    On this floor the joist span is short so blocking in-between isn't needed. For the plumbing it was all put in once the house was up and dried in, so under the floor is all the water lines and drain pipes

    With the climate so dry here waterproofing isn't really needed, and we installed gutters to keep the little moisture we do get away from the foundation.

    How are you attaching those wood support beams to the concrete pillars underneath? And how do you know how many you need to support the floor/house?

  • @slothconstruction
    @slothconstruction3 ай бұрын

    Hey good question! The support beams are not attached to the concrete at all, only to the wood girders. The supports are held in place by friction, and the weight of the house, once the house is complete the supports are locked solid in place. To know how many supports to use, it was shown on my foundation plans. I let the engineers calculate that part.

    Your lucky you didn't have more blow outs not enough 2×4's and using USB like that. I love using USB plywood. Cheap and I think the finish of the foundation comes out beautiful. Spraying a little Diesel inside the forms helps that. In 30 year's doing it like that never gave me a problem or any blow outs at all. When poring the cement I give little tap's on the form's and the face of it bringing the cream out gives it a smooth look and the color stay's consistent throughout the entire wall. Good job it looks good clean to me.👍

  • @slothconstruction
    @slothconstruction4 ай бұрын

    Thank you. I wish I could put your comment in the video, you have some great tips. If I did it again I would use much more 2x4's for support, i got lucky and didn't have many problems. It was a really nice finish when the osb came off and a little diesel on the forms would have been good, I agree. Thanks!
