Never seen before ICF Mono pour system Part 2

- We are pouring out our ICF mono pour stem wall for a new home build. This is a system I developed using common materials and any brand of ICF like Fox blocks Nudura Logix or any of the others. We are pouring the wall and the footer at the same time with a conveyer truck. This is a good DIY ICF foundation series.
Too many contractors do not spend enough efforts on vibrating concrete in forms, but rather add water and weaken mix and or leave voids, you by contrast even have a seperate crew of 2 just vibrating. And with ICF concrete finishes will never be seen. Quality well placed jobs are a reflection of the companies leaders commitment to doing jobs right Congrat.. I would hire your firm in a New York Minute! Ray
Built my garage with a mono pour (footer and walls at same time). No stronger way of doing it! One thing that I did different was compact the ground below the footer and add 6 inches of road base gravel and compacted that as well.
Glad to see you joined the Bud Light Boycott!
Great video as always. The best part was hearing you gave up the Bud Light 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ya Jim I am done.
Thanks for beer change 😅😊 I never had gunny 😮 , good night to the team
Good switch on the beers!
I was sad to see the Bud Light in part 1 and thrilled that no Bud Light was in Part 2. Im with you on the no Bud Light not because of the Dylan thing but because of the VP woman who dissed the Bud Light drinkers as "Fratty" and out of touch. Stay with it! Don't let the boycott wear off. Great video. Thank you!
I worked with ICF for 13 years now and never did a Mono pour b4 . risky stuff but Ya's got her done . AWESOME JOB !
Thanks 😊
Looks great.
Please keep us updated as the build continues.
I'm so happy. This is perfect.
You know how easy you made it on my son's and me. You are the only contractor that i can actually get them to watch and take advice from. They are in their 20s and it helps
Beautiful job! Cool machine. A lot work. A little bit of fun and a cute doggie to boot. Thank you.
I'm avoiding all A-B products myself which kinda sucks because I like an occasional Guinness and they're the importer for that beer.
Ya it sucks
That concrete chute extension arm is amazing thing never seen before
Good evening from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. That concrete truck was amazing. You and your guys did a great job on the pour. 🇺🇸
Great job you and the boys. Went smooth as glass.. All the supports held tight. Nice job boys and the supervisior Roto ws the best keep the men working to get the job done.
You woke up, Love it.🇬🇧
Good job! Thanks for sharing!
Great team, great team work, awesome results. Thanks for sharing all the details including shots of lumber needed. Always a reality check on how much work and material is needed
lookin' good, Budlight really stepped in it! It's Millertime in GA!
I did this 20 years ago. And it is great. And all American beer sucks!
Nice job boys !!!
Beautiful job
Thanks John
I thought the first truck driver was going to say "no" when you told him you were starting on the other side. LOL
Nice work. I'm planning an ICF monopour for my property in VT. This info is helpful.
Made my day to see AMERICAN'S that are not bud lite drinkers ,way to go real men.
Great Job Guys! Very Innovative. Looks like it's going to work out Great with the ICF creating a stronger Footing. You mentioned that it was more work. Maybe, but in the long run, I think you're saving yourself time. Anyway, Thanks for Loosing the BLUE stuff!!
I like this technique. This is what I was thinking to do with my daylight basement wall, but the conduit trick is a great touch. I could go back and cut them with a grinder disc, then backfill in masons mix with a giant syringe to seal them up.
A full basement is so underrated. Here in the northeast will build 10' now to give plenty of room. Some people even do 12 to make an even nicer basement. They are so nice and it can almost double your living space, plus put utilities for easy access. Crawl spaces suck to work in.
Super looking job Ron. Glad you had a good experience with the fox blocks. I chose them on my DIY home build also and so far I'm glad I did. Can't wait to see the rest of the build. And you are absolutely right about the work involved. It ain't as easy as they claim but in the end I think they are the way to go. Well insulated and tight. That hoodie Sean was wearing looked nice too. You should have a merc link...
Why did you choose Fox blocks over other brands?
I love your discussion on bud
Thanks
Have you ever tried Fastfoot fabric for your footers, can also be used for monopours , you save on lumber. Nice job😊
Just joined your channel. Really enjoying your concrete pours. Next time, I would really be interested in seeing more specifics on your tie ends and joining to the existing foundation. Thanks ...nice to see someone who knows the business.
