House Build 43 - Waterproofing Part 1 - The Legacy Block

I am preparing the Legacy Block surface for waterproofing by filling gaps and cracks with expanding foam then rasping the excess foam and some of the uneven surface. The actual water proofing is done by spraying an elastomeric waterproofing onto the block. I explain the equipment used and show the process. During this process my Wife is assembling Rocket Pocket brand pocket door sliders so the framers can install them.

Wow, what a massive job. I hate heights, and couldn't done those high spots. Of course my arms wouldn't have lasted that long, either. Too bad you couldn't have worn your Builder Pros standing on that ladder. I think they'd have made it more comfortable for your feet. Maybe you could've worn them at first when prepping, but sure not when your were spraying. 🙂 My Nicks shrunken bison boots are scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. Hope they fit as well as my Overlanders.

It was a long day. I didnt record the two hours of cleanup at the end. Thankfully, it wasn't too hot. It got up to 104 (115) the next day. My shoulders were pretty smoked after that! My Builders would have been more comfortable on the ladder but the boots I was wearing got spray foam then waterproofer all over them and I didn't want that stuff on my Nick's. I hope your new ones are as good for you.

I detest ladders too Tony. Glad to see the waterproofing working out well. I noticed Mrs Ozarks Ethic wearing a West Point shirt. Is that your Alma mater? I watched a video a while back on their dining hall. It was very interesting. An old friend of mine that taught me a lot about fine grading attended VMI. I learned a lot of attention to detail from him. There's something to be said for good discipline. Now we are off to chicken butchering land....

I'd rather jump out of planes than be on a ladder. No, I didn't attend West Point. I taught there. I attended Arkansas Tech for undergrad and Rutgers for grad school. A good friend of mine attended VMI. There is definitely something to be said for discipline which is severely lacking in more recent generations. Don't work TOO hard processing your chickens.

@@ozarksethic that's awesome Tony. I don't like planes either though lol. We are all set up finally for butchering. Y'all have a good day.
