Another damned good job, all your experience shows when things don't go just right. I use Butterfield clear guard also, I found over the last 4, or 5 years that using their "first seal" first really worked well. It's a water based sealer that really penetrates and protects. It also acts like a primer for the "clear guard" & makes it last way longer. Thanks again for doing these.
@@bondobuilt386 I know Sika bought Butterfield, the buckets are different now. Same product, I do all my stamped concrete with that combination. It seems to be holding up well with our weather here in southeast Nebraska, gotta be similar to you
I have seen all different sizes and types of concrete trucks. Conventional and mix on location. But they all discharge out the rear. I have never seen a front discharge before this ☝🏻
Another nice job Bondo. You live in a very nice part of the world, except for the winter time. lol I especially liked going to Fairhaven back when we were going up to the lake.
I don’t know, was pretty entertaining the being stuck in the marsh part, and everywhere else today! LOL They’ve taken getting stuck to a whole new level! LOL 😂
Victory still has another concrete job to see if you listen to ryan he mixes them up this time of year. Also, it depends where u live. Other areas don't get the weather like Ryan's area. Also, he doesn't do inside jobs like bondo, so it's obvious that bondo will have more concrete jobs as he can do more in the winter times
Sorry but the driver was not so great. Next time put the load all the way forward stop the drum and do lock in but not diff lock because you will dig holes. Put the transmission in second low and push that pedal on the right. Granted it was soft but should’ve made it 🤷
@@bondobuilt386 Thanks Mr Bondo! What was the water/cement ratio? That numbers says a lot on how strong the concrete can be. From 0.4 to 0.5 is significant. 0.4 to 0.6 is a different world. For graph, find this image: Water-cement-ratio-vs-compressive-strength-of-concrete.png
I do not know the water to cement ratio but they do there testing at the plant at a 5" to 5-1/2" slump but a guy can ruin that if he pours it wetter so we do not pour wet concrete. I am sure the plant could answer that question. Next time I stop there I will ask and get back to ya bud. @@elbuggo
@@bondobuilt386 Thanks again, Mr Bondo! The slump doesn't tell us much on how strong the concrete will be, it only tells you how workable it is. You can make the mix more workable (higher slump) by reducing the friction in the mix with some plasticizer or water reducer. Still, the cement/water ratio is very significant for the strength of the concrete. Also, Mr Bondo, I cant understand how you can get 4000psi without proper curing! I have a graph here by some assistant concrete professor that says that concrete cured properly for 28 days will be 50% stronger than with no curing at all. I assume they gave you 4000psi concrete when cured for 28 days and no added water? Then, without proper curing, your concrete will only reach 2700psi. Around here, 4500psi concrete is prescribed when it has to be frost proof, and 4800psi when it has to resist both frost and salt.
Tell you a little secret, have the driver back the concrete out to the front of the drum, dump the color on top of it, then run it back in and mix it for at least 5 minutes, it will blend better, and mix through faster, and more evenly. You said Hmmmmm, again, and Mud! SMH! $50 fine! 🤦♂️🥊 LOL 😂
@@bondobuilt386 The Hmmmm Police 👮♀️, DAMN, that didn’t even sound right! LOL 😂 Back to the drawing board! 🤔🤦♂️🤣 I thought you supplied the color on this one, my mistake. That’s a good procedure if you’re adding the color onsite.
Anybody that knows anything about getting trucks into a hard spot knows should stop at the first try. Not going to make a difference trying over and over.
If I were the customer, I would charge u for damaging my garden. Why don't you have a little dumper truck like the other concrete companies, then you wouldn't have to drive on the garden
That was not the green it was where they reshaped the hill and we offered to fix it but the customer was not done with the dirt work so he just back bladed it when they filled around the slab. He was ecstatic with the job and said we could drive up the hill vs trying to use our concrete dumper buggy. and yes I have on too.
