A Failing Front Porch...It's Gotta Go!!

[@johng170]

Hi Tom i just want to comment on your description of the work you and the guys are doing ! You very clearly explain the whole process which is Kudo's to you !! Keep on keeping on !! Love your channel and learn so much from you about concrete ! ( just a FYI i worked in a cement plant for 30 years) Was a crane operator , Electrician , instrument repairman, Electrical supervisor and Production supervisor. I ended up before retiring setting up the SAP software system for the plant maintenance of the whole chain of plants. As I listen to you and watch how you manage your crew you have a winning way of dealing with everything you tackle !!! Keep up the Great work and videos, just so you know i found you after watching Outdoors with the Morgans. Just thought it would nice to let you know that FYI :) Thanks again John

Very nice. Always clean when you leave. That's why you stay busy.

[@flowerstone]

I like the small jobs. Takes a bit of finesse to make it look nice. Looks great. 😊

[@warrenjohnknight.9831]

As always that the pour is definitely all in the detailed details, perfectly fine detailed. 😊😊😊.

Fires in mulch are hard to put out and can/will flair up later.

[@toddpacheco4748]

Tom another day of rocking and rolling always a pleasure watching your videos 😮😊❤

You men done an excellent job there. A lot of folks don't realize how much work and effort goes into a small project such as this. Nor realize how small or non-existent the profit margin is in little jobs like these. Might recommend to the homeowner to paint that tapered riser a contrasting color to make folks aware there is a possible trip hazard I am always astounded at the high level of quality y'all consistently turn out.

Terrific replacement project. The curves were perfection! It looks so clean underneath, again perfect! There's a downside, though - the cracked up driveway looks worse now with the new, perfect concrete next to it. Good job, guys. Nice video, Tom. Thanks for sharing.👍❤️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@jasongentle6446]

Nice job as always Tom lots of in and out on that project 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇸👍👍

[@barryhoneycutt3894]

Nice, love it when a plan comes together :)

[@johncrishock9317]

Tommy, your team's attention to detail is why you are excellent at your craft.

[@ronallen6578]

As in every trade, or at least it should, attention to detail is what makes a good job a great job. A mediocre job into a lousy job. If you can't do it right, then do something else😊

[@Z-Bart]

A very inviting front walk and porch that they will enjoy for years and years. Job well done.

[@toddmatson4179]

Back in 93 the company I worked for bought 10 Oshkosh Front discharge mixers…Price tag was $90k each…

[@richardkaufman1643]

I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Great job!

[@lyleharkness-rv5vf]

Nice project 👍 Love the attention to detail

[@RyanLamont-rf4gs]

You are excellent at concrete ! Terrible at cutting with gas 😂. Love the videos

[@pitbull4029]

Nice job rebuilding the porch and sidewalk next to the big cracks in the driveway.

[@fyrman9092]

Next year

[@mauricerichard3611]

Excellent work !!

[@ronallen6578]

Seeing that rusted out decking reminded me of the garage fiasco last year---yeowch😱😱😱😱😱. In all honestly I was thinking quite a bit more for a new mixer. Good thing I don't own a mixing plant 😊😊

[@jacklachman5304]

GOOOOOD MORNING EVERYONE & HAPPY TGIF TO ALL THE M-F working folks out there….Tom yinz never disappoint. Small job but a lot to it. Imho Nice work as always Have a day

[@jaimelago8941]

Tom another one very nice job😊

[@kat2641]

That was a tuff call.. but you can only work with what angles you have available. Yes is a toe stub but it can not be helped 🤷🏻‍♂️ Looks really really nice job. Wonder how a shale stone pattern on the steps would of looked against the brick 🤔

[@pm1104]

Lovely job guys .! 😊

[@johnnylindsey5808]

Good job guys

[@NSResponder]

How did the old decking get wet and rust out? Was there condensation from below, or inflltration through the surface?

[@alfredomarotta6604]

Nice a not too small job😊. As always great job 👍👍 ....Might be a bad cracked "flag" (section) in the driveway replacement in the future, if it was my house and their money$...I would've cut a section across, (the size of the steps) the concrete would've matched the stairs nicely, like if it was planned. No ?😊

[@ronwig7665]

Good job tom

[@irispresley3182]

Beautiful as always ❤

[@macdawg6403]

Nice Vid!

[@terrancesnyder9323]

Good morning to you all

[@johnsandell4501]

Always 👍👍👍

[@kenpool8507]

Very nice

[@injuneer7942]

Surprised at this one. Most localities now require doors to "walk out" onto a surface the same height as the door to eliminate the trip hazard. You could have easily added 2-3 more steps to accommodate the chance in elevation. I'm sure you did what the owner wanted, but shouldn't you inform them of these requirements? Just a curious question .....

[@Treehandler]

This is likely considered as a repair and not new construction so if there was a rule it likely wouldn’t apply here. There would also be added cost to install a railing if there were more steps so I’ll write this one up as the Hauses got this one right and the property owner will be thrilled

[@GunpowderandFreedom]

In our area, our code is one step down onto a 3’ minimum surface. Thanks for watching!

[@mudbunny6388]

We were always allowed one threshold step and at least a three foot landing below that on all exterior entrances. We were also allowed just steps from a garage floor to other entrance but only in garages. Maybe state by state variation.

[@stephengmeiner3264]

It’s my understanding in northern locations that you have to have a step down to allow for snow. Otherwise the snow will block the storm door from opening.

[@mudbunny6388]

I was a contractor in Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, and North Dakota, and all those states allowed a threshold step. I don't know their reasoning, but I'd have to guess because of snow and ice.

Another great pour!
