- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Time to fill this massive footer trench with concrete. The pump is here along with the concrete truck and I couldn't be happier to get this part of the project behind me. I don't think Ill soon forget how much work it was to get to this point in the footer. teespring.com/...

My mom and sisters pressed flowers and four leaf clovers in books. My grandmother Taught all us grandchildren how too sew on rainy days boys too. One rainy day we made net hoops for all the dried and presses flowers, the four leaf clovers were put in for luck. That’s a good looking footer, what a mile stone! All good things from there. Thanks for sharing.
I started watching this site because as I've neared retirement I'm learning to machine stuff and Steve has things to teach me. I stayed because I have feared for my country since we turned away from trades and told our kids that it was college or failure.
Steve gives me hope.
Plus, it's fun to watch a guy that thinks in thousandths fret over mud in a ditch.
It's a youtube channel.
Do a Mike Rowe search on UA-cam and see what he thinks about trade school verses college.
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'VE PUT IN AN UNBELIEVABLE HARD SLOG TO GET TO THIS POINT AND YOU'VE WELL AND TRULY EARNT IT, CHEERS FROM DOWN UNDER
Your welding is the same caliber as your concrete forms! MUCH MUCH better than most are capable of.
Boy nothing feels better than standing on the new concrete. Always so much more than what you see when it's cured. Millions of house footers have been poured without vibrating and at a much lower psi mix. Looking at the steps having no honeycombs when you pulled the forms. You're good. When you stage your block - put your best looking down to be laid last. The chipped and less pretty laid first down in the ground. May have to conference with your block layer if you are staging block yourself. There's as many ways to set up and lay block as there is masons to do it. Good as it feels standing on the footer, just imagine how good it will feel standing on cured floor. Thanks for sharing
I like it tat you lock the doors, while one full wall is missing! :)
Gotta be safe... like wearing a mask with your nose uncovered...
A crackhead thief wouldn't have figured that out, I bet he would have still tried to break the lock.
O N
It's so they can't just roll out the big things unless they cut the lock if they decide to steal stuff. They'd have to take stuff over all that construction area & that would be tough taking a 2,000 lb machine that way. I doubt Steve would have much trouble in his area but you never know who is floating around any location.
Pretty sure it was just Steve’s sense of humor, since he removed the tarp immediately after unlocking the door.
Keeps honest people out. Lol
Every bit of this job is above the call in difficulty, hard labor, tenacity, and patience, but the most impressive part to me so far, has been the trackhoe operator being able to put aside working on a cliff and just a tarp to keep it off gis mind. Bravo to all....
8-10 yards of concrete through a 2" hose is remarkable. As a kid on the farm, we used to put tons of hay through a 2" hose which is also a feat. Of course that tube was in a cow. :-)
I bet it came out about the same consistence too.
I am SO impressed with how hard you work. Beautiful work.
That small pump was what you wanted for your job. They got the job done without the forms falling apart or getting knocked apart.
Nice job, Steve, your hard work is paying off. You'll be coming down the home stretch before you know it.
Congratulations Steve ,you have worked extremely hard to get to this point. Love you’re work ethic and attention to detail , Elizabeth is also a great help on this project.. Best wishes from down under 🇦🇺
100% That is not going to fail what so ever. It's all downhill from now on. Sticking with you to see the finished project.
Its so refreshing to see someone doing constructive, positive things while others in the world are hell bent on just destroying things. Also wanted to thank you for the past video on the Jacobs 18N ball bearing chuck, I had one that was jammed up, took it apart like you showed in your video and now she is as smooth as silk, good tip on marking the three jaws....if you don't do that you may never get the thing back together correctly.
Whew! What a relief you must feel right now. Glad you waited until you had a clean dry footer to show at the end. I'd have died if you had stopped when the pour was done and the concrete was still wet but the forms were on and the plastic was not on yet. THANK YOU for including the entire process in this video. Looking great - Peanut approved and frog verified.
thank goodness for your patrons, lot of work, certainly lots better than before, reinforce and fill those blocks with as much concrete as you can.
if it's not overbuilt it's underbuilt. which is wrong. drove mixer for ten years and saw lots of jobs. you did a great job. thanks for the memories of concrete work.
