You all did a very nice job. My good friend has a farm in Decatur Illinois yesterday we drove on that to get to his farm and it was amazing. I was showing my friend your video of you guys doing this I was so excited to drive on this.
Haha! We were here before ya doing all the concrete patches. They had us wait to do this section until you guys were finished. Looked good though 😂😂 Thanks for the follow! I need to come hang out with you guys sometime doing some asphalt!
Great question! These beam boxes were later tested in a beam breaker to see if the concrete is hard enough to withstand the traffic. It is important to do especially on a job like this where you are flagging and need to know when exactly the new road is ready for traffic to drive on it. I apologize for not filming that part and explaining that better. I may be able to get some testing in another video soon!
Honestly, it's rather stupid how that works. The harder, longer, and better you work, the more the government steals from you. Thereby disincentivizing hard work, performance, and self-improvement. That, plus, what did the government do to help you get the job done? If anything, government is nearly always a hindrance, especially when they insist on regulating that crap out of everything and sticking their filthy fingers into every pie. "Worked your ass off, well into overtime, just to get the job done right? Earned a promotion with a pay raise? Great! Now we'll penalize you by stealing even more from you! Thanks for paying, sucks to be you!" I mean, at the absolute least, performance-based bonuses and overtime should always be tax-exempt. And I'll leave it at that, since I'm sure no one came here to read my political rants.
It's a gas powered concrete roller screed. There's a bunch of different people that make them now. We prefer this one due to its weight and reliability. Another patching crew of ours uses a bat screed system that they like. All depends on what works for you and your projects.
Would be hard to do really. All the equipment we have is scattered on numerous job sites right now. Could be something we can do during the winter downtime.
The Type A meter is particularly useful on construction sites where immediate feedback on air content is necessary to decide whether the concrete batch should be used or needs adjustment. This tool is essential for ensuring that concrete has the appropriate air entrainment for its intended application, thereby affecting its workability, strength, and resistance to environmental damage.

Thanks Lukas!
I like how you do the hot tar on the jjoints. 😊
Thanks! I'm not always this good at crack sealing though, sometimes they have a different tip on it and it makes a mess 😅
@ARoadBuilder As I think that it is the best way to get it done right.
As long as the finishers give me a good joint edge, I'll make it look good 🫡
Congratulations on 1000 subscribers!!! 🍻🍻🍻
Thank you!

Quick question. Why are you filling molds with concrete at 26:09?

@@ARoadBuilder Thanks for explaining! No need to apologize, and keep up the great work!
Nice job
Thanks!
Could you imagine your take home check if there was no income tax on overtime
It would be awesome if there were no income tax on overtime!

What's that roller thing called that you guys were using to level with? I've never seen that before.

Can you do a video about all your heavy equipment and the attachments
Would be hard to do really. All the equipment we have is scattered on numerous job sites right now. Could be something we can do during the winter downtime.
What test are you doing when you pump up the concrete at 16:16?
