For the cost of that house it’s beyond my understanding why they didn’t pour concrete underneath that garage and use that space for something useful. Instead, they dug a big hole in the ground and did nothing bizarre.
Those steel beams would have been more money than back fill! LOL
Looks like someone's top secret dungeon
I've carried enough buckets out of a basement to realize how they dig into your hand. I've found that slipping a 4" long piece of either 1/2" copper pipe or 3/4" PVC over the plastic bucket handle makes your hands happy. Just use channel locks to twist the metal out of the side of the bucket, slip pipe on and twist the metal back in the side of the bucket.
Great tip!
Big expense but I would’ve poured the bottom floor as well. Could do some really cool things with that space. I’d love to have that in my house. Would be awesome shop or extra storage, maybe even an elevator for golf cart size lowering and raising.
My Exact thought!
Might just be enough height downstairs to have a home cinema room
Nobody needs a three car garage. Are the owners racist ?
Probably didn’t want to pay another 4k for the floor and have the assessor increase their tax bill for another finished room
Cement is 175 a yard, add prep and labor your talking 25k minimum.
Great job!! Looking forward to seeing the finished product!!
I know that guy had a Major expense with the garage floor, but I think I would have poured the floor underneath it also.
It was likely triple anyway for the upper floor. Also, I ordered a pair of those boots. I love them, they are very warm and keep your feet dry and are very comfortable. They came in handy here in Iowa the past several days.
I thought the same. Nice games room or cinema under there!
I agree I would have poured down below first then did the garage floor. Probably 5 times original estimate but for an extra room so be it.
I think cost was probably a factor but also, they would had to of removed all the temporary wood support walls to pour the basement floor than redid the walls before pouring the garage. Lots of extra time to do that.
I wonder if they maybe mentioned being able to run concrete thru a hose in the future? Just run the hose thru a garage floor drain.
@@ratspeedgarage Safe room, storm shelter, Dooms Day shelter LOL. But best of all---------MAN CAVE
I would have maybe added an access to the room below. It would have been minimal cost. They could have placed it in one of the back corners of the garage. That way if they ever wanted to pour the floor down there, they wouldn't have to pump the concrete through the house.
Since the basement room has HVAC tied to the rest of the house you absolutely do not want an opening into the garage.
@@wohnai could be sealed properly.
@@wohnai the hvac is capped under there
@@wohnai what you’re saying is “true” but it would be really helpful and even helpful to get materials into the room too. The building department freaks out about a vent to or from the garage but it’s really really not a big deal something bad enough for it to matter happening in the garage with or without a vent will still kill you and your family just as dead 💀
I'd think if the hmeowner later on wanted a floor poured later for that room floor, you could pull the drain cover and p-trap and pump concrete through there.
That job was just different enough to make interesting. Thanks Tom
Wow! That was a great pour, you guys are so fast! Of course, absolutely understand that you have to keep scheduled work on time. That's very, very important. The demo job turned into a different work altogether so that owner will have to work w TSH. I'm sure he is very grateful that TSH kept the contract even though the work changed so much. You guys are really awesome. Hope you Christmas was fantastic, bless you all!👍👌❤🇺🇸🇺🇸
class operation!! good job no shortage of quality!!
In my home I have a set of stairs to the basement directly from the garage. I cannot overemphasize how convenient that is for groceries, getting tools when I'm working in garage etc. Also provides a 2nd egress so I don't have the funky sunken security windows in the basement. The homeowner wasted an opportunity there in my opinion
Seriously was just thinking the same thing. A set of stairs would have been perfect to build in. Also should have poured the bottom in.
Seriously this. Or at the very least a manhole that could be used to later pour a concrete floor down below.
Tornado Bunker 😅
WOW that was a different garage floor glad you showed this job...
Wow! The client has a huge new storm cellar/ man cave. This is too cool. Great job!
You guys are good at what you do. Thx!
definition of professional. What a great job.
What a Christmas present for this owner! I can't imagine the cost for this job....Love your work & videos, Greetings from the Old Jarhead in COLD WNC.
What an incredibly complex project! You can never say enough about the versatility, skill & work ethic of your crew.
