@RJCAM2020 G M is definitely correct. Concrete has to go through a slump test and this is very wet mix, you could use a vibration tool but its kind of like using a vibration tool in a milkshake, there really aren't that many voids to remove.
Morning josh well the shop is coming along that will be up before you no it going to be a big place at least you will beable to put all your stuff in the shop and they will be safe you are getting there josh be safe untill next time.
Chandler Concrete is one of my customers, I install the automation systems on concrete plants around the country. Can't wait to see the slab being poured.
I’m a retired NYC concrete laborer! And I watched my brother in law drive a concrete buggy on the edge of the decking on a 65 story high rise! Lol seeing those things brought back memories!👌👍✌️🇺🇸
great job Josh we just pour 120 yard for a red Irion building 85x40 with 20 foot lean-to's with 4x4x4 piers, I had to elevate our building due to future storm flooding in the RGV. You are probably looking at 86 to 88 more yards good luck. we had been waiting ourselves for several years for our build. Congratulations it feels great to get it done.
Josh. I’m a retired construction superintendent pouring the footings first is the best way. Lock the anchor bolts in place. Then come back to pour the slab. Your bolts will be dead centers not all over the place. Looking great. From my hill top in. Sc
For sure. It’s been decades since I helped my dad who was a builder with a concrete pour. Get it set up right. The big bolts set in the concrete look strong.
Really looking good Josh, you have a whole lot of engineering going on there. Really looking forward to seeing your shop finished, and see how you organize your tools and equipment. Good Job! 👍
Heck yeah, when I was pouring walls and concrete construction we always tried to get the owner to go ahead and have the plumbing in the floors just in case they decide they want a sink, bathroom or shower. Even if they don't and sell their property the plumbing makes the building worth more money to the next owner. Take care, be safe, and have fun regardless.
It looks like those guys are doing a nice job for you! They seem to have it all nail down! I can't get over seeing a footer that shallow. Our frost line is over 2 feet deep so our footers have to be at least 3 feet deep at the shallowest part of the footer.
Very cool to see the concrete poured…just two hours?! Wow!! Nice video with the drone footage, too. It’s one thing to have a plan, but it’s another to have a great plan and great execution. You’re doing great things, Josh. I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of the concrete pour when the time comes and wondering how the finishers smooth out that gigantic-sized pad. It’s like icing an enormous cake, ha! Cool video!
Nice!!! We do it a little different, never poured footing first on a slab for mono pour. Usually pour the whole thing. We just finished a 65 x 120 with 14’ eves. Tractor and equipment barn for one of the Native American reservations. Mueller steel buildings is what we use mostly but have used steel master and Magnum steel. It’s gonna feel like a stadium there Josh but they fill up quick let me tell you!!!!
Great video. Nice that the foundation pads don't have to be that deep. Up where I am at (outside of Duluth, MN) I have to go down 60" when I build my shop.
Going to be a great shop!! BUT if It was my shop, and I was there, at the 7:55 mark, when the buggie driver dumped and slammed the crete in and moved the rebar cage, and into the form, they would have stopped on the spot! Redone everything, sent that truck home, and started over!!
Lol I’ll bet you would. I agree that was a bit of a hard dump but you aren’t sending 15 men and 5 concrete trucks away because one little support turned over buddy
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer You want to bet on that? What happens, or who is going to pay when your beams don't line up and fit correct? You are!!!!! Not the the cheap labor driving the buggie! I watch all you videos, and have for a long time, but do me a favor, don't complain if there is a issue, please. Just mention this post. Thank You Josh, you do well, just looking out for the good!, Nothing to lol about
@@davidlang576 it's a good point, sir. I'll just say that for anybody trying to get something done right now, it will be so much more difficult. Even more than usual, at every turn and step in the build the owner is going to have to make value judgments. This crew was surely not the highest bid and with that may come some extra effort on the back end. The what looked to be about 12" slump gave me a twinge for the whole placement. But in the end, I think it will all work out and Josh will be able to tackle whatever lies ahead. We'll get to see as it happens...! 😁 cheers men and well wishes!
Watch the anchor bolts. The stayed right where they were supposed to. Also they later picked up and dropped the bolts to get rid of any air pockets. You can’t sweat the small stuff. That pier is so over engineered that you could lose 50% of the rebar and still be way over uplift capacity. If were talking door casing sure, don’t be so rough. But with these footings , get them filled!
I doubt if you would sent all those guys home.. Shit happens on pours. Would of cost more money.. For sure your not getting any money back from the concrete company. Worst you maybe fired the guy who did it. Take a deep breath address the situation .. Hold one of the trucks back.. Have the guys fix it or block it off counting with pour.. How do I know? it happen to me.. ✅✅💯💯.. Cost me about 600 bucks.. and I still bought lunch..IJS
You should edited in a whole crowd of people saying wooo on the second time you said it. I just didn’t feel like their hearts were in that wooo lol 😝 your house is coming along… good job .. dedication!
These are real working men that don't play beta male games from a "youtube personality". They just get the job done. And they don't take lip off females either.
It funny when ever u pictures a building in your head it looks a lot bigger in your head than it is in rill life at least that the way it is for me ever time I build something that how it is for me
I would definitely make accommodation for bathroom and floor drains. Also surprised this was not a monolithic pad, footings and floor together in one pour since it is for a steel building. Looks good.
Hey Josh! What is it about "Construction" that is SO relaxing and almost hypnotic?! Like everything else in Life, a firm foundation is necessary, before starting the building! Congrats!
It isn’t relaxing when you are doing it. It’s hard work. Though the three wheel dump trucks make it look like a lot less work than using wheel barrows.
@@kdegraa I have been on the "business end" of a shovel and spade while digging trenches. I know that every inch is hard earned with sweat and effort. Yet... I am reminded of the old joke, "Work intrigues me. I could watch other people do it for hours and hours."
The Guy running that little truck with concrete. The first dump in the footer. Knocked the rebar off center in that corner. I hope he didnt knock the bolts off by dumping it way too fast..UGH..Hopefully they readjusted that corner because the whole thing moved...Just wondering if you seen that Josh. Other then that one thing Its looking good.
I hope someone was paying attention and pulled that first footing back into position after the concrete pour guy pushed it around. Luckily the bolts were braced externally and stayed in position. I would have expected a deeper pier footing, but if it’s signed off then that’s all that matters. The Germans have developed a neat way of saving on concrete by inserting plastic balls in a grid pattern between two fixed rebar grids. Just when you think there is only one way to do something, along comes a better idea… 😬 This is going to be great to have an inside space to work in. Are you planning on putting a vehicle lift in there? Might need the rebar placing before you pour that pad, it’s easier to do that now and not need it, than to do it later. I was expecting to see you plan one for the building as you have so many farm trucks needing maintenance now, Andrew Camarta is always using his. Actually a hoist might be useful too, tractors are heavy machines
It's gonna be great for you to finally get this finished I remember you talking about this in some of the first videos that I watched. By the way I noticed on the first corner when the concrete was dumped that it moved the corner grid a t least it looked like it, nice video.
How much is a yard of concrete nowadays? If the concrete is 6 inches thick and the building is 112ft x 56ft it will take a little over 116 yards of concrete.
The drum spins on to concrete truck so the concrete dont separate. Actually the faster the drum spins the concrete will harden faster. This is because of the heat from friction.
I'm happy that you can build the building. I noticed that you used Chandler concrete.... Their cost of concrete is usually about 1/3 more expensive than most concrete companies
I didn't see anyone using a Vibration tool to ensure the Air Pockets are expelled on the Footings.
Is that due to the thickness?
Shallow footings. These aren't formed walls.
@RJCAM2020 that's pretty wet concrete poured during the cooler parts of the year and you can see there is no open cavities where air can be trapped.
@RJCAM2020 G M is definitely correct. Concrete has to go through a slump test and this is very wet mix, you could use a vibration tool but its kind of like using a vibration tool in a milkshake, there really aren't that many voids to remove.
WoooooooooooooHeeeeeeeeeeeHeeeeeeeeeee!!!Alright!!!!!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗

