I'm telling you what, you 2 NEED those 2 trucks back home, lol and they actually sell both kinds in the states. My buddy bought a brand-new dump truck for $50K, $1,000 a month payment; he was worried he wouldn't get enough use out of it; yet it's his 2nd biggest money maker since, and he had it paid off in literally just one year from profits off the work he was able to get as a result, including renting it out. A Flat Bed Truck WITH LIFT, and a Dump Truck, you 2 will never be happier, I Think. Anyhow, Great Video, you're in my top 2 FAVORITE Construction/Home Build Channels, I just love your content here. - Bill Cragg
Fantastic build in France! My Wife's family is from the Alsaynce Lorain area that used to be part of Germany! We enjoyed visiting that area! Thank you for the cool build! Awesome! Thank you guys! 😊
Seeing the joy you both share and the ease of your work together in France or Newport makes for a happy Saturday. I especially enjoyed seeing Vaillant's folks. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
That's really great of you two to go over to France to help Vion's parents. Plus you get to visit and travel. Sounds like peacock(s) and maybe chickens or roosters in the background. Rural area must be beautiful! Lucky you!
You guys are awesome. You must remember that there are 44 individual countries in Europe and things are done vastly differently across those countries. Here in England we don’t do slabs as shown in France. All the things you couldn’t get are commonplace in the UK. 😎
1. Is this house a family members house? 2. How is the trailer going to get out without crushing some part of the concrete slab/slabs? Or is it a small utility shed? 3 Nice job!!!
Good morning 🌅, I no it is to late, there is a company called Belle that makes a very nice concrete mixer, and the good thing about them is that the body itself comes off the stand so it will fit into a very small vehicle, and they rained around about £300. I’ve just tried to look to see whether they are available in Europe but I cannot find them yet., hope this helps somebody, from France
I live in Sweden and I like our way of measuring in metric measurements, which you measure in the USA feels like a thing of the past. When you mentioned that you would like to have a truck like this in the United States, there were probably no problems
Finally! European way of building! And in correct units :D Feels almost like at home - we also have Castorama, Leroy and Brico in Poland hehe. As for the truck with crane in Poland we call this HDS (stands for Hydrauliczny Dźwig Samochodowy or something like Hudraulic Vehicle Crane) and Wiki tells me in english it's called "Knuckle boom crane" and I'm very surprised that the article about it is only available in 3 languages. Strange as you can find it all over the place here and pretty sure everywhere in Europe. Nothing really unique there - for those stakes we typically just use pieces of rebar as you did make wooden stakes on our own as you also did :D I've never seen dedicated concrete dobies live, just on US YT ;-) There are some plastic ones available, sometimes used on larger construction sites but very often we just use a piece of concrete pavement etc.
Love it. And love to see the confidence in confirmation of metric measuring systems implemented served you ‘better’ compared to imperial. 😅 never thought I’d see this happen that Americans would get used to it in a few days work. 😅
The slab came out great. I didn't see any holidays when you pulled off the form boards. I guess I'm showing my age but back in the 60's America was starting a 10 year plan to convert to the metric system. Back in elementary school it was part of the curriculum and then all of a sudden it stopped and went away. Don't know what happened. BTW am I hearing peacocks in the background?
Does a neighbor have a peacock as their flock guardian ? It sounds like they do ! Slab turned out great, does this indicate some new building adddition(s) to your home ? Was thinking of steps down to your utility shed, shower / bathroom ? You could make them in 2 or 3 organically shaped round paver molds and be able to carry them down to be installed as needed leading to and from container ( remember to make bottom side of moulds have reinforced beams or ridges around edges and criss crossing for strength and slip resistance against soil or gravel bedding ). Maybe go really big with an infinity pool adjacent to house made from an inverted container with steel and concrete reinforced walls by using a container with numerous small holes in walls as internal structure and additional steel ( rebar welded onto container ) and concrete cladding it to support immense water weight ? Pool can also act as a reservoir for rain, and be an insurance against fire damages to protect home and vicinity in a wildfire.... Don't know if freezing is an issue in your locale's winter conditions, so maybe add a small heater and recirculation pump so it stays slightly warm in winter like 80 F ? It could have just a smaller hot tub built into main pool to keep remaining water from freezing ?
Good morning 🌅, great job guys, opposite somewhere location there is peacocks, 🦚 or something similar, Many years ago, I used to live in a place in the UK and there was a manor house that used to have a few wandering around in the estate and they will come out onto the road and Walk around as if they own the place, Anyway, great job, From old English dude living in France,
