- Join the concrete crew as we finish up the 100 yard driveway. I'm not real comfortable with the concrete so far and hopefully we can get it figured out before the temperatures start to rise. This was a roller coaster of a day emotionally as I thought things were all good with the city until I found out they were not! ENJOY

Big shout out to Francisco, just what i call a steady Eddie. No dramas, always there, quietly gets about his work. Him and Bugs dovetail well. Just a good solid reliable worker
Excellent comment. Was thinking that the other day.
Franny is BETTER whenever Eric ISN'T working ...... (which is "pretty often" .... )
@@Patrick-sn3bb Agree 100%
I agree
Fact
The guy that runs the engine is the ENGINEER. And that was Me. At 2:15 or so. Good to see Ya again!!!
Such a Legend thank you MR ENGINEER
I run locomotives in 🇨🇦 I was just going to say the same thing we are we call ourselves Hoggers lol
No way u operate trains that's so sick dude!!! Please post some videos dude!
Thank you for this I tried correcting him in the other video when he talked with you lol, hows life over at the UP? You guys experiencing furloughs like we are at the BN?
that is so cool. Such a cool job to have
Seeing bugs back is awesome
Bugs is a tone setter. Everyone works better when Bugs is there.
He’s the perfect team leader. Ryan’s the boss but guys like Bugs are what the young guys try to imitate to become the boss! Bugs has been a great addition back these last couple of videos
You guys don't see it all
@@Nate_E TRUE Fact !!!
@@Eddavids2 see what.......your mom on her back?
Bugs is a true old school legend. Hope we see more of him in the future
Legend
He’s great
Yes bugs is great for his age. I am about the same age and still in construction but can't work as he does
Not likely
Watching from Ireland from way back, I've worked concrete in Chicago for few years, and I'm telling you right now I would much prefer Bugs standing beside me ,t
Than in front of me.......that's in work and in life.......man's a good one,..I'm older than Ryan but younger than Bugs.......Bugs is a good honest to god head down worker.......Ryan I no your paying the bills, but Bugs in solid! 100% respect to all you boys, but Bugs I got your back.
Bugs is such a good hard worker and a great role model to the rest of the crew . ❤️👍👍👍
If a felon and drug addict is a role model...
@@Mr_Zimmstarting rumors?
@@nick843 he talked about it before.
Who cares about the past. He's clearly changed and brings alot of experience and knowledge to the crew. I'm sure the crew respect and appreciate his input and values as does Ryan !
@Mr_Zimm is an angel 😇🙏😇. AReal Role Model .😅😊
A guy like bug's is a huge asset on the job
Nah
He’s had a substance abuse issues and a hot head . Also a convicted felon…….
@@nastynas9610 mind your business bro holy 💩 y’all some lil chirping birds spreading peoples business
Ryan, I first offered my assistance with obtaining your permits when you first started your journey, and would like to offer them again I do commercial permitting as a living and would argue that we can bring the necessary parties together and obtain an understanding to get your permits. I would be happy to provide references of other commercial projects that I obtained approval on as the applicant. Hope to hear from you soon if not best of luck on your journey. Working with the city and following up can be time consuming and exhausting, particularly when things get difficult. Hope you keep with it as it can be an amazing opportunity for you, your team, and your family.
😂
If you're serious about that, I would suggest sending him an email with more info. It's much more likely to get his attention than a comment here, plus you can actually add info to show that you're real.
I love how much the Engineers on the local trains love to talk to you! So cool!
read the top comment :)
It always amazes me how the cities and towns want to attract businesses and yet they make things so hard and complicated. Kudos to you Ryan and all the business owners who are persistent and stick with your plan. To me it's nothing but a money grab for these cities!!! Keep the faith!! Thank you for the video!!
Any more every thing is about waste water and rain water and keeping it out of the drinking water supply and overwhelming the storm sewer system! Surface water management !
@@tnolan3176 we all drinking everyday. Just a matter of how its treated
@@markadams5429storm water management is pretty important to the ecosystem. When you build a building over 2500sf you gotta think water used to go in the grass and it'd be gone. Now thousands of gallons of water are coming out of 6 or 10 4" or 8" down spout pipes. Its gotta go somewhere. Thousand of gallons of water can't just gush out of a pipe in one area. Its gotta get spread out evenly into the environment so bugs and trees and grass can use it :)
Having started my career as an Electrical Engineer at an independent governmental agency before transitioning to the private sector, I can throw in my two cents.
