Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but Please don't call the contractors names!! That's unacceptable! They were on our channel before and praised to high heavens when they FIXED our first concrete slab pour disaster. It's REALLY NOT THAT BAD, JUST MESSY! They will clean this up and do a great job on our garage slab. Give em a chance! We are!
I was in concrete business for over 40 years. Pump trucks are the way to go. Most people just dont want to pay the added cost of the pump. the pummp could have reached from one spot. they are just as safe as pouring off a Readymix truck if not more safe. I used pump trucks as much as possible. I just added it to the cost of the bill.
I think they were being very, very respectful of the fact they put those walls up themselves...so if they blew out the blocks it would delay their home build by potentially several weeks at the hottest time of the year. They did water down the subsequent trucks of cement so it would pour down to the bottom of the walls more quickly.
@@AB-ol5uz the pump truck don’t blow air pressure down into the blocks that can cause a blow out. Most of time when you get a blow out on pouring concrete. It’s being poured into plywood forms like plywood formed wall with kicker and horizontal braces. But very rarely ever just filling in cinder block holes of freshly built well concreted cinder block walls & them re-enforced with rebar the right way that Gary and Mel built these walls. Blow outs usually happen 99% of the time in concrete forms from the weight of the concrete forcing down into something that’s not already concreted or 100% stable. From the concrete form braces being weak & the weight of tons of concrete being sitting pushing down stacked into the forms and the weight pushes downward and blows out the plywood. Because it’s not braced strong enough to hold all that weighted pressure. This usually happens at the bottom of the plywood forms, the joints/seems, corners or turns. This happens more often on huge concrete pours in much bigger thicker projects that requires much more concrete. ( For example: formed walls & formed overhead concrete floors) . But it’s most always in wood/plywood or composite concrete forms that this happens when the bracing and joining of forms don’t hold the pressure of the concrete. The pump truck only pumps it from the concrete truck into a boom with a chute pour hose. They can hold the the pump truck hose over the cinder block holes 🕳 and let the concrete gravitate down thru the block until hole is full and move to the next hole 🕳 . This requires an experienced pump truck operator and an experienced concrete boom hose operator to fill the holes 🕳. With a pump truck they won’t put anymore concrete into those holes than they did with that chute trough method that those fellas on this project used. They don’t put the pump truck hose down inside the cinder block holes and pump air pressure down in the walls with the concrete. No pun intended but people shouldn’t think a pump truck is pumping air pressure down into the walls of a cinderblock wall like pumping up a car tire, that’s silly. A pump truck pumps the concrete from a concrete truck that cannot reach a area that needs to be poured. It takes that concrete sends it thru a boom or hose and the concrete man wands the hose back and forth to deliver the concrete into your forms in places the concrete truck sliding troughs can’t reach. Or on awkward angles that’s difficult to get to with the trucks troughs. The pump truck with the experienced guys or gals that operate them daily would’ve made the delivery of the concrete to the holes 🕳 with those wanding hoses. Only difference with a pump truck and the way these guys done it is a pump truck would’ve been less mess, and done the same thing but with much less struggling and less spills down the walls. It could’ve Made the maneuverability much easier. On most of the modern pump trucks the boom angles and flow speed of the concrete can be adjusted. To a slower flow as well to avoid faster gravitational fall of the concrete. But none of this really matters now because Ronnie’s guys got it done. It was a bit of a struggling but they managed to get it done. 👍 It should be fine as long as the clean up goes well. Now it’s time to forget the concrete and block work and move on to the water 💦 sealing of the block. Then when it’s cured, then fill in with dirt and grading around the basement. Then start the framing the upstairs floor AKA: The basement overhead ceiling, then building and standing the walls and attach the roof Trusses, and dry the roof in. Then the basement shoujd be safe to stay in while construction is taking place with the potential of the ceiling leaking 💦 being at a minimum. I’m excited for them being at this stage of moving on from the hardest intensifying manual labor of concrete and block & brick 🧱 work. That’s why I got out of it many years ago, it takes its toll on a persons body because it’s a hard back breaking manual labor and you earn every penny you get and then some.😉
UK here and I am glad you got the concrete finished with but I have to say I would not be happy with the results. If ever a job needed Pumping it was this one, it was embarrassing to see men using there bare hands to get the concrete down into the blocks. As for coming back to clean up the next day...concrete starts to set within hours and on a sunny day you are always fighting the stuff. You clean up whilst it is still wet with hard brush and shovel not next day with a windy chisel. Hopefully the job is now put to bed and all happy but Geez not my idea of fun.
