- A concrete block foundation can be a good option for building an addition. it is a cost effective way to do a crawl space foundation. One of the most important aspects of making a block foundation last is proper backfill and drainage. We backfilled this one with stone up against the wall and the soil behind that. The walls are parged with Comproco a fiberglass reinforced block bond. This adds strength and also water proofs the walls.
I appreciate the facts that you told that guy to reposition himself on the top of that truck and also told the truck driver to stay off the neighbor's yard.
Yes thanks for noticing that bud.
Awesome video!!. These guys' work looks super neat and professional, small crew and excellent results ....true professional 🔥💯👌🏽
Thank you so much.
Beautiful job, love the attention to the details 👍
thank you
BIG BISCUIT IS THE MAN !!! YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF HIS WORK ETHICS ! BRUTE STRENGTH💪
Excelente work Bondo. This build method is very common in Brazil, fast and efficient! Congrats friend!
Thank you. I think it is a good system. 👊
Great Job. Thank you for sharing. 🙌
thank you
Nice work Bondo. Always nice to see skilled workers show off their skills.
Lots of people worried about drainage. You actually reduced the runoff onto the neighbor’s yard by running the gutters into the drain system, that would have ran onto the neighbor’s before. I don’t get why people don’t see that.
Stay safe!
Thanks Rick at least you seen that. LOL
Agreed 👍. Being on the lake. And with great property pitch on both properties...It's a great opportunity to do drainage around the addition perimeter and all runoff can be taken to the lake .. Return the water from nature to nature in this case ... I would have added interior footer weeping lines and connect to outter drainage lines draining to the lake ..If it's crawl space... Didn't you have to install vapor barrier under concrete? Or vents in block walls
Good job. Thanks for sharing and have a great day.
thanks bud.
What a beautiful job
Beautiful work team. If yall were in SC I'd hire ya in a heart beat.
Building additions and houses in the philly area for over 30 years...Next time you're setting up block for laying; have a few guys going from the block to each spot. Swing each block to the next guy...Saves your back...Laborers, ran well, save a lot of wear and tear...You guys are lucky...Here, we need 12 Inch Semi solid up to grade...Also, when parging in the outside, run mud on the footer with a pitch so you don't get wash out between the footer and the block...before you seal coat it... The block guys were good mechanics....
Good tips thank you. We did run a bevel on the bottom like you say with the parge coat. Just the width of a margin trowel.
You're videos are always interesting! You guys make a great crew. Nobody is lazy, all great workers! When you're done go jump in the lake to cool off.
Thanks Scott I appreciate that a lot. 😊
I can’t believe he grabbed them power wires like that
That wasn't power. That was Cable TV and fiber optics. Power is the top wire. Middle is telephone. We used to call Ma Belle. And bottom is cable tv and fiber optics.
@@chrislangdell117 well no offense but not everyone knows that like myself. I still wouldn’t dare touch them. I’ve seen some gruesome vids. Lol
Nice job!😎👌👍
Not a cement/concrete guy but shouldn't you fill all the cores or just the ones with rebar?
That was fast and neat. Came out great
thanks
Recent subscriber, grew up north of Utica. Brought back memories seeing your guys working in early summer with their shirts off until they were red as lobsters. Moved south in 1988 and have lived in North Carolina mostly since (with an 8 year trek to the desert and then west coast before returning to NC.) Enjoy the videos.
thanks for watching and subscribing. glad you enjoy
Great job !!!
Thanks
Beautiful work.
Thanks
Great job, nice video. Knowing what not to do makes for excellence. Any need for a floor drain in that crawl space?
Awesome job
Like seeing the lake when you have jobs there. Grew up near the lake in Northern Niagara County, been in KS since 90s.
It is nice working on the lake. Tight space usually though.
Nice work!!
thanks
Looks good as always ya got a good crew they r hard working guys
thanks Gary
Nice view, along the sea...great job
Thanks. This is Oneida Lake in New York State.
Looks great!
thanks John
Nice work good clean job all round 👍 👍
thanks Tim
These workers never heard that rock dust is bad for lungs? Crystalline silica people.
Came out nice!!
thanks Robbie
Turned out nice 👍
thanks
I always used B-bond to parg the block because it added strength and is more water proof the just mortar.
Y'all make it look too easy - I'm over here on my couch thinking that I can do this too!
Good job Bud.
thanks uncle Jim.
Turned out nice guys!
