120 Yard Concrete Foundation Pours (Christmas Special!)

Love warching this work.. These guys are top notch how the work so fast and all.. The 1st time I saw one of those machines Mr Odell was talking about, the 4 foot & 3 foot machines. They're called floats, right? When I was about 5/6 years old my dad brozght me over to a job at midnight to help him while he floated the floor of our local church.. It was brilliant to watch. I didn't want to walk on te floor bcos my dad said it was concrete but it had all this creamy water on top. I thought it was still realky wet and that I'd sink into quicksand. 😂 😂 😂 I loved goibg onto the job at that time being on my summer holidays so me dad would bring me ovwr at night to do some finishibg work on the job. When we movwd to this area where new homes had been built there wasn't even a local shop. No school, Church or anything so my dad go jobs on all the big building jos in the area. It was a brilliant time to be alive in the early to mid and latw 1970's guys. It was the best time I can recall inmy early childhood bcos everything was new.. I probablysoubd like an eejit atm but I'm only reminiscing tbh. 😂 😂 😂 Love the channel btw lads.. Keep making these brillian videos bcos they're helping me out no end. Respect to all the guys on this huve job

What’s the purpose of the tamper after leveling the concrete? Thank you!

[@ExcavationNation]

The tamper? Yeah I'm curious too I've never seen that before looked cool guessing it's to compact it and looks like it brings the cream up very well. Probably really helps for the finisher

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Yes, it knocks the rock down and brings up the cream, also helps in flatting it out

Thank you!

Many years ago in the house (we were living in) and were renovating and the entire suspended concrete flooring was poured, and then allowed to "go off" before that rotary machine was used to smooth out the surface. They finished that night at 2.30 am. Not much sleep tat night as it was like a rotary motor mower running in the next room!

[@royordway9157]

David, this was very interesting. It's nice to see such a big crew that everyone knows what has to be done next. I'm up in Maine and most of our houses are on an eight-foot foundation, sometimes they are not so deep if they are on ledge and the customer doesn't want to pay for blasting. If you haven't watched him, check out Mike Day on KZbin. He does flat work in Maine.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I met with him at World of Concrete

[@trxtech3010]

That is ironic you did a Pour in Arizona! I would love to have you Pout a slab for me in Tucson AZ some day!

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

It's possible TY

[@goMANgo84]

Wow there’s no post tensioning or rebar in the slab 😮

[@Vasilioo7]

we drop the stem walls as rebates that finish 150mm below the house finished floor level. same with garages rebates if the design is to attach house floor as a complete pour. or we pour footings for garages and pour the garage floor with a driveway (after the garage build is complete) as well as another area of the house. so I find this method very interesting.

boy thats crazy thinking about working out there in the summer... thats why the muckers are so good and they don't use wire mesh.. because they would be going insane fighting it in that heat. its not so great where you are for a while too.. thats the thing about the northeast where I'm from theres only about a month where its super humid and hot and I go through a couple Tshirts a day... they should really work at night if the mix plants would stay open... i know auto painters in the southwest that work at night because its too hot for the paint.. Don't understand why they don't have 12 foot tall basements and live in the basement when it gets hot because its cooler but those houses are cheap i guess... expensive to buy but cheap and close together.. anyway nice to see how they work out there looked like a nice group of guys... maybe it was the camera HA! nah they seemed like nice young men...

[@MikeHarris1984]

@@OdellCompleteConcrete About 3-4 hour drive. All the housing out here is post tension slabs. Very rarely are there any footing/rebar type of pours. its cheaper and easier for these builders to have a single 6" slab with no footings that they just lay right ontop of the ground, then do the post tension cables and grade around the house. probably can lift the entire house by the slab, lol.
