Hello all,
Keep in mind, world is a big place and it has different geographical locations will have different climates and therefore different building codes. All this is done up my to local building codes (my winters are almost non existant and no earthquakes here either) Thank you for watching.
Keep the build-board conclusion idea that you use . It is good for a quick screen shot and good for a conclusion
How much you do this thank you
Where's the rebar?
So how much was the plumbing build and concrete together. Have a project I want to do around the same size.
@@joshuagalvan5422 I am wandering the same. Maybe that is why it is so cheap. I doubt he used fiberglass or micro steel spikes in the concrete.
I bought a piece of land for 7500... built a small cabin then a garage by it... spent 7500 on that too . 4000 on the cabin and 3500 on the garage which is almost like a barn... anyways... now Im saving for the big house. God bless
Notice that they barely say a word to each other. You know you have a good concrete crew when nobody needs to say anything during the pour because everyoneis a professional who knows what they are doing.
Excellent work!
When you work with someone for a while this becomes norm and your guys know what to do without saying anything. That is gold.
Exactly... They all did a great job... Thank them for me.. It's quite the job and back breaking to work out that concrete.
Awesome job guys! 👍😃
The mud was so wet and easy, they didn't need to say anything
@@nirpy That's the way it's supposed to be . It's not necessarily "wet" per se, . They don't mention what mix design. there are other factors besides water content that affect the slump and workability of the mud.
Up here NW Ohio, that slab would have a footing at a minimum of 36 inches deep below the final grade in order to prevent frost jacking. That's the building code around here.
But I've poured concrete down south too, where that isn't necessary. However they have other problems to deal with, such as wildlife. like fire ants, venomous spiders and snakes.
Up here in Ohio you don't have to deal with any of that freaky stuff. The worst we have is mud dauber wasps who gather cement paste off the surface of the concrete to build their nests out of it.
Hell yeah!
i like honesty and transparency with prices of anything, I liked and subbed.
Thank you, and welcome aboard
How much does it cost ? I could not see it in the video
@@masqu4 at 21:27 it says 12 yards of concrete for $150/yard so I'm guessing it cost him $1800 not including the labour and delivery costs?
Hey Mr. MC, ooooo, another video!!!! Yeah us!!!! Thank you!!!!! Going to watch and come back here. THANK YOU SIR!!!!!
Who knew watching cement being poured and polished would be so interesting. Really glad I found this channel.
Thank you, you are providing a valuable service to the public here. Most people have no idea what the real cost of construction is.
That is one of the many reason I made this channel, this info should be out there.
Thank you. Just stumbled onto your channel. It's so nice to hear the cost. I hope your feeling better, take care.
Thank you so much for sharing this information! My husband and I are getting ready to build in the next 7 months. This helps so much!

Thank you for the kind words
Hey MC, another awesome video. I really enjoyed the polishing at the end...very relaxing for some strange reason. stunning scenery too, my gosh. Hope you're feeling better, brother 👍
Thx Zee, I live in paradise here I love it.
I don't get the timing of the polish and why they bothered with the manual I've when they have a machine... How soon can you walk on it and polish?
I stumbled on this video and I love it...the videos are full videos and informative narrative is amazing...I am truly thankful because I am building my own home and this videos really helps also with the prices...thank you a TON and God bless you man...👍🏽🙌🏽
Honest people doing an honest job. Refreshing.
:)
Great video. Hope you feel better. Thanks for these videos. I have 3.98 acres of land that needs clearing one day. Hoping to build my retirement home on the land in the future. These videos help me get an idea of the process
Now that sounds great 4 acres of land does sound like a nice retirement home spot.
What do you plan on doing with the trees cleared out?
Strangely enough this is actually soothing to watch....
Always wondered how these skilled jobs get done. Really fascinating!
:)
Love the layout of this house! Looks a lot like the plans you drew up for me, can’t wait till the next video. 😊😊
I'm already planning the next build so wait till you see that weird thing I'm thinking of building.
I’m sure I’ll love it! 😊😊
@@jovandertuig1042 lol i'm not so sure. I have been toying with the idea to build another small house I just have to find land that allows it.
I love small houses! If we ever get ours going I’ll show you the progress if you’d like 😊
@@jovandertuig1042 I would love that
excellent video,with all info and Honest Details, Love it, thank you
Brave MEN and great informative video. Get well soon Craftman
Thx hope you are feeling good yourself Zeyno.