As Ryan mentioned, it's essentially an Engineer vs Engineer dispute. The city engineer likely aims to cover all bases for liability concerns, given that their stamp goes on the final as-builts and they must comply with regulatory oversight. Conversely, the engineer from the design firm Ryan hired likely juggles multiple small projects and prioritizes completing them to meet certain expectations.
Typically, engineering firms are the ones chasing the money as the company's job security hinges on project completion. In the end you have two organizations with conflicting agendas which results in the customer, Ryan, being the one who gets burnt.
bro tinos been soo funny and positive and consistent and just working hard, freaking love the guy
Bro got a free car he better be lol
@@faidedxx3743 it was loaned but maybe they had a deal in the background.
@@faidedxx3743 He is paying Ryan back
LOL not free he has to repay, Ryan. Ryan just helping him out and helping himself as he doesn't need to worry about Tino getting to work.
@@faidedxx3743 before the free car, he was finding ways to still get to work while being positive.
every time Ryan puts the trash away keep thinking hes throws the cat away lol and its nice to see Bugs back
I've thought that several times 🤣🤣
I thought that one time lol
Yeah one time I was watching and he lifted his cat to the perfect height of when he threw away the bag and I for sure thought he just yeeted his cat in the trash.
Secretly hates the cat 😁
I see that to, there goes Annie in the garbage. lol
I have worked in construction for commercial jobs like your building for 9 years, dealing with cities, towns, and everyone in between and I have figured out that if everyone put their ego away it would make every job so much smoother, quicker, and more enjoyable to work on. Not to be negative but it just seems to be getting worse as the years go on.
I am so glad I live in a city that is pro-growth. We even get weekly updates on the news about where building permits are total project sizes, etc. Updates from the city on big projects being planned. Long term road maps, etc. I'm sure there is still politics going on, always is. But at least the city's primary goal is not to shut down all development like some cities.
Politicians are bad enough but unelected bureaucrats are the bane of existence.
It's only gonna get worse in 2024 everyone thinks they are the main character and abuse even the slightest bit of power they get its a sad world we live in today
It's like old times with Bugs. He looks so relaxed and happy. Good for him man!
Ryan, I don’t know if you know this, but the auto generated closed captions for UA-cam put in applause every time you drag the float on the concrete. It cracks me up like you’re doing a live show and people are just losing it because you’re floating.
Ryan: “Morning fellas!”
Turkeys: “morning, morning, morning, morning, morning, morning, morning!”
Francisco, good job pushing through and continuing to Grow. Happy to see bugs backs, it’s nice to see him back and In a much better mood. You should come back part time.
The joints on the circle area came out looking great.
Ryan, those joints are a thing of beauty! Good work!
I know nothing about pouring concrete but these videos are so fascinating to watch. Good work.
Man, I love your videos regardless, but seeing Bugs back even part time is just awesome! He has really been missed!
Nice seeing bugs back ,hard to even tell Eric's not there
Bugs is the man. Hes an asset to the company.
The Concrete Plants are substituting fly ash and other chemicals to use instead of the costly cement powder and the finishing suffers 🤗
Bugs in a second video in a row is amazing. So happy to see him. He's the crew leader you need with the experience to not only run the site but teach and motivate the guys all while you step back and see the big picture of the whole job.
However he wasn't very motivating ... And he's a tad bit racist with the 3 amigos.
You’ve got not a clue about running a company and morale
@melissav3
🤦♂️🤣
Ryan is a small business owner that want to charge union scale! Then pay his employees like their part time! Hes pocketing all their wages.
@@melissav3244everyone is racist
You really are a master of your craft Ryan you always give it 100% and it dosent go unnoticed.
Nice seeing bugs back!
The old saying is, if you want something done right you’ve got to do it yourself. I can imagine the frustration your feeling that you had a great conversation with the city engineer and your civil engineer took a wrecking ball to that relationship.
Engineers tend to have big egos and that might be what happened. Good luck to you
bugs,whenever i see you in a vid its a different vibe with the crew,your one of a kind,and a pro worker
Ryan you may need to get a third party review for your storm water, I know my city requires that for all projects. That keeps things fair, otherwise you have a city engineer basically making up rules based on his opinion. If you have 2 licensed engineers saying yes the plans meet code then it's much harder for them to deny you
Definitely one of my favorite channels..keep up the amazing work..and God bless u guys and your family
So much more efficient and relaxed with an adult on the job...thanx Buggs!
