I have to admit, even when watching the pour of the concrete the first immediate things that stood out to me was the fact ive NEVER in all my years seen concrete of that color.. Tan?.. nor have i seen such a loose and wet concrete pour. what were they using pancake mix? it was questionable from the start, The fact they were asking if Rebarb should be used... On a house build! Come on!!.. this is the problem, everyone wants to have their jobs get paid great but do crappy work. And yet the same people are always angry when businesses close, or others come along doing the work better and proper. its the reason why more and more of such jobs are now populated by foreign labor workers. they come into the country doing the job right, and the locals feel threatened get angry and jealous. with all that go back to your country nonsense. All it takes is doing the job right!, and if you have an issue as a contractor, let your client know, be honest!!! honesty goes much further in towards the positive than cutting corners, taking advantage of people or simply lying to cover your issues, which ultimately robs the client of what they paid for in faith. And what inevitably you will face as a result somewhere down the road. only to later find yourself asking why are such hard times falling upon you, when you have a history of screwing other people over. Those were four walls and a foundation and they couldn't even get that right. A crew of grown men, and yet here we have a party of two, with absolutely no experience or training in house building and theyve built themselves a superb home that could easily list for a near million on the current market, and they did it with just about no help. Josh said it right! Pathetic!

[@xevious2501]

[@kjmorley]

I like Josh’s stoic acceptance… “you got your ups and downs”. You’ve got your health, a beautiful family, a rewarding life, and 1 million people on KZbin that love you. Life is good!

[@conegallery]

My thoughts are.. if the walls do not pass the psi tests... why tear them down? .. Instead use the 'bad' wall as a support for a second pour and that way you double the thickness of the basement wall. albeit.. the 'bad' wall becomes a faux wall for the inside... and the new wall, the support for the rest of the build. That is.. if the 'bad' wall doesn't just start falling apart over time, on it's own... argh...

[@Highqman1974]

Best thing you could do right now is tear down the walls. Your always gonna be unhappy with it, and it will haunt you. Take the right steps so you have some recourse on the concrete company. Theres not enough wall there to make the rest of the build go bad. Do it over, do it right

[@Beandiptheredneck]

Sounds like Mike Holmes arrived 😅 but yes I agree. If the walls aren't right nothing else will be, may as well do it right from day 1

[@frankish5314]

Yup no rebar (from what others have said) means the wall shave to come down. Is rebar not required by code? How did it pass inspection?

[@rfhiotis]

Exactly my thoughts. It’ll bug you forever the wall. Get rid of it and start again

You two are so strong. I admire the ethics you stand by in not naming the concrete contractor. I'm sorry this has happened and ending up costing you money, time, and peace of mind. Sending your family lots of hugs.

[@DD-fm4pk]

It all comes down to the concrete company using too wet of mud for the walls. I did my fair share of concrete walls in the past and we never added water. We used a vibrator to move and mix the concrete in the walls. The top of the walls are probably uneven because of how wet the concrete was. When I saw no rebar in the footings for the walls that was a red flag for me.

[@andrewvillarubia5454]

One thing the only thing that happens of to much water in concrete its take longer to dry but it gets stronger as it dries and much water in it it levels much easier rebar is a must

[@mariowickel456]

Watching that video I immediately thought that's not going to pass inspection. Way to wet, no rebar, and they weren't organized ,plus the blowouts! Could be someone just starting out, and lacked knowledge. I'd that's the case, make it right don't run off and leave a client hanging. Bad juju

[@otakumagnet8106]

I've done concrete as well. We always took a sample and turned the load away if it was too wet. The fault is on both companies. The lack of rebar would have caused an immediate stop to work, prior to pouring.

Nothing pleases me more than being able to spend a few minutes on Sunday watching your latest update. I have watched your channel pretty close to when you first started it. I have seen your whole family grow not only in skills but as a family. It has been a joy to see that happen. If you can or would ever consider producing a video series on family and work ethics. Especially as a woman and how both you and Josh were brought up and how you have developed as a family. I think so many young couples who are just starting out really need strong leaders and mentors to help them develop into strong families like yours. I truly believe that viewers would greatly benefit and a new breed of "Real Americans" would enter into our society. Just a thought. I know it would be a lot of work. Based on the work I have witnessed over these past few years I know you could do this. America NEEDS more families like yours. Please think it over. May God continue to watch over you, your family and friends.

[@adubbelde1]

If you do end up tearing the walls down, do them over using ICF forms. You can do it. You'll have to apply a synthetic stucco, but it will look good. I formed our house with attached garage with ICF's and I'd never used them before. There are lots of KZbin videos using ICFs.

[@tylermurray2265]

I absolutely agree!!!! ICF is short for “man lego”, right up Josh’s alley.

[@donwat91]

Before my brother passed away that's what he did for a living. I still get his news letters and magazine on ICF. They have built entire houses with it. And it has its own insulation values.

If it's on KZbin it must be right...

[@adubbelde1]

@@johnr8439 I built my house 7 years ago and didn't watch KZbin to see how it was done. I went to seminars put on by the ICF manufacturers where we did hands on training. And my house is anything but a regular foundation. There are 17 eight foot wall sections that make it up. I cut virtually every block on a 21.17 Degree angle. With the insulation under the basement slab and in floor heat it's incredibly comfortable.

Glad to see you testing, but with a door not even square and that spalling, I just know it's not up to your standards.

Joshua If you are 2ed guessing his concrete work now, are you wondering if it will fail later? Might be better to tear it down and do it right.

God bless you for taking the higher road with the concrete situation, it will come back to you 100-fold by you handling it the right way. Short term pain unfortunately but long-term gain. Keep on keeping on!

So very sorry that you dealt with a rogue contractor, but glad you caught the problems before continuing the build. The green egg was awesome, and your daughter is so pretty & growing so fast! Yours, is one of the first U tube videos that I started watching (from the beginning & I have enjoyed it immensely). Thank you for always keeping it real. Good & awkward. While I watch many family's, you are my favorite still! Awesome job guys & Family! Hugs & Blessings for your futures!
