Thanks

Thanks for watching

Thanks

Thanks buddy

Thanks

😊😊p0😊

Thanks

Thanks for watching and the words of kindness and having a great crew is my biggest help could not do it without them 👍

honestly, at first glance i thought this system was pretty cool but then i got to thinking from my own profession's point of view. i have spent the last 25 years repairing damaged masonry work of all types from brick laying to block and stone laying to tuck-pointing, epoxy injections, stucco, etc. if i got a call about a basement wall leaking and went out to see what the issue is only to find the concrete in question covered in 4 inches of styrofoam, i would simply turn the job down on the spot. a system like this is great if everything works as intended and accidents never happen, but i guarantee that you'll have leaks no one in the world is willing to mess with within the first 10 years of pouring a basement using a system like this, unless you live in a desert environment where rain is nearly non-existent.

Thanks

You more than welcome my friend !

Thanks Donald

Awesome and thanks

👌

Thanks Todd

Thanks and no I have not

Thanks

Thanks

Good deal and will do that

@@DirtPerfect do you use a vibrater at all in 9 foot walls?

Yup. Very good point

It's not plastic it's engernd material my k holer teacher told us. its not kawsekie. But it was fun and me and my rep played nici after when I left Honda sucked

Plant a pointy bush on a water or sewer line

@Pennsylvania Mike yes found that out the other day when a spray bottle of cherry air freshener broke over my leg aka uv does suck plus this is liquid sent not that cardboard crap i had a 1\4 qt in my pants and shoe. Though i gave 3 nice ladys a show 😂

Thanks

Thanks appreciate that

Thanks

Thanks appreciate that

😂😜

This is ideal for for the beach

Oh don’t worry he got it on this last one we did he had wore a nice shirt to the job and it got a little concrete on it 😜😂

Thanks buddy

Good ? And depends on the location of the joint in the wall

Yes have a video coming next week on that

Depends on the dirt and overdid

Lol

Good information

Unfortunately no I would call the batch plant and ask them

Thanks toe screw at angle

@@DirtPerfect Toe screw... makes sense!. Follow up: If the strong backs keep the top course straight, how do you get the wall to bend inward 1" along the middle of the wall before the concrete is poured? It seems like you would be fighting the strong backs when you crank the turnbuckles down.

Have some other videos check them out thanks

Bobby B it’s all day! You would think I would get tired of it but when he heads home I miss it 😝

@@DirtPerfect somebody needs to make his logo... With a Jabber Jaw Shark on it!

But he makes the day so much more fun, least that’s what I’d have to keep telling myself haha. Nice video as always!

Better ? For the batch plan they have a icf mix that works awesome we pour at a 5 slump

No built in work nudut

Toe

Because that’s how they recommend to instal and it’s much easier

Look up USA attachments that’s the one I have

Doesn't matter where one lives, this mode of construction is energy and cost efficient, termite-proof and so on. Even second story walls may be formed from this style of construction.

@@jeffcotton526 True, I was only saying the insulating part is not what makes a major criteria here. The only other point that has no impact here is the termite proof. We don't have that pest here.

It's also great for high wind areas and coastal areas where hurricanes are frequent. Most 6" cavity walls will withstand 200mph debris.

Email is the best way thanks

Yes just don’t like it as well

Never a fan of that but can be done faster but I think harder to get a nice wall

Look at the spec you might me suppressed

Lol not good

Not much

Lol

Lol

Hate doing that spend the whole time waiting on the plumber and protecting the floor you just poured and drill holes to mount braces

No

@@DirtPerfect good thing it's never happened, that be one helluva mess

Better not let water in That’s not good 😬😁

Ok

That’s the hole point of the system

@@DirtPerfect what do you mean? to leave the customers with a mess that no one will ever want to do repair work on if something goes wrong? seriously asking, not trolling, though if that IS the whole idea... that kinda makes anyone who uses and promotes these systems a scam artist at best in my opinion.

No not a real thing

@@DirtPerfect There are termite inspectors who won't inspect an ICF home, so would like to see you do a discussion about why it's not an issue. I would love to not have to go to the trouble of termite blockers if I don't need to do it. But there are definitely people who say I should. Might be worth a video about it.

Nudura

River gravel

Concrete

I'll look into that. Thanks

lol it’s not hard just a few tricks that help we go between two and 3 feet lifts at a time have several videos on install icf on the channel hope they help if not email me at mike@dirtperfect1.com

@@DirtPerfect Thank you. I will check them out and exhaust all options before harassing and bombarding your email :D

👍

We have went as high as 30' but we only pour 10' vertical of concrete at a time. Next day 10' and so on. You can even pour roof systems with ICF.

6 inch six floors

In this case yes

Yes

Check out the video on icf bracing links in the comments

jeffery miller thanks for watching refer to previous videos I’m going to be to busy to make it back out

im just wondering what the hell happens after the pouring is done.... how do you finish the interior? do you just live with exposed styrofoam for the rest of your life, never allowing your kids to handle sharp objects or do normal kid stuff that might damage the styrofoam? how do you keep the styrofoam from rotting under ground on the outside of the building? i know i've personally never seen a piece of styrofoam last more than a couple years under ground without turning to mush. what do you do when the concrete cracks after 10 years and you cant find anyone willing to fix the problem because there is 4 inches of styrofoam covering it followed by 2 inches of plastic sticking out every few inches? it does look like an easy to use system, but its really not very well thought out and i guarantee if you go with a system like this, you will have massive issues a few years down the road. also... with all those plastic ties in the wall, packed so tightly together, you'll be losing quite a bit of strength in the wall, and every place where the plastic ties penetrate through the face of the concrete is a potential place for a crack to start... so thats what, like 400 potential crack starters in this particular build? then there is the fact that a basement should never need to be insulated in the first place... dirt is pretty much the best insulator in the world and basements are naturally surrounded by it, which is why a basement is generally the coolest room in any house on a hot summer day, or the warmest part of a house on a frigid winter day.

Yes on this one

Dirt Perfect e never seen that type of wall here in Virginia. We are 99% form and pour. But r56. I’ll check it out. Thanks for the great content.

About a hr

Depends on the weather

You usually have a couple guys dedicated to watching the string during the pour.
