The video just kinda ended for me mid sentence? Love the cats :)
😆😅 apparently we uploaded and there was a glitch that we didn't catch lol it's the holiday season and we just missed it i guess #amateurhour. Just laid a bit more block is all u missed
Thanks for letting us know gbu was wondering the same!
@@SailingGoodBadandUgly All good! Just thought you might wanna know. Can't wait for next weeks installment, and I feel ya on the holiday season, I'm itching for a break!
@@SailingGoodBadandUgly How about another cooking episode like you had on the boat? You could use food from your property.
Sucks about the hard cut off ending… like seeing Matt do the work I’m tired of doing these days.
how to pull off a film about laying bricks and pouring concrete....cool tune, Matt drops drill bit, black cat mewows, or, Matt's joke with a straight face, "This is the real deal, American steel" and your reaction Kirsten. This is why we love you guys!! Wonderful episode today😊
W0W! With out tamping down the dirt & using rebar.
That slab is going to look like a Texas road map in a year! Ha!
I was wondering about the missing rebar. They are putting a lot of effort, time and money into their construction and I want to see them succeed. I don’t see how that slab will hold up.
dont forget their in a high clay sedement area. remember thoughs videos of ppl digging homes right out of the dirt and it never colapses on them? thats their area... unlevel settling is way les of an issue, and his placement leads me to believe washout wont be to terrible either..;)
@@lilred1097 sadly it won't
Great Video like always! Two tips for concrete slabs.
1) Put some reinforcement in the slab, type net-reinforcement or at least using chain link fence. Preferably lifted off the ground so it becomes embedded in the concrete. It may not stop cracking 100% but will clearly help a lot and the cracks will be much smaller. Actually, even steel fibers can be used (added at the batching plant), but depends on availability.
2) To give you time for placement AND smoothening of the surface, the batching plant probably has admixture available that can give you a couple of hours extra (or more) of delayed setting. Especially if high temperatures or if you are strapped for manpower. May cost less than extra hands.
Best of luck with the next slabs coming up!!
Funny watching the cat in the last few seconds dipping his paws in the mortar in the wheel barrow.. Keep going guys
Wow. The vast majority of ppl are saying the same thing about there being no aggregate or even rebar... I had the same thought myself when seeing the concrete dude pouring it straight onto the soil.. Soil that is wet all year round. This will significantly change the composition of the foundation that the slab sits on, which will affect the slab itself, which is the base for your building, especially since there is likely to be a lot of weight on it, as you mentioned. Experience tells me if you don't see sinkage, you will most definitely see cracks, especially around the edges. Hate to be that guy, guys, but i hope you don't have issues. Fingers crossed.
I guess someone gave you the same recommendations but you should use wire mesh or iron bars as concrete strengthen..Also you should compact the soil before pouring the concrete..Other recommendation is to shower the concrete with a hose..That avoids fast dry and consequently crakings..
A hose? Umm...did you miss the part where it rains ever 20 minutes?
True, Mat if you had gently wetted the surface of the concrete as it was drying off, you could have floated it off to the mirror finish you wanted. Just something to remember when you pour for the house. And also, use some steel reinforcing in the concrete. It also need to be a lot deeper where the weight of the walls will sit.
Troubled about your concrete pad. I didn’t see a footer dug. I didn’t see any rebar not even wire mesh in the concrete. I wish you guys the best.
You suppose to put mortar on one end of the block before you place it. Ties the blocks together end to end.
Ya: buttering the contact points will tie the blocks together. Smoothing the joints also makes the wall look slick!
Yeah, i know very little about laying block but I did notice this omission 🤔
Slab looks functional. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
That Toyota really has done a yeomans job for you two. Hauling, towing, and just great transportation.
@@jfs63310 I was a little scared for the Taco with all that weight on the tailgate but he proves time and time again Tacos are built different
@josephbuono2062 he's traveling 100 feet with it. A lawn mower would work.
