Matt you are so poised and well spoken, a true positive role model for young builders.

Check the manual. You're supposed to be smoking a cigarette when running the compactor. 🚬

Hey Matt, great seeing you back online. Really appreciate your way of communicating to the rest of us. Enjoy watching you build, it’s how I unwind for the day!

Good to have you and your crew back. Wishing you, your crew and friends and family a healthy and prospering year!

I started an addition on my house last fall. My concrete guy backed out and I ended up doing the foundation myself rather than wait 5 weeks for a different one. I needed this video back then.

Your lucky to have your Dad! He's handy AF! You guys rock! Good to see you running equipment too! All around men that's what I'm talking about.

Perfect timing and love your detail in this so far, thank you so much for sharing skills/knowledge. Just got our permits here (Maui - Hawaii; took 17 months with only 3 comments and one revision, no structural changes), so about 3-weeks behind you! Great to refresh memory. Aloha!

Great to have you back! Missed you guys, just keep the content coming.

loving the build series dude, bang on!

thanks Matt for keeping your channel growing and goin .... enjoy every single one!

Nice to see ya'll back at it. Nice clean form work.

hey just wanted to say thank you for all of the hard work you've done keep it up

Good to see u back on the job and filming new videos!! Can't wait to see the upcoming episodes

beautiful traditional craftsmanship. here in the Netherlands we use polystyrene foam prefab formwork. nice to see how it is done in your country. good luck with the construction!

This step must be nerve racking. Enjoying your videos! Thank you Matt!

Welcome back! Hope you had a good break! Can't wait to see your moving build series. My wife and I have wanted to move up north out of the city (Phoenix).

Great job Matty Boyee! Tks for the tips! 👍🏻

Have you watched #1? New series, going to be a good one! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jJaop8pnrd7Jg3U.html

love the process! this job is coming along!

Great to have you guys back, 👍🏻🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

Nice work, we do footers and block foundations walls around my area. Nice to see things done differently.

Hi Matt. Greetings from southern Maine. Working in tee shirts . Must be nice. Still have ice and snow here. This will be a fun build to watch. Glad your back. Enjoy the day. Ray L

You’re old man gets down man !! He does it all . You’re stoked to have such a good teacher!

I'm glad to see you starting a new project.

Great videos.. I been waiting for you to come back on with more builds....

Thank God the neighbor allowed you to use there property. Looking good so far.

You guys kicking the forms butt. Stay safe & keep up the great work.

Nice to see that your truck is decked out! That is a great product.

Hey!! From Jackson, MS. I love you work and cometary. Keep doing what your doing!

I just built a house on a crawl space. Took so many yards of concrete, digging footer and pier holes. Plus the block. My next one I want to do stem walls. I think it’ll be more cost effective. Glad I came across this video

Dope seeing the little tips and tricks👌

I learned a lot of tips today . Love your channel

Awesome work Matt 👌👌

That Makita saw just looks awesome and so handy.

Great video! Those are some tight quarters to work in for sure!

Had a great day at work and I get another video I just went from 6 to 12 !

Took a while to find this channel. Great working explaining the process. Danke!

Can’t wait for “pour day” 💪🏻👍🏻

this building series looks straight out of a show 🔥

Matt it’s like watching a young Larry haun keep up the good work 👍

If anybody comes here to learn anything as a builder or DIYer or whatever else. I'm telling you right now what Matt talks about beginning @8:38 is why this team is 100%, solid fking gold. It would be good enough reason to use this crew knowing how good of framers they are. But the fact that they also can (and are willing to) do the footings/foundation as well... This allows them to do EXACTLY what he talks about where I said. I'm telling you... This video clip should be hosted in the JLC. Have I already mentioned that this ability is solid fking gold to have on your list of subs if you are a GC? Well ok... I said it twice. And I ain't kidding.

Really like the way you explain things dude. 👌🏻

Keep coming with the videos. Good knowledge

Experience shines, mr bangswood!

Damn dude glad to see you back!

Awesome job, dude.

Great video Matt!

So glad to see such an in depth foundation video! Keep up the killer work Matt

I’m so glad you’re back

Enough form lumber to build a small house! Great videos, learn alot, thanks.

