40 X90 Pole barn floor. (SAVED $3000 ON CONCRETE!!!!) 

Chris your welcome. We like to use your products. 👍👍

Thanks Jason. It’s like anything else it gets easier the more tricks you learn. Still some days still suck. Lol 😂

Karen thank you. I’m hoping to instill a work ethic in the little dude. I think it’s working because he wants to help every time I bring him. 👍

Thanks man 👍 That’s a great idea. My buddy put a water bottle holder off a mountain bike on his. He said it’s his beer holder. Lol 😂

thank you it did work great. 👍👍

I completely agree and yes I paid the little dude. 👍 Must be working because he was crying because he ran out of things to do and thought he wouldn’t get paid. Lol

Thank you 😊

Awesome. Thanks so much. 👍😊

Thanks I’m glad you liked the video. We pour footers too. 👍😊

Absolutely. Your welcome. Glad u liked it. 👍👍

Thanks. Most definitely I will Tom 👍😊

Thanks Marc. Sorry to hear your house burned down bud. that sucks. Any questions along the way hit me up pal. 😊😊

You are more than welcome I’m glad you are enjoying them. 😊

Awesome idea buddy. 👍

LOL Thanks Erwin. 👍😊

Thank you 😊

Timothy thats awesome. Nothing better then one day you look at your kids and realize that everything you tried teaching them through the years sank in at some point. LOL. I got 2 boys and I see that same thing buddy. 👍😊

Thanks. Lol 😆

Thanks Rod I appreciate that. 👍😊

Thanks Mitch 👍

Awesome! Thank you!

Thank you 👍😊

Thanks James 👍😊

Thank you 😊

Thats awesome. Thanks. It is something that never goes out of style. Warm feet that is. lol 👍😊

thanks yes Vitalle and Oswego county. I own a track buggy but I dont drive it on tubing jobs. 👍

Roger thanks for the tip. 👍😊

@T M thanks I appreciate that. 👍

Thanks Jeff. Welcome to my channel. I agree with that statement buddy. 👍👍

That sucks buddy. Sounds like you should have them at least watch some of my videos first. lol I have busted my ass on jobs just like what you describe. Im getting to old and smart for that crap. lol I hire enough guys and use good equipment. Sometimes I could use a few more finishers. Most my guys cant finish but I'm teaching them but you would know how long that takes. 👍👍

​@@bondobuilt386 Thank you for your fine videos and showing how when one works smarter, it sure can make even huge jobs seem smaller. Sadly, in my toughest lack of help, lack of avoiding my own pain being multiplied situations, it was usually instances of me being asked to HELP a friend get Their Job done. One Basement pour and one Sidewalk pour in particular. It was definitely hard to be doing 2 men's work and a bunch of young teen or even under 10 year olds as the balance of the help then to essentially have them being useless. Thankfully if myself or other pro contractors have had concrete jobs, we have had the manpower and resources to make the job an efficient division of skilled vs grunt laborers on hand.

@@nighttrain022 understood. Nothing worse then not having enough or the proper help or tools to get it done. Thanks for the comments buddy 👍

What is an R panel buddy?

@@svenulfskjaldbjorn5401 oh thanks. I didn’t know what he meant. Lol

The trucks around here dont like to let us hook to there chutes because of the extra weight it might brake there chute.

Thanks. I like a 4000lbs concrete mix. We use low air entrainment in barns that will not be heated all the time. We get pretty cold winters and snow. I prefer wire mesh over fibers but you can run both if your budget allows.

Good idea with the foam around the pipes.

John thanks buddy. 👍 Yes I love teaching the littlre guy to work. The tubing is always left on the Botton so we did fiber mesh in the concrete. We always hook the wire but not in a radiant slab because that tubing needs to stay on the bottom. It works better there and it won't be damaged. If thge slab was say 8" thick we would pull it up a little bit. Thanks for the comments 👍👍

Thanks for subscribing buddy. Wet are in Oswego county New York. 👍😊

thanks 👍

The wire makes a real nice grid for laying out the tubing and getting thge loops exactly the same. We could have layed another matt of wire on top of the tubing but we used fiber mesh in the concrete. Some customers will pay me to put rebar down as well. Depends on the budget of thge project

@@bondobuilt386 why not get a staple gun and staple the tube to the foam? I've done that for many years and it's much cheaper and faster than mesh

@@user-zu2bw7ig5v I like using the mesh it helps to lay the pattern as it’s 6” grid makes it easy I think. We lay it down fast and it’s not that expensive buddy. 👍👍

The wire gets pulled up if wet don't have tubing installed. if there is tubing we don't pull up because it will put tubing up where it will be damaged. at that point the wire is there to hold the tubing in place so we add fibers for extra strength. you can staple tubing down and put wire on top. I might start doing it that way. we did one that way at the end of the season.

No never done on like that Marc. That seems like an expensive build.but interesting for sure. 👍

Thanks. 6 mil polly vapor barrier. We do not tape the seams. It will move when you wazlk on it and the tape will come off

@@bondobuilt386 I’m finishing my semi truck shop pole barn. (Already built) 30x50. Going with 6 inch concrete. Get my pad prepped lay vapor barrier then 2in insulation with mesh and pex. I moved to Nashville Tn area from upstate Ny and cannot find a contractor anywhere that will tackle this. So..... I’m doing it myself. Sure appreciate your knowledge and videos.

