Bollard Repair & Reset

[@erniekeck5823]

Probably would have been nice to put cardboard down around the Bullard to keep from getting yellow paint on the asphalt but other then that GREAT Job Jeff

[@oscaralvarez9724]

Great video 📹 👍 Brother don't forget your safety glasses. I had a bad experience with negligence and been in an emergency room and almost lost my right eye 👁

[@reyhernandez7810]

Thanks for posting. Where is your eye ppe?

[@JeffLepard]

rey hernandez I tend to film not wearing it but next season I'm filming newer videos higher definition and I will include myself wearing safety items! Thanks good eye on that!

[@Vaporisers]

Who cares, are you osha? Lmao

Are these ones stronger than the ones you can buy to bolt down?

[@JeffLepard]

Normally the ones you install with concrete are stronger but the bolt down ones are fine as well they serve its purpose.

[@umlax45]

Bolt down post's are weak. They work well for forklifts or something that makes contact with the post 12" from the ground. A car hits higher, adding leverage on the bolts and the plate and they don't perform well

[@Rizzard93]

Ashphalt ?? What's that?

[@JeffLepard]

It was a bad habit I use to say in my older videos. My new videos and the videos on my new channel are much better!

[@rubiconnz1754]

Was after the post painting tips - Yellow safety paint needed any other tips - need to sand ?

[@umlax45]

I don't sand mine unless it's bad rust. I'm in LA, so they get stickers and hit, so paint just has to be yellow and stick blol. There are also covers

[@umlax45]

Using gravel at the base helps. Drop the post in on top of 3" of gravel. If it's too low, dunp some more into the post or around it and lift it up until they natch in height.

[@mrj-charles6383]

I am OCD and would of painted the fire hydrant also so everything matched.

[@TheNewErachannel]

Did you need an excavator or dug out by hand?

[@JeffLepard]

This one was easy I just dug that one out by hand. Thanks for watching!

[@FreedomFighter79]

Great job 😊

[@Vaporisers]

Hey man sorry if my past comments sounded like a asshole but seriously read this one. we use the Stihl wet/dry 420 saws, idk what yours is but I'm sure it's wet/dry too and we always use water to reduce clean up. Our jobsite is real busy with customers and cars at all times so all that dust wouldn't be good at all, we use a construction trash can 55 gal on wheels,of course and a sump pump. And we have one man cutting and one man running a shop vac getting the concrete slurry up as soon as it comes out. Makes the clean up almost non existent.

[@JeffLepard]

Not a problem! I agree this was a TS 400 saw. Normally when I run this saw and there's no water around I use a portable tank to keep the dust down. Same thing for my diamond core cut walk behind saw. This location wasn't so bad it was far away from vehicles or people. Thanks so much for watching!

[@umlax45]

Nice, yeah the dust is nasty from these saws. I use a 30 gallon barrel for h2o and a 2gal/min pump to feed the saw. Generator powers the shop vac which I empty into another barrel and let it settle and dry before disposal. Also allows for reclamation of water off the top of the barrel for mixing concrete or cleaning tools. Bollards are hard work, props for doing it all by hand except the saw.

[@GootMetal]

How much would it cost for a repair like this?

[@5.7Hemi4x4]

The edge of my property is next to a highway, we're talking about semi trucks going 80 if not more. What would you recommend to add something like this but keeping it esthetically pleasing?

[@JeffLepard]

That's a great question. The only thing I could think of is a bollard unless you are installing something different like a massive rock or some kind of landscape. There's also some really nice bollard covers and custom covers you can buy to slip over the bollard as well. Really a tough decision for you I guess as to what to do.

[@umlax45]

The cost of bollards that can stop 80,000 lbs @ 80mph would be extremely expensive.

[@garyclagett1848]

Good repair , clean job,

[@JeffLepard]

Thanks so much! I will film some videos soon on a brand new install of bollards soon.

[@oceanopescayaventuras8205]

good job

[@justinmcdaniel9559]

How many hours of labor does it take to do all this ?

[@JeffLepard]

It probably took about 8 hours total split over 2 days.

[@Vaporisers]

@@JeffLepard 8 hours split between 2 days for this man????!!! What!?? Last week we installed 8 bollards in one 14 hour day. Cut 14 inch square, jackhammered through asphalt/concrete, dug down 52 inches, set it, came back and capped it with a nice brushed finish. Why on Earth did it take you so long to do one bollard?

[@martybrewer4681]

[@JeffLepard]

Luckily no trucks have hit this in 2 years so far!

[@tdwm9892]

You do not pronounce it bowlard It's pronounced baalard

[@Vaporisers]

Thank you!!!!!!!

[@richardsollenberger2316]

Where are your safety glasses?

[@JeffLepard]

This was an older video but yes i always wear safety glasses. You can see that on my Do It All Sealing Channel. Thanks so much for watching!

[@1230richboy]

You need to take some pride in your work, I don't care if it's in a alley details bro. To much water in the concrete mix, could of used rock base to level the two ballerds, use tack to not only bond the asphalt but seal your edges when your done and at least use cardboard to protect your new asphalt from that yellow paint.

[@JeffLepard]

Thanks so much for watching. If you haven't already check out my new channel Do It All Sealing.

[@ralphvaccaro2638]

No eye protection

[@mikeortiz568]

“Ball-lard” not bull-lard speaking of correct pronunciation.

[@TheTomar33]

All that work, and you over sprayed.

[@DanBollard]

No mask? No safety glasses? For shame... ;)

[@JeffLepard]

Dan Bollard all our new videos we are filming now we are using the safety gear in the videos.

[@Vaporisers]

Bro.... Can you please pronounce your words right? It's ass-fault. Not ash-fault. And ball-erd. Not bull-lard. Also, very sloppy paint job. That should would NOT fly with the construction managers/ superintendents I've worked for.

[@JeffLepard]

My older videos I was pronouncing it wrong I know! My new channel in all of my videos its correct! The client in the video wanted to save money and have it the most cost effective method. Normally, I use my line painter with either traffic paint or a high gloss paint if they want that.
