Concrete Pour Day for the ICF Mansion - Part 1 

Commenters go easy please. I believe a lot of the workers are volunteer and have not really done much of this kind of work. It will be fine when finished. Thanks.

Always have a wheelbarrow following the pump hose ,you never know what could happen . Saves on mess and waste when the pumper has issues. For volunteers and learning curve you all work hard and do a good job , its a big task for even an experienced crew so dont sweat the comments you and your family are going to have a beautiful place and wonderful memories!!! God bless!!

Congrats on the pour, Geoff! I know the spillage was probably not as bad as it looked but it was a bit painful to watch. Hey, we’re all just looking out for you. Your viewers are so completely invested in your success- it’s a testament to the work you’ve put in to documenting this journey for us. We’re pulling for you, Brother.

That was a lot of concrete! Mrs. Bealy Good deserves a huge round of applause for bringing breakfast for the crew! To me, she was the highlight of the video!

Geoff... you, ( and Let's Dig ) have made some great videos on the development of your property....And i have watched (and enjoyed) all of them since your property was nothing more than trees and old cars....But this one is difficult for me to watch....All that concrete mess must be setting off my O.C.D....🤣🤣

Channels like this, make RU-vid worth watching. Great job men. Y'all take care.

Suggest to the ICF folks that they make cap strips to use instead of tape for the top of the wall.

For a lot of volunteer help, I think things are going great. A little mess but that is not the finished product. Looking forward to part 2.

Looking good so far. As others have mentioned, this shows how much easier or harder the pump operator can make it for the rest of the crew. Thanks for the video!

I bet you are happy too see this day done.

there was 1 mud rake operator that deserves a bonus covering for the hose operator

Heck I think the pour went pretty well. Thanks for the vid Geoff.

Mrs B-G is sweet to bring breakfast for the men. Love the overhead camera mount. Birdseye view. Shows the magnitude of this house pour. Thanks.

What a production !! Thanks Geoff !! No blowouts yet. Seems like all is going pretty smoothly. Glad to see all the guys getting it done !! Now I'll just sit tight until Wednesday's release.

One thing to think about when pouring concrete. Pour the large job first. That way at the end of the day your walls would be filled and if short, only the support pads would suffer. If you pour pads first, you may not have enough to finish the walls. But it looks like your workers are doing a decent job.

The first 5 minutes of this video summed up the task loading on the leader of the project, Mr B himself. The stress of the day was bursting the orings before the pump was turned on. At the end of the day if everyone went home safely, that the concrete is structurally sound then all is OK. It's sad to see the hundreds of hours of blood sweat and tears come down to this. I hope Mr. B has the opportunity to sit down with a cold beer and tell all us that everything is going to be OK, but I ended this video asking, WTF did I just see? I know it's hard work but damn.....

Great intro, & segue over to the arrival of The Executive Producer! This was truly a family affair. Now, on to the pour…..

What the hell, some guys are working like their life depended on it and other fellas are dreaming around like their at the beach, it's concrete fella's everyone works you can rest when yr done or the pump stops.

A lot of people have to come together to do a pour like this. You had this well choreographed Geoff! Can’t wait for the second part!

Sure beats the heck out of hauling that stuff in wheelbarrows. Good job! Oh and Mrs. B brought the good stuff.

Y'all had a great day. I look forward to seeing part two on Wednesday.

Been looking forward to this.

Hey Dr. BG. It looks like 'so far - so good' !! Everybody is working together for the good of the presidential palace! Great video! Thumbs up! Safety first! Jim

That is looking very hectic but it looks like it is all coming together great work by all.

Really enjoyed the video Mr Bealy Good. Everyone is doing their best. I imagine the concrete pour is a very stressful time. Bringing breakfast for everyone and having plenty of water on hand makes for a happy crew. Everyone’s hard work is coming to fruition! Can’t wait until Wednesday!

The video was great. A lot going on and lots of people in the mix. I don’t know what it is but every time someone mounts a cam on a boom like that it makes me feel kind of motion sick but I power thru. 😂. Can’t wait for the next installment.

Coming along real nice Mr. Good 😊

He has it dialed in now.

huge sigh of relief, woo hoo

After reading some comments below; Maybe they naysayers should tie up their work boots, get up on your 2x8 walk planks hanging off the walls, grab hold of the elephant trunk & give it a whirl!! Obviously they have never worked on a construction site before yet alone poured a ICF. The operator & all your help did the best he could. There's a lot of concrete in the tube that gravity is taking control of b/4 it stops. My only comment is everyone should have safety equipment on including hardhats, gloves & glasses. That crap splatters bad! Keep it up Geoff your doing good & learning alot!!!!

Boy is that a lot of concreto. I think Mr. Bealy Good must have built his own concrete plant. Did anyone else scream "not in the pool" when the uncooperative hose traveled over the pool edge and dribbled inside? 🙃 Will Mr. Bealy Good hook up the pool before finishing the house so Mrs. Bealy Good can play in her pool sooner? 🤣She was after all on the ball bringing in all that FOOD!. 👍

When the vlog starts out with Gatorade Zero and Food you know this is going to be good. Loved the camera shot on the boom. Fast paced and no turning back.

What could be better than coming home from work and seeing a large concrete pour. greetings from the Netherlands

If I may make a suggestion, when the guys are pouring the window sills (as I refer to them, bottom of window opening) where you have a lot of structure interfering with the drop tube, have a man on the other side hold about 16”x16” square cut off off something so the concrete splatter will bounce off it back into the form, like a backer board or shield, might save you some concrete and clean up later. Just a thought sir. You guys are doing a great job, looks good, thanks for the update, enjoyed watching.

