Nice Job Ron. I think you could drive a tank on that floor. I think the owner should have put in at least one 14' door though. I don't think it would have cost him much more than a 12'er. And I can imagine future problems getting large trucks in that 12' door.
It would be interesting to have a comentary on the leveling of the pour (i know its eyes and skill but many gems are being kept secret) and a comentary from the guys flying the helicopters upsidedown. How soon how soft how hard what are the concrete consistancy limits to floating it with those machines. Do the machines skim off the heighs and fill in the lows and leave some lows that need manual raising with a bucket of mix?. This was good but it would be so much better with a voiceover or commentary. The reinforcing mesh was laid on the dpc so not INSIDE the slab but under the slab or at least its in the underneeth of the slab. Not doing a lot of good there as it would have been better an inch or 2 up. Any comments or answers? Other than if the reinforcing was raised at all then the trucks couldnt drive over it. Is it going to be flooded to disperse the chemically generated heat better to force it to hardem slower? Were the rebar mats all welded together?
Geeeez Ronny…. I could watch you work all day, sitting in my a/c living room sippin on an Arnold Palmer. Great content, you and the Boyz make it look easy like a well oiled machine…. It’s Bondo Style! Thanks
You have great vendors and your workers seem to be some good hard working guys. I have 1 great worker and the rest milk the clock to much but there days are numbered lol.
That was nice of Circle T to send a truck over to see if your plan would work. I'm guessing that the sealer on green concrete helps hold the moisture in, so it sets up better.
Thanks for another great video! Hey Bondo do a short from this video at 10:45 where it’s plain as day that the rebar is being pulled up. Maybe it’ll let ease the minds of some people. 😂
How does that reinforcement reinforce anything laying on the ground? Pulling it up randomly has been shown to be inferior to chairs, as it doesn't stay up in the mix.
Same here! I was watching motorcycle videos and somehow fell into the RU-vid blackhole and have been watching concrete pours and smoothing for the past hour! :)
@@AndyFromm Until you insulate and drywall finish the walls and ceiling. Install your 2 post hoist and bench with a vise. Don't forget the wood stove in the corner. Then you call it a Shop!
The money spent on the extra excavating and accompanying work could have been spent on a 14' door and probably had enough left over for pizza and beer for the crew... some customers step over dollars to pick up pennies...
If the mixer was loaded with water, that would tell you how it will fit, but then when it's empty ready to leave, it will be higher also, thanks the springs. But, these trucks are bigger than what I drove a few years ago.
A general question about nudura. My footer is poured. My next step is two full courses of nudura blocks. This top of block is the finish concrete floor. From there it is nudura blocks up to 10 ft. 6" from finish floor. In your opinion, would it be beneficial to do this as two concrete pours, with the floor poured after the first wall pour. ?( three courses nudura) This is a two car garage with 6 " floor, 30 ' by 40 '.
Hi Tom. Yes I would pour the wall up a little past the floor then do all you grade work and pour the floor then do a second pour to finish it off. put tape over the nubs of your wall on the first pour and leave your vertical dowels sticking up to tie in the next pour. Good luck sounds like a nice project.
Thanks for the info. Keep up the good work, I'll keep watching your videos. I really appreciate that some of your videos show "fails", actually learning experiences. FYI, our local concrete company has several conveyor belt trucks, 30 ft. reach, $250 surcharge. Well worth it.
Yes we tamped it when we filled it in before we poured the concrete. We did not tamp the ramp after we dug it out that was rock solid. You can see Biscuit tamping it in the video. 👍
Outstanding job! Just as a matter of curiosity wouldn't it be easier to do the concrete before the building went up? Thanks for posting interesting content!
Why do the men get on knee boards ?why don’t they walk along and trowel along the walls and machine there footprints straight out,seems like a lot of board work ,we hardly ever use use boards in qld Australia,very nice job .
The boards spread out the weight and you can get the edges nice when the concrete is soft and you would be leaving footprints without the boards. Thanks for the comment buddy.
With that many guys, you could 4 of them a wheel barrow or since you could get the trucks in there you should've sent 4 of them home and saved yourself even more money 😜😜🤣🤣🤣
With how many bodies you need for these big pours I'm assuming the margins are small and you make most of your money from doing lots of pours. Honestly though I know nothing about the business so I'm probably crazy wrong.
Paying those guys to stand around trying to get that cement truck in. You'd been better off to of busted a grand on a pumper and just been done with it.
@@beanieweenie9543 10:00 can see it running over the footers. 12:15 on guy with black shirt and glasses is lifting it. Just 2 time stamps i randomly stopped at. Bondo knows what he is doing, I feel his frustration having to explain these simple things in every video.
@@AndyFromm I asked a simple question. You take it upon yourself to explain these things if it frustrates stop doing it. You didn’t have to answer the question, people like you just look for stuff to whine about.