Great video alot of knowledge

Man the forms look good I don’t do much form work or Rebar , I’ve mostly work on schools fire houses . I was working a wile with Jacobs Conststruction built some beautiful custom homes for them one way out in the country it was a 10,000+ square foot house anyway take care man nice work 🤙✌️🥳

Cool video. Expensive forms.

thanks for sharing the knowledge

Heyy Matt! I love watching you work and it helps with the tips. I’m in college right now studying to be a carpenter 👍🏻

Thanks for your videos

Nice to see a "old fashioned" slab on grade there, with stem walls. LOL. Out here in Phoenix, damn near every new house built over the last 15-20 years is a post tension slab... much cheaper for builders to go with, but makes future reno a pain when moving pipes or running in floor electric. Have to get an xray out to map the tension wires and when most are like 12" on center in north-south/east-west, it's really impossible to do anything without major changes to the foundation.

excellent work😎

really enjoyable & well explained. I am curious why you are using new form boards rather than used ones (unless the sizing is easier)

Great to see Fox with you. Your Grandpa would cut down the handle on Fox’s sledge hammer, though!! No choking up allowed! LOL. Keep bangin’.

Buen trabajo!!!🙋‍♂️👍

Great video and work, but I knew it was going to be top notch when I saw your Mc D coffee! I get mine every morning.

How far do you guys go with the working? like just to the framing? roofing? the whole thing?

Do you use the Vaughan Dalluge? I’ve had mine about 6 months and love it.

15:00 aha the things we talk about, I am a GC but I always help, even with concrete finishing, talked to a crew about UFOs and big foot for about 1 hr straight.

Nice to see Zip/liquid flashing/tape. Should be standard but is still quite rare.

Nice you are back with new build. Good neighbor came through. Maybe not poopy dupey 😆

New sub here Enjoying the build series

Nice To See You Guys Is Been A While Since October 🔨📐🤟🏼 Like That Helly Chopper Sound 👍🏼

Good stuff man! I like how u do from the ground up. Being in concrete for so long it's nice to see! But your killing me with the baby sledge u guys are using lol. Bust out the 8 lb. man! Can't wait for more! Bang on!!!🤘

Framing question for you when you nail the bottom plate you are supposed to use galvanized nails can you use those on the top of the wall with the top plate as well?

Nice job. Great video. Why didn't you guys opt to do a monolithic slab foundation?

Ein meisterwerk

how do you remove the stakes that hold the stem wall from the footer after the pour or do you just leave them in forever?

nice!!!!

How long are those stakes? Also width of boards? Might use that for my 3ft retaining wall that I got to build.

Good work boys hurry up goddamit! Just kidding, framer been dabbling a bit in formwork and concrete myself and I actually really enjoy it.

Might be a dumb question but on the outside form how are you establishing where the stake goes prior to putting up the 2x12?

Already back on the Makita horse 🤙🏽

Hit it harder Fox!

Dope!

What is the purpose of the 4” stem wall on the house? I understand the garage but I’m not sure on the house.

that is a tight space, did you guys have your "Confined workspace Training" yet? lol And "form work" a great way to learn or perfect your hammering skills.

What app do you use to make your house plants ?

Matt, in the stem wall episode #2 @17.19 into the video I noticed you are nailing the board from the side concrete will be. I am finding that I may have to do the same as I build my stem wall. Did you run into any problems when removing the stem wall? How did you tackle removing the lumber's 90 degree angle with the nail attached on the concrete side? Hope my question is not too confusing. I had a difficult time wording the question. Thanks

Hey mate any reason you use nails instead of screws with the boxing never seen it before

What do you guys do with the wood forms after. Are they used in the build or do you use them on different Projects?

Good old moisture content tests. Pain in my ass during rain season lol

what rebar bender do you guys use?

Return of the 🦊🤘🤘

Very professional video and content man!! You did a video about bidding/estimating before. How about you do one for this foundation part of the work?? From a customers or potential owner builder I'm definitely interested in this!!!

I’m not sure if you have said this before But my man I need that eat sleep frame repeat hoodie Where do I get it?

So do y’all just leave the stake in the footing when you strip the forms ?

Where do you source the stakes from?

What’s the name and brand of your device to check everything is leveled out. How cool. Also, I always wanted to know what you guys do with all the wood pieces that are left over. Thanks always for sharing my friend. Clean videos and sharp audio. Appreciate it

Hey Matt what’s the tool you are using to cut/bend the steel definitely need one of those

You scored on the work space next door.Thanks for the details and skipping the potty mouth version.Good luck on the "Mummy" build.

LIQUID FLUSHING IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO❤️❤️❤️❤️

any chance of you going back to the ridge and giving us a final look?

correct me if im wrong on the tracks it was all steel stakes an a dug up footing perimeters, tons of dirt compacting though, pour in place founds