One thing for sure, the pump operator runs the pour, and could have performed a bit better for the team of volunteers who showed up today to help out!! He didn't have to shove the mud so quickly at all of you!! Did he have a hot date waiting for him afterwards??? Record's don't need to be set here!! Safety first!! It all pays the same!!

👍 Looking good! My back is thankful that I am on this side of the camera.

The next Congrete Day, and the End is not reach. Good Video however! Gladd my of the Continuation 💪

Looks like they are wearing it out, getting it done Man !! Right on... Great Video Geoff !! Have a Great Day Man...

Great Job! None was really wasted. Any spillage is just less the floor slab will need when it's poured.

Too bad the guy running the vibrator doesn’t know what he’s doing. You’re suppose to push it in the concrete then remove and move to the next area. Leaving the the vibrator too long in one spot separates the mix, wearing the concrete.

Good call doing the odd parts first. Get them out of the way and ease sailing after that when it's unbearable hot in the afternoon. Great job making sure everyone has food and water. Great job, crews, for everything you're going.

Wow Bealy Team Full on getting her done Great Vlog Thanks

Wow, that was epic and looked real hard work, well done team. 😊

Jeff, with all the small spaces and the narrow channels in top of the walls , and a pump truck, you are bound to have some spillage. I don’t think you lost much. One cubic yard is about 80 sqft 4” thick! 34:40

Nice video Mr Bealy Good.

It's an exciting day in the neighborhood Geoff. Shall we say a huge success...and no blowouts.

Awesome!!!!

Incredible how the image stabilization works on that boom cam on the first pier. Boom all over the place but the ground image is stable. Wow.

Wow, Geoff, you brought back a whole bunch of memories for me. Before a year ago, I had never heard of ICF, but my dad had driven a concrete mixer when I was young. And even more than the pool pours, this took me back to watching him and the crew pouring. I was sweating with y'all watching the very, very hard and back-breaking work you were doing. Kudos to everyone there. People were paying attention, doing what needed to be done, and gettin' 'er done. Thanks for sharing this and I look forward to part 2.

Thank you 👍

Helluva pour!

Great start... 👍👍

I love it thank you!

Always love a good pour day! Good job guys!

Pretty cool

thank you

Good job

Hey Jeff future pours like this where it's hard to get the hose directly into the forum like around the 19:00 mark get you a piece of plywood to let the concrete bounce off of and into the hole. Even a square shovel will help on waste. You'll still have waste regardless.

Well done all the crew! looking forward to part 2. Cheers

Thank you very much for part 1 of the pour.

So excited, it's a bealy good day!!!!

Geoff with what I have seen so far, I’d be asking for a reduction in the amount of concrete you recieved. I know they delivered so much but what you got in your walls was not the same. I’ve never seen so much spillage. Hope the company that supplied the concrete watches your video cause they should replace the remote operator.

Looking good.Awesome.

Amazing process... really cool job

Cool video cant wait til Wednesday. I love this stuff.

Looking good. Keep up the cool vid's.

Great work guys!! What a fantastic journey!!🤗🇺🇸

Geoff thanks for sharing! Kevin

Nice, congratulations brother. Its been a minute preparing for this day.

Annnnnd, cue the concrete "experts"😅

That's a lot of work concrete is never easy. Looking very good and coming along NICE!

There’s a lot going on , good luck finishing it up!

Geoff, when they clean out that pump line make sure your crew is standing far away. Search youtube for examples of accidents.

Great work everyone, it's a challenging job at the best of times and raw footage like this just shows the real world, no hype or editing ☺

What a cluster

learning curve, doing good! Every day you learn something to make the next day better..

Another small step for Geoff, another Great Leap Forward for Bealy Good Homestead!!! Love it! Lover everything about it! Great teamwork makes the dream work.

Gotta love pumper trucks but they have an evil twin built into them!! Brings back many memories!! Always enjoy the pour videos!!

Great to see the progress Geoff Come a very long way since the first walk through with Chris

Hard work but a good crew.

Good morning, July 1st.👍

Great camera shots bro, concreting like this is sure fast paced no matter how many are helping. Safe travels. Ken.

Hard work for guy's that don't do this kind of work everyday.. Great job.

Interesting to watch the vibrator as it gets drug through the concrete. I mean the whole thing was interesting but you can really see the effect with those square footings. 👍👍

Best of luck, I'm sure the pour will go smoothly.

The guys you had working with you on all this were amazing. Can't wait to see more of this, and the final results after all this dries..The Mrs. was a great intro to the video!! Hoping the second video is a bit longer🙂

Wow

I got a headache watching that pumping crew?

Well that’s something now isn’t it.

I have never seen anyone wear a backpack on a concrete pour. Could say more, but I am only a viewer. Overall, so far, it looks like the pour is going OK. I have watched from the beginning. You and LD18 walking thru the woods.

Geoff I'm glad you got your pour done but man i can't believe how much concrete the pumper truck operator wasted i know it was a difficult pour but he looked like a rookie operator. Great video stay safe and cool lol i live in the foothills of North Carolina and it's been a scorcher 🔥 and dry June and now July.

In like Flynn

Concrete company owes you a 1 year supply of Bojangles biscuits to cover the spilled concrete 😂.

👍

I think it went pretty well, pump truck's don't start and stop on a dime! Is this pour number four or number five? I guessed twelve for the complete building. Looking forward to part 2.

Your crew did good, but the pump guy needs to pay better attention to what he's doing and listen to the worker on the hose .

The pump operator needed more training before being let loose on a big job

👍👍👍

You can definitely tell who's not paying for the concrete😢

23:44, you know, they could position the boom between the forms and only have to spin around when the first is full,...
