Episode 12: In this episode, we dive into the wild world of suspended concrete garage decking using LiteDeck ICF forms. No, we aren’t building a parking garage or condo building, but having the garage suspended over the main bedroom was what this lake lot called for. Using LiteDeck enabled us to have NO beams or columns in the basement below. John follows the crew as they prep the ICF walls with ledger boards and bend the rebar over the newly installed LiteDeck floor. We go in depth into how LiteDeck works and how to install it for a suspended garage floor. Details like how to run electric, water, and ventilation through a concrete ceiling/floor and walls is shown, and the bracing for the ICF LiteDeck flooring is inspected. Finally, the concrete truck appears and it is showtime!

Channel overview: John and Leslie take you step by step on the journey of building their new home on Table Rock Lake. The house is an ICF (insulated concrete form) home with suspended garage floor and concrete decks. This all takes place on a sloped lot, where the fun never ends. From septic to backfill headaches, join them on their journey to build a home on their dream lake lot on Table Rock Lake!

John and Leslie have remodeled three homes and provided construction on many more, but this is their first build from the ground up. John worked as an engineer for several years and as an owner’s representative for several multimillion-dollar homes, so he will serve as the general contractor on this project.
