Brad hubby and I are happy you have a hard hat on this time lol when we watched that video hubby said I can’t believe brad isn’t wearing a hard hat!! Who says we don’t need men lol I seen a video recently of young girls being asked if women needed men. I told hubby yes women need men who would open lids for me ❤love your videos amazing what these builders do!!

Hi Brad , A concrete slump test is a routine procedure carried out on a fresh concrete mix to determine its consistency before it is poured. Nothing to do with strength. Awesome video..
Hey Brad, I appreciate the effort put into this video. Wanted to let you know, that there are several parts of this video that your voice peaks (sounds static-y) in this video and with the mic you're using (DJI yeah?) that shouldn't be happening. you may need to mess with setting a bit and do some test recordings to get the right mix of options, but it'll be worth the effort in the long run
Love your videos. You should tell flair to put in a small solar system on the hatchery. It would help him save some money. And help him keep it clean and up and running right. Can’t wait to see your house done
We poured 75,000 Sq ft a day for a 1,000,000 Sq ft building for General Motors. The only difference is we had a on site batch plant. The local concrete company said that was the only way they could keep up. Traffic in Detroit would have caused to many delays resulting in cold joints, which were not allowed obviously.
That guy holding that huge saw up as he cut the rebar from those boxes, as well as the guys puddling the concrete, made my back hurt just watching him! Oh, wait... my back hurts all the time, haha! Sure wish I had a good excuse like them for it though! Heather🇨🇦
Outhouse for a cement truck. That's a new one 😁 You do not want to try swimming in that cesspool, or any cesspool. I'm just saying.... Thank you for the video it was interesting. Great job y'all.
We are about to do a 22,000 CY POUR. 800 trucks of concrete with 150 trucks running. 8 concrete plants. 1000 tons of rebar placed. 4 pump trucks with two trucks per pump feeding. Gonna be a long day.
I don’t know if your 2000 likes threshold gave you enough safety margin Brad - think you may have a chance of going for a swim 😂 Thanks for your Vlog - I am a building surveyor here in Melbourne Australia on large commercial projects. A building surveyor/certifier is similar to your council inspectors there in the states. Here in Australia certification was privatised back in 1990. I assess jobs against Australian and state building code, issue the building permits when the design is ready, then undertake the progressive and mandatory inspections during construction, and then finally at the end of the project once construction is finished and compliant issue and Occupancy Permit. Anyhow I’m enjoying learning about American construction practices 😊
There's no set number of trucks cause it all depends on the plant. Where I'm at in Michigan we have from dumpers and the trucks can hold 10 yards to not be over weight but most of the plants will squeeze 11 yards on each truck for pours like this or even if you have like a 10.5 yard pour they will throw 11 in the truck.
This was cool to watch. I follow a channel called Victory Outdoor Services. Ryan is the owner and his concrete company does mainly residential concrete - driveways, decorative patios, garage floors, etc. etc. He'll add in the odd parking lot here and there. It's neat to see what is the same or similar to his methods. I'm no expert at all, but if I've paid attention I'm going to say that a truck can hold 8-10 cubic yards of concrete. So, for 530y of concrete for a building like this, I'm going to say he had 61 trucks. I expect to be off by a mile, but wanted to hazard a guess. I won't be coming back in to edit this so if I'm wrong, I'm wrong and that's ok. Nice seeing ya, Brad. Heather🇨🇦

That was a very good guess… The trucks whole 10 yards and there were 53 trucks
They only use Laser Screeders for the interior Floor before the Walls are Blocked Up.
Who's Eliza Street inside to just leave an opening in the block work for the trucks and equipment to come in and out
I think it’ll probably be about 60 trucks for all that mud 👍🏻
Close…56
Is there no rebar in the floor other than the perimeter?
You’re correct only around the perimeter at the second slab is the rebar… They poured it over crushed rock
I think I just heard you doing your flooring test in flairs video he just posted.
When I was shooting my gun???
Hi Brad, great video as always. Question for you I was curious with the concrete and trucks and labor. What would the cost for a pad that big.
I’m guessing that’s close to $3 a square foot
Just the cost of concrete from the batch plant will be close to that.
I misunderstood you. I believe they charged me around $6.50 square foot labor and materials.