Thanks Frank
Nice work - surprised the basement wasn’t deeper - hard to tell head height. Nice drainage destination in the back yard. I would have suggested a property line retaining wall for future!
I think they mentioned that it's a crawl space, not a full basement. Probably just need enough headroom for plumbing, electrical, and HVAC runs to the new addition.
@@PongoXBongo makes sense, thx!
No need. Plenty of pitch on both properties going towards the lake. The neighbor could always do french drain lines between properties going towards the lake
If they are using 12" nominal CMU then the depth is 6 foot before the floor, so about 5' 7" finished.
@@RH-cv1rgI’m sure there’s a reason, but personally I’d think another foot would make it much easier to work in - especially for anyone over that height.
Good quality work! I know you use ICFs often, how come you used blocks this time? Cost? What’s the approximate cost difference on this job if you would have used ICFs?
Yes it cost about 40 to 50 percent less to do blocks.
✨👍. Great job. Do you do all of NYS? I'm in Upstate NY near Buffalo... Getting ready to sell ... Moving South...But I would love to refer you to anyone looking to buy my house...Thanks for the simple explanation of what you're doing... Would be great to have a picture of finished addition ✨🤗
Very beautiful work… But I don’t see waterproofing… That’s how you guys doing in NY?
You run a tight ship, great job!
Another good job Bondo
Thanks
So cool thanks
Thank you for the excellent video! Could you share the manufacturer of that dark foam insulation?
Have you ever had ants burrow through the foam board? A number of years ago I left a scrap piece of 2" Dupont "blue board" polystyrene on the ground (sandy soil) for several months and when I turned it over I found that the ants had tunneled their way all through it. Cheers!
Great job
Thanks Brian.
Why no waterproofing the wall??
Why no insulation
No worries about vacuum thrust for rebar in fondation ? And also there is no vertical rebar in the fondation ??
......ein beneidenswert schönes Fleckchen Erde..............
How can it be that the home owner in this case when the existing house was built on a full basement (window) and visible above ground level. don't you then choose during the extension to (for almost no increased cost) dig a little deeper and let you build a 14 block high foundation wall so that you can get (double area) with 9' interior ceiling height in the basement level? Hard to understand that one misses that opportunity for only slightly more expensive (work and more concrete hollow blocks) for double area in the finished extension?
Agreed 👍. It would definitely improve the property values and increase usable square footage...Looks like it could have been a walkout addition.
Money. Money is the answer.
Of course it’d be better if it were deeper / walk out. But I’m guessing the owner didn’t have the money.
Could have been only “a few bucks more” but for most people a budget exists for a reason …. Not to be exceeded
@@MrRoberoni117or the owner had no idea it was smarter or even practical to do it that way and the contractor never gave them that possibility. I had this happen 10 years back and when people asked why I didn’t just do “X” and I asked my contractor why we didn’t do that and he told me “because you never asked”. 🙄
The existing is not a full basement. You can see at 4:08 they are pouring the extension footing at the exact same height as the existing footing.
all that work and time and drainage for what? A crawl space. Silly. Dig a few feet deeper and a full basement with walkout to the lake. Wow. Big gain in property value. Feels like paying a massage therapist for a hand job when a few dollars more gets you full body. 😂
You skipped the entire excavation!? That's the best part.
Bondo, what area do you guy's work out of? I'd like to build an accessory building in the western Ma/Albany NY area.
I'm just across the Lake O from here. Couple of things I noticed are different.
Have you got 4 foot frost cover from finished grade to underside of footings? You parged, but no damp proofing (tar)? Was that an oversight? I've noticed in several videos done around north eastern US that you pin your block to the footings and fill cores with concrete. I've even seen bloc-loc (wire reinforcement) every three courses. The wall is restrained at the bottom by the slab and at the top with the floor structure. Is this a code thing for you?
He also doesn’t have any vertical rebar in the block so technically the only thing holding the block wall to the footing is the mortar that the block was set in😮
You're burning the biscuit
He is doing it I know.
Nice view
@@beingabdaal950 yes it was 😊
@@bondobuilt386 *_ Geez, why are so many Americans SO FAT.... Holy Sh!t? _*
Most of the time when I look that red it's not actually sunburn I turn red when I'm hot we use lots of sunblock through the summer.
Big biscuit
How is it you are lucky enough to get so many Lake front jobs? LOL Beautiful views, but usually very tight circumstances, and property lines fiercely protected. They literally fight over inches, instead of feet. Very nice work, especially in such a tight job site. I can see a neighborhood war coming about water runoff, after the first good rain, lol 🤦♂️😳😂😉
Thanks The neighbors were cool and we talked about the water and there is a nice ditch between the houses that drains to the lake. Also we made sure to have drains to catch the gutters.
