Your crew makes concrete work look easy. I know it’s hard work. I enjoy your narrative style giving us expert insights and information along the way. Thanks for an enjoyable time with my coffee.
Attention to detail in the prep work makes all the difference, it might take a wee bit longer, but the end result is an easier pour and fewer blowouts.
I do admire Tom and his team for the work they do, sometimes under stressful situations, they're true professionals in their trade.
This may sound weird, but watching and listening to you guys working, is soooo relaxing and therapeutic. Maybe that's cuz it's YOU doing the work!?!?! 😂😂 I just get so relaxed, and enjoy what y'all are doing!! 😊😊😊
Glad you enjoy it!
I really liked your Background MUSIC... it was perfect for the Time Lapse...The Heavy Metal background music is a little much early in the morning................................. lol Another Great VIDEO !! Lots of action... learning TOO!! thanks Tom and Crew
It's funny, no matter where you go, the concrete boss is always in the way. And none of them ever recognize it. To the fellas doing the work, nice job guys. Both with the tools and letting the big guy throw shade on you.
I like the mat that you put on the mules to prevent the splashing of the concrete, on my house there was splashing on my vinyl siding, wood door and window trim and AL screen door all dried hard as a rock and wouldn't come off no matter what I tried...and here it is 5 yrs later & I can still see the stains on EVERYTHING!! I would insist on putting plastic up on any surface up to 8' away & 8' high..yes it splashed that high!
Also, why aren't the guys all using square shovels, I noticed on older guy with one but all the others were using pointed ones. I've found that doing this type of work with a pointed shovel just dulls the point and is way less efficient. I enjoy watching your crew working, you're so lucky to have those guys!
You’re right it splashes you have to deal with it right away
My first job 30 plus years ago was concrete labourer no power buggy all wheelbarrow wow hard work..but I'm glad I did it..than became heavy equipment tech..out of the pain and into the fire .you guy s do great work
Nice work!
I just had to wheelbarrow 4 yrds to a footing on a add on, i dont do much concrete but when i do its always a backbreaker lol
I have to agree with you, there are not many crews who can do steps like that, in two spots and make them solid as well as beautiful. The sidewalks ought to be a walk in the park after all the bracing and carpentry work that went into those steps. Another job well done!
That's a lot of preparation for an excellent outcome. You do very nice work Tom. I know the customer will be very pleased with the results. Stay safe.
So nice to see that there are still guys out there who do quality work. Well done!!!!
Thanks
I can’t watch your videos anymore Tom, my back hurts after each one!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
You’ll get use to it
GOOOOOOOD
MONDAY MORNING EVERYONE!!!….another nice video…. Emily or Tom who ever selected the music put into the video…😂😂😂
Steps came out great! I didn’t see that vibrating tool used. Why not on these steps?
Catch Yinz on the next one
Have a Day!!
I liked the video but to short! I've poured concrete in many different applications over 32yrs. Most times with a wheel barrow and only a short time with a Georgia Buggy! Those days more labor intensive! I can still see the the fruits of my labor.
Why do you not use rebar chairs? Seems like they would be worth their weight in gold on strengthening any project.
We use them all the time
Tom, many people comment on the quality of your work. I agree with them.
But I am also very impressed with something different - the quality business you have built! Not market share or profit so much as the efficiency, established procedures for every job, your forward thinking and systems you have in place.
As an entrepreneur, I know how hard it is to build a successful business that can still operate well if you decide to take a vacation, etc. I could go on and on, but I'll leave it at that.
The guy is supervising very well. He checks on everybody and make sure the job is getting done right before it’s too late and then cost more money.
Always impressive. Today's video title describes many pours that TSH has done. That porch w the room under it, reminds of a much larger pour that as it was getting prepped, a very large room discovered under the garage. You had to bring an engineer out to ensure all was correct. I remember it to be not only stressful, but it took quite a bit longer to finish, throwing your schedule around. Shoot, I can remember a bunch of pours that was very remarkable. Today is the first day in a long time, I don't see the 90s in the forecast. Won't be long, we will get to see off-season projects! Really nice work today guys. Watching pros work is always a pleasure. Thanks.👍❤️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Magnificent concrete work on a very average looking house! (I grew up in a neighborhood of houses like that one - early 1960s.)
Very cool!
When you poured the porch, you used plywood. Do you ever use a corrugated pan when you pour a porch floor over an open space?
Always looking forward to your videos Tom.
I appreciate that!
THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A GOOD CREW THAT KNOWS WHAT THE OTHER MOVE IS GOING TO BE!!!..IT SURE MAKES EVERY BODYS LIFE THAT MUCH BETTER AND STRESS FREE!!!.😮.....GOOD JOB 👍 😀
Great job!! I like the wat you have been splitting the videos between different jobs. I also liked the music in this one!
Glad you enjoyed it
14:33- Tom, what happened to the rule that concrete shouldn't be poured in contact to organic material (i.e. plywood/OSB)???
Buggies are a lifesaver..for sure...edging stoops , stairs is very nice...formwork is JUST SO ...ETC... Another neat sweet job..