Matt next time use rebar or at least some screen in your pour or have them add fiber to the mix. The rebar uprights are supposed to use epoxy in the holes to glue them in. Your a working machine bro. Glitter dun
MAT, you are definitely HARDCORE! When it's all done, hug your wife and then the cat, tis, a good way to end a day.
My Mom & Dad laid a full sized basement for a 4bedroom home,just the two of them they’re a real team
Matt, maybe you could use a concrete resurfacer on the that rough pad. Just a thought. You're a very hard working man with lots of good ideas. You have my respect.
Great episode, Matt you are one very driven guy, Kristen must be very proud of you. This has been quite the journey I have been on with you guy's.
The cat says whats this! Lets put my paw here and find out! Take Care
lol I seen that also.
What a sweet cat.
Keep on your grind brother cause when its all said and done real hard knows real hard. Great Video.
I just love watching your videos, the way work is amazing, I can not wait to see the results and also the way you two work on your property, you will have things the way you want sooner than you think♥🙏
Matt is one hard working man of steel! He ain't affraid to do it all. You got a good man there but you know that!❤
First time I did concrete MR no gloves had no finger prints for months ! 70 now wish I didn't do that Live and learn!
Rubber Gloves a MUST !!!
In Seattle the rain never stopped construction on the job site , your not alone .
All looks great Matt. Keep it going. . Living off of a generator sucks pretty quick . Folks don't understand till they do it . .
While you are making a "concrete" slab, you typically need to incorporate steel reinforcement, commonly called "rebar", within the concrete to significantly increase its tensile strength and prevent large cracks, especially in situations where the slab will experience heavy loads; essentially, the steel works with the concrete to create a stronger structure overall.
This video ended about as abruptly as Matt's blockwork in a rainstorm! 🤣
👋👋MATT I HOPE YOU SEE THIS COMMENT I SEEN YOU USING THE CUT OFF WHEEL . I HAVE A VERY CLOSE FRIEND COUPLE WEEKS USING SAME THING CUTTING REBAR WITH OUT THE SHIELD. IT JUMPED AND HIT HIS CHEST AND STOMACH 2 DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL AND 16 STAPLES HE ALMOST BLEED OUT. PLEASE PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL. YOU TWO KEEP UP WITH THE GREAT WORK.
I grew up in Puerto Rico we had tarps on ropes strung over any job site or else your stuck in the rain
You need a 10x10 pop tent to keep the rain off you and charge through. You are doing a great job despite the challenges. I admire your attitude to persevere despite the challenges.
When I pour Crete I tell the drive to shoot the water to it. I want it self leveling. And like you said about getting help, I know you pride yourself on doing things yourself but a little help when it comes to Crete could be the difference between well you know now I toldgee
I know you are able to Superman Larry Lamanoto, however, get a helper when Concrete Carl comes to visit!!
You all are tough and keep building despite the chaos of life. I'm proud of yall and happy to see you push through the annoying things so well. Wishing you the best on the new build!
I've watched nearly since the beginning when Matt swam out to secure some careless idiots boat on his own dime during a hurricane with scarcely any thanks.
MATT! YOU DO MATT! It's the one thing you do PERFECTLY!
The rest of the stuff you do is pretty damn good too, just do Matt.
Matt weathers the downpour of critical armchair sailors, builders and
homesteaders more than he does the rain... with Kristen by his side...
What a team, together you do GBU perfectly!
HAPPINESS IS AN ATTITUDE,
not an emotion.
lets gooooo.. havent seen u guys on my feed in over a yr and just randomly thought of you and sv delos.... i just finished benge watching the intire series of your new land adventure!!!!! hate to see you guys leave the sailing world but i really do love what your doing now!! love you guys!! sorry i missed so much!!
I hacked and sweat and such too when I was getting my place set up. You're doing just fine. Thanks, Guys.