In this day & age of worker apathy & lost skills; your team just shines above the others. Tom It is a credit to you with your appreciative, relaxed & inclusive management style that allows you to build & retain such a successful organization. This homeowner, while likely bummed out about the scope creep of this project, likely doesn't realize that this mess could have turned into a a 3 or 4 month nightmare with a half dozen different trade contactors falling over each other. Bill😁(42 years in const. mgnmnt)
Not to mention the potential added costs associated with the loss of two automobiles when the floor support failed.
Tom you and crew did a great job on the garage and decking, I hate seeing the bill on that job,Happy New Year
Fantastic work. Thanks for sharing.
Better than new. Look forward to the pour.
Hahaha loved it when you said to the boys hurry up there faces was a picture (good sense of humor ) 😂😂😂👍🏻
Awesome job on putting in that decking!
I m going to miss your videos Tom, hope you held some back for the winter. See you on the next one boss 💪🔨✌
I like that you continued taking care of your other customers instead of putting everyone behind. I've had a contractor agree to do a lot of extra work for his customer and those of us that had already been started got pushed back a couple weeks which stretched my project out to 3 months later because of scheduling problems with the other trades that needed to come in. 5 or 6 months without a kitchen sucks, it felt like years!
That’s a long time no kitchen
@Concrete with the Hauses it was! I said I would never do that again!
Thank you so much for the details and updates on the garage surprise project. I'm currently designing my own detached 2 car garage and because of the grade of my property, I want to do steel decking for the main level of parking, then then below to be open for more storage where I can drive into from my backyard. So instead of a 2 car, it's really a 4 car detached garage.
I've been struggling with understanding how this might be possible, but your video miraculously appeared in my suggested videos and has given me some hope that my imagination for this detached garage is realistic!
I would love to know and understand more how the engineer decided what size steel decking, rebar and rebar spacing was selected based on trying to reuse the existing structure. I know it's highly unlikely this would be shared, but your video has really encouraged me to dig deeper and educate myself!
Thanks for the videos and education!
...you could ask your local steel fabricator who they use for their engineering needs- tgen explain to the engineer what you have in mind;
HELLOOOO from a Southwest victim… rented a car & drove back from New England… great video yinz guys.
Really enjoy your footage & commentary.
Catch yinz on the next one
Have a Day
Great work Tom and the rest of the crew ❤
That's a nice surprise. Homeowner should be happy. They just added around 1,200 sqft to the home if they finish it..minimum of a $120,000 value too the home. Would make a great theater room. Love the videos
Good job to U and all ur CREW 😉
Nice to see You Guys do have fun amidst the hard work! You’re all pretty entertaining 🤣
As always great video and great work. You definitely have a tuff one
Awesome work. To see where it was and where it’s going
Thanks 👍
Awesome job Happy New Year
I have watched you and your crew do some unusual things, and then concrete as well. Is there nothing y'all can't do? Hats off to your crew what a lot of work for a garage floor! Very interesting video
Thanks 👍
Up here in Altoona we would call that breakfast a mess. Pretty much whatever is on the grill goes in. A little hot sauce and some jelly bread and it makes a great start to any day.
Wow, what a job. As I was looking at this garage and understanding how sitting water caused the rust which in turn compromised the concrete. I thought, what if the new concrete flooring was sloped in a way to flow out of the garage without the need for drains. Either way I have confidence that you guys will properly repair it 😊👍🏽
Probably rust was caused by sheets not being sprayed with galvanised spray after they were cut jus like they are doing now exposing raw steel to water and cement that will eventually eat away under the galvanising and compromising the integrity of the floor once again
I was wanting to tear the garage off my house and excavate out a basement to to attach to the existing basement, and then rebuild the garage on top using something like this, but i am still convinced that I want to use something like Bubbledeck to span the 25' without having to use all the supports. I'm surprised that you guys went with the steel decking, but I'm sure that this slab will be more fortified. The rebar at 12" should help a lot. (Maybe, some vinyl strips mixed in the concrete too). I've been looking at ICF decking, and concrete block, but Bubbledeck has me sold.
Can't wait to see the pour and final results.