Was hear
Wooooooo!
Hi.... Josh, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🏡🎥👍👍👍
Hey Josh thank you for the video and at least you're getting her done and that is a good thing woo just a lot of money but you don't have a choice
Awesome Josh I'm happy for you buddy
In Concrete We Trust
That's a nice size of building
LOOKS Great...
You really needed this!
I just found your channel yesterday but really like it. People like u inspire me to make better concrete videos! Thanks guys, BTW great video
welcome to the channel brotha!
Wow that will be an awesome shop
Killer shop looks good
Good start on getting thing solidified!
Ok, I’m ready for the next pour.
Wow ,
family will soon find you relaxing in your favorite shop recliner,enjoying the shop. 👍
Hey Josh 👋everything is looking great wooo. 👍
One step forward. I am loving to see it come together.
Thanks Tony! You'll have to come by sometime and see it for yourself buddy!
Nice American built Multiquipt tools as well.
Chandler Concrete is one of my customers, I install the automation systems on concrete plants around the country. Can't wait to see the slab being poured.
It's awesome to see your dreams coming true Josh. You've been talking about this for years. Congratulations my friend.
The rebar supports are called chairs and the rebar grid’s are called mats typically
Man josh I can't wait to come see your shop and be able to give u a hand working I'm saving my vacation for the stoney ridge farm 🇺🇸
You are building a great legacy. 👍
Georgia Buggies!
Looks good , Josh, my prior lofe as an Engiineer for Exxon/ExxonMobil ,in charge of Construction and Environmental for service stations