Thanks 👍
Here’s an idea for you . Get with a screw manufacturer and have screws made that have a 3/8 ring about 1/4 below the head , like the old casing nails . So it holds your forms tight but you can’t sink the head and making it easy to remove. That idea might make you a millionaire.
That’s a great idea
They make duplex screws
I might suggest a water soluble oil (like Klean Kote or Zep products) to spray on your buggies. It will soften the old dry concrete and keep new form sticking. It is an extra expense but keeps things cleaner and easier to maintain.
Really good that you gave some tips for on-site admin. Too many really good tradesmen lose out (bankrupt or struggling) because they don't have good admin., and underestimate that paperwork-load and the taxman.
I was thinking the same thing about my buggies. A lot of wheelbarrows and endless pumps
Your work always looks first rate. I do have a question for my own edification: I’m a concrete contractor in Southern California, and we would not be permitted to allow that 4 x 4 post to come in contact with the concrete pier beneath it (I’m guessing the code prohibits this due to possible rot.). And it’s fairly dry here most of the time.
We use a piece of Simpson hardware (or equivalent) that we embed in the concrete pier that holds the wood post a quarter inch above the concrete. Very secure but no connection between wood and (often times wet) concrete. I don’t remember what part of the world you’re working in, but is the code different there?
Nice work Hauses❤❤
I make notes as well. I think it's so much easier and efficient to just check off a list of the work that you have and have not done the matter what it is
Summer is about over huh ?? Great job yall
Why is You Tube AWESOME ?!?!
Oh yeah because some people create content that is educational and informative.
NICE VIDEO
Thank you very much
I've worked both ends of the stick in concrete, former, laborer, finisher and cement truck driver. Everybody always states they want a nice tight mix. A requested 4" slump always gets to the jobsight at a soupy 6" slump and nothing is ever said about it. When it comes to pouring concrete, a certain level of ethical feeling must be in place.
Another awesome job Tom n crew you're work is a masterpiece
Thank you very much!
Good morning Tom and crew, another great job, hi Emily
The plants growing under the formwork is a nice touch.
Couple of questions...why don't you bevel the bottom of your 2x8 risers on a 45 degree angle to finish the tread a lot easier & why don''t you use form oil on all your forming?...unless I missed something.
I find it easier to follow bottom edge. We take off and clean the same day.
@@Concretewiththehauses Yes, but a 1 1/2" bottom edge width is a lot wider than an almost zero width.
We would strip forms sometimes, but in a lot of cases we were not able to strip forms and they would have to remain so I always beveled the bottoms of the 2x8 risers for a nice clean finish.
Never the less, you guys do very nice, quality work with excellent prep and construction forming techniques.
Thanks
Prep,pour and finish. You certainly have the Men and equipment
🥳🤠🤗 LOVED the toe tap intro music...... encore!!😊
You guys like always do some exceptional work 👏 What brad are the mats you use?
Hardworking men.
Awesome work from the best!
You got the old man screeding while the young guy bull floating theses young guys need to do the hard work
I’m a little surprised you don’t cover your walls a little more. And 45 your front step stringers to make it a little easier to finish out your bottom inside corners. I don’t envy you at all. You can have all the concrete work you want. 😅 I never had enough men. And the ones I had I had to tell them everything to do. 😖 Now being retired my knees are shot. 😢
holy chit ... thats awesome work man ... EXCELLENT!
Thanks a lot!
Lookin good when we did stuff like that instead of all that extra fill using concrete and extra weight we did what they call a lost deck by taking old or new form wood and build a box sorta living a 8-10" space all around for walls add re bar also we used Styrofoam and that never comes out . Most all the bridges see on the California are hallow and in the forming the deck or the roadway section is a lost deck type and that plywood and lumber stays in there you can walk through them I know I worked on them I know as I worked on them back in the 80s
Nice thanks
You guys do beautiful work, all the best from Australia 😊
as always you and your crew make it look so easy be safe god bless
Great job nice set up on the steps and walk. Have you ever used water reducer in your mix. Tony from Las Cruces NM
And it looks to me that the rebar just laid on the ground in all different jobs instead of app the middle of the slab.
Were you and your crew in the military? The way things are being ran it seems like it. Very efficient.
I think Jim was a navy man, but that’s it
Those steps are done so beautifully
If I had filmed all my concrete pours and put them on You-Tube I'd be famous and maybe rich too. I noticed there are not too many guys doing sea walls or bulkhead walls. I'd like to see someone do a vlog on stacked panel forms or Duraforms 12" thick and 10' high.
Running like a well oiled machine. Nice to watch people do excellent work.
Thank you very much!
One more thing, I had never seen one of those buggies before I stumbled across your channel - i’m contemplating buying one myself. And I know how much you like them as well. But man, for the steps and you too accessibility issues I would have definitely ordered a trailer pump. They are approx $500 for us to hire for the day - incl. an operator, which reduces our labor $$ considerably.