I have an ICF floor on my screen porch and garage. There is a basement underneath both of them. It was a lot of work shoring them up during the pour but I really love it because I have some large clear spanned areas. You can see the amount of steel beams and supports required for the steel decking approach.
WOW You're right about the trucks what a time saver. No pushing and pulling or pumping up the shute. I'm in Australia and have never seen one.
You couldn't talk them into concreting the basement floor while you were at it? Perfect opportunity.
I still find it hard to believe that nobody knew that room was there. You and your crew did another great job.
Thank you!
IF I was the customer. I would have had you pour a cement floor in the "new-hidden" room while you had it all open
@@davep6977 that’s what I thought too. Even 4 inches would be a good base. Stairs going down with a “trap door” would be a great save too. Now I’m engineering the job for free 🤣🤣🤣
@@davep6977 I was thinking the same but I guess the cost already shot up (not to mention the time line) because of surprise and it just wasn't feasible for them at this time.
Perfect execution
A trap door with stairs going down might have been a good way to use that space for storage. Or for changing oil.
That garage basement would have made an epic gun vault. Maybe someday. I would have loved to discover that area.
I know right?
I love watching your attention to detail, brings back some great memories for me! 😊. Happy New Year fellas! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Nice to see the quick 3.3 thousand increase in viewership. You have interesting and unique content, in addition to a model style of management.
I was knocking out a big set of church entrance steps and they and I fell into a 5 ft deep hole they had bridged when the steps were poured. Never a dull moment
I would kill for that garage. Nice games room under too!
For a car enthusiast you could put lifts on the basement floor and have them used to store your car under the garage. I have seen them built basically like elevators for storing you clasic or supercars beneath the garage. Really cool but crazy expensive I would imagine.
@@crzy11000 I looked at garage lifts a while back, not as much as you would expect.
Found a video of the steel being put in nice job and how I wish I had those steel beams in my basement/garage, get rid of all those support poles I have & basement would be huge, I can fit 8-9 cars in there now.
seen and learned something new that i would not believe unless i saw it .always thought that would have been the flexcore slabs for that
Way to deliver mail man 👊💪😁✌
A lot of hard work, but exceptional satisfaction seeing the finished product.
💞💞 🤗 It's CONCRETE TIME!!! Watching these videos makes me thankful for God making a Concrete Man.
Respect your workers
Not sure where your eating but ya gotta try T-bones in Wexford. Always try to get a meal there when I'm working in that area.
The best fried chicken everything is good there
Clean work
Your job makes my back hurt just watching! 😂 I am curious what type of decking your using that you don’t have to crimp the seems? Nice job!
Great job on the garage. 3 questions. 1)what was the original price? 2) how much more did it cost? 3) how did you tie in the new decking into the walls and foundation by the garage doors? How big is the house you poured the slab for going to be? How many floors for the elevator? Stay safe. Happy New Year to Haus family and crew.
Don't forget to weld on the deck pins!
What a job. Nothing phases or stops you guys. Nothing.
You should be eating New Brighton hot dog Shoppe breakfast lunch and dinner!! Great video and explanations. First time watch a crew from western PA. I MISS HOME.
My back hurts just watching this! Great work, always loved watching concrete guys in action.
I'll stick to climbing telephone poles and crawling around in underground vaults for a living. Lol
What you're eating looks to me like a Garbage plate. Originally from Rochester NY, but I understand it's disputed because I've also heard people claim it came from PA or even Maryland before.
A breakfast mix it is delicious
Mark of a great company to switch gears and solve a challenging problem like you did on this job. I wish you guys were closer to MA.
You guys are badasses!
Most intriguing video by far and raised anxiety levels up
Now for the fun part will the wood bracing stay or go after completed
That literally is a few tons of concrete. You and your crew are great. They have to love their job to do such nice work...
Fascinating work! I already have too many subs to keep up with, but I had to add one more. 🙂
Can't imagine going back to manually tying all the rebar after using the new tools.
Love how the guy says 'still physics' while not using physics. 😂
Steve, I wear Hanes also!!!
I have never seen something like this…not sure what to think about it. I think it is cool. The cinder block walls are a bd idea. Poured walls are my preference.
As always, another AWESOME JOB!
Happy New Year Tom and crew!!!!
