WHY Are These DIFFERENT Heights? SETTING Sonotubes and Concrete For Extra Bent

welcome back to our dream in the woods uh just getting going this morning continuing some dirt work on preparation for the foundation for the barn housee here uh today the goal is to set some Sona tubes that is going to go on the North End that's going to support another bent um in the barn structure that will support a balcony and then actually support about uh 8T of continuous roof uh system that will be covered over the top of the the balcony and um all the garages and such so anyway we got to line that out and then dig those down set those Sona tubes and then get concrete this week uh get that poured so Eric's out here this morning little frustration with the backo uh we just had it at the mechanic and and it wasn't leaking oil before and we thought the an anifree leak was uh fixed but neither are proving true so uh that that goes seen a lot of hours and so it's kind of to the point where you're just going of have a babysit it so uh a little frustration there but uh Eric's busy this morning uh doing some grading work so show you what's going on so I'm going to line some strings out here to get the location of where we're going to set the Sona tubes and they're going on the North [Music] End uh 6 ft past the the current spot so uh they'll be oh right in this line here uh 6 ft out from the end of the the last bent um and then we have this water line that we put in so that's what those Stakes are uh when we dig that one in we'll know where the edge of the water line is so anyway get busy at laying those out and figuring out where they need to be and get to it [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] so we're trying to set this first on a tube actually underneath there is a piece of big foot that Eric had left over so uh the concrete will get to that and then we're just trying to figure out it's a six 6 in wide post by 8 and we're so we're trying to Center this son tube to accommodate that this is a mockup of the bracket and that's its orientation so um on an 8 18inch sonit tube there's plenty of brackets plenty of concrete around that so also trying to get everything above grade and so we don't know exactly where we're at here [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] oh [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] okay we got the second Sona tube Set uh it seems really high cuz it is this Mark here is grade and then we have about 30 in above that and so there's a reason behind that um once we get that deg grade instead of hitting the post with your car you're going to hit that big piece of concrete that's Eric's idea um The Far Side that's a different one we have about that's about 20 in above grade um that's going to be a different storage area so this Sona tube here will be the same height 30 in above grade um and then we have one more that goes right here and that'll be 20 in of upgrade so uh doing good all the measurements are working out trying to get these last two in so we can order concrete tomorrow [Music] oh [Music] oh [Music] oh [Music] [Music] well Sonic tubes are in look good so the two on this end are going to be 20 in above grade um that'll keep them plenty out of the snow and muck uh I do plan on putting a little um oh open storage room I think that the air conditioner heat pump or whatever goes out here we'll go on a slab here and then I'll pour it out and then just kind of make some semi- dry storage in here um in the plan I have a mandor that's coming in right here so be able to maneuver around there and then these are way up in the air these are uh 30 in above grade um and we decided to do that so [Music] the so when you're backing in you don't hit the post and the structure you hit concrete but um still plenty of room between those so there'll be a 9 foot door in this section here and then a 12T door on this section so starting to Envision it those sonit tubes those concrete peers are going to be a bit of an ice or until we're finished because they just look a little out of place compared to the rest of the structure but there's a method to the madness Okay so next that's about 2 days later um here can I finish setting all these uh Sona tubes uh so these two here uh are 20 in above grade and these funny looking ones are going to be 30 in above grade um reason why we're doing that is people be coming in and out of here to the garages and and we'd rather have them hit concrete than hit one of the wooden posts so they're going to look a little funky until the structure's up and closed in and then we'll maybe paint them paint the concrete SAA tubes so anyway uh concrete truck disc called said he's going to be 30 minutes early and we are ready for him U my Dad was supposed to come by so he hopefully will make it and we got four pieces rebar per hole and they're we just kept them all at 6t in depth uh this bottom one over here has a kind of a s a smaller big foot at the bottom um cuz this is the furthest down that we dug uh most fill in this corner so anyway ready for concrete be nice to have this poured and good to go [Music] [Music] oh yeah that looks good yeah that looks good all the way to the top yeah [Applause] s [Music] well I can I can bucket that to the top I think that's all right [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] look [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] that'll work huh uh sure and I'll get turned around and pointed out that do that last one yeah that'll work out good [Music] [Applause] good splashy huh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] happens fast huh [Music] good news is we're going to have enough thank you uh I might put just a little bit in my wheelbarrow just in case I need some finishing not too much because I don't think my tire is very good you want from here little yeah that that that's funny oh [Music] [Music] that ought to be good uh I have a hose if you want to spray off over there water would you like um it doesn't matter we're all it's all construction zone so everything's going to be scraped again and all that stuff oh going out by that dirt P behind the okay sounds good thank thank you appreciate it you guys have a good day yes you do appreciate it [Applause] [Applause] this is where kicky Eric is missed oh yeah he's like very particular yeah he's very particular and good it's me that looks pretty good yeah yeah the concrete pourer went good hopefully those look nice and level these two down here yeah everything looks good I expect can a little bit of settling on these SAA tubes but yeah look good look good to me now so good project complete that's a good thing to check off my list getting those uh last four peers in for that extra bent that's going to hold up the covered deck off the primary bedroom and then extend the roof line out uh 8 ft from the edge of the structure so uh that was an add-on uh they're going to going to look a little funny just because they are um so high up off the ground uh now but when they get the final grade uh the taller ones will be 30 in and the shorter ones will be 20 in so anyway uh getting things done um next on the list here is prepare for the Plumbers I told them they could start uh putting the ground stuff in in about 5 days so we have uh that amount of days to get ready for um to have it to grade and then to put all of the boards in for the concrete so any we got lots to do uh we'll get back to it and hope you guys have a great day and we'll catch you with the next video [Music]
