Foundation Layout & Digging Footings // Not So Tiny House Build Part 2

In part 2 of my (Not So Tiny) House build series, I'll show how we did the layout work for the foundation using batter boards and string line, then dug the holes for the footings with an excavator! // Thanks to AMD for sponsoring this video!

// About The (Not So Tiny) Tiny House Build Series //
I’m building a 670 ft2 tiny house / guest house in our backyard and covering the whole process, start to finish. Why? Well, my wife and I just had our second kid and, with the addition of that second kid, our main house is getting a little cramped for guests.

In Part 1, I covered designing the tiny house, getting HOA approval and my building permit, and finally doing some site prep work to prepare for construction. Watch here :    • I'M BUILDING A (not so tiny) TINY HOU...  

Part 3, which will be published on December 18, will cover creating the forms for the concrete footings using Sonotubes and rebar, pouring the concrete, then attaching the 6x6 post base brackets using anchor bolts. We'll also build the beams, or girders, which will support the entire house out of triple layered 2x12s. Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss the upcoming videos!
