https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/22854668-5712-4b5c-ab1a-e06b48c7da70 Welcome back to our channel! In this video, we bring together all the essential steps involved in framing and waterproofing a garage slab that sits over living space below. Join us as we explain the engineering behind the wood floor framing, subfloor waterproofing, and the placement of the concrete slab. Our goal is to control and manage cracking, ensuring the longevity and stability of the structure. We'll also discuss the cosmetic aspects and how we matched the floor height of the main house for seamless accessibility. Additionally, we touch upon the considerations for lateral loads and seismic design in high-risk areas. Follow along as we showcase the process of framing the floor system and provide insights into the installation techniques. Our expert subcontractor guides us through the crucial steps of joint tooling and placement of the concrete slab. Throughout the video, we emphasize the importance of collaboration and listening to experienced professionals in the construction industry.

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/245841/checkout/1320802/bundle-remote-pilot-plus-maneuvers?coupon_code=FRAMERS100&affcode=245841_0eauthdo 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. Some of the links below are affiliate links.