No rebar ? Youll really help yourself if you researched the make up of structural slab . The wall dowels should be tied into the floor slab or atleast 150mm chemfixed.
Where’s the rebar?? Concrete crumbles without it. Crack central.
Yo, Matt and Kristen, Kristen and Matt, super duper Matt and lovely Kristen. Always enjoy your episodes, you two are so handy, well take care and thanks for bringing us along and see you next Sunday. Love your cats and bats, wait a minute, no bets hehe, see you later alligator.❤❤
Hey there Matt, what happened to the elec. mixer, I noticed the wheelbarrow
Awesome work,I’m sure it will be great when done
Gotta wait for next instalment as this ended real quick
You Two hanging, Great
🇨🇦 Cdn. Dave 🇨🇦
Matt, take a few gallons of water in a bucket and add a cup of muriatic acid to it. Ise that to rinse your hands and wash off your arms in followed by a clean rinse. The acid neutralizes the base of the concrete!!
Lime or lemon juice also works.
Matt love all your innuendos. Keep up with the great videos both of you.
Hey Mat, you first build up the corners and then work with a string; that way, it becomes evenly straight, and you're faster. 😃
You both are hard working wonderful people.
I’ve done a lot of concrete work and there are a lot of variables when it comes to cracking concrete. Soil density thickness of slab and concrete chemical mix also. If you aren’t going to be running heavy machinery on it who cares also rebar won’t stop the concrete from cracking but it
Will tie it together and limit it from having uneven levels of concrete over the years and with a block building like that it will help prevent the walls cracking with the floor.
Would you like some cheese with that whine Matt 🙄 wha wha wha always throwing his toys out of the stroller 😂
You guys are so funny n love the way y’all are learning n teaching some of us as well! ❤
Concetes when set drinks water.Always put plastic(uk is called visqieen) underneath and up sides of concete as a water barrier.Before building walls use a damp course (roll of plastoc)
Both of you should have used the leveling board back and forth about 6 inches slowly and got the concrete much smoother and flatter. The truck driver is not usually used to work the concrete. it is up to the masons. The driver is needed to move the chute to keep the proper amount going down and place it carefully. You need to get the cream up to the top so you can have a smooth finish without a lot of time doing it.
Could set the block and bard on the concrete it will help a hole lot. You could always level with tiles. Like you did on your entry of the property
I enjoy having my Sunday breakfast watching your videos and I appreciate the high quality entertaining content. If you ever need free Construction consulting from a licensed residential general contractor in Florida, please let me know. You have the work ethic and the skills and I could help you cover all the bases. There were quite a few simple things you could have done to make this slab and block work go better and the building to be much more sound. Especially in your climate.
I guess the Huel check bounced 🤣💰💰
P.s. no rebar in the pad??? Can you say hurricane...
Matt, call PosiGen for the latest Federal Subsidy with respect to the new Solar Shed. Looking real nice, your a true beast.
Hi Matt.
That is a nice driver/ operator helping you float the poar.
That will not happen over here in my hometown 😅
No Gravel, no Rebar and no Joints, Probably going to see a lot of cracks and chipping with the hot and damp Weather you get there. No mortar between the Blocks????
Just makes me feel good watching you do all the work and I don't have to do any
If it really rains that much in your PR location, consider getting a 10'x10' popup tent to cover your work area and can be moved easily. Consider something larger (party tent) for house build. They are not that expensive, will allow working in rain and make for a cooler work area due to shading.
Matt, your determination is an inspiration to everyone. You totally rock!
Glad they got the concrete truck down there, that was a huge help.
You've got this! Love to you both! Regards, Myk
Brother, stop being so hard on yourself. You're the hardest-working padre on the planet with an amazing grafting little lady It looks perfect.
People that let failure dictate their outcome never realize just how close they were to success.
The music is MUCH better today!!! THANKS
Dont worry about concrete it is what it is good enough for a solar wash rm
"Real Deal American Steel" - merch alert!
