      I started out doing manual labor. Whellbarrow, digging, mixing. Hardest work i ever did in my life. Make's a man out of a young punk. I've been going for 3 years strong now im 27 i still have along way to go.

    • @pattyleabo426
      @pattyleabo426 6 років тому +49

      stefone james agreed brother. It definitely made a man of me. I was a young punk and my neighbor put me on some concrete work( forming and Sawing and core cutting and pour back) it made me into a man and I'm also now 27. I live down south in Texas. We don't have any u ions down here so there's a ton of illegal cheap labor being done. Cash operations etc. stay safe my friends. Keep Calm, Pour On!

    Thanks for posting this. Coming from New York City, watching many a high-rise go up, I have always wanted to see the action up on the working deck when the floor slab was being poured. Can't see this from the ground. This video was instructional as to how it's done. It's a labor-intensive process, with skilled workers screeding, floating and troweling. I'll bet those hard workers go home tired after a day of pouring. Terrific video!!

      Pouring at a 3 sucks, but it's usually what they call for with sidewalk, highway and plant work anymore. I stick with building and trades work as much as possible where they'll allow you to place a 6 or 7 and have an easy day.

    This looks like a completely inefficient way to pour concrete. With the workers constantly walking over the poured concrete, therefore someone has to come along and smooth it. Wouldn't it be easier and quicker to start from one and work backwards.

    How did you get the boom pump confined in the opening? Why are you using that thing to screed? My screed has a spirit level on the handle. I like how the slabs getting done in sections I can see the forms. If its done in sections it will cure unevenly that's why the colour changes. I don't have a problem with the look of the column timber but I've had a column accident and that shit is leaning. I was doing a course. I suggested that they use a scaffold system on formwork columns.

    We do it here in LA basically the same way. 15k sf deck a 24 col on avg a core on a 5 day cycle. Pour at 80 to 100cy per hour poured out in 4 hours. Drop columns and pour those too. We stopped taking the core up ahead for the most part. So we catch that too. Done!done!lets go 50+ stories all day long. Only difference is we work in the sun.
    Good job!

The pumper operator 👍 the rakers were Fantastic 👏 the guys on screeds have great eyes 👀 The rakers get serious props because I didn't see more than 3/4" of mud behind the screed. The finishers look top notch as well. Respect boys keep up the good work. Loose that Turner Hivis vest.
