This video documents the challenges faced by a construction crew during a concrete pour for a large footing in the mountains. Initially, the plan went smoothly, but heavy rain and thunderstorms caused unexpected complications. The concrete truck had difficulty navigating the slippery terrain, and the site was flooded with water, threatening to undermine the rebar. The crew worked quickly to divert the water, clean the rebar, and use the remaining concrete efficiently. Despite the unexpected obstacles, they were able to complete the pour, demonstrating their expertise and problem-solving skills in the face of adverse weather conditions. The video highlights the unpredictable nature of construction work and the importance of adaptability on the job site.

Tried it and all I got was chinese junk that looked like it came from the dollar store...
I'm just imagining Arlo watching this video, with a nice cup of coffee in a warm, comfy chair
Oh Arlo is chillin'!
#missArlo
Cheers Arlo! Glad you're not in that muck
Mr Arlington hasn’t got time for any of that in retirement
😂😂
Holy crap! That guy driving the death star concrete truck! 😱 He was not going to get stuck on that mountain! 😂
The driver did exactly right, don't brake when the tires loose track. If the wheels are blocked you loose the ability to steer the vehicle, it will act like a sled. Let the wheels roll and you'll be able keep the vehicle on course.
wow, that was a hell of a day for all you guys! Love how everyone stayed positive and got the job done! very impressive
100%
I can’t for the next 100 episodes of this build
Concrete day is always the most stressful day on the site. Weather, truck timing, boom lengths, form work failing, crappy mixes, grumpy drivers, traffic. Keeping a good North Carolina happy attitude throughout the day…props boys.
"Shoveling sucks." Truer words have never been spoken.
It’s very subjective! Could also be enjoyable compared to other jobs on site that day 😂
Ask my wife.😂😂
My wife's father was a builder and a miner all his life. He was also a Seabee in WWII, building airstrips on Pacific islands. He's been gone since the 90's, so she loves your videos because they remind her of her father's stories. This episode was super dramatic, but even when the challenges are smaller scale, it's so reassuring to see people doing good quality work, supporting each other, and persevering when things don't go as planned. We've watched almost all your videos, at least one per day over lunch. Thank you!
"Zero to stupid like so fast..." I don't know how you guys stay so positive! Keep up the great work!
Those are some dang good cement truck drivers. Hands down. That company has the best drivers. 👌
That was insane. Thanks for the documentary! Holy crap
That was the craziest, most entertaining Perkins video ever. Well done boys!
Thanks Scott!! Was definitely in the top 10 of most challenging workdays of our career
Damn good job boys!You guys all did amazing! And the shot of the concrete pushing the water out deserves some kind of an award! No wasn’t an option today! ❤🇺🇸
That seems like it was a nightmare, you guys did a good job at handling it!
Love that you guys kept a positive attitude throughout the entire process and just worked around it and figured it out. True professionals.
Holy Hell. I can’t believe you guys stayed in such a good mood. Was Jono passing out gummy’s?
I have tremendous stress just watching this. Wow, glad you all made it with your zen intact.
First time mom and these videos helped me pass time putting together my daughters changing table and crib !! thanks guy... that rains is crazy tho!!!
I appreciate seeing what happens when unexpected crazy amounts of rain come. That was great, thanks for sharing.
Loved the drone video of the concrete truck!
Fun fact, I'm a local 310 Cleveland building trades laborer. Those front loader mixer cant deliver concrete in downtown because it's a union laborers job to place the concrete and those trucks take away a laborers job. Mumbo jumbo that been a thing since the 80s. When we work on the outskirts of town we get them. They are usually extremely good operators and frees up a hand for that truck. PS that hollow grade pin is a good idea. I'll definitely try that on our next footer.
I’m a young structural engineer and I love getting to see the on site side of how all this gets done.
I’ve done a few custom homes in y’all’s area so it’s cool to see some of the struggles and triumphs and imagine how my own projects are going!
Woah, PBB starts to get some Ice Road Truckers level intensity! U guys rock!
Front discharge concrete trucks. They're Oshkosh and they were $200,000 each a few years ago. The amount of air entrainment makes a big difference on concrete workability. Delvo encapsulates each cement particle keeping the concrete from interacting and depending on the dosage and temp of the concrete can put it to sleep for a while. Back when my concrete employer was experimenting with delvo we sold a load of delvo treated concrete to one of our good footing customers for half price. The concrete had too much delvo in it and the footing finally set up two weeks later.
I took a load of leftover concrete home with me for a footing and it took a day and a half to set up.