Tom Lipton has a motto that is applicable to your footings: Nothing too strong ever broke.
Good work!
Wow, hadn't realized the metallic 3D printing had come that far. That piece was definitely NOT cheap.
Oh my back watching the gentleman with the hose. That is a looonng work day. So is you playing with a pile of block. If your kids don't love you now they will in 50 years when the shop is still standing.
Say Hi to the Nuts for me.
We've used that 2" trailer pump to pump grout down the webs of block walls. So up in the air on scaffolding. I've never seen one used on the ground before. On the ground you use the 6" hose. Dragging a 6" hose around will put a kink in your back too. Some days I'd lay on the floor to try to straighten my back out.
Metallic 3D printing isn't so rare these days. You could get it done at Shapeways or i.materialise. You pay a nominal setup fee then a bit more than $10 (it quotes in £ for me) per cc of material used. Complexity in the part comes for free, if it's in your model.
I'm afraid to ask but how much do you think a piece of tubing like that would even cost? I imagine it could be used in automotive applications once its cheap enough for that integrated heat exchange.
Glad to see things moving forward!
Steve, looks like the pour settled very well, not leaving any voids. It's their responsibility to offer you or recommend why or why not to use a vibratory system. They are the cement professionals and should have communicated it up front. Our best laid planning never seems to overcome the possible complications a contractor brings to the job site, i.e., driving vertical rebar into your forms! I guess they needed a way to determine height when no forms where there. Good video and glad you got your foundation finally poured. Looking for the series to continue until the shop is back together.
That's one giant step for mankind
Nice the footing is done, Big job. Another Big job cleaning block but will save a lot of bucks. It will get easier from here. Nice job Steve.
Ancient system for pouring concrete, but fun to watch!
unlocking the building then walking back to the tarp to get in has become a classic, get's me everytime :D
We keep blocks damp with a hose. It helps prevent the motar joints from drying out maintaining a good bond. Good job on the old blocks
LoL. You lost me at pressure washing the block. As a contractor I gotta say I love watching your amateur project. Your tenacity in attacking problems that most people would run to me about is admirable. Some of the issues you tackle - like the bank reinforcement - would be beyond my comfort zone. Very nice content!
Looked like they had some slime on them from being near the ground.
Great determination and focus sir. Great videos. Great narration.
Yes that oscillating saw is one of those tools you never knew you needed until you have one. Excellent progress.
When you need a multitool no other tool quite does it.
Don't forget when you start laying those block to have a case of beer with you so you can back fill the empties into the wall ;-)
Yeah really😁
In my house we tore down a wall and between the studs was soda beer and spray foam bottles.
@@SteveSummers I tore down buildings that were built in 1900s and there were beer bottles in the basment brickwork. Its tradition!
When I remodeled my kitchen I put a piece of paper on the wall with a notation, "What are you doing looking back here?" Maybe someone will get a kick out of that 40 years from now.
@@ALSomthin my old shop in the UK I dug out the basement it had clay pipes (smoking pipes ) and beer mugs in the foundations go figure there was a pub next door ,,
Nice, Steve. Congratulations! My own tendencies towards overkill is nodding my head in approval.
I'm I member of the "too strong, too exact and overthink everything" group myself LoL.
Over-kill is better than under-kill.
Enjoyed Steve!
ATB, Robin
Great work Steve.
what a crazy pump,awesome
A friend of mine did construction work on the side and could lay block and pour footers. He used grade stakes too but used 2x2 wood stakes . He would pound them about an inch below grade and then pound a small nail down to grade height . When the footer was poured they went up to the top of the nail then pounded nail below the surface and left the stake and nail in the mix . He told me how important it was to get it level as every low spot had to be later filled with mortar. It was much easier for him later when he laid the block . Your footer looks great and should work perfectly .
Really happy for you man. I've been in the same situation, rebuild and repair my own shop so I can have safety and good working conditions. You'll be up and running in no time. ⚒️👆👍
You are a very lucky man. You have a patch of four leaf clover!
Wow Steve!! That looks fantastic. It’s a very nerve wracking thing to have that much mud on your hands!! just finished an 18’x30’x6” slab for my new shop a few weeks ago. The front dumper concrete truck w/ 10 yards (80k lbs. btw) busted up my neighbors concrete driveway driving up to the site. More money, as usual, but we live and we learn. Hopefully I’ll pick up a Bridgeport milking machine one day.
