Footings and Foundations with Snap Tie Forms for Building your Cabin or Home
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 07. 2017
- We pour a lot of footing and foundations every year when we are not moving dirt or framing houses and cabins. I always get questions on what and how, so here is a look at what we do and how we do it.
This snap tie system is very simple and easy to use and all the lumber can be reused in other parts of the building of your home.

WOW!! That was way to cool!!! Thank You for your time!!
Very nice! This fills a gap in my knowledge about log home building. And your videos get better and better!
Ann Ham Thanks Ann, we are glad you you learned something!
Wow make me long for the days I was young and building houses, but now at 54 I have been working at a slow pace as a Maintenance Mechanic.
That concrete pump is the bomb, and the project looks awesome! Good job, everyone!!
Hope to see more of the building process! Enjoyed your Vid. ☺
this was so cool to watch! you made it look easy but I am sure it was a ton of work!

Work produces good stuff
Excuses just ppl head aches
It is good seeing ppl on here that know what the heck they are doing!!!
Easy if you know a little
I could watch that for hours. Nice work. Show the rest of the construction if you have the chance. I look forward to you doing your own place!
Mark Winblad we will try to keep you apprised of this work project and our own building projects on the homestead. Thanks for your support!
Really good video thank you for your efforts
Looks amazing. It's so clean.
playgrrrr That means a lot, thanks!
Looks like a very high quality final result, really like it
Nice bit of shuttering guys. Great job on the concrete finish too!
Hehe, nice cut at 2:24 just before he fell! Lol! Awesome to watch and learn a bit, thanks!
THAT WAS A REAL NICE JOB.
hurray re getting good plans!
Looks great!
Nice Work. Its always good to watch nice concrete work.
love the videos keep up the good work.
Must waterproof the foundation. If it were my house I would demand it. I'm surprised it's not a code issue. Great job. Vinny 🇺🇸
The same for me different codes or
nicely done. GOOD JOB!
We run foundation drains along footers, here in Kentucky, due to the amount of rain we can get.
Nice work, thanks for sharing
Nicely done. Good work.
Nice work and kudos for a clean worksite..!
Awesome job guys........job well done
Great video, excellent workmanship.
Nice work Guys !!
Awesome job
It's been a long time since I've done this type of formwork!
Nice pour gentleman!
for me it's so pleasant when i take the forms out and see a sharp corner, it's like my whole work was worth it. Great video man, and what nice corner you've got huh?!
Looks good 👍 I also do foundation from residential to commercial
Looks good
Good job my friend 😊
Looks good bro!
Brian Curwick Thank you Brian
great video
Nice job I use this system everyday, what are those straps called that are on the footing that the 3/4 forms sit on I want those for the tops, we use 2x4 on the footing 3/4 back and put 2" nails to hold bottom
Great vid.... get that guy a square point shovel...ehehe In Calif we typically have to preset the rebar for block walls and snap-tie walls too...
Very nice
I was wondering why you didn't use a vibrator and then we got to the end with the forms off. Great job. Inspiring.
why they didn't use a vibrator and why there seems to be a lack of gravel in the footings. I think they are dam lucky not to have inspectors.
Very good work
Thank you
Judy Proctor
Thank you for watching
Nice work. Keep up the good work.
Greg Ziegelbauer thanks Greg
wow! cool thumbnail!
What size of stone is used in that concrete?
How do you prevent it from cracking?
No control joints?
How many days til you remove the forms?
Do you keep the wall wet to cure?
You look amazingly like my older brother. By the way that is one heck of a lot of concrete and some of the video shots of it being poured were outstanding. 9:54
That concrete looks really nice, sharp and clean; its going to last damn near forever...
Good job
Great work. What's the spacer you use on the footing to space the wall?
I'm surprised there was no horizontal rebar in wall forms. Nice job.
Nice 👍👍
Please make a video for those of us who havent assembled a snap tie formwork. Done quite a few foundations w 2x10 just havent done the snap tie method. Last job with rat slab and wine cellar was 140 yds. - a lot of forms.... Do snap tie do well with an unlevel terrain? Few jobsites are ideal. Thx.
Do you waterproof the outside of the foundation before backfill?
Terry Maynard Yes, we always damp proof the out side of the walls
What products do you use? Is a cloth membrane with rubberized coating good enough to do the job?