Building in the rain, a typical British Summer pastime. The times when we've built a wood/plastic sheet shelter, too numerous to count. The sane concrete guy was cool, the other concrete guy was possessed by the spirit of Evel Knievel. The gang sure earned their money. Jono's trick with Jaime's window, I recall doing it on an old Ford Anglia in 1972, time flies by. Take care and be safe 👍
You guys would like to pour out here in Phoenix. Only rains a few days a year and sunny and hot like 350 days a year. Only have to pour at 2am in summer because thats rhe coolest time to pour when its only 102 out
Watching this was downright stressful. Can't imagine going through it. Bravo you guys. 👏👏👏 Love seeing you work. Can't wait for the rest of this build.
Great stuff. Also I appreciate that y'all are family friendly my kids enjoy watching the process as well.
Wow, that was a hectic day! Loved how you solved the problems! That truck driver is indeed crazy!
Y'all really had to roll with the punches to get your concrete poured in this mess. Really impressive perseverance.
What a great testament to persistence and adaptability!
Wow, my heart sank for you guys when the rain rolled in! Great work sticking it out and making the best of the situation!
Dang guys... this one was tough to watch! This video gave us severe flashbacks 🤣
25:46 that look says everything!
your right on how to figure ow many yards
i also pumped concrete for Leon Crouse drilling, shoring, and pumping, my pump was bad ass, it took longer sometimes to switch trucks than it took to empty one, good times, let me tell you as a pumper it can get really tough on some jobs, I had blowout pumping big rock I know what concrete taste like, and why you all should wear safety glasses got it directly into my eye no chance to even blink I couldn't see for like almost a week but took like a week and half before i could see clearly again, any way love the footing nice and clean.
The concrete truck driver is really experienced, definitely a little on the crazy side and is packing a set of gigantic nads.
That’s an Oshkosh made in WI… Ive used them a lot for flat work and pumps…. Drivers love them.
Well done!! You guys turned a crappy hand into a positive productive day! &, Max, you'd be welcome on my team any day! You're not scared to muck in & get dirty on the worst jobs & still come out smiling! Good job all round, guys!! This one's going to be epic!
Your craziest episode yet. Can’t believe you kept your cool. Amazing to watch. Just an incredible episode, truly.
Aluminum reacts with concrete to produce hydrogen gas. It causes a bunch of bubbles in the concrete. Aluminum components that are embedded in concrete usually need a coating on them.
This... hopefully the brothers see this comment and don't try the hollow aluminum trick in the future.
WOW guys! That was a bit of a challenging pour for you all. What a crappy day it turned out to be. Good work! Australia is watching.
If Max the intern is a tobacco chewer, I hope you can talk him out of that habit. One of my co workers was chew guy, and he lost much of his jaw before he died of cancer. It's a nasty habit.
Yes to this!!
Not to mention the horror of LIVING with no lower jaw, teeth, and disfigurement. Added bonus is that his partner (girlfriend, wife, whatever) will want to vomit whenever he kisses them. Ugh!
Agreed! A friend of mine's grandfather had his entire jaw removed in an effort to save him from the oral cancer he got from chewing tobacco. It extended his life a few months at best, not that he had a decent quality of life after that.
I'm glad someone mentioned this, and others also commented, I was afraid if I was the only one to comment I'd get flamed, hahaha.
and millions of other people chew tobacco and smoke and never have any health problems.
seed oils, sugar, flouride and alcohol destroy your internal organs, so maybe you should focus on that
oh and the alcohol in mouthwash destroys the bacteria in your mouth that feeds the gut flora
stop judging people
Props to the pumper as well. I do concrete as well and understand how crappy of a day that was. A good pumper that will stick it out with you makes all the difference
Y'ALL are fantastic!!!
Eric, jamie, Jason and Ray , jono and the new guy got down and dirty on this job. Most contractors would left the area at first sprinkle. Awesome men.
You’ve got a taste of the rain? now make it 20° colder and dark…. Welcome to Norway!
What an Insane pour! glad to learn about a new concrete product for future pours!! The hollow tube stake idea is great. I'll be hitting up my elec contractor for his scrap galv 1/2 & 3/4" conduit tubes! even new those are super cheap, better than rebar.
Congrats! yall need a cold beer & warm soup.
Hats off to you guys. Pouring concrete is hard work on a good day. Y'all are now officially,,, Informed Noodlers! (I'll show myself out).
I’ve got to find that video of Max playing the banjo!
