In this recent video posted on the Awesome Framers YouTube channel, Tim Uhler walks us through how his small crew of framers prepped and poured the footings for a large home that they are building. As he explains in detail, the pour didn't go quite as planned.
"Yep, I blew it. Why did I pop that cleat? This video is honest. We all make mistakes, but it's important to move on and recover. This is real life on a jobsite. We've been struggling with new subs, concrete mix, schedules, weather, and frankly, diminishing mental health. BUT we all go through moments like these, nothing doing but to power through. Please remember that I'm not showing the best way to form footings, but just the method that works well for us."
