#383 Tim Sprague from Pound 4 Pound joins us to talk about framing and forming in high-end BC

FastFoot by Fab-Form

With the madness of lumber over the last 3 years, dramatic costs and uneven ground, shit excavators can get away with murder. Just let Fastfoot by Fab-Form in or out on your screed boards. It acts as a capillary break, preventing moisture from getting into the home through the footing and it allows tradespeople to form any depth of footing with just 2x4's. Don’t forget about all time saved in just the simple act of moving forms around site, cutting, stripping and disposal. Are you forming your footings the same way your grandpa did? It might be time to have a look at Fastfoot by Fab-Form. Fastfoot is a high-density polyethylene fabric that you simply staple to 2x4's to form any sized footing. A 100' roll of Fastfoot weighs 14lbs and will form the same amount of concrete as 1,500lbs of lumber. That's a lot of weight off your back, and a lot of lumber not in the landfill.

Fastfoot by Fab-Form protects your forming lumber from the concrete, so stripping is a breeze, and can be reused over and over. And you can tie it into your wall and slab membranes to prevent moisture from wicking into the home through your footings. With the crazy prices of lumber lately, its time to start looking at doing things differently.
