DIY concrete work

[Cookiemonster]

So I'm seeing a lot of concrete related threads and didn't want to steal any of them so I figured that for those of you wishing to put in that basement, wall, footing, slab I'd post up a few DIY pics. Any one here should be able to whip something like this out on a standard two day weekend I'm sure. For your enjoyment gents........

Meh, half days work, saving the rest of the DIY weekend for play.

Hahaha.

Impressive job, well beyond the profitability realm for any personally vested entities.

I'd just tack some landscaping fabric at the bottom and then fill the hole with cheap debris till it was level. A few inches of soil on top, then build your building. Take bets on how may hours it will hold.

I live on a steep hill but nothing like that.

Just need to use insta-holes when putting in the solider pier wall for the concrete walls to be formed up. The insta-holes usually sit in the lumber building materials dept at your local supplier, right next to the board stretchers of course.

Here's another Project for the DIY. This is only a two story with basement. Here you have piers in with rat slab.

Looks like you have the concrete thing down.

Maybe focus on your photography skills next

Interesting. Never seen soldier piles and lagging with the tie backs through the web of the piles like that. Usually I see whalers with the tie backs between the piles.