The last time I had a pump truck show up was 1982. As two young engineers, the money spent that day was months of savings.
Laughed out loud when you started picking four leaf clover. We went for a visit with my daughter and her family yesterday and when she set my 9 month old grandson down in the grass he immediately started picking clover flowers and eating them. His sixteen year old sister decided she would try one and spit it out pretty quick.
Hi glad to see this milestone
Hooray! You finally have the critical part of rebuilding your shop wall behind you. That foundation wall will probably be there forever.
I used to think that about reinforced concrete too. But eventually the rebar will rust and blow the concrete up as it expands. It will take a long time but it'll happen eventually. Might be hundreds of years? You should see this smokestack anchor block I poured once. It was a solid 120 cubic yard cube and it was reinforced every 6 inches in every axis. You could feel the heat coming off it from 5 feet away while it was setting up. It was quite a chunk of reinforced concrete. But even it won't be around forever. Longer than we will though.
You have me wanting to get my rear patio extension poured. Looks like I'll be doing some digging next week to get ready.
Neat piece of welding there Steve
Good job pal, you have done well there it's not going anywhere
Beautiful tig welds glad the pour went well best of luck to your endeavors
The supervising squirrel needs a clipboard and hardhat.
That was some really nice welding, for a dirt and concrete guy. LOL Keep up the great work.
Good job Steve!👍
Looks great Steve. Damn sight easier that the wheelbarrow. Regards from Ireland
Never seem a slump pump double-up as a dance partner before. That lady likes her machine, lol
The shaking of the concrete is not something the customer should think about, but that's what the craftsman you hired is to say to you.
I live in the Netherlands and we don't have any stone land there
Who has to pair concrete from sometimes up to 25m in the ground
But I think you're making a perfect foundation.
It is nice to see someone who tries to live with nature and enjoys it rather than seeing it as an inconvenience .
Nice. It's a milestone. Now the only thing you have to do is to lay all the cinder blocks. And voilà - a refurbished workshop is ready to go.
Hola meu amigo Steve,parabéns por mais esta etapa vencida!!!T a ficando muito bem reforçada esta parede!Forte abraço aqui do Brasil!
The unlocking sequence always gives me the giggles. And you're so deadpan about it.😂😂😂😂😂
Dear Steve, it's nice that we don't have to do everything ourselves, and I look forward to bricking the blocks. I am sure it will be a perfect wall. Greetings, Jaap.
Looks great! Soon you can start hoarding machines in an unprecedented scale :)
We buy 10,000 yards of concrete a year and I still get an adrenaline rush on Pour Day. Looks like the forms held, and happily, no need for the vibrator. Those guys did a pretty good job for you.
Well done!
Great job!!Steve
Gday Steve, the concrete trucks in the states are a lot different in there setup then here in Australia, ours here are rear load, the concrete pump did a good job, anything’s better the using a wheel barrow, I think you have done the right thing by going that bit extra on the footings, the walls are only as good as the floor the sitting on, your welds looked really nice on the 3D printed part, I’d hate to think what that was worth the get printed, I guess it’s not far away until the walls start taking shape, I bet you can’t wait to see it all finished, great progress mate, thanks for the update, take care, Matty
There is a mix of front and rear concrete trucks here in the US. The front dump are generally a shorter truck as you don't have the cab sticking out like the rear load and you can have extra axles under the mixer to carry more weight.
i have pumped and poured many many footings and walls commercial and resident and that is over kill i am all for that nothing to worry about great job with footings
I've always used grade stakes with no problem. Concerning rust which you probably never see . All the rebar will eventually rust.
Nice looking truck with the Wildcat mascot. We have some around here that have the Razorback mascot.
Cuuute froggie! Rather nonplussed...
Steve, congratulations, what a milestone, and all your forms did well! Isn't is such a pleasure taking forms off concrete? So satisfying!
Unlocks building, goes outside takes tarp down Classic.
Looking good steve
Looks good,nice job
I can't understand why you don't have a million subs, you deserve it.
Please consider a bay window on the stream wall. I can guarantee you will enjoy it as you can then see up and down the stream.