Since the original concrete was not that thick according to you, were you able to increase the thickness, given that the bearing of the decking is the same? What's the minimum thickness according to the engineering?
When you cut galvanised sheet you expose the bare steel you should cold galvanised spray the edges or it will rust especially in contact with cement and there's not much overlap on the front of the sheets by the door
Just a beautiful job. While I'm sure the homeowner wasn't happy with the situation, I'm sure he was by having a "GOOD" crew to fix it correctly. Nice job.
Smart idea
To pour the bottom floor and add a few more supports to those beams. They were alot further than 8 feet apart..plus the fact, their rotting in the earth.Not that don't for see it doing the exact same thing again.
Floor drains rotting it all
That's a lot of work. Any thought to just compacting fill and pouring a slab with drains out through side wall or wherever they could go? Block interior basement wall the issue with that?
You have a good team. They respect you. It's hard to find now a days.
Very nice, looking forward to the pour. Have someone keep a eye on your braces eh lol.
Nice Vid !
Thanks
Huge job. I know the expense on this is going to be astronomical for the homeowner, but I can’t believe they didn’t go ahead and put a concrete floor in that crawlspace and make it more useful.
Get a couple of D-handle, square-edged shovels. Digging that debris out with a spade is crazy.
Can you let me know if there's a third installment to this video clip the Finishing Touch of installing the floor above the open room you guys did a great job this is Steve from Michigan
You and your crew had to work extra hard on the garage floor , going to turn out great
Well done.
Thanks crusty
In my opinion ;It was made very well . I hope that one you gonna make is going to last a least 100 years .
Great Craftsmanship 👍👍👍👍
I am surprised that the homeowner didn't know about the room! I know there was stuff infront of the door, but I would think that when he saw the door, he would have taken a look!
It would have been nice to know that room is there BEFORE you started!
What a GREAT find though!
For sure
I was surprised too, my guess is the movers piled boxes marked basement in front of the door and they still have not been moved or unpacked since.
Breakfast is Italian mix , from the North Park Lounge, looks good
Close sorry no
I love the pride and quality of workmanship!
Kelly O’s Eggs Benedict Pittsburgh?
Way to plan after the you found out about the surprise. My heart sank when the bit was just going through the old concrete.
Adding some hidden car lifts would be cool and double car space 😎
Should have added hidden entrance /Escape hatch. cool untapped space for a house, defiantly would make into Game room MAN CAVE.
There is a previous video where they start to demolish the original floor and discover the room below it. There was an access to it from the basement that the owner didn't realize was there.
Man I get it I enjoy using boom trucks when I can because they can reach a long way and my men seem to like the work with pump trucks but I'll tell you if you don't have the room it's like trying to put a dump truck in a Tupperware bowl it just won't fit. People don't understand when you out doing work like that you can't just bring in equipment sometimes you have to manually move stuff around and you have to think of ways to get it to go. I think that shoot and wheelbarrow as quick as you can move it was a good idea, that'd been a lot better than using a buggy. That garage job the one thing I don't understand is how the homeowner didn't know that was there it's a wonder you didn't fall through the floor and really get injured the first time you put your bobcat in there. The big thing about where you're working right now is getting your vehicles onto the road safely and not getting dirt all over the highway cuz then the state police comr and wright you a ticket for getting mud on the street especially working and wet areas like you are.
Since the home owner is keeping the room and it sounds like it has a dirt floor, will they have you pour concrete for that floor? If you do pour a floor, how will you do it, or do they have other plans?
Woulda made a GREAT soundproof theater room!
Not from your area, but that breakfast looks great. Awesome job again guys.
Thanks so much
Great video and work! Why didn't they cement that dirt floor below, before you closed up access to it? Lee

P.S. - great music selection on this one Emily.
I'll go with Roadhouse Skillet from Billy's Roadhouse. Not a lot of breakfast restaurants in that area.
Does this concrete not break after some time because there is so little rebar in there? How do you calculate the ammount needed
I saw the green goblin thrower truck i instantly knew that your in Pittsburgh . I am a finisher working in Rankin .
once the decking was removed they should of had you pour a floor down below. great job guys the home owner was lucky you were on the job.
What a crazy discovery!!!