Josh: Your engineer likes beefy footings even more than me.
What about using the insulation forms? Not on this project b/c there isn't a basement but when there is one and in your part of the country where winters are WINTERS. Just asking b/c I'd like at least a half basement under my home for all the mechanical equipment etc.
Love this video. Are you good with the one whaler horizontal on your forms? Im going to do some forms soon and I was thinking of doing a snap tie with verticals and horizontal whaler.
Done with the footings and the walls
So, you are a log home contractor during the day and at night you are building you own homestead in the desert of Idaho. I think I'm finally getting the picture of you youtube channel.
What does something like what you just did cement and all the forming cost at that point when you where All done with
ROCK ON !!!!
don't they use concrete vibrators ? some years ago I was overwatching concrete work and one of the workers inserted a big needle like thing in the wet concrete and it kinda looked as if somebody pulled the plug out of the bathtub...
a concrete pump sure beats wheelbarrows and shovels ;-)
Well done, where have you done it?
When do you need to use vibration?
I wish to know kore or less how much did it cost them to build the foundation.
How do you remove the forms if the hurricane strap is screwed to the form from the inside?
the screws have no shear strength, therefore very easy to snap off.
Looks like a very well done foundation. Awesome finish quality. Do you do the ICF foundations as well? They look to be better insulating and you don't have to remove the forms. Still, great job. Scooping concrete and filming at the same time? You're so talented it is almost sickening. LOL
Josh: Are you forced back to the 20x60 pole barn. If so I will proceed onto a 3360 sq. ft home. With a U of 3- 40' HC containers open to the south. Containing: 6 Kids bed rooms, 2- baths, Back entrance/mud room, pantry, front entrance, small office. 40x40 Main center area: Kitchen , Dinning, Great room ( 2-seating zones, main stair and lodge fireplace ). 2 nd. floor 20 x 40 : Master bedroom, Spa/dressing room, 1/2 bath, Mom's/guest room ( pull down wall bed). The 40x40 central core will be all exposed timber frame. In the front to the south a 12x40 Deck with arbor over for summer shade or a screened Porch if insect protection is more important. All in my head now; time to open a new drawing file. Bert
Is this the foundation for yr house or the Tent?
why didn't you install bent rebar verticals before pouring the footer?
What is the benefit of running a screed board on a wall? As opposed to just floating it?
The rebar does not conflict with layout. Unless its requested, i dont see a reason to drill instead of wet settingthe rebar. If you think it conflict with layout just add extra. I have never seen anyone do this unless they forgot about the rebar or if they just missed a few.
Next time you do a hurricane strap, screw a 1x3 to the outside of the wall, add a small block above the wall attached to the 1x3, and then screw the strap to THAT which is now above the wall and the screws won't be in the concrete for removal later on. Much cleaner and easier.
That's a great tip! Thanks for sharing.
You pushed backfill right up against the concrete foundation without drainage tile?
Never heard him say that.

I used simplax forms with snap ties
What high can you go with that form system?
No strapping/banding on that footing?
Hi good job but I have one question, you’re not scared the form is gonna lead to one side?
Given the title I thought we'd see how the form ties work. You showed the bottom ties, but not the inner ties on the forms. I tried building my own forms once and I did it off a book I bought. Well the wire they told me to use didn't hold the forms in place and boy did I have a mess. I went out and bought the largest size wire I could find and that worked pretty good.
Haha, sorry about that! I guess I got too carried away with the bottom ties and forgot about the inner ones. Building forms can be a real challenge, but it sounds like you found a creative solution with the largest size wire. Way to think outside the box!
Why you do not use any waterproofing on your foundation walls? Before you backfill and push dirt on to the the foundation?
How tall of a wall can you go with a single Whaler system and when do you switch to a double whaler?
That depends on how wide you are going. (6"8"10")10 foot tall is our cutoff, we double up when we get some where around 8'-10' tall
Was this in Idaho I do concrete as well. The only reason I ask is because Brundage Bone pumping is out of twin falls idaho. Your walls great by the way wish the guys I work with would understand slow and steady wins the race not fast and sloppy makes rework and work smarter not harder
Brundage bone is all over the place we have used them from Las Vegas to Montana
Round point shovels are for digging not pouring concrete.After over 30 years of pouring foundations, first time I've seen someone use a screed board, drilling dowels isn't structurally sound as placing a bent dowel.and would never be allowed on commercial or a good engineered fdt.