Should have got a vibrator out because if your going through all the trouble of filling them blocks you might as well make sure there was no air gaps. Trouble filling has to all do with the chute slope. A pump truck would have been perfect for the job and is what almost every contractor would use in this situation but it would add another $1000 or so to the job.
Man.... I would of pumped it....I've been for over 35yrs. I would of been pissed if anyone from my network of contractors left the job looking like that. What a mess, you don't wait to clean up the next day. Clean up is paramount and shows respect for your hard work setting that block. Great job by the way. Unacceptable in my business....just saying..
I just can't believe it took them an entire year to build a foundation when this is around a 4-6 week job to excavate , lay rebrar, pour a pad and block it all with 2-3 people full time.. and yeah, i woulda pumped it and built solid concrete walls vs block but overall i think these good folks did a great job on their own for 1st timers. :)
@@matttafakt , Guess if you've got that cash to dole out for work to be done. If you don't you do it with your own two hands and labor. Like they said,they were not going to go into debt to do this.
I don't claim to be a pro, but I've watched them many many times. What has me most concerned was the viscosity of the pour. It seemed way too watery, and strange they chose that ratio, as opposed to higher viscosity accompanied with a vibrator to ensure it got down into all the nicks and crannies. And bare hands spread from a professional crew?? I too would question the longevity of any guarantee given under the circumstances. Creative technique for raising the truck up, though. I hope they got the scaffolding rinsed off before any spillover had a chance to set. What a mess they left. I'm not trying to rain on your parade here, but rather point out what seems to be obvious red flags of an inexperienced concrete crew. You folks have worked really hard to get where you're at in the build, and we all want you to succeed in the best way possible at everything you do.
Everyone.....could of.....would of.....should of.....I'm just stoked to watch you guys one more step closer to your dreams!!....and NO BLOWOUTS!!! Mason work done for now!!....time for framing!!
Hey! Glad Dan spoke up. A professional pump team would never talk about blow outs. They would also have use a vibrator to remove bubbles. BTW: There may be a much cheaper ant-cap than copper sheeting. Just be sure they guarantee for >50 years since copper, essentially lasts forever!
Hello, I am a German construction worker who has been working with concrete for 40 years, but I have never seen construction workers like yours. The filling box they used is not fastened, so that a lot goes wrong and pouring concrete at a height of about 2.5 m without compacting it is almost criminal. Luckily they have processed concrete blocks that can also absorb the pressure. Sincerely, Ehrenfried. I hope the translation works.
You are correct sir. And that is standard building code in the United States. A vibrator is mandatory. And in most of the United States a pump truck is required. 24 hours after the pump we have thermal cavity inspections. That's why pump trucks are required by law. The Building Inspector should red flag this house now, and probably will.
@@EmbossedVideoChannel , you are correct except that there is no building inspectors in Arkansas on a personal home build. That's why these Gypsy fly by night businesses can get away with what they do. Sure wish Gary would have looked into this a bit more since he's done such a professional job on his end.
I was really surprised when I didn't see them using any kind of cement vibration device, I have limited concrete experience but it's kind of amazing how much the vibrations help the concrete settle much better, with much less air pockets and also into all nooks and crannies when pouring into irregular shapes.
Running a pump truck is easy providing that your mud has a good flow, the slump is not too high and you can turn the pump volume down on the unit to prevent this flopping around of the 4 inch hose on the end of the boom. Additionally, there are pump trailers that can accomplish the same thing. Concrete Pumps are a great asset to any job, and could have cut your time in half to complete this job. I have been around pump trucks for almost 20 years and have never witnessed what your describing. Also, when you have dunnage being applied to the ground for the mixer to back up on, if OSHA would have been involved that would have cost you a huge fine. Finally, the crew was not in the proper PPE to keep themselves safe from the elements of concrete, they could have some serious injuries from moving that much concrete with bare hands. As the pour happened, there was never any use of a vibrator to ensure that there are no pockets and it is a 100% fill in all areas of the pour. I really do not want to talk bad about a team, just looking at the proper way to pour concrete and keep everyone safe. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to your next step.