Wait until you see the next set of steps we pour with them coming soon
What’s the difference between a expansion joint and a control joint , they look pretty similar ? Awesome videos Mr Hause ! One of the best on UA-cam !!! Very informative
Very good question an expansion joint has an asphalt or rubber material separating the concrete a control, cut or joint is usually about 1 inch deep done with a tool while you’re finishing the concrete
@@Concretewiththehauses you could have explained that question a lot better than you did. You could have said that control joints are designed to crack in the control joint. But in most cases that does not always work.The expansion material is to allow the concrete to move and help to prevent cracking the concrete.
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always!!!
Thanks again!
I live in a seismic area of France, with very strong buiding regulation. In my region most houses and their garage are made of concrete. And while I am an amateur, my and my brother have done far more complicated concrete stuffs, with less tools.
A. Bevel on the bottom of those riser boards would allow you to fit your trowel inside there
You guys always make everything look so easy! Great job
Thanks so much!
Awesome work as always ❤
Thanks again!
Pretty cool to see the process
The theme song is so good, much better then before and much better then MOST UA-camrs. Our decision on weather to watch a video solely depends if we need to constantly adjust volume because of music being to loud.
Most UA-camrs don’t get that happy to see you guys do.
Do you have your crew warm up with stretches before doing these jobs? Seems weird but it works. 😊
Easy E is now a buggy driver good for him…..hey Tom you should have done a little dance move to the tune on the video
You guys do pour work but excellent results of teamwork. 👍
Tom, what’s the key to establishing the slight angle of incline that you want?
Again, good stuff ! love it !
I had some concrete work done, leading up to the front of my house, and the construction workers tilted the concrete towards the house and broke my foundation when were digging.
I hate hearing that
23:00, if he were to wet that edger to make it glide easier, does it hurt the concrete by making it weaker?
The idea is to push the stones deeper into the concrete and allow the fine material to come to the surface. There is plenty of moisture there already, it will come up when the stones go in.
Does your company do any work in the Michigan area? I am getting ready to build a new home and my wife and i like the work that we have seen you do. We have a large slab, some stamp concrete. Can you let us know. Thank you.
No sorry, just a little to far
But a lot of us can do this a lot more than you think!
Been doing this for forty years now retired, but the thing is I still can do this because of this jog I’m in great shape…
I heard you ask. What did we do before power buggy's? Didn't youns have pump trucks there?
good work
Another good job Tom. Are you pouring the Shower house pad for the Morgan's? Curious. ty for Bringing us along.
I find it easier to follow the bottom edge. we take off and clean the same day.
Sorry wrong comment. Haven’t talk to Mike for a couple of weeks if he needs me to I will be there.
I’d be more impressed if you back angled those risers.
I just don’t like doing that too hard to find the bottom edge
@@Concretewiththehausesit’s called not having the experience it’s easy to find, on your face board of each step put a cut at the bottom each board a 45 degree angle and there you go all set..easy since you have to strip the face board anyways to finish it off the way you guys do it is called being lazy and not experienced…..
I'm just wondering how come nobody is wearing any safety equipment?
Good job guys
Great job guys what’s the brand name of the dump buggies?
Good morning Major Tom 😊😊😊
Wish I had a nickel for every wheelbarrow load I wheeled,I’d have a hell of a big pile. But I always enjoyed concrete work.
You and me both!
The sound of a mixer mixing on the job is money in your pocket...
why no pins between tying the old and new together? why felt joint on the first job but not on the second one?
Buggy moving cement I remember wheelbarrowing and went for a nose dive and then I was covered in cement head to toe and had to get hosed down in cold 🥶 weather ❤😊😮
Nice the good all days
Instead of edging bottom of stoops, i use a 45 degree chamfer strip there
Hello from ARKANSAS. How do you,Jim, Steve or anyone working the straight edge keep the concrete level? I have always seen or have had to use the drag board (straight edge) long enough to go from edge to edge to try and keep the concrete level.
good work, pro
Nice Vid!
Thanks
I live i CA and have a patio with spots of spalting (i think thats what it iscalled) is there a fix or will the concete need to be replaced?
There are some fixes, but most likely needs removed and replaced
A concrete pump would work just as well
you did lift the rebar but not on all the slabs i see
Concrete uses round shovels plastering uses square shovels. I can see square shovels in concrete has a purpose.
That’s a lot of weight on that stoop and steps hopefully over time the basement wall or crawl space doesn’t start to collapse in word seen this happen many times because of all the weight.
As usual, residential concrete contractors have no idea how to use rebar.
You do it wrong, but at least you folks try.
NIce work !
Seems like you guys ha e been doing a bunch of add on style jobs lately. They cant get enough concrete
90% of flat worker’s edge their porches! It’s stander procedure.
That’s OK I know what works for us
Does concrete dry or does it cure?
That is a debate
Need to put ya blade on front of those buggies. Dump and push it flat so them fellas don't have to take and shovel so much!!!
Reminds me of Bubba Gump talking about shrimp...
"You have.. cement stairs, cement driveways, cement patios, cement sidewalks. cement parking lots... etc etc"
Reminds me of Gary Busey talking about buttered sausage
