Thanks much! I like the rounding on the footing. Also, perfect use for those little "camp" hatchets!

I had to watch about 30 videos before this one actually showed me how to level the brackets

Thank you for this video. All the other videos just show the brackets being plopped in the concrete. I wondered how they were level. You showed me how it's done. Thanks!

Great job! Thank you 🙏

Thanks for showing me a way of leveling and straightening the brackets like that... I know myself and that I can do. Nice channel too😁. Happy homesteading

Thanks so much this is how I will be doing my footings for my cabin wasn’t sure how to place the top part now I know 😁

I've put in a lot of supports in various concrete footings on my own but I still learned a LOT right here. (This was wonderfully shot as well). Thank You.!

Helpful. Thanks.

Will you be using 6 x 6 posts as beams?

that was so helpful... detailed and just what was needed to do it correctly

So those brackets just get sunk in the concrete with 2 ears ? My mind says it dont look very strong enough to hold a post i know there used by the thousands but it dont look strong????

That looks to be a MASSIVE deck!!

A hatchet concrete float?

what size of a footing? what size sono tube? Thanks

it is not deep enough?

where can i get the bracket?

You're a madman! Can't wait to copy your teck-neek! Don't forget to clean off your hatchet! :^D Love the broken level!

Thanks for Video. At 4:07 min., I see a post close to the screen, with a bracket that is very close of the edge of Sonotube. Is there a minimum distance that bracket has to be from the edge of Sonutube. Thanks.

What kind of brackets are those and where did you buy them? Thanks,

Thanks

I m planing to build me a gazibo should I use this method to make the post last decades?

I did my footers similar to this for my deck. 9 days ago. The difference is that I set 6" J-bolts in the concrete. Then I attached the footing bracket to them and set pressure plates on top 24 hours after pouring the footings. Why is it now that when I attach my 4x4 posts to the brackets the J-bolts come loose with just the slightest pressure on the 4x4?

Wow lot of footers.

did you use Quikrete 5000 ?

Do you have the link to the exact bracket that you used?

I hope this came out good. Seems like you should use pvc gloves for concrete harbor frieght has them cheap goes up to your armpits. Also have vinegar on hand to wash hands after concrete contact.

is this hardware anchored enought in the dry cememt. looks like a joke. not sure it the hardware is a anchored in the concrete footing.

That intro is so long I thought I was watching an 80's sitcom.

Perfecto

@ThroughOurEyes Thank you for this. You proved my point with my overbearing uncle who wants me to do it his way. I knew this was the right way to do it. I bought 5 acres and need to move a small building. He wants me to pour a foundation and then pillars,I said it wasn’t necessary. Can’t run plumbing under already cured concrete. I’m a silly girl what do I know🙄.

Do you use rebar? In your footers.

is this a pickup truck deck?

Seems like a crazy number of footings. If you are using something like 2x10 joists you would only need about 1/3 as many footings. A 2x10 can span approx 12' according to international building code tables.

Why in the world do you make a lump on top of the sonotube and not just level based off of the flat top of the sonotube?

ok not to be too critical but- his shoes, gloves, hatchet and level all either have holes or are broken..... just saying. but holey moley how many footers does that deck need?? that is gonna be massive.

4:09 Hi AF.

Seems like burying the post gives a lot more lateral support

Would you like a new Pair of Gloves brother..!!!?😃😃

You roughed up the surface before adding your new concrete. But typically concrete does not stick to concrete.

Ma che minghia fai mbare

looks like would have been easier to pour slab foot thick 20 x 30'

Did anyone else notice that his bracket w a s not centered

The old axe finish

Some of the anchors look uncentered on a few footings, but ok, it is DIY, I know....

You must fall down before you can stand up. I think he hit his head.

Concrete looks a little dry don't you think

steel or galvanased steel rust into concrete if it is not painted

Too Dry

I wouldn't depend on that bracket having much of a hold on the concrete, pins of the bracket to short

Ummmm, did No one notice the way he used the level!!!!

4:07 Just look how off center that footing is! It doesn't matter how wide or deep your footing is if it is barely holding the bracket.

that level tho hahahaha

Dude, not the hatchet! 😣

❤

LOL you making a muffin top

That's a lot of footers...lol

Hi, love watching your channel, I'm big on DIY, currently I'm building a tiny house. You guys should come check us out!

Overkill

Sorry it is not in the concrete footing enough.

Le falta mucha destreza

Looks like too many footers for a deck. 4:06

Whos gonna clean and sharpen that incredible concrete tool............... DA AX! smh

This guy is a boot

You can make your own post base too kzfaq.info/get/bejne/apmJi8mI26ezqok.html

How not to do it... Ouch.

This looks like a hack, DIY'er.

He doesn't have much tools

I would not recommend this technique.

An axe really?!?

Umm no....too dry of a mix and using a hatchet to smooth it? Please stop.

super dry

I can do better.

This is terrible 🤦‍♂️

You are wasting a whole bunch of concrete for nothing, as you are placing a bracket that is not deep enough. I don't think that will hold enough + the concrete looks a bit dry. Thanks anyway for the video and showing "your way" of doing things :)

Scary my friend. You are in the woods. No building code and inspection apparently. A lot of issues here for reliability of these advises as to educate DIY people. As everyone else said here many flaws. Unlike other I would not mind the many posts if your are building with triple 2 by 6 for max height of finished product. Supposed it is for a deck beam? For a house, too many and not on 2 by 6. You did not center your brackets. Your tube hopefully is 18 inch with a VERY wide base and footing. Did not show that. Not sure your rope is aligned to the base of the post. Would all be different size. As some people said, dry concrete (strength but still too dry), and the addition after the fact. Leveling such a dry concrete as you adjust the bracket I fear you brackets base wont be held tight by the concrete. I won't keep going but bad video to follow to be good with the code in any place around ... but the wood.