My dad got a concrete burn that turned into a kinda fungus from bare handling concrete. He said over and over he should worn gloves. It took years for his hands to heal! I hope the concrete went all the way down with not too many bubbles, since no vibration was used. We had a waist high foundation poured years ago and they used vibration for the bubbles. In southwest Missouri. So glad it’s done and you can move to the next step. I felt anxiety for you guys just watching! So proud of you two!!! 💖
Glad for you guys. Waiting for the next stage. The stress levels were definitely through the roof. One thing though, did not see your concrete guys us a vibrator.
I couldn’t believe these guys using their bare hands! They’re going to need some major hand lotion. But they stayed committed and determined to get the job done. Hard working men!
Just getting a chance to see some videos, so happy for you guys! You have been waiting for that day for a long time, must have felt so good at the end of the day :)
Yeah, that is how it gets done in the rural Arkansas areas. I just had a slab poured and the concrete had to be done by a tractor like they did, two trucks worth. and the third truck was able to just use the chutes. Pumpers are hard to get here for the size jobs they do so most contractors are not used to ever using them. They use tractor buckets or wheelbarrows. But they get the job done.
I hope this turns out awesome for you guys, you worked so hard to get to this point. I wish the concrete guys had a vibrating rod to ensure the concrete reaches the bottom
So excited for ya all.i know you both are totally excited. Finally. Praise GOD for good people. Amen sister. Love all uour videos. A very advid fan. Have a blessed day. Prayers for you an yours.
I am in Missouri and have watched your channel from day one ,love your determination to get things done. excited to see your home when finished.good job
No matter what is said I’m glad it’s done no one got hurt and they said they’ll be back to fix the mishap , I don’t blame ya u two for being upset after all of that hard work you two did laying the cinder blocks
Congrats. Take a big breath, it is done. They did a great job. However, just sit back, take a big look and see what you have done. The Dream is well on its way. Try not to Stress, everything will work out just fine. It always does. Many Blessings.
Wow, what a job! Lots of work and know how required so they wouldn't wreck anything! So happy for you rhat it's done and you can move on in the process. So glad David stopped in to see the progress!
Congratulations! Look at what you’ve accomplished in just one year! So glad you’ve got a great team of people helping you with your dream. So much has happened this past year for you guys 💕
I bet those guys raking that concrete with their hands are wishing they had used gloves ? I made the mistake of kneeling in concrete to finish it and had burned knees for weeks after! concrete is very caustic!
I love this video and I'm so excited that they got that concrete in there! I thank you so much for taking me along with you and let me see all that's going on there. So I'll be waiting and watching for the next video from Paris Tennessee!
Good job on the block work ive been laying block for 20 years and seen home owners do horrible block work but yours turned out good. I would have pumped it for sure i pumped 12 feet several times with no problem but it worked out good for you good job.
Hi Mel and Gary, Gary's block work was perfect 👍 no blow outs, great to see the concreting done, hope all went well with the clean up, Best wishes from EVE in the UK 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇲
Not sure if you have a shelter near the house in the works but a place to go that is concrete and underground is never a bad thing. Down here in the south we have tornados and spring storms and some can be pretty gnarly. Yours can also double as a root cellar.
Glad that the pour is finished. Praying that it is as uncomplicated as mentioned to clean up. Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Love you Guys ! If your happy, I'm happy. Stay happy, healthy, hydrated and safe. May God continue to bless you, your family and your adventures.

I think they underestimated the real need for a pump truck, it would’ve been 100X easier. Those ole boys was struggling 😂👍

So happy for you! Now for the wood section of the build!!!!!
Hello friends. Love seeing the progress being made. Looking awesome ✌️
Ingenious awesome team working 💪 👷♂️ 👏
Not sure if you have a shelter near the house in the works but a place to go that is concrete and underground is never a bad thing. Down here in the south we have tornados and spring storms and some can be pretty gnarly. Yours can also double as a root cellar.
Glad that the pour is finished. Praying that it is as uncomplicated as mentioned to clean up. Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Love you Guys ! If your happy, I'm happy.
Stay happy, healthy, hydrated and safe.
May God continue to bless you, your family and your adventures.
Yeah!
So beautiful, so peaceful, so Heavenly.
Good job, another step closer 👏 ....Congrats to you both👍👍😎😎...Have a great weekend
