Very nice Tom, the little stepping stones you put in for the Customer is a Class Act Sir. We live in tough economic times right now. That bit of work at your expense, CUSTOMERS never forget and they tell everyone. I think I know you well enough you do not do it for what you get out of it, you do it cause your just that kind of guy, and your crew follows right along with the same thoughts and care that their "teacher" taught them - Thanks for Bringing us along. from SE Texas. I subscribe to 1200+ Channels, You and Outdoor with the Morgans, TOP 5 channels for me, and i have not seen Any Concrete Contractors in your class. ❤💯🙏 :)
Tom your background music has been awesome thank you! You and your team are true artists in you craft. My love and I at 70 years old look forward to to each upload…..let Jim know he’s our favorite……..
Sealing the concrete is the best part of vid i think , it really makes the stamping and rolling pop and shows the quality of your work for the customers 👍 🇺🇸
I'm always excited about the ADA compliant work. I know it can be a pain but it sure makes a difference for some of us. Back in the day, my dad sat in the car too many times while the rest of us adventured.
Tom, You're right on the use of vibrators in concrete. They are to be used to consolidate the concrete and not move the concrete. The engineering rule is to place the vibrator head at a visible rate of 1 1/2 time the "radius of action" of the consolidated concrete. Good job.
Great job with the concrete work and careful site design. Those random stepping stones added a unique touch to the project. It's clear that your craftsmanship and attention to detail are always top-notch. Looking forward to seeing the final result.
Hi Tom, hit that traction matt with some heat (Hot Air), once it's pliable, flip it upside down (Side that was bent up face down) and add some even weight to the area and let it sit for a day, that should flatten it back out. Just don't over heat it, slow, steady and as evenly as possible should get the job done
2 questions. Did you drive any rebar in the ground on the stepping stones to keep them settled? What do you consider a great yardage of concrete per day? Thanks, its always nice.
Neat creative stepping stone idea. I have searched the rock yard, and it is hard to find the right size and shape of rocks for pavers/stepping stones (nature is pretty inexact).. So best bet: create them with concrete and the finish...
May have said this before... My new go too concrete people... way better than victory! What's the difference from rolling and stamping? Are the rollers weighted?
Hot a stepping stone fan. Like tge stamped look but not sure tgat would work well in Wisconsin withe the snow removal. You and the guys know their roles and work well together.
22:25 In my humble opinion landings in front of a door should always be at the same level as the interior floor. Especially in cold climates as a slippery, icy surface can send someone flying down on their butt if they have to step down right away coming out of the door. Landings should be three feet or longer, no less, at the door.
Last year I was dumping material in to my burn pit. As soon as I dumped the bucket on my tractor i realized I forgot to attach it. Down it goes and so I put the fork attachment on locking it and picked the bucket out. I seen a guy with a grapple do about the same thing except he was making a video and he left that mistake in. The other day I was looking on market place on Facebook where someone was selling a Cat 306 and it looked from the pictures to be in good used shape for not much money. So i think to myself that if i contact them that their price will have jumped.
When the customer ran out of money and you improvised stepping stones out of leftover concrete is why you are #️⃣1️⃣ in my book, Tom!
👍👍👍

I totally agree!

The stepping stones is a good idea for efficient use of the concrete.

Those stepping stones are awesome!
Cool idea with the stones to use up the extra concrete. Nice project as always
you never cease to amaze me, It has always been all about the customer. And not how much money you can make...
GOOOOOOD EVENING Tom & crew/guys.
Another great video!
Love the stepping stone pads.
Exceptional work as usual.
Have a day
You have a day too
You and you crew operate at a much higher level than anyone else I've seen on UA-cam.
Extremely impressive.
Like the victory fools
Important point that steel doesn’t prevent cracking, it just minimizes movement after cracking.
Those stepping Stones are no joke. Better than what you could buy off the shelf at Lowe's or Home Depot.
Yes stepping stones good idea real nice the whole project looks awesome 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Great job with the concrete work and careful site design. Those random stepping stones added a unique touch to the project. It's clear that your craftsmanship and attention to detail are always top-notch. Looking forward to seeing the final result.
Beautiful job on the sidewalk and those stepping stones look nice!!
Love the stepping stones looks great 👍
It keeps the lumpos from happening. The stepping stones are a great idea 💡. Nice looking buggy.
I did some rocks too. I just cheated and used rock liners. Looks awesome
Tom those steps are sweet.nice job

Well done Tom!
The new concrete buggy is sharp! You need a few spatters of concrete on it to make it look good 👍
Thanks for the new video!
Tom, I think the stepping stones were a GREAT IDEA !! Love IT !!
A good cup of coffee in trade for a very nice set of concrete stepping stones ! Very sweet of you to do that for your customer. Grandma in Texas
Make some templates of the stepping stones and YES, people will buy them. Great side hustle
Good job guys
Damn good work boys 👍
Do you have new power buggies? They look so clean! New hoppers? Love the channel!
Top job again 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
Superb ❤ it !!!!!!
Thanks a lot 😊
2 questions. Did you drive any rebar in the ground on the stepping stones to keep them settled? What do you consider a great yardage of concrete per day? Thanks, its always nice.
Those buggies are the bomb!
Creative production to complete the pour. Named, "Hause Side Walk" 👍👍👍(patent pending)
Neat creative stepping stone idea. I have searched the rock yard, and it is hard to find the right size and shape of rocks for pavers/stepping stones (nature is pretty inexact).. So best bet: create them with concrete and the finish...
When did you get new buggies. How expensive are they?
May have said this before...
My new go too concrete people... way better than victory!
What's the difference from rolling and stamping? Are the rollers weighted?
Stamping is done with individual stamps. We can move faster with the roller so we can offer it as a discounted price.
Hot a stepping stone fan. Like tge stamped look but not sure tgat would work well in Wisconsin withe the snow removal. You and the guys know their roles and work well together.
Tom for the record, that coffee has entirely too much cream in it 🤣😂
I can see forms being made or purchased, if they exist.

Tom, I thought that YOU, wrote the handbook on concrete😂😂😂
At Steve’s request 😆
Just know Tom, when you’re no longer around the company you began is in great hands- with Steve
Those pads will get buried in grass over time, unless they are there for a short time. The edge doesn't allow easy removal of grass growing over it.

Wouldn’t it be neat if you could put ‘WELCOME’ in one of your stamps you make to add to something special to your work
I’d be afraid of those stepping stones “ heaving” in freezing weather??
At 8.53 it was showing the board and it was curved pretty bad.
That second job would be $50,000 here, at least
👋🏼
A little more concrete and the owner could have had a sidewalk.
That woman can talk?
As the Haitians in Ohio say, plenty of ways to skin a cat 😂
