JL Sargent Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 It's an M&M. Massive and Modern. You mentioned Radon system? Is that a requirement? So I see guys pumping/finishing a floor. Is that the main floor of the house? I guess that's a full basement underneath? EDIT: just went back over the pictures. You have concrete walls extending 8' below grade and back filled with gravel to support the main level (concrete)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concrete floor in that photo is the crawlspace. Here are the first joists for the main floor: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I bet you are well past 100 yards of concrete on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just don't pour and finish concrete for a crawl space in this neck of the woods! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 You would probably enjoy construction here. We only had to have 1 inspection and 1 requirement. That was a septic inspection. They didn't even come out to our construction site for that and signed it off at their office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point (phase 1), we are over 300 yards. Our wall pour was 210 yards in one day. Footings were another 110. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Interesting. My driveway is 347 yards and it took 5 days. We wanted 100 yds a day and they couldn't seem to deliver it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wanted 100 yds a day and they couldn't seem to deliver it. By closing part of the road, we set up a pump with a hopper that could handle two trucks at the same time, with a 3rd one always waiting. From that pump, an almost 500' hose ran up the hill to another boom pump for distribution. 210 yards took only 7 hours to place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my favorite cellar from all the ones I've done in the last 25 years. This one utilizes previously "dead" space that we found under the porch of a 1908 home, after we cut a hole through the foundation. Being close to 180' long, more than half of the cellar is behind where I took this picture. The floor was made from bricks that were part of a chimney we tore down at the site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 Here's that house. The wine cellar runs under the front porch, turn south and runs under the back porch too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