Have only seen just the first few minutes, but ... looks great! "My kind o' guy."
That man is an amazing eye baller at getting it level!
You have some epic people in your area!!
The forms help a lot with eyeballing :) but he is very good at what he does.
Yes , looks like a great company for sure ! But a back killer of a job though😞
@@melodycrawford9943 Oh yeah you definitelly feel your back at the end of the day.
It's easier with the thinner concrete IMO
He gets the grade in the middle using screed pins. You see them early in the video with colored flagging tied to them.
The information you provide is much appreciated! Good luck!
My pleasure, I'm spilling the construction industry secrets I might pay for that one day when Tony comes and visits me with his friend Louisville slugger.
@@MigraineCraftsman Before the price went up to $150, what was the average price?
@@trejackson3777 I used to get it at 108, but everything is going up slowely.
Not feeling well going to sleep, I'll answer your comments tommorow.
Migraine Craftsman feel better!!
Hope you feel better tomorrow.
Migraines could be caused by high blood pressure. Maybe try cutting back on sodium?
Hope you're feeling better, sir.
@@kendrickdelosreyes5381 Thx, I avoid sodium when I can, it's random for me, even when it rains I get headaches and migraines.
Great work thank you for all of the information.
I love your financial breakdown.
Hello. Love this channel. Where are you now? Stopped building because prices are so crazy now? Hoping you continue your work
I just got quoted $10.5 psf. I'm glad you posted this so I can keep shopping around
Best thing you can do, get couple of qoutes and sometimes you can negotiate. The only thing is when the guys are really busy they wont budge on the price.
Keep in mind dont go to cheap as it will show in the final product, I've walked away from many jobs where the client try's to lowball me and they end up paying the price going with the lower bid especially when they know you're going to give them the better and complete job
@@Blkgoat do you mind expounding on this? What does a low quality job look like vs a high quality job? I'm curious and wanting to learn
@@jl9678 the low quality would be hard to show but I e seen contractors and finishers so called stretch the concrete out of straight up waste material (throw away) and pass the cost off to the customers, finish concrete is an art
@@jl9678 these guys did an excellent job, high quality especially the steps taken to extend the quality and value for all the years to come
Very informative. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much for your videos brother. I just subscribed 👍👏
This is the kind of video a buyer NEEDS to study!!
looks good. would you allow option to reinforce the with steel to reduce chance of cracking?
I just had the same size slab poured in southest iowa,but I had to add 4ft footer!cost was $11,000. But I did have a 24x24 garage on in.
Thanks for this. It’s very helpful in my planning
Glad to be of help
Nice work! Thank you for sharing!
THIS IS PERFECT. Thank you SO MUCH!!! NC and GA??? Where have you been?! 😃😃
Great channel..I like the cost transparency angle
Thx, seldom seen now a days.
this video was so satisfying to watch
I have been looking for this type of video for a loooooong time. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I really, really appreciate your channel and think you are helping people out in the world.
Not sure how you came up with your channel name. Seems to me you help remove a lot of headaches.
thx for watching, as for the channel name I get migraines a lot hence the name.
I'll be following this build, I'm planning on a building just like this in Texas, I want a 30x30 so afew feet bigger.
Another great video! Thank you!!
What a hell of a spot with those mountains.
Love this content. Thank you for this.
Glad you found it of use, take care be safe.
That finisher knows his shit! Good job
He's been doing it for a while and is a good human too which matters
Inspirational! As always :)
as an former readi mix driver you poured a 4 1/2 inch slump. With no rebar or did you add firber mesh to it?
Good video. Is that Sharp Top and Burnt Mountain in the background?
I don’t know why he ran a finishing head first instead of a bull float at first.
You guys did a great job though!! Awesome work 😊
Amazing info bro keep up the good work
thx
how come its so much more shallow in the center of the pad vs the perimeter? does this have any positive or negative effects on the foundation?
It seems like there were no J bolts installed for the was floor sill plate? How is your wall secured to the slab?
Interesting process. Great video!
Thanks brother. Almighty bless for the good info .
