Foundation Talk: Laying Block, Buying Smart, and Slab Prep | PBB Retirement Home Part 5 Q&A

In Episode 45, we’re back on site with updates from Part 5 of the “Building A Dream Retirement Home” series — and this one’s all about answering fan questions and digging into one of the most important (and overlooked) parts of the build: the foundation.


Jaime Perkins covers a lot of ground in this episode — from early morning podcast banter to hands-on block laying advice, including what it takes to get your foundation right the first time. If you’re planning your own build, or just want to understand how pros think through concrete, block, and slab work, this one’s packed with real-world insight.


In this episode:

🧱 How to calculate the right amount of block

📦 Tips for ordering materials and avoiding over/underbuying

🔧 The tools you need for a smooth block-laying process

🏗️ Why block + slab prep matters so much for long-term durability

💬 A few favorite fan questions from the YouTube comments

☕ Plus: Some early-morning side stories and project updates


Whether you’re here to learn, listen, or laugh a little, this episode keeps things real — just like we do on every job site.