A real smart looking job bondo, love watching the video's, atb 🙂👍
Thanks Adam
Man, watching part 1; I thought for sure you guys would be struggling with stuff moving around trying to pour the footer and walls in one shot. I was so wrong...well done guys!
Thanks. Ya it went smooth as a gravy sandwich. lol
Watched a few of your videos....now i subed....nice work...no bud light....😀
Love your work enjoy watching your videos god bless you hope you have a busy year no more bud light for me I quit when I found out hope they go broke❤
Thank you. No more for me either.
Been waiting for part 2 to see how it worked out for you and the crew. Excellent presentation and idea. I order my icf blocks for Monday delivery. Cut and drilled my conduit today. Following your lead bondo. The only thing I'm doing different is I'll be knocking the conduit out on form stripping day. I've had success taking out through bolts on forms next day, so I'll see how that goes.
Keep up the good work sir.
Awesome glad you are using my system. You could just cut them off with a grinder also.
David zimmerman. Why would you take the conduit out? I don't see a benefit in doing so.
@@absolutetorquetuning7956 maybe so there's not dozens of open penetrations through the foundation wall? They would be much easier to patch, though I suppose you could also just shoot the conduit with spray foam.
Ready for work
GOOD JOB
Your jobs are growing huge interesting videos The do it all concrete crew looks like Expandable Poly Stirean to me nice work first time I've ever heard of ICF maybe modified EPS
6👍's up thank you for sharing 😮
fox block rock!
Came for the "Here Comes the Mud" and stayed for the No Budt Light. Thanks for not promoting the new ideological insanity. You just got a Subscribed, Like, and Comment. Thank you for the wonderful videos and explanations.
You have the perfect dog. The lights are on but nobody's home. Those are the best dogs. They don't have an agenda other than to hang with you. No fear of them killing u in your sleep or chewing the door of it's hinges.
They are all about easy livin. Great vid. Hmmmmmm
Awesome you WOKE UP 👏 . The Governor
pbs nova : the miracle of life. good learning video on u tube
LOL...boycotting Bud Light. Love it.
Yup
Love the Bud Light boycott. Bondo that house is on a slab? That's how it's done with frost protection on a slab?
Great job. 👍🏻
Labatt is owned by Anheuser🙂 just so you know
Good content and enjoyable to watch. My only beef is tat you should do more closeups to show details
Definitely no trans mission fluid
FYI - Labatt is owned by the same company as Bud. AB InBev owns a lot of brands!
Im drinking Genny
But Frank was drinking Labatt Blue Light. Stick with Genny; great, traditional NY beer!
Nice monopour but it seems pretty labor intensive, especially with all the corners and details.
I want to try it with some different products. There is a thing thats plastic like ICF studs but no foam and you install foam strips in them to make an insulated monopour footer that holds your first course of ICF. That would eliminate lots of the bracing requirements and there would be much less to strip.
That and plastic under the entire footer-slab should eliminate rising damp and will be ready to build the walls up to the roof to make a nearly impervious building.
Then there is a technique of installing ledger boards and second story floor joists as bracing before the pour to keep the first floor wall straight without using as much bracing (that needs to be stripped later).
Lastly, just simplifying the detail of the house would probably save $$$, give him more square footage and make the waterproofing and finishes easier...
Of course I'm sure that's not what he wanted but when you find a customer that wants you to build a cost effective design, that's the building you should hold out as an example of what you can do with ICF and attention to detail.
Try AMVIC blocks, they make a taper top block which is smooth on top and has a wider concrete profile, this way you don't have to waste time cutting off the interlocks and creating more waste to pick up or dispose of. Available in R-30 and R-22. Also where there may be doors on perimeter I recip out wedges of EPS between the webs so we get more concrete in a wider profile to support door threshold or a slider but keep an inch of EPS so the floor can be warm and isolated from the cold
Once the foreigners bought Budweiser I switched to Coors light. Now there's no way I would drink Bud light.
Looking good.