@@bondobuilt386 I figured you would have all your ducks in a row, your attention to detail is obvious, it sounds like you were a bit lucky on this one, I’ve done more than a few lakefront jobs, and neighbors can be very trying, just glad at this point to be an armchair quarterback, my mason days are far behind me now. 👍👌😉
Looks good. Is that in Bridgeport by chance?
Just past Bridgeport in Lakeport.
121👍's up B B thank you for sharing
Thanks Scott
Those ties to existing building look concerning 15mins into video.. Block structure is on a different foundation to the house foundation so if there is movement over the years = cracking. Movement joint ties do you have them in the States ?
Where was the plasta that was one the walls earlier ...😮😮...did you removed if before you cast the floor??
Belts would make a good company gift…😅
I think we need suspenders. LOL
Dam, nice job. How much this cost to do??
Curious, what are doing as a floor for this project? Looking at the “same type” of build but would like to pour a concrete floor. Better off backfill completely? Thanks
They are doing 2x10 floor joist and then plywood then hardwood floors.
Now thats a nice pool!
LOL
Great show. What I don't get is, the two big boys are working so hard, how the hell are they not slim? They should be losing 20 lbs per day doing this the way they move.
Because of their wife’s 😂
Next time you need to put stone inside a wall, just get it put on a mixer and shoot it out in there. You only need a little water just to get the stones wet, works really good.
Ya I know you can do it that way but hard to get a concrete truck to deliver the stone and twice the cost. We had to get it done fast and it only took us about 1-1/2 hours to do all that stone.
Using a slinger truck ...No big deal. That's what track hoe was for
That Sea Biscuit sure is a hard worker 💪👍
We have a couple 10cu ft brentwoods. Amazing.
The Brentwoods are awesome
What good is drilling rebar into the foundation or placing the rebar in the cells after the wall is poured? All you had to do was layout the center line of the wall and measure the cell locations and L shaped rebar. The vertical bonds are no good with no connection to rebar in footing. Plus, backfilling on freshly laid block wall?
This is code compliant we do not need hook downs in our footings in this part of the country. We backfilled with stone against the wall. basically no pressure on the wall. also only a short wall. a full basement we would wait for the wood cap to be framed and wall to cur longer.
What part of Oneida Lake is this on, Northside?
Another nice job. The Governor
Thanks
I know that's hard work. I moved a stack of those blocks. I died,
Not for big biscuit it's not
@@karleck1119 Exactly. LOL
12" blocks are the heavy ones. LOL
We called 12's suitcases. I guess you don't need cap block or you would have used them?
Nice
You say there's rebar holding the wall to the footing but earlier in the video you show yourself pouring that footing and there was no vertical rebar protruding from it.
good crew, good reliable work. one friendly suggestion is get the guys a cool comfortable uniform. its a sloppy look having them in street clothes or taking thier shirts off -- makes you look bad when clearly the result is anything but that. make that small change that will take your jobs from good to great.
Thanks for the tip. I have t shirts and hoodies for the guys already. My son is heavy and never wants to wear the shirt and prefers shorts. It is a battle with him on that subject. LOL
Ok grandad...
Because the grade of that property is now higher and there's no drainage ditch on the property line... won't rain runoff flood the neighbors property?
Need to fill all the blocks with concrete, no?
You do damn nice work Bondo. Have a spotted cow on me!
He needs to come to WI for that
Thanks Joe.
how do you deal with when setting up a wall, with in the total length you only need to make up less than 1/2 a block ,say 1-2", you need to make up vs cut a piece of block. to complete a course , Do you make the motar on the ends of the blocks a bit thicker to make up the couple inch amount over the course
You can put a small piece in or use an 18" block in place of a 16" one
@@bondobuilt386 thx
Totally confused here , concrete floor in a crawl space ? Why not just dig slightly deeper and have a full basement ? No extra cost except block and labor , unbelievable waste of opportunity.
I can think of a couple of reasons,
1/ when you excavate deeper than the existing footing of the existing House this requires under - pinning to this existing footing ,
2/ when you excavate deeper than the existing footing , this will cause the new weeping tile pipe to be lower than the existing weeping around the present building, which may require a sump pump to be installed, which leads to questions of where this water is allowed to be discharged , [ probally not into the lake]
3/ Excavating down to this lower elevation may then be at a lower elevation than the high level mark of the near-by lake,
So all this talk about a "few Dollars more " might soon be Big Big Dollars,
Just a few things to think about,
This shows the differnce between Commercial Projects and what happens on Residental Projects
😀😀
you don't put tar or water barrier on the outside of block wall? different climate zone.