Love it. Looking to build tiny 500sqft 2 bed 1b in Clewiston fl soon
That was very satisfying to watch
Why is there rebar only on the perimeter footing? What's to prevent the rest of the slab from cracking when it has no rebar or reinforceing wire in it???
Great videos. You have any info on who to contact in Arizona to build a small house ?
I have a small, wooded, level lot in very sandy central Florida. If you did it's endless sand. I'd like to partially clear it, compact it and drop in a bunch of #57 in the form of a driveway to a clearing patch in the middle. But not just compact enough to drive over, but also a base for an eventual foundation for small/lightweight metal frame single story offgrid house. Is this possible and are their specific requirements I need to meet in Florida?
Here to see how much this would cost me in California for a 350 square foot addition. Things are so expensive out here. Thanks for the good info!
About $12K.
How much time until the power float was set running on top of the slab. Like 2 hours, 3 hours? And what if you didn't have a power float? Say you were on a tight budget and doing all this yourself? A bull float good enough?
very educational! thank you!
Hey so is this clay soil? Im about to build a house on clay soil and want to know the best way to lay the foundation
Does $6.50 a sqft include from start to finish or just for concrete and finishing ?
How many inches deep was the slab and did it use a full 12 yards?
This is where I need to my kind of work
Hello, I live in Hawaii. Do you have a PDF of the layout of this house? I really like how you covered the Pex with PVC. I would like to reproduce this house in Hawaii.
Anybody know how much would be something like this in Bancroft Ontario?
Thx
How is there no rebar in the slab? I live in the south also and have never seen any pour without rebar.
How much you charge to do the same thing for like 1200 sqf I want to build a condo for myself
Between whoever was adding water at the mixer and that ground barrier bet that was a good long paint-dry situation hah. Also echoing others, shout out to that one man army that’s wielding the 12-14’ screed like it’s nothing never seen anything quite like that lol very impressive.
Beautiful!
Where do you get your plan for a house this size
How much do you think a 16x40 foot tiny house would cost one bedroom one bath
About $500 additional to put 1" EPS under the concrete and would give you I think an R value of 5, it does make a difference in heating costs in upstate SC
Yes, it all depends on the location if there is a benefit of doing it. In construction you really have to watch how you spend your money couple things here and there and before you know it a house that should have cost $100K to build turns into a $200K project and people run out of money and are stuck with an unfinished house. Seen this time after time with people and contractors even, good luck selling a house that is not finished and does not have an certificate of occupancy, that is a headache I don't want.
Any help with information to do a small house in Arizona.
I have a 1600 square foot house in central Texas. The foundation was built with plenty of rebar throughout, and pretty good beams in both directions crossing each other. Hasn't prevented the whole thing from cracking all over, and needed foundation work three times. I just finished about a week ago getting it done for the third time. The middle was sinking, so I had to have holes cut into the slab. That's how I now how well the foundation was done. The entire house was off by about 3 inches. Cost over $16500 to level. Just saying, it isn't enough to have a well made foundation, it depends on where it's at too. Texas is notorious for these issues.
Mark you are correct Sir, I am actually going to go over that information in the next episode. Location and environment plays a HUGE role on what can be done and where.
What a caos always keep in mind when getting any concrete done make sure to have quality concrete pour mix. anything under 3,500 psi its basic trash. For a house its should at least be 4,000 psi and that's what we do unless foundation plans state something higher. rebar should always be placed on chairs. Grading and leveling are a most be perfect and if piers are on your budget even better. But before starting any foundation plans you have to get a soil test sample and see what foundation is required for that particular land. It will save you so much moving forward. hope your foundation will now be perfect and give you no more problems
My house is 750 square feet, and is 1 bedroom 1 bathroom. Open floor plan and 11 foot vaulted ceilings. I have a short wall foundation, and it cost 3,500$ in 1995.
I wish you were here in Utah because I would love you to build me a smaller home around 1200 sq ft. You do an amazing job from design to finish!
Thx Utah is a beautifull place, nice area. Watch the channel and you can learn how to be your own contractor and manage the project like I do. Lot of states let you build a house as an OWNER BUILDER, as long as the house is for you to live in. Check in on that for your state.
@@MigraineCraftsman I'll have to do that, thanks!
@Mark Reeder Yes, he really does a great job of showing us from start to finish and I like how he breaks down the cost of everything.