I've never bought a bud, maybe had one if offered. I've always drank premium or coors banquet. 👍
Ya Andy I am done with Bud Light. Thanks
Coors is same company, for what is worth. I asked Google,
@@Driver-ur9mf not sure what you got going on.
When I look it up, it says coors is owned by Molson Coors and budweiser is owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV. Coors is not listed as a brand under anheuser-busch.
Ahh Genesee I drank enough of that a long time ago
Just thinking, all those electrical conduits you used. they stay in the wall and are hollow, what happens if it rains a bunch? Isn't the water on the outside of the walls going to flow through those and leak to inside the walls?
On this job it is all sand and no water builds up anywhere. In other jobs like this we have a drain with lots of stone around it so if anything were wet inside it would leach out the holes from inside to outside and the drain carry it away Fromm the house Also the concrete floor is like 2 feet above the conduits.
I’m just here for the pup
Your dog totally though you were punking them about going to work. lol
That would be a stem wall system Bondo.
Normally the footing would be poured separately and block walls layed up on that.
Here in Florida most homes are traditional mono poured slabs.
Sometimes there is several feet of well compacted soil under the slab.
Being from up north originally i prefer a footer on solid soil and then several coarses of block.
But down here thats called a stem wall foundation.
From what i see you are doing the same thing, but using a different method.
Lots more labor involved with this method.
I think a block wall with foam insulation on both sides would be just as good.
No more Bear Piss for me either !!!!!
Earned a Sub from me on this one. Keep up the great videos!
Cute dog part French Poodle? I have a blue Healer/Lab mix! Her name is Boston. I also talk to her with a higher pitch voice! I ask her if she wants to go for a CarEee ride with daddy!
Love the Bud Lite boycott, everyone should WAKE up.
Nice work brother 👊👍 Yea that dude looks like a bud light drinker 😂😂😂😂
LOL I will tell him that.
Great video, but I would like to see more
up-close of the actual concrete pouring into the walls & forms from maybe a Go-pro camera hooked up on someone's hat.
If you didn't already have your footer form planks, would you consider using the Fast Foot system with a mono pour? I hope to build ICF in GA in a year or so. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
I think fast foot is a good idea but I do like the stability of the 2x10 lumber to hold everything solid during the pour and like you said I have a bunch of form lumber.
Only a fool will build with this System.
@@Blox_fruit_master1 Why do you say that?
@@Blox_fruit_master1only a fool would make a comment like that, without backing it up.
Miss Mattie
New York?? Never seen that type of work. We normally do monolithic slabs but sometimes we do rise foundations with block similar to this . We don’t get frozen winters tho so not insulated walls
We located in Mississippi
I imagine it gets pretty hot there from time to time. ICF works well for insulating against heat gain also.
You can always rasp the foam, with a level to get a nice Finnish when trawl after
Looks good as usual boss it’s going to be a good size house do ya have the pad and the piping as well and r ya going to video that to
Mr. Steal your girl 3000 😂😂😂
I like your kitchen cabinets and pine floor . Did you make cabinets yourself ?
Rotor looks like a OSHA officer sniffing around the jobsite!🤣😂🤣 Thanks for the conduit idea. Do you use any type adhesive waterproof membrane on the outside of the ICF over the conduit?
There will be dirt on both sides of this wall so nothing for water proofing.
six or eight inch wall? how long between pouring the footer and then coming back and pouring the wall and vibrating to consolidate the wall with the footer? so there is a slab inside of this? Great example. thanks!!!!
You didnt put any horizontal rebar in the wall or verticals from footing to wall?
I agree with the boycott. Unfortunately, LaBatt's is a Anheuser product. I'm still trying to figure out what I am switching to. It's been Anheuser for 38 years. Great Video as usual.
Thanks I had to switch to Genny and Genny Light.

@@ToddBizCoach unfortunately it's not available in Michigan. Have to drive to Indiana to get it.
nice work.....that first truck had to be loaded to the max. Don't that ready-mix company use their truck's peg leg wheels?
they are tearing up your roads!
