-great-grandfather built this house, your great-grandchildren will tell in the future what you built for your family with your own hands. In addition to this, you would miss out on a huge amount of KZbin revenue if you outsource the work. Income that you absolutely earn, if only because you inspire and motivate hundreds of thousands with your project.
