We used to pour 12 inch thick walls 60 feet high at the local paper mill. Takes a lot of bracing to do that .looks like you are doing a fine job on the walls.
The size of your operation is staggering. How do you keep track of everything? Your farm is literally the size of a small town and it even has a street running through it!! lol Crazy
Those concrete trucks haul between 9.25 and 10 yards because of weight limitations on the roads. Any more and they would tear the roads up too bad.that is a really nice power screed.
I'm afraid to ask what this cost I just poured 80 yards almost 13,000 my small operation don't even stand a chance against an organized operation like this
I went to BOCES for Heavy Equipment Operating back in high school almost 25 years ago. I had a buddy in that class for two years his name was Rob Marshall, I'm wondering if that's his dad's or his buissnes!? He was from Stockbridge if I remember correctly.
Do you have a schedule when the adjoining bunk will be built? Enjoyed your documentation of this one and happy to live a little vicariously through your next expansion phase also!
Andrew Hourigan oh we have one in a hill like yours it 200x50 but no concrete just highway blocks for walls and 6 100 40 bunker covers for the floor but it works also would you ever go grain bunker route
Curious as to why you are building it that way as opposed to the prefab bunker walls? Im guessing for longevity? As the prefab walls tend to get weak over the years, atleast the ones that we have at work.
Jim Civitello our first 2 bunks that we had built were pre Fab. They were 8' tall and worked good while we were using them. As time went on poured walls made better sense, we had some spoiling issues with the pre Fab walls, the seems between the concrete slabs allowed for spoilage.
Andrew Hourigan yes we get some spoilage also almost always at the joints between the prefab panels. We currently only have 1, 2 sided bunk and another single wall bunk that we are able use. The rest gets packed in a pile on a paved area, not ideal by any means.
How can the average farmer afford anything like this? I think your not sure what is going on here, you must be watching off a vidio, shows how much you know
I think Andy knows exactly what is going on as with all the things he videos . Beside it would be ashamed to write the check for all that concrete and not know what is going on. Great job Andy!