By chance is the 2x4 on the bottom of the fox block a little over kill? I have used other block and did not support the bottom layer
The only downside to pouring the footings separate is the one added pump truck charge. The downsides to doing this mono pour; 2x12 instead of bag system, pipe for spreaders, 2x4 at the bottom, added bracing, very slow pour, more difficult to straighten, added clips, difficult to waterproof and so on.
boycotting bud light,,,,, just subscribed..
If you've already answered, this question, please point to the comment below I'm gonna try to read through all of them.
1. Do you think the bag footing would've been any cheaper labor wise overall, then putting in all the wood and then having to strip everything?
2. is all the woodJust thrown away afterwards for the most part
Reason for my question is, we should be starting my foundation in a couple of months for my new ICF home in the mountains in North Carolina. Thank you for talking about the Frost protection. It's some thing I was already planning on doing you're just reconfirming. Thank you so much.
No problem glad to help. I like the stability of the 2X 10 lumber for the mono-pour . We have form boards we use over and over. You can take framing lumber for other parts of your house and use it to do footers. Use the house wrap to keep lumber clean. then just frame with it. The bag footer would work good too if you were just pouring the footer not a mono pour.
Need to be a lot closer to actual concret going into iCFs
Sorry Ron...wrong video. Its the one where you were pouring a garage floor to mate up with a house that had foundation issues. The front foundation was just hanging their. I saw the block you put underneath it but was wondering if there was more to it.
So the wall has penetrations everywhere there was a support conduit?
👍
Super cool what a process u dont see this kind of foundation work in Kansas
Thanks. I used to hunt in Kansas every year for like 10 years.
@@bondobuilt386 u ever get a chance u should go mule deer hunting in western ks its insane
I would love to. I have never hunted Mule deer just whitetails. @@donnieporter7890
Question... Doesn't that conveyer drip concrete along the under side of that arm while the belt is returning back toward the truck??? Wondering if that could be afixed to a Mobile Mix Truck...
Nice work. What is the function of the house wrap around the footers?
Hi it is to keep the footer from sucking up moisture also easy cleanup of footer forms.
Just because you’ve “ never seen it before” doesn’t mean I haven’t done it -- and many others
I built my first ICF structure in 1974.
Even your dog won't drink Bud light.
Keep them in line rotor
I would have installed vertical rebar an extra 2’ tall then bend into the slab after backfilling the interior.
Not a good idea. The slab should be separated from the stem wall as it will expand and contract with heating it up with the radiant heat tubing.
Is it possible to use ICF blocks when building on the property line and there is existing house on the otherside of the lot? Basically there is not going to be space between the buildings. Do we need access to the outer side of the blocks to use ICF blocks?
Amazing job !! It was a big job !! You guys know what you are doing !! I’ve never seen the delivery system on that truck. I have always used a pumper. You have a great dog !! What kind of terrier is he. I love terriers.
I have a cross between a Jack Russel and a Fox terrier, rough coat. Great Dog !! Take Care, Dave
Rowan is a labradoodle. I used to have a Jack Russell named Hunter but he passed. He was a great little dog and I miss him. Rowan is a good little man too.
Yes, Rowan is a good dog. Sorry to hear about Hunter. They become a big part of your family.
Best wishes. Dave
@@ruhlworth Thanks Dave.
Is it structurally acceptable to not install vertical rebar in the walls or did I miss the part where you added it?
we had vertical rebar every 3' in this wall.
Love this idea but why not insulate the footer as well? It seems like it's just going to be a well sucking up ground temp into the foundation wall. Maybe it doesn't matter as much since this is just the frost wall and not a basement wall?
I'm in Alaska and I've never seen a footer insulated. The idea for a foundation like this is to keep the slab from moving due to temperature differences along the foundation wall between inside and outside. By code, only one side of a foundation wall is insulated normally.
Nice video but one big problem I wouldn't allow alcohol on my job site I have seen the problems it can cause.
There was no alcohol on this job.
Just a question from a rookie
Would their be any advantage or disadvantage of doing the footer first before the fox box were constructed
With j hooks and vertical rebar ?
We have done it both ways. Advantage is it takes less lumber to bud but disadvantage is you need to pay a pump twice. Both ways are overkill for a stem wall.
Boys. I hate to tell you this, but AB owns Blue Light. So you are essentially drinking Bud Light.
We're drinking Genny now. 👊
