4th generation finisher Working with my father we take on anything concrete from pumping with line pumps, forming and pouring house slabs, driveways, sidewalks and much more in the beautiful state of Arkansas.
Its not setting up because there is a vapor barrier beneath it. The water has no place to go except up. Any time we pour over vapor barrier we put 2 inches of sand on top.
I’ve done concrete for 40 years done many buildings like this it’s a key way for the metal building to sit down in three things. I would do put a lot of great steaks make sure the slump is it a seven and plenty of beer for the end of the day after cat walking everything
That’s a sweet 2” line pump mix! I’m in Kentucky and I’m having trouble convincing these ready mix plants to dial the rock back and only use pea gravel
Wow, I’m learning so much from your channel , thank you!! Also had a question, when you unclamp and remove a hose, do you put the machine in reverse mode ? Before you remove a hose ?
Nice work! I did a garage floor with a two foot frost wall in one pour. It was about 10 x 20. 6 yards just me and the concrete truck driver but he was cool. My forms were good so it was like filling a upside down bathtub. I had a good book called Masonry and Concrete Work by Max Alth. I have done two more since. All in cooler weather so that bought me some time with the finish work.
@@graysconcrete135 I wonder why... there are areas in Oregon that we head to, that is 80+ miles from are loading yards, these contractors love our fresh mud...
That's 3 guys. The most I've done by myself in one day and I mean all by myself was a 13 yard patio with 2 steps all seamless Roman Slate texture stamped with borders and bands. Only me.
That's the 1st thing I thought when I saw the video...this video is like clickbait. I've poured lots of these all by myself...no help, only me. I've poured lots of large areas of concrete alone...if patios, I always get a line pump for fast placing. Some guys don't know how to work with concrete...meaning fast and efficient. Stay strong brother.
Been there before seems like any thing poured 4 pm or later with a trowel finish goes into the wee hours. Had one commercial job with many side walks and patio`s ,we would pour about 9 am and couldn`t even dream about finishing anything until midnight. Due to specs on the job the engineer tried to make new recipe`s to no avail and it was july.
Should be posting again soon. Wife and I had our first kid and after work I don't have enough time to edit and hangout with my kid so I took some time off from videoing.
Recently had a baby and editing just takes up too much time after working all day and i really don't want to miss this newborn stage lol. I'll probably be back in a few weeks. Just trying to balance between work and family at the moment.
Nice another comment telling a pump operator to do another man's job for free. That's on the finisher to do his job not me. I drove two hours to operate a concrete pump not pull wire for someone who is getting paid to do it bud
I'm kinda lost why is there so much water down there? Everything seams really wet (not the mud) the floor. West coast would have dragged that all hose by his self lol jk 😜 good video and happy 🐣 easter
I think they had just recently cut the concrete is why it was so wet. And yeah on jobs like this where they're basically renting the pump for a service I typically don't touch the hose I was just being generous this day lol. On my own jobs the hose are all me lol. With so many twist and turns someone has to keep an eye on the hose to make sure they aren't kinked.
Glad to see a video from the actual site. This building use to be the old jail. This is in Monticello Arkansas and the concrete company is called Select Concrete.
Wow this is on the square in Monticello Arkansas we pass by this going towards my house. We are based in Monticello Arkansas. This building is also an old post office
We don't have any employees. It's just me and my dad. On our big pours we just call two guys we know that kinda do their own thing. But for the most part we can handle everything else!
