What this video covers
Keith and Renee Whitaker are preparing to erect a steel barndominium on their property, following the completion of an 80-by-120-foot mono slab foundation. A to Z Concrete spent over a month grading gravel, tying rebar, and pouring the two-foot-thick edge slab.▶ 4:44 To prevent random structural failure, the crew installed relief cuts, which encourage concrete to crack in controlled, predetermined lines.▶ 5:23 Despite these measures, a minor surface crack appeared, which the contractors plan to seal with a specialized powder.▶ 6:01 To accommodate the delivery of the steel building components, Keith cleared brush, leveled the road, and removed a section of fencing to allow semi-trucks to navigate the site.▶ 0:27 The delivery arrived via three separate trucks, requiring the crew to inventory and stage the steel beams, girts, purlins, and hardware.▶ 9:42 The construction plan involves building from the back of the structure toward the front to minimize material handling.▶ 11:29 Future site work includes finishing the water line trenching and installing a septic system before the vertical assembly begins.▶ 11:23