You all are killing it. So happy for you guys!
Here in SE Wisconsin that style truck is almost exclusively used. Great job guys your videos are always my first go to watch.
I'm liking how clean Jaime's truck is.
The more I watch this the more I'm grateful we use the metric system here, great work non the less.
I was on the edge of my seat. Heart thumping, psd sweating. Good workin. 🤙🏼
Back breaking work. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
Watching from a cruise ship…getting my Perkins fix on vacation
This was one hell of a working day! Its starting with a bang! i think it will be worth it. good job everyone :)
I really hope to see this series, gonna keep up with it!!! Great content❗️❗️
Great problem solving to reduce the amount of water buildup in footings
You guys are crazyyy! Thanks for these episodes. i love your videos
with having to deal with the rain you guys did great it turned out good mother nature can be rough sometimes
Nice to see everyone maintaining positive attitudes despite it being a rough day! There would have been some yelling on the Victory Outdoor crew by now, lol!
Holy Moly, what the heck did you guys have to put up with?! Massively impressed with the fortitude from you all.
The metric system makes everything so easy. 1 metre x 1 metre is 1 cubic metre. 4 metres x 5 metres x 100mm = 2 cubic metres
4-inch slump is usually the standard but go with 6 if you're filling the walls.
I love how detailed you jokers are!!!👍🏻
Front discharge trucks are the only thing we see around here (NW Ohio). I haven't seen a rear discharge in 30 yrs.
Oh my goodness that weather was unbelievable in the amount of rain in a short period of time. The driver was nuts 😅
Been there, done that many times. Mother nature cannot be predicted accurately. Y'all take care.
that was intense! especially on such a large project. well done and great content!
I wish they could have had the drone up when that driver went full send. Wow.
Cement mixer drivers are a different breed. They will do the craziest stuff to get the concrete where it needs to be
good work guys, that was a challenging one and you aced it.
Watching it in midnight while it is still morning in your country 🙂 was waiting for this video for 3 days
😮 whoooo ! Great work under crazy conditions
Sometimes there are days that I think a construction job would be more fun than my office job. This was NOT one of those days. Glad I’m dry and not digging mud with my bare hands.
WTHECK you are insane.... great builder and very bold i wish that i am more like you. pouring concrete in that cicumstances... WOW.... i would yust give up... but you... amazing
The front discharge concrete truck is all we ever use on the job sites I’m at.
Front discharge trucks are also all wheel drive which allows them to go just about anywhere
I love our temperate rainforest here in WNC but it does throw wrenches some times.
Pouring a mud seal or mud-slab can help a lot if there is a chance of rain.
Adding the rain for more drama made this so good! 😃
That was some real edge of the seat/ by the seat of your pants workday! So miss your in person humor but appreciate the videos for a PBB and crew fix!
Leaving for a 2 week camping trip tomorrow, perfect to watch while I finish packing.
getting all of that on video is epic.
I assume they’ll get the footings core tested for strength after the rain issues . Before moving on.
S**t hits the fan on pour day and Eric's southern accent comes out LOL
Great work boys.
Go boys go!
Australia
This episode was more exciting and nail biting than all new amazon and netflix shows combined
i love this episode
I really love you guys. Thanks for all the videos!
today is June 6th. "D" day. and I love you guys and your channel. But Jono. Airforce One is Blue and White. I'm a Navy veteran and that truck was Battleship Gray. Thank you guys for all that you do and hug a Veteran.
🤜🤛 thanks Anthony
These truck drivers are nuts
Great episode guys 🍺🎉🔥⚒️🔨🫵🏻
As crafty as Jamie is , I’m surprised he hasn’t modified the level board with some all thread or something to hold and stand instead of crouching.
a real action video... tks
This made me so nervous, I had to pause the video! 🤣. What a crazy day!
Put a handle on each end of the bar you use to flatten the concrete then you can do it standing up, saves you leaning over the concrete
Concrete pour of this magnitude. Rain in forecast. Not one single jagger pump?
Reply with a ❤ if you also think Jamie should record audio instructions in a podcast style. Poor guy always gets bullied by the crew for being so meticulate but we all love him for it!
Honestly think he should keep at it with his Builder's Knowledge channel or even open up an online course. The guy has so much knowledge.
Agree great idea I like the hole crew but like to hear more of Jamie
An updates on jamie guitar playing re teaching his opponent hand
Kudos to the engineer for ordering the right amount of concrete. Tip: always double check the weather before ordering concrete. 😂😂😂😂😂