No concrete viberator to avoid air bubbles in the walls?
Keep It Real We use a 6 bag mix to keep the concrete creamy and flowable. Using a vibrator on a snap tie system would be way to much especially on a 4' tall wall. We also tap the walls with hammers around any areas that may need a little help.
the qty of cement doesnt make it creamy and flowable.... did you add extra water to get it creamy... did you go past a 4" slump... im betting you did so your water cement ratio isnt what it should be. so for your 2500psi mix your probably closer to a 2000psi mix. im not sure what psi was engineered for those footings and walls but thats hopefully still within spec.
the huckster we had it mixed at the batch plant at a 6 inch slump because we know running it through a concrete pump we're going to lose about 1 inch of slump and instead of pouring a five bag mix we pour a six bag mix adding more concrete powder for greater strength and it seems to make it creamier and easier to work. The concrete that you're seeing is coming out of the pump at around a 5 inch slump. No water was added and our psi is miles above minimum standards
I pour and vibrate walls up to 22' it's done every day with snap ties, Johnny walls, flat shoe, aluminium dont matter. It's always good to vibrate or use a self consolidating mix. Good work
how did you fill the snap tie holes? did you remove the metal rod going thru or just left it in place?
Inside rod part stays in. Outside part snaps off with hammer..some guys fill the outside divet. But with waterproofing its usually not a concern.
@@cruisinthru3916 snap ties are snaped off with a piece of pipe about 12 inches long
@@woodyahh2110 Ive straightened J bolts with a pipe...but i just hit ties with a hammer and they snap easy.
crok what ever as long as your having fun
I notice a lot of concrete pours in the USA it's very rare that I see people use a concrete poker!! here in the uk I wouldn't do a pour without one
Is that pump truck brundage bone? I k ow your from my kneck of the woods just can't figure out where? Idaho or Utah? Id love to come up n work with you! You sir are a bad ass!
We are in northern Idaho, like Canada north! stop by anytime and bring your tool bags!
So glad I own a set of aluminum forms. Lol.
What dose a set of aluminum forms cost?
Was the inside getting a slab? Not nearly enough foundation vents for a crawlspace?
Yes its a craw space
I never understood how you can lay it out after pouring but not before
Kia Ora from Auckland, New Zealand…
A concrete pump in Melbourne Australia recently exploded , injuring an employee. I wonder how safe they are.
Engineer that does my plans won't allow "wet sticking" rebar into the footing. He says they are useless. We have to bend then 90 degrees and wire tie them to the bar in the footing. Lacking that, epoxy is OK.
What formula can i use to calculate the amount of concrete required for such foundation? length * breadth * height * thickness?
Ntiyiso Rikhotso Concrete is measured in cubic yards Or 3'x 3'x 3'= 27 cubic feet so just like you said we are looking for volume. When I'm looking a volume of concrete I go length x height x width in inches and then convert inches to cubic feet and then to cubic yards.
Thank you very much!
Is it possible to ask the building construction company to build the foundation of my house using stem wall instead of using bricks(South Africa)? I'm just asking so that whatever engineering language they are using doesn't confuse me. I think stregth of a stem wall is better than the one for bricks
great video I'm just here for the comments I like to see all the wannabe engineers give their 2 cents
It is not a high rise at the end, but Even Sika calls their epoxy "AnchorFix" to fix rebar and concrete mistakes not as alternative to place the rebar correctly from at first place
is that 1" plywood?
3/4 inch
Why not use pre made form work?
Why you need to vacume when drilling at open jobsite
I thought you were going to talk about the snap tie forms in detail .
Cool video, I know that it is 1 week old, but I just watched the end of it today. I am sure that you are violating at least 1 rule on that job, concrete crews HAS to be at least 90 % Spanish speaking, and I heard NO Spanish spoken in your video. LOL Have a nice day
Que pasa guey! Chale niero! Hey boludo, peloton!
There, are you happy now?
What was the height of that basement? Looked very short! Anyways, nice video, its too bad older generations never had this kind of technology to record and post somewhere for people to watch at home!
This is a crawl space, we back filled around the footing after we striped the forums
Is that going to be a basement to your cabin
