Rock Solid: Laying Our House's Foundation

In this video, we take you through the process of laying our concrete foundation, a crucial step in building our off-grid home. Due to the annual high water levels we experience, especially during winter, a strong concrete foundation is essential. Specialy because we live in the Netherlands and our home is located in the floodplain of the river the Vecht, where water levels rise significantly, making a solid foundation critical for stability and safety.
Join us as we show you each step, from preparation to pouring the concrete. Learn about the challenges we face and the solutions we implement to ensure our home stands strong against the elements.

Super interesting! What Will you put around the base of the tree to hold It of you can't put concrete directly on the wood?

No you can not indeed. There is a steel pin sticking out of the concreet. The pin goes into the middelpoint of the tree. In our latest video you can see it up close.