14:23 there is shade on your pad where the solar panels go??? Just waiting to cut down the trees 🎉
Sure looks hard to work around the weather there daily. But you somehow manage to get things done anyway. Thumbs Up!
I got a couple of cats myself bro so I know the feelings, keep up the good work 👍 ✌️
Best part about that concrete pour was learning how not to do it for when it matters. Money well spent.
One way to give you more time to work with concrete is to put plastic sheeting under it. The moisture doesn't suck out as fast.
You guys are awesome. What a great team.
You are only as good as your last job. That's what my concrete boss once said 😅
Haha, nothing like a time-lapse to see how much those blocks weigh. That truck's suspension took it!
Ya's all gots cut short dere !!!! lol
Thought about getting a ez-up tent to put over parts of project to work
It only takes one bad 🍏 🍎 to spoil the whole barrel. My Saying of the week. 🤷🏻♀️ whole vs. 🕳️ hole lol. For what it’s worth. lol
No rebar or relief cuts? That's going to be one cracked up slab in no time.
I Love this channel. Sending all my ❤from Guam.
What is done is done … now do a second pour yourself using your mixer but put down some rebar and I would add the fencing wire for good measure as you haven’t compacted the soils first and it will eliminate the risk of bad concrete specs and issues that come with manually and slowly pouring the next “slab” … add your plastic sheet (not much you can do to the walls now they will soak up water from the bottom floor maybe use epoxy paint for the inside and it rains so much there so the outside maybe ok with the regular paint the locals use
Hopefully you "learned" to hire a couple of guys to do finish work behind you as you continue the pour.
You are a hard working man 💫
Maybe a portable tent that you can park cars under would be a good option for each work site.
Remember the rain is a blessing...
First time I went to Puerto Rico a guy yelled at me Hey your from the states aren't you I said yes why He said because your moving way too fast! Got it!
Poor kitty, hope he/she is alright!
I saw the kitty puts its paws in mortar.
No anchor points set in the slab? Ohh drilled in. Next time take a block there before the pour you could just go around the edges making a print to poke the rebar into. Then smooth out the marks.
Matt the work horse....keep up the good work mate..watching from Down Under ...love your work mate....👍👍👍👍👍👍
Matt, you are working machine!…. Very impressive!
Use a party tent.....and stay dry.
Use Gloves, your hands and your wife will thank you, and I add myself to the list about the rebar on the concrete...maybe there are ways to fix it...But please make sure to tamper the soils and use the rebar for the house. Good Luck !!! rains in PR had gone off the rails for a while...And thank you for the cats and showing them...I have 3 , a girlfriend, and 2 Pals....
why wouldn’t you raise it up higher so it’s not so flat to the dirt because when water comes you’re just gonna have water on your pad you should’ve made it like three inches higher and even 4 inches higher to keep the water below the slab
ending was like something was cut off
I must admit, you guys really cheer me up. Matt, you my friend are an inspiration to so many people. You tackle anything and everything. More strength to you elbow from London, England. If you guys ever stop producing videos, I will haunt you both when I kick the bucket.
I have always laid up the corners first. Then filled in.
You can always have them add ICE to the concrete to slow the temp rise, and they have additives to slow the set
I think you should have raised pad up a few inches ..
As always great job Matt. For solar signature solar has systems. If you plan for what you need and not what you think you need a smaller system will suit you ok. If you have an import fee such as in Hawaii go to Miami and out the system on the boat and sail home
Well, since Puerto Rico is tropical, you should have less issues with concrete suffering freezing and ground movement , I guess.
why no rebar it is going to crack wet it while it cures that way you will increase the MPA of the concrete
Working in the rain sucks. Looks like it kept washing out the mortar in the vertical joints. Hope you had a good sunset to make up for it 😊
It will catch up quick after that but it'll give you time to get on it and do a little bit of flattening and finishing
Seems to be a little tension between the two. 🤷♂️