Looking good
Great idea to plan ahead with the plumbing. I wish I had added plumbing before the concrete was down in our 40x60.
The 1 thing I wish I did was put an outlet in the center of mine. One of those..."damn, too late" kinda things. Wish I suggested it before this 😌
like awesome
I gotta admit, I'm a little jealous, that is going to be an awesome building 😎
Hope so!
Looking Josh huge building
Really wet mix there...4/5 slump, but that will help it run. Haven't seen one of those 'Georgia buggies' moving concrete in a while.
Very cool seeing the process, thanks Josh! Woooo!
Thanks Doug!
Congratulations Josh!.. I know you have to be excited getting these first stages of construction started on the Mega Shop!
New shop is looking awesome so can't wait for floor pour and building it keep up the good work
Lots of difference between an agricultural building and a residential building
Moving along nicely Josh. Things are not cheap anymore and only going to get higher in costs. Be safe out there, farmer rod
Wow, Josh that was very interesting. Very structurally sound. That much concrete, nothing dhould ever move it. Gonna be a great shop.

Lotta mud being poured there Josh. Looks like the crew had their act together. Shop will be HUGE when you are done.
Loving the progress you're making!
Hi Josh,been following along,Ed from Vermont
Really looking good Josh, you have a whole lot of engineering going on there. Really looking forward to seeing your shop finished, and see how you organize your tools and equipment. Good Job! 👍
Looking good Josh! Won’t be long before the building delivers and we’ll be setting steel.
Thanks Toby! I'm ready for ya....but my bank account keeps saying "OUCH!" lol
Josh, looks like your shop is on a great start. It’s gona be fun watching the floor being poured. Good luck!
You’re off to a great start! It’s gonna be an awesome “mega shop”! Take care and I’ll see ya on the next one…
Congratulations on getting your shop built

Mono the best way.. 💯💯
A huge investment & improvement. Most farms of a few hundred acres have nothing like this though not many farmers have a global following.
That’s going to be one heck of a nice shop !!
Looks great man!
Great video. Nice that the foundation pads don't have to be that deep. Up where I am at (outside of Duluth, MN) I have to go down 60" when I build my shop.
yep....MN is a far cry from NC...it's COLD up there my friend!
That power Georgia Buggy makes it easier. We either had to use ones you had to push or chase it in troughs.

You need one of those wheel barrows on your farm, looks handy.
Josh, you are going to have an assume shop when finished, and a great addition to the farm. 👍
No vibration of the footings?

The inspector does not need to see the piping now buried in concrete before getting the permit?
Did you need a permit for the footing and pour?
50' x 112' x 6" gives you about 104 cubic yards of concrete according to the online concrete calculator. That is a big building.
Not including footings
I would definitely make accommodation for bathroom and floor drains. Also surprised this was not a monolithic pad, footings and floor together in one pour since it is for a steel building. Looks good.
Surprised no gravel and plastic under the concrete. Just on the dirt.
Poultry porcessing center
That would drive me crazy, rebars were moving all over the place.
Always said concrete was probably one of the most important inventions.It and wireless communication.66 thou no wonder they call it a pour.
In Colorado the footer depth has to be 36'' minimum, surprised how shallow the footer is.
Frost line here is 18 inches
Are you putting in a floor drain
4 of them

lol....aggregate not rock, soil not dirt, tyre not tire? Man...we could go on for days brotha lol
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer haha
I would have set aside an area with a underground storm shelter/safe area close to the outer wall for easy escape just in case.....you never know.
Water table is too high my friend. But I’ve got a plan. Trust me 😉
You should do things Vets
It's gonna be great for you to finally get this finished I remember you talking about this in some of the first videos that I watched. By the way I noticed on the first corner when the concrete was dumped that it moved the corner grid a t least it looked like it, nice video.
Concrete definitely will make a man out of you it's definitely a get in to shape job if you want to work
Are you going to put in the iron in the floor
Fun fact, a job that size we do with two guys.
I’ll bet
Oh that’s nothing. I can do it by myself and run the concrete truck at the same time.😁
Why did they pour the footings first? When they poured my 50x85 they did it all in the same day.
Howcome they used the mechanised wheelbarrows over a pump truck?
they own the mechanized wheelbarrows.....and the pump truck costs $$$
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I have never seen anything like it in Australia. We use pump trucks for everything from what I've seen. It's interesting.

all of the pramides witch holds the re bars are gone by flooting the concrete into the channel....are these not secured in the ground?
Josh, thanks for posting this. I am about to build my new workshop also, but I did not know the process. How did you find the concrete contractor?
i would ask the CONCRETE COMPANY ! They know them ALL !!
I'm happy that you can build the building. I noticed that you used Chandler concrete.... Their cost of concrete is usually about 1/3 more expensive than most concrete companies
Rebar is measured in 1/8 intervals, so a 5/8" rebar would be #5. Food for thought an Iron worker would call it #5.
Chairs
Hopefully it is taller than 13'6 if You ever need to get a big truck in there
