Ever wonder how buildings are attached to concrete foundations? There are lots of ways, most of them work off similar principles. Burke Bar here: • You need a Burke Bar
Don't be afraid to go overkill with anchoring things to a foundation. You do NOT want to have a problem with this connection down the road.

I remember learning the 16 penny nail and bailing wire trick when I did form work years ago. I'm so glad you covered it. HILTI has a lot of new fasteners out. They even have a vacuum that attaches to the drill to clean the hole as you go and keeps down the dust which is a health benefit if a ton of holes are to be made

I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place. If you just let the table open or close on it's own and don't force anything, it works great kzfaq.infoUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh Once it's set up, it's pretty solid. My only gripe would probably be related to the clamps provided. They're not the highest quality. They do the job, so no big deal, but they could be better. All in all, pretty cool gadget.

Quick tip: I've used Titans and Tapcons for many years retain my garden hose reels for many years. Of course they are not made to be put in and removed and reinstalled over and over. The bolts are plenty strong for it, but the concrete will strip out. What I do to fix the issue is whenever I do any electrical wiring, I save the bits of 14 gauge cut offs and I slip one into each hole in the block with a bend in it to keep from losing the wire. Then hold up the real and send in the bolts. I've been using this trick for years and years and it has never failed me.. I'd say it is kind of on the same line of thought with the lead anchors.. Also, while working at a nuclear facility, we had to anchor everything extremely well. The threaded rod in epoxy is really extreme duty, but it's proper application is very important. Drill the hole. Wire brush. (I like to put it in a cordless drill for this). Blow out again. Some must be wet. Install epoxy from the bottom of the hole outward using a straw. I then double nut the threaded rod and insert it into the hole using a cordless drive. The epoxy does expand slightly, but getting it into the bottom of the thread before it cooks is key. Love your video's.....

I haven’t seen a cinderblock since I was a kid (a long time ago). They were common near Pittsburgh where the cinders were readily available from the steel mills. The cinders were a byproduct of burning coal and coke and the mills were happy to get rid of them the local municipalities also used them on the roads in winter to provide traction. To the best of my knowledge for the last sixty or so years the building blocks have been made of concrete. I love it when they are still referred to as cinderblocks it brings back memories.

I worked for a summer as an awning installer, and that was my first experience using tapcon wall anchors. Absolutely brilliant piece of kit, if it'll hold a 5' awning through high winds, it'll surely hold up damn near anything you want to hang on a wall. For floor anchors, I prefer drop in inserts to studs. A bit more involved to set, but you can take the bolts out, install a set screw to keep dirt out, and you're left with a flush floor.

Great information thank you for the video. I worked with a crew from Indiana and they told us guys the best and cheapest way to attach wood to concrete and masonry. And the 3/16 masonry bit and 16 gauge tie wire (annealed wire ) dropped into the hole and then drive a 16d box or duplex nail into the hole you drilled. This is the best way hands down. Floor, wall or ceiling. Now if you shoot into the concrete you are fracturing the concrete and there is a chance it will not perform.

@NicolaiSyvertsen 3 жыл бұрын

It is really hard to drill in concrete (rotary hammer or not) without reaming it out. Especially when holding the drill with your hands. Going one step smaller on the drill bit helps. You can get some accuracy if you use a drill press jig to hold the drill exactly perpendicular to the surface.

@billbriggs2309 2 жыл бұрын

A valuable lesson to keep in mind whenever making use of wedge based fasteners: Splitting rock with feathers and wedges... Always be very careful and triple check your design and planning before driving wedge fasteners into a material. The concrete guys on a site I was on years ago had a 'fun and exciting day', along with everyone else nearby, when someone goofed and was 1/32" off on the drill bit size on a series of reinforcement bolts that were being power driven into a foundation wall. One guy had gone along and predrilled all the holes, then two crews came along from either end of a wall with heavy duty power drivers. They were about 2/3rd done when the double height foundation/retaining wall split down the centre line with the sound of a sort of slow explosion going off, and then failed completely. Thankfully everyone managed to scramble away before anyone fell in.

Or, just keep your finger off of the trigger until it is firmly placed against the material you are intending to fasten. Not to mention that if the barrel safety is not depressed first, pulling the trigger won't do anything. Nothing wrong with doing it either way, and way more fun to irritate the safety Sally's. Are you also afraid of a gun going off when in the holster with a round chambered? I am kinda trolling you a bit, but don't be such a puss.

"pushing the nail in can also push in safety"... only if you are stupid. Grasp the barrel with one hand, hold it firmly, and push the nail into the barrel with your other hand. This action will automatically keep your finger off of the trigger, thereby eliminating the possibility of the tool firing. If you can't figure this out, you shouldn't be playing with your mommy's tools. I did that kind of work for 20+ years, no issues. Just be smarter than your tool, and if you aren't, don't use the tool! Good day to you.

We here in europe we do it very diffrently our houses are always made from bricks and we use concrete in everything from top to the bottom of the house yes it takes longer to build 2 weeks if ur good but that house will last much longer then tipical american house and we put rebar in everything :D

"In Europe our houses are always made from bricks/concrete". Someone needs to report this urban legend to snopes.com. It's ridiculously inaccurate. In many European countries there are more wood-frame houses than masonry ones.

That really depends on what your local building codes are. Brick may not be appropriate for everywhere. There are timber framed homes in the US dating to the 18th century. I'd say they got their money out of those homes.

Yes but it's worth mentioning one of the benefits of American construction is we build our houses in America instead of Europe ;)

I dont know about you but I work in this job 20-25 years.I build 2 wood structure houses but i make 10 "regular ones" It was my bad for saying Europa it is not correct .On balkan you will never see wood structure houses .I worked in Germany too everything I have done it was houses that are made from brick and concrete .Im sorry I generalised it too much.!!

A friend of mine turned me on to a fastener made by " Powers ". They are called " Forming Spikes ". They are nothing more than a double headed spike with a kink in the shaft and they are probably made of spring steel. They are re- usable and I can tell you they are a fantastic product. They perform just like the examples you showed with a wire insert into the hole and/or the twin double headed spike technique.