So glad to see bugs back
$500/ month for showing up on time. You're very kind. Thanks for the Fri video
Facts 6k a year bonus just to be on time
@@HoldupW8 Yeah, I'd be on time every day even if I broke my leg falling out of bed . lol
This hurts people like me who are always early anyway coz that's just the way I am 😥 like "should I just be late every day for a month and maybe they start to pay me for doing what I was doing in the first place" 😂
RIDICULOUS!!! UNHEARD OF!!! INCENTIVE?? I thought that was a PAYCHECK!!
right! my boss would send me home if i was 1 minute late. Ryan is a good boss
You should do a mural on the back that says "Train is here!!!"
That building is owned by Milwaukee, I'd put a massive Dewalt logo.
@@caden01691 great idea.. He could still caption it for the train conductor's sake.. 🚆 And I don't think Ryan has any issues with his original brand of tools. But you gotta take the money from those who are paying it. 🤷♂️
At a price
Those turkeys sound like Eric's laugh 😂
turkeys sound way more masculine than erica
We are having the same problems with engineers , conflict of personalities
sometimes people just cant agree and just move forward to get things rolling ,seems like a pride thing no one backing off,end of the day city signs off the permit .Know that saying when you married wife tells you somthing ,magic words is "Yes dear"
One thing we’ve learning building our new church is, give the city what they want without problems. Be flexible because they hold all the power. We got a new city inspector halfway through and he changed a few things and it was almost like he wanted to see how we would respond. We responded without attitude and it’s been fine ever since. The city can be finicky man.
I’ve dealt with the same problem. You will either have an inspector that is easy to deal with or an inspector that nit picks everything. It seems like inspectors are never on the same page.
I get the vibe you dont realize how powerful it is to have 5 toms power gobbling 15 feet away from you...during turkey season lol. Im a big time turkey hunter and that gave me goosebumps just watching from my recliner!
Just shows how many houses they're building taking the wildlife habitats away! Then the yuppies will complain about it!
No bonus for Eric
No surprise there.
That's the problem with starting a big business and working for someone else one of them will have to go if you only do small one day jobs you can work for someone else but it's impossible to work two full time jobs at the same time you will burn yourself out and start cutting corners and giving yourself a bad reputation
"My mom can make a good molè with turkey turkey molè" tino funny af
Absolutely love seeing Bugs back!!
6 grand extra a year in bonuses for respecting a good job by showing up on time? Holy cow these boys have it made
More like 3000 they dont work all season
@@gardemeister
4k
8 month season.
@@User-yy6xt if these guys do this for 20 bucks an hour they are certifiably insane
Looks spectacular Ryan. Maybe the CEO will give you a little bonus. Very professional and always clean up . Your workers would do well to try and copy your work ethic and professionalism if they want to have any chance of copying your success !
I wish there's more people in the world like you!
This is one of the best crews you've had in a while, I mean ofc there's mistakes here and there but there's always going to be, hope this crew stays the same for abit and hopefully bugs will come back,I miss seeing jade in the vids but have a good day/night and easyyy moneyyy
Thanks for the constant motivation, I love watching the boys work!
Good to see Bugs. I can tell he's a solid dude...
Buggs is looking so much healthier this time round!
I was saying that to. Being away from stress helps a lot
I dont know...I see some sadness in his eyes... He is not the same...but anyways...good to see him back on video!
Be awesome to see bugs back full time
He will be, Ryan & bugs are taking things slow right now. Since it’s been months that bugs worked for him:
I think he will be back on big jobs. Crew is awesome. Eric dealing with his fam issues or what I heard was he cheated on his wife. Not sure if true but she is the one who posted it on his page.
Ya I can see Ryan and Bugs work out anything that's left to be clean up. But 100% be great to see this crew all back together. I hope the
Eric rumour isn't true he's an awesome dude and so driven to provide for his family
@@pjallen4568
It's not a rumor if she posted the screenshot
@@thejoke2791 where did she post it. What's her instagram?
Nice seeing Bugs ❤😅
I really like how your joints around the circle looked. I never realized that there was that much into laying out joints.
Glad to see Bugz make a cameo appearance , I would run a electrical line to the circle .
its good to see Buggs back
I gotta be honest its been really nice to see bugs on your videos again.
Look at old bugs go leanest and fittest out the whole bunch and the oldest old school rules. 🇬🇧
Its really nice to see Bugs back on the mud.
Happy Friday everyone, have a good weekend
Thanks you too!
Here in texas when we pour in the summer time we go in between 12-2am because that summer time heat kills you. Pouring 20+ trucks in the summer time ain’t no joke. Good work 👍🏽
Mr. Ryan
Take a deep breath relax a bit things will fall into place. It always seems to work out. I have been in similar situations (3) times with the building the permits and the engineers. I can tell you have a lot invested and when these guys are tweaking it throws you into a frenzy. Good things happen to good people and you are just that so don’t let these city employees throw you for a loop everytime they change their mind. I know it hard not to when things are straight forward and you are doing all you can do. KEEP THE FAITH.
