How to Form Footings Part 4 Tying Rebar

We pulled off the Project 150 to put in a few foundations. We'll be back to that job shortly. This video is the 4th of a few that document the foundation process for 2 homes. These are both daylight or walk out basements. After determining grade, the excavating contractor digs down and blows out the site level. You'll see as we go, this job will have 10' poured concrete walls across the front and then step down to 2' walls in the back. This video covers tying the footing steel (rebar) and also the J hooks. Those are vertical rebar with a bend, since they look like J, they are often called J hooks. Tying steel is very productive if you have a rebar tying gun. I'm using the ‪@MAXUSACORPTools‬ TwinTier. Tying in the J hooks or "verts" can be tedious, but I bought these Steel Mate rebar holders. Attach them once and then just reuse them. https://steelmate.com/ https://www.fab-form.com/ ‪@FabFormIndustries‬ https://www.stabila.com/en-US/product... ‪@STABILAOfficial‬ Please remember that I'm not showing the best way to form footings, but just the method that works well for us. Thanks for watching! Oh and another takeaway, if you use a drone for commercial work, you need to be part107 certified. Commercial work includes social media like YouTube if you plan to make an income off of that. I watched a video about this last May and then purchased the Part 107 Course https://sso.teachable.com/secure/2458... I studied and learned for 1 month and then took my test. I scored a 95%, which is a testament to how good Greg and the crew over there teach. That link will save you $100 off the course and support this channel.