I do hope you cover the economics of work like this. So many channels never mention the dollars involved out of some silly regard to modesty. Understanding as much of the scope of the project as possible completes our understanding of all you've been through and all that is required to undertake such a project. Thanks for all the vid's. I've not missed any of the construction.
Concrete delivered in a truck usually runs about $130 a cubic yard. Depends where you are precisely what it costs. But that's the national average. So 10 yards in the truck was about $1,300 Now if he took too long to unload it they can charge extra for that too. They usually give you about 20 minutes. So I'm thinking he probably paid there too. Full blast you can empty a truck in 6 minutes. Plants don't like you tying up their equipment or drivers. Not when he could be out delivering another load.
Hi Steve - Your footings look fine to me. Because the pump was slow I doubt if there is much air in the concrete so the vibrating does not matter. I hope you are going to lay the blocks your self then it gets done how you want it. If you now want it up quick then get a brickie in, 2 days and it will be up to window height.
I could watch that pumping all day. Something primeval. And pretty words too.
4 leaf clover! get some lottery tickets!!
Your looking just great Steve. I AM SURE THEY LIKED THE FORM WORK. IT ALL LOOKS GREAT BUD.
Nice video Steve. I can’t believe with all you’ve done (by yourself mostly)........and how far you’ve come, someone could give you a thumbs down. Beautiful welding there. Thank You For Sharing 👍👍👍
Steve & Family including supervisor peanuts, great video, content, & insight into concrete pouring & the different styles of block, thanks very much for sharing your video.!.!.!.
This series is so good. Thanks for filming it
After 20 years Steve, I don't miss concrete work at all (@@)! Yes, setting grade pins for elevation has been around since the Egyptians :)> NIce day for placing it too...I had an engineer make this remake at a job meet in 1988 in CT.."You place concrete, and if you pour it,,,its to wet",,never will forget his remark,,hehe!
Bravo Steve, Bravo. I know you've been working towards this portion of the rebuild for a long time. Now we get to see the block laying. I can't wait. Thumbs Up! Oh. your TIG welding ability is superb!
Fantastic you're getting there,,, blimey that camera is sensitive, at 22.09 I could've sworn there was a mosquito in my head,,,,, but it was one of yours thanks!!!
Nice beads on those heat exchangers. Rockin' the cup takes a little time and practice to master. Looks like that sure wasn't your first rodeo!
I think we've all been waiting for this and it worked out really well. Very pleased for you :) Still not done, but it's the end of the beginning. I hope you have thought about those windows, it got to have windows man!
Thanks Steve for showing the footing pour! Glen from OKC, OK
Beautiful weld Steve and congratulations on a successful concrete pour.
Good job!
Nice Job Steve, Great progress.
Steve, I think Tom Lipton says that "Nothing too strong ever failed". Archimedes said something about a good place to sand and he'd smooth the world. Thanks for sharing the update.
Normally you'd spend the first hour trying to get the truck un-stuck on the job sight. Nice to see the progress !
Been There!
dang that is a lot of work... looking good
Nice to have those big ole footers in. Ready to get that block going and building again. I think Peanut did a great job watching over the project.
Concrete crew without a single vibrator? Seems odd to me - looks really good Steve.
After all that hard work, there's finally concrete in the ground, congrats dude, you did it, I know you slept well that night. You've found the perfect use for that Vegetable Shortening, that's all its good for, it's certainly not fit for human consumption.
I find the concrete to be the most stressful part of any project. Glad it went well for you
I've been on big commercial pours that were burning up $33,000 a minute in payroll alone. So I've seen some stressed out people. They look like if you stuck a pin in them they'd pop! We call those people the customers. It is nice to walk up to them and reassure them sometimes. Say something like, Don't worry we'll get it. We always do. It is fun to watch the relief wash over their faces. heh
Nice job on the footings. All the hard work really pays off👍
Congratulations Steve. That stream is not going to take your workshop away.
This has been a long time coming. The footer looks great. As much of the work that you have shown, there is more that isn't in the videos. It's nice to have a wife who isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. May GOD Bless and keep you throughout the rest of this project. That was some beautiful welding.
I need those 4 leaf clovers. They can help it stop raining over here and I can get my concrete poured.
Looking good, nice start.