That train on the back of the yard is so cool, i’d love to just watch them come and go.
You should have a pocket thermometer and get in the habit of checking temp on every load. You'll be surprised in what you see somedays...... I've had 10-20 degree differences in loads which is huge for concrete with set times and water demand.
As far as I can see, your jointing design is 100%. It’s going to be a beauty!
Wow!! That came out SUPER NICE! It was hard to envision the joints when you were laying it out, but it came out awesome!
I used to be a mason tender and i know mortar is diffrent from concrete. When we used to mix in the winter and early spring we would use warm water and it would make it set faster. Maybe thats what they are doing and why it sets up quicker. Im probably wrong lol but maybe a theory.
Best of luck with your project, I am sending all my good vibes, dealing with bureaucracy must be frustrating.
I hope you revisit this site in the future and update us on the Driveway! It will be beutiful
Ryan congratulations on the 500k! Must feel amazing knowing when and where you started to get this far. I just made it to 30 subs and it makes me feel like I’m getting somewhere!
Anyone that's had long time friends knows that sometimes you just spend too much time together and need a break. They become family and you don't get rid of family. Ryan and Bugs just needed a break.
I am pushing 66 and still a carpenter/ contractor ( a solo business so I work). I am so impressed with Bugs he is a machine. Ppl don’t understand us guys can not quit our retirement has been obliterated by this clown in WH ! So I am thankful God is keeping me healthy! So thankful! I can still keep up with the young guys and love the work! In fact I enjoy work?
My neighbor is younger than me and retired? All he does is golf? He starting to look like a golf bag!
watching your videos have motivated me so much and i just love you and your crew. I hope you guys have a great weekend.
That's an amazing driveway, Ryan. Great job! I cant wait to see the rest
Perfect, video launched just in time for my coffee 🙌
Congrats on 500 K 👍
Probably that's why it was for sale and looking how it was looking when you bought that. I will not be surprised if there is someone else eyes on land who will get permission next day.
Keep up and keep update about land 🎉
Yea the city!
Ryan, your a legend. Started watching this recently, inspired me to start doing a lot more joints in my concrete and make that easy money. Cool to see people with a passion. Keep it up.
Really glad Bugz is back for a while
I haven’t had to get a permit yet for the 60x80 I put up. Man it’s nice not living in a city
Wow that's a lot of concrete, the most I ever poured was 17 yards...I run a small business, I got 2 guys that work for me..we do everything, I am a master painter, and concrete is my second favorite trade ..👍
I was with a crew that we poured 5,000 plus yards in one day. It was a massive footer and no concrete had to be finish just poured to grade.😁
@@Johnboy1951 👍👍, that's awesome
@@Johnboy1951what was it for?
Francisco is solid. Definitely best worker of the crew. Of course if bugs was here permanently that would be different but overall francisco is a great worker
Great to see bugs, that makes it real victory style to me!
calling it now. Bugs is back on the crew by the end of the season.
Maybe the man wants to retire and slow down a bit
Shouldn't have to work forever
It all will work out! Stay posative and hang tough!!! Keep up the great work Ryan!! Give a shout out to the Victory Gang!!!
Those joint layouts ended up looking GRRREAT!!!
Those lines you did are perfect fantastic job
there’s a hater at the concrete plant sabotaging your load every time, giving you more NCA and lower slump than what you are ordering.
Ya never know
Very possibly could be and it wouldn't surprise me
Hire bugs back Ryan it is great to see him back
I am amazed at how symmetrically appealing it all worked out. This is a job well done not matter which direction you look at it.
It’s soo good to See Bugs !! He needs to come back :) Ryan please bring him back as Right Hand man!
VICTORYYYY JUST DROPPED LETS GOOOOO
Bugz puts the young guys to shame good worker gland to see him back and he's got a better attitude ryan
Fact that you said I'm going to bring him in whether I need him or not just speaks volume your a great man. Prapyers to you your family and business. God obless brothaa!!
Business is running well, family’s healthy, life’s good. You have nothing to be stressed about my friend, just be patient with the new land, it will fall into place eventually.

Love how the joints came out 👌
I agree, looked real cool, the flow of them.
Really looking forward to seeing the end of this one. That place is going to look amazing when all of that concrete is in. Kudos to you and your crew.
