Hi Mr. Haduck these videos might not get a million views but for a guy like me with a full plate of worn out house foundation it's giving me confidence to fix up my place. It's a blessing from our Father the information you are sharing and may he bless you 100 fold you are the clearest to understand and most helpful man to listen to when it comes to cement work. Thank you so much I'm very grateful for your willingness to teach us and help us understand. I wanted to comment on your newest video, that you might see the comment. I have been watching the 20 plus foundation repair videos psychics myself up to make my life and my family's home better. Bless you so much

I would think that the air is salty down there and the rebar was already rusty looking. Do you think that the buildings are not meant to be up for more then 20 years or so? Won’t it still rust apart and then blow down?

Hi Joe, they keep upping the codes, against the ocean I think they rust faster, thanks Mike

Maybe I am being naive but putting wooden forms up and rebar to make lintels seems like a lot of work when you can just buy them to order. You also need the balance of a cat to stand on a wall like that with a concrete pouring hose. Interesting stuff though Mike.

How much more would it add to the cost of construction to require galvanized, epoxy coated or stainless rebar especially in high moisture, saline conditions. My best guess is that much of the thinking is based on two points: that the rebar is hidden so it's out of sight, and that rebuilding is more profitable for industry than repairs and maintenance