This Parge coat does not need tar. It is water resistant. Plain mortar would require tar.
here in Seattle everythngs gotta wear rubber boots
@@tandemcompound2 gotcha 👍👍
Even concrete foundations have waterproofing applied prior to back fill
Gud dzhob, pipl!
what lake is this? You mentioned upstate NY but I couldn't understand you when you pronounced the name of the lake.
Oneida Lake.
Guys with "No shirt 👕 no shoes no service " 😂
Were screwed then. LOL
Why not just put the foam board on the outside of the block walls?
You could do that ...I would have put dimple board up after rolling liquid rubber on the walls ...I'm wondering why vapor barrier wasn't put down before slab was poured since it's a crawl space
Is tar no longer used on exterior foundation underground?
The parge coat we use now does not need tar coating. The old mortar parge did.
Why do you pour a floor for a crawl space?
That' was really square going upward on the foundation.
Damn, biscuit is well-done. Get that guy some sunscreen!
Bonjour, dommage la fin de la vidéo montre que vous ne remplissez pas les bloc creux de béton. Pourtant c'était du bon travail, sauf qu'il manque cette étape pour réellement solidifié le mur. Dans le temps un mur creux s'affaisse ou se brise avec les mouvements de terrain ainsi que le poids qui lui vient contre.
easy diggin...must be on the south shore
侧边无草干燥方形坑深度和长宽.不适合做地基基础泥地就必须停.另选另外处地面.换土填充夯实.起巩固作用.
Just a thought. You sloped the dirt towards the neighbor's lawn next to the garage. Do not be surprised when those lovely neighbors complain that the runoff of rain floods their yard. Also shouldn't you run the filter fabric up along the wall and over the stone along the wall, cover the fabric on top of the stone then put dirt against the fabric? Without the fabric on top that dirt will eventually end up mixed with the stone and clogging it up defeating the function of the stone.
the stone down low has the cloth over it to keep dirt out of the stone. The neibors were involved in how we pitched the grade. There is a nice channel between both the houses.
It already sloped that way. They didn't change the flow of water through the property.
The foam board will keep everything from mixing...Plus all stone will drain better..and being on the sides it won't be affected by runoff ..They're is plenty of options for drainage since the lake is right there. If you're going to have a house near the water...Then you should be prepared to do proper drainage around your property
really not recommended to drop the gutter water into the foundation drain pipe, only asking for inevitable problems in the future.
I agree.
Do they call footings footers up there? I mean, I know a footer is a part of a document and a footing is a part of a foundation, but maybe it’s different north of the Mason-Dixon Line.
Footings are structural supports that are used in addition to a foundation. They help transfer the load's weight from the foundation into the soil. Footers are typically in direct contact with the ground, while the foundation is in contact with the footing.
Why is the rebar on the dirt needs gravel also
what were the 2 concrete pads for - just curious.
I was wondering the same thing...
My guess ~ they're used as a foundation to build up structural support for the center of the addition. Without them...there wouldn't be any support in the center.
Kinda' like a seemingly "random" wall/pillar in the middle of some homes. They're there to build up off of or to distribute some of the weight from up top.
Just a guess, though. I could be completely off. Lol.
It looks like they’re pads for posts to hold a beam across the foundation, upon which will lay 10’ rafters in each direction front and back.
You work as close to me as Oneida lake?!?!?! Where are you located and are you taking new jobs? How can I contact you? We can't get anybody to even return a call and we're running out of time! We're south east of oneida lake.
you guys do nice work but why put roof water down on your footer gutter debris will eventually cause a problem just run another run of solid pipe above
We usually run 2 pipes but that is how they engineered it.
im from oz ( australia :D ) had to laugh as it seems that you guys over there have a different idea on power lines.. as teh dude was moving the Lines (likely telegraph lines) outta the way with his hands...

how far down do you have to go for frost? you must be in the states?
Yes New York State and we have a 48" frost line

I do not know as we do not build in Canada but I am sure it varies to the area. further north you go it will be deeper. @@redsresearch

Why is it you guys do alot of block walls instead of forms ?
I hate laying block on footings like that. They get in the way. Beautiful scenery.