@@bctw9004 Thats awesome buddy I am so glad I could help ya. Sounds like you got everything good with the project. 👍😊

Mark awesome we have a camp in Montague. Snowmobile up there. You can buy these manifolds and the pump on line from Supply House. That same pump I used will work for most applications.

@@bondobuilt386 What model pump would you recommend for 750sf ... 3 @ 300ft loops ... taco 009 ... what model # ??? Thx Mark

@@markrayburn451 Taco 0015-IFC This is a three speed pump and it will handle many different applications and it’s cheaper then the 009. Taco built it to cover 007 008 and 009 applications. And it uses less power to boot. 👍👍

@@bondobuilt386 Any other "parts" needed ??? Got the pump &flange in my cart ... backflow valve ... etc ??? Thx & Stay Safe ...

@@markrayburn451 You need your manifold I just use 1” copper ones if tubing is of equal length. You will need a proper sized expansion tank and an air scoop. You will probably need a taco zone control box to hook thermostat to as well. It’s hard because I dont have all the info about your system.

Concrete varries so much from placde to place. We are paying close to $150 a yard here in central New York. A 40 X60 floor at 6” thick would take 44 -1/2 yards of concrete. If we need a pump to place the concrete its another $1000 for that on top of the cost of the concrete.

This is just a pole barn slab. Yes the poles go in the ground down 48" and sit on a piece of concrete at the bottom. There is a better option to put sono tubes in with post brackets or Perma Collums they are a concrete post that hooks to the 6X6. more money but way better no wood in the ground. We put rebar in monolithic slabs. and they are a slab on grade with an integral footer.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z__1OOIuHA8.html this is a monolithic slab on grade buddy.

Jim. We always pull it up unless there is tubing attached. The tubing is best left on the bottom. We use the mesh to lay out and tie the tubing. The mesh is a 6” grid and tubing is layer at 1’ on center. If the slab was 8” thick I would pull it up. We put fibers in the concrete so that was out extra reinforcement when we run pex because the wire does not get pulled up. Thanks for the comments buddy. 👍👍

Yes rebar is best. 👍

Your welcome 👍 We’re from upstate New York. 45 minutes north of Syracuse. I been to Kansas hunting though. Lol

@@bondobuilt386 okay I looked up the area code. I thought I said Kansas 816 that was Bond remodeling sorry. We used to go camping every year in Upstate New York. Fawn lake.

@@MrSprintcat Nice. Small world buddy. 👍👍

@@carriegreenleaf9612 northern ready mix is doing most of Amazon. We use vittalle Robinson most of the time. Was still hard to get concrete this summer for sure.

Maybe you didn’t watch the video. We didn’t wheel barrel at all that would have sucked. Done it for years. We did the slab in three sections not two I explained why in the video. We used fibers in the concrete and yes the wire is there to hold the tubing down as explained in the video. We used a hand screed to set wet pads for grade as I said in the video as well. One small area we pulled it down with the hand screed to knock the high spot down. The job was not that hard at all we didn’t think? Thanks for the feedback but I’m not sure you watched the video and listened to the voiceover explaining everything?

Tom the tubing is 1/2” oxygen barrier pex. The heat demand will dictate the size water heater u need. A 50 gallon gas or oil heater will do most jobs. A taco 009 pump works for most jobs as well but I would want to know more info before sayin for sure. I run my house and shop from a wood boiler and mix the 180 water down to 120 into the in floor pex tubing.

@@bondobuilt386 Ron the basement is 2000SF and I was thinking of 6 loops of 333 feet to use up two 1000 ft rolls of pex. Planning on using Nudura ICF from foundation to roof, 19.5 ft tall and 2 inches of ISO foam under slab.

Tom I would run 4 500’ loops of the tubing. It will be much easier to keep the lengths the same. 1 Taco 009 pump will handle those loops fine and you can just use a cheap copper header. I’ve done it about 20 times. A 50 gallon HTP Phoenix light duty water heater in natural gas or propane will heat that entire house.

I was wondering about this as well, I thought you had to have it suspended in the concrete or not only can it rust, but it won't provide the support?

No problem 👍There was no rebar in this slab. We used wire mesh tyo hold the tubing down and fibers in the concrete for reinforcement.

They will live in the back and a race car shop in the front 40x60 area.

Hi John. It’s 1/2” oxygen barrier tubing.

Yes I agree. I honored it because of COVID the job got pushed back. Really not there fault. Mine neither though. Lol 👍

Thanks for subscribing Tiffany. 😊 I need more info on the house. Is it going to be built on a concrete pad? Is your question how much insulation to put under the concrete and the tubing spacing? or something else?

I’m sorry, should have been more clear. Yes, on a concrete pad, 40x40. Since it’s a mild climate I wondered if 1” insulation would be enough? And would 9 or 12” loops be best. Any help would be helpful. Thanks

Tiffany stick with the 2” foam it will work better no sence in heating the ground even if its a milder climate. You should do 1 foot of tubing per square foot of space. You have 1600 square feet so I would run 4 - 400foot lups and run it on a wire mesh grid. this will space tubing 1 foot apart. I have a few videos on how to run the tubing and it will work perfect. I will send links. Dont forget to insulate the outer edge of slab too thats more important then under it.

Hi Bunk we are in upstate New York. 45 min north of Syracuse.

That is for heat. Hot water is run through the tubing and heats the concrete up. Its called in floor radiant heat. Works great 👍👍

@@bondobuilt386 so, I guess the hot water won't crack the concrete, that's good thanks sir. 👍

@@patriot2872 no it won't crack it. Your welcome 😊
