Your dad looks like the coolest dude going!!! Rock in!!!!🙌🏼🤘

I got 5 years watchin youtube bricklaying work but YOU ARE NUMBER ONE , YOU REALLY HELP PEOPLE ,GOD BLESS YOU!

The best video I’ve watched on squaring a foundation ✊....thank you guys

Awesome seeing someone who cherishes their parent bro much respect 🙌

I AM GOING TO STUDY THIS, THIS IS A STARTING POINT IN BUILDING MY HOUSE, THAT I WANT TO OVERSEE, GREAT VIDEO KEEP THEM COMING❗❗👌👌👍👍

These vids are about as real you can get. They don’t skip steps. This is tried and true. Brings back 30 yrs ago when I first saw this process. Keep up the good work guys You need to up that pump hose size huh.

Probably the best kzfaq.infoUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU on building a shed is hardly found ever . And Ryan takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.

That's awesome. Thanks for sharing❤

I’m learning layout and studying it and thank you for the awesome help. I took down notes for the future!!!

You're the guys and keep doing that great job now um a trade man because of your videos and say thanks to Grandpa too

Wondering if I’m the only one watching this because I’m trying to apply for construction jobs ??

Loving the videos I do the very same thing in Dublin Ireland and its mutch of the same just more and deeper but thanks for taking the time to share this with us all 🧱👷‍♂️⚒👍

Love your video! Nice respect to Dad!

So awesome. This is exactly how I learned to layout a stemwall but we didn’t haven’t the laser with tone so we used an optical. I remember coming onto a new crew shortly after moving to Cali and they were completely lost on this technique so they were taking 2-3 days just to layout a foundation using torpedoes, batter boards and a string. I took the foreman’s tape, cut it off at 24 inches, used a pair of Zip ties to hold it to a 2ft level and pulled my transit from the trunk of my car and we proceeded to find the low point, marked it all out after measuring the diagonals and runs from the lowest corner, then I had them set the foundation stakes 8 inches outside the corners so we could pull line, spray the dig lines for the 24” bucket. We had the trenches dug and corner pins in before lunch! I got a 2$/hr raise out of that! And I got to sit on my cooler looking through the transit for all of our builds after that! Good on y’all and keep up the good work!

Awesomely explained!!!

Impressive.. Thanks for the video.

😊❤ Very helpful

Good video especially like the pump truck blow out at the end

Awesome to see your dad in a video! Looks like his work has paid off :P

Great video! Thank you for the solid content.

Great video very easy to understand 😃

Awesome, really helpful

Thank you bro. Am learning something new

I really enjoyed this video, thanks

Dad is looking good, hope you all staying safe during this tuff times.🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼

You Dad is Great ❤❤❤

In my experience on the commercial side of things a set of Legs for your laser level is worth it and much more stable than having it sit on something, just a thought! Love your videos

Plot twist when he said “ looks good nothing wrong with that he was actually just trying to keep ur mood up 😂😅 jk amazing to have a dad like urs great work and very helpful video. As a minority apprentice carpenter I want to be the best in my field. Thanks for this very helpful

cool video. great shots.

Been in the commercial side of construction for 30 + years. This is a simple way to lay out a foundation that I've used for years. Awesome to still see old school work.

Great video! What program do you use for you design layouts?

EXCELENTE VIDEO, ME GUSTA

Nice lay out procedure bro.

Surprised you use your nail hammer on rebar. Great channel,always lots of good info

This is the vid I need

Jamie is identical to his dad! 👏👏👍👍😃😃

Realy awesome...good bro

Good job.

Thank you

Best video ever. How many rebars would you need for an area 24" widex 16" thick and 6 foot long? Thank you

7:15 Break for Crocete! Thanks for the vid! :D

You guys are doing awesome. Thanks for sharing the tips! There’s not many of us builders out there anymore.

Love the UC shirt. Go Bearcats!

Great videos. Question. You mention "when J-bars are tied in from the steel in the footer". Where can I learn about what this means? Do you have a video on installing the rebar for the footer?

Looking forward to the laser level video

This is why your math teacher said to pay attention in class.🤓 🚧The Pythagorean theorem is very important in construction boys and girls.🚧🏠

You’re awesome so smart

Awesome bud . You do great job of making something complicated look simple. Essentially you drove the rebar into proper height to level the footing . Any benefit using that method over Using grade pegs ?

Did you do another video to show how you establish the initial starting point for the first corner and establish the second point for setting up your 90 degrees?

Plz do u have any video on setting out of foundation using the batten board?

Really had to mention Pythagorean’s theory 😂😂👌👌that was my funniest part Great job.

Very nice

Good stuff

I need to be part of purkin brothers!

