Install a New Concrete Foundation - Cribbing - LIVE Stream 12-21-2021 Ask the Builder

Hi, how you doing

Tim Carter, thanks for being here today. We have got lots in store

And I'm really, really happy today. So just, let's see, four or five

So five hours ago, just about my favorite time of year happened

And it was the actual winter solstice here in the northern hemisphere

And so that means that the earth is now, you know, it's coming around

It's coming to the sun, you know. In fact, I did a calculation yesterday late yesterday

I was kind of curious about this. So have you, I know this sounds crazy

Have you ever thought how fast the earth is moving through outer space

Seriously, I mean, just like. You drive your car down the expressway, maybe you go 70, 80 miles an hour

So how fast do you think the Earth is traveling through space as it you know circles the sun So you can take a guess Hey Obey how you doing Great to have you here I not going to tell you right away It kind of like one of those quizzes You know when you go to the when you watch football games or baseball games they ask you a question and then you got to kind of

think about it. Maybe it gives you time to do the research. Don't cheat. If anything, go ahead and

just kind of do the math. It's really simple mathematics. The trouble is I didn't have a calculator

that would handle the big numbers. So I had to do it all by hand, the old-fashioned

way. I hope I did it right. I didn't double check my calculations. All right. So let's get my

Santa hat so you can see the red. All right. So anyway, let's thank today's sponsor. Who else

Stain solver. Certified organic oxygen bleach. Kathy and I make it. We've owned the company for

24, 25 years, I think. And maybe a little longer. It's really a great product. It's a powder that you

mix with hot or cold water. I'm sorry, hot or warm water. And it makes a magic cleaning solution

that anything that's water washable, like this shirt I've got on, this hat. If this hat gets a little

grungy I could soak the whole hat in it color safe fabric safe Really really a great product It a deodorizer gets rid of any kind of pet odors or like if you got smelly shirts I had a customer a few months ago reach out to me asking me would it get rid of diesel fuel

So he spilled a bunch of diesel fuel on his clothes, and no matter how much he washed him, it wouldn't go away

And so I said, absolutely, just soak him overnight, it'll be gone. He emailed me about a week later saying, you're right, no odor. It's amazing

So fantastic deodorizer. So just go to stainsolver.com. You'll discover lots of things there

Just be sure to watch the videos. Hey, Steve, what's the word you're here early today

Good for you. Good for you. Hi, Louise. Just so you know, Louise, that's not a new foundation on my home

That's not my house. That's up in the air over that, over that. So, yeah, if you've not, if you look in the chat

Up at the top, I gave you a link to what we're going to talk about here at first. And I saw this happen

That happened this summer in my town in Meredith, New Hampshire. There was an old house

And I guess for whatever reason they decided to put a new crawl space underneath it So it was a really simple job They just lifted the house up in the air about eight feet poured new footers a new foundation under it And then you know

a week or so later, they dropped it back down onto the new foundation. So the topic is

can you install, or how do you install a new concrete foundation? You know, on an existing home

I mean, it's really easy to do when you're building a new home because there's nothing in the way. all right you just dig the hole or level the ground pour the footings and set the panels and do the

walls but what about when you've got a house in the way and you want to save the house it's really

pretty simple hey silver how you doing uh oh well um silver i'm sorry that you've got COVID

I I am a survivor I contracted COVID with my wife back in August and um

My wife is the one who saved my life because my doctor, my doctor, he was useless, just flipping useless

If you want to read about my COVID story, it's simple. Just go to askthebuilder.com and type COVID, C-O-B-I-D into the search engine, read my story

Most importantly, Silver, this is really important. You need to..