Nice videos

Mr. Perkins, between 5:09 and 5:19 you mention two depths. One 8" below and the other 12" below bottom. Are these code depth, or where do those depths come from? Is that bottom, top of middle of footer? I'm a laying my own foundation in FL. Thanks in advance

Have you ever tried water in a clear vinyl tubing to keep level across big spans?

Form-A-Drain is the way to go 👍

Ha, Jamie is a spitting image of dad.

Do you later hand dig a french drain trench around the footer's perimeter?

What program do you like for designing plans on your computer?

Nice video

Waww..nicee..

Which program do you use to design that house?? Looking for a good design program that also does take offs

What computer software do you use to draw plans? Anybody have a good suggestion on building pools or pool enclosures/ framin

I've dug plenty of footings for foundations but we've always used batter boards and a transit, but how was it done without a transit

What program did you use to design the house ?

sir correct me if im wrong. so your laser was set at 12" above grade,at your lowest point you got 16" so your lowest point was 4"below the top of the footing, the 12" inches that your laser is set at plus the 4" from you low point is 16" to reach the 12" footing below grade you would need to add 8" more for a total of 24". wich is what you adjusted your marker to plus 8" Right?

At 3:30 regarding your reference stakes, isn't that really what the precisely-located nails on the batter boards do? I do like my stakes a bit further back and well out of the way of the machinery.

Awesome

Which app did you use to design the plan?

Wow your dad looks cool

What the tool called that you used to poke the soil. I'm assuming to test soil compression?

I want to build my own home. No construction experience, I went to college to be a teacher. I was interested in learning to prep the foundation for a rancher or cape cod home. Are there home construction trade schools for older adults?

What app are you using for that calculator you were using on your phone in thr video

I really love this channel it's not like your average construction channel. You go into real depth of codes and certain tips and tricks to making your job done much easier!!

May i know, what is the receiver you clip on that water balance? Any reference link so that i can have the review?

How did you determine the rebar locations so they fall between the web of the block?

Yes . What was that thingy you used to poke holes or marks in the dirt and why you were doing that. Thanks

Which CAD are you using for the designs?

Exactly what I was looking for at 2:40. I reckoned 2 tapes was the way to go, but I was thinking about the right angle, not the hypotenuse. Seems so obvious now!

what software did you use to design the layout of the house? cad?

İ need to lift one corner of the house then put some support underneath the footing. My question is, after lifting up the house, how am l supposed to fill the gap between footing and soil? Or it should be ok just the way it is? Can you guys gimme some ideas please thank you.

When you pull the tape measure off the string line to make the footer 2’ wide. How do you know you’re pulling off square. Or does it not really matter?

Thank you. What is the yellow tee thing you were stabbing into the ground at the 7:15 mark my friend?

We're you in Canada today? I saw a truck with brothers on it bit couldnt read the rest

Hey mate love your videos. Quick question. Why not just measure 3 feet further for the reference pins the first time. Instead of resetting 3 feet off? You could still draw 3 feet outside on your plans and use Pythagorean’s T to do the same?

We just drove pieces of rebar into the inside of the trench and shot the top of the rebar with the transit, then we would pull string from one piece to the other and tighten string and drive rebar to string,

On which software you design this plan.

Do I have to go to school for this?

No temporary forms for those dirt walls. Depth?

Honestly.... Best video so far. Out of all the videos I have watched the past week this one goes in very good detail. This video made it easy to understand, not only the importance of each step, but also had great detail of what each step entails. GREAT VIDEO.

Often wondered. If someone wanted a block foundation that is exactly 25’x60’ (outside corners) would that interfere with the block size? So that you understand what I’m asking, 25’ = 300” / 300” divided by 16” = 19.75 not quite a full block. Or is this a non-issue for a good block layer? Please help so I can sleep at night. Thanks, love the videos!

Could you explain more in depth how to set up a starting point of a footing/corner

How does 8 inches from the ouside and 16 from the inside center the wall over the 2 foot footing? 2x6 thickness + 1/2 drywall + 1/2 sheathing is only 6.5 inches. Shouldn't it be 8 or am I missing something?

Thanks for sharing! This will be really helpful for us when we do our footers soon. What software do you use to make your blueprints?

Footing not footer , just saying, and old school that’s for sure every time, great jobs mate .

It seems weird. Here in Illinois we did the grade to the bottom of the footing the whole thing. Then stone with 3/4 stone and drain tile usually the outside. Now we do radon vents inside the pad it makes it easier if there are columns in the middle

thanks for the video! just a question! you mentioned after finding the ground's lowest point you needed to dig 8 inches below that level to get to the top of the footer , then you fixed your reciever on (lowest point + 8") . so my question is why the footer depth itself was not also part of the calculation for digging? thanks

what brand is the small laser you used in this video? thanks
