DOG GONE CONCRETE!!!! Pole barn floor with drain part 2

This video is part two of My uncle Bob's pole barn with trench drain. In part one I showed you how to set the drain. Now in part two I will show you how to pour the concrete at a pitch to the drain so everything flows to the drain. Funny thing happened and a dog runs through the concrete during the pour.

[@georger1952]

Really like the chute…. Great idea.

[@georger1952]

I was reminded of the time we brought a truck in under low wires.. he fit until the truck was unloaded then got the wires after unloading. Pays to watch.

[@tommckinney3947]

Dog, cats and little kids! You got to laugh! Autographs are ok since it's usually the owners. Good to see you using the chute again.

[@bondobuilt386]

Ya the chute works awesome to save money from pumping. 👍

[@bondobuilt386]

thanks Tom for the comments buddy.

Poured my floor in my 30x40 at 7" in the flat and 10" around edges at 330 pm. 45 ° overnight we didn't walk away till 545 am. Around midnight we hung 3 torpedo heaters from the trusses and stapled some tarps up. Maintained 80° for 3 days ! Done didder. I also didn't want it slippery when wet otherwise we'd be there till 10 am ! Good vid guys...good vids. East central MN here btw

[@darrelwilson2875]

Great videos. Love to watch you guy's work. Wish you were in Wyoming. I have a 30 × 40 shop to put up, and I need a slab. The Frost line is like 5 ft deep. I see a lot of broken garage floors from the heaves. I could sure use your expertise.

[@vincentmeyers9365]

Thank you for your simple and thorough explanations of what you do!

[@jasonjones846]

Good teamwork! I’ve been learning a lot from you and have watched all your videos. The people I’ve been following on KZbin university have been inspiring me to start my own channel.

[@chadhuntley3451]

Thoroughly enjoy watching these!!!

[@stevesmoes6872]

It's the worst when the mud is slow and your by yourself. It is always difficult to give it time to set. We would always add another 1/2 percent to our late load to have it catch up to the earlier load. I had many a nights finishing until 11:00 or 12:00 at night. Turned out nice. Keep it up.

[@bondobuilt386]

Thanks Steve. I can't leave until it's what I want for a finish. One time I stayed all night finishing a slab. Slept in between hits. That's what we do bud. 👍

[@butopiatoo]

what dedication, surprised no one stayed to learn how this kind of situation is handled. best learning sometimes happens when things don't go as planned. incredible work.

[@bondobuilt386]

Yes exactly what I say. Things that go wrong is when you learn the most.

[@Atlantismonkey40]

I’m so impressed by some people’s ability to change with situations. Kinda sucks that it went that way. Yet the job was still done. Work is work, not fun time at the zoo. You have to bend at times. Those that don’t are just angry people, not good to be around. Then it becomes a harder working job, everyone is more tired at the end of the day. Nice job.

[@bondobuilt386]

Thanks Allen. You are correct. adaptability is important in this line of work. 👍😊

[@aday1637]

This is why I don't do concrete work. When I was in my 20's, I worked on several large structural concrete jobs in DC back in the early 70's. We'd pour all day and all night, then finish. 90 trucks on some decks. We'd pour summer, winter, spring and fall. We had to work in shifts to work and or insulate and heat on occasion. I swore off that type work and never looked back.

[@RJM1011]

Nice work well done. Yeah I still have cat tracks at my Fathers home from 30 years ago ! LOL

[@bondobuilt386]

That's funny. Lmao 😂

[@SinnisjInsulator]

Oh no that poor dog with concrete on the paws lol. Man I'll be a concrete master after watching all these videos lol. Great idea on the drain.

[@Mouse2677]

[@doylemarkham1010]

It is nice to know that quality means a lot to you.

[@bondobuilt386]

Thanks. Yes it does 😊

[@_GntlStone_]

Learning a lot from your videos. Needing to pour a small slab or gravel pad soon, so trying to learn as much as possible. Unfortunately when my father, a road engineer, and grandfather, a master mason of the old school, were still here I didn't know enough to learn more. I think you'd be inpressed with my grandfather's house, an homage to brick, concrete, and cruhsed red stone planter beds, with the concrete encapsulating the house. Have you considered putting some wheels on your awesome chute? Large ones that won't be a problem with the mesh or sub rock, with locks on one side to keep it where you need it. Thanks from downstate Long Island.

[@bondobuilt386]

Sounds like a real nice place your gramps place. Ya i thought about the wheels on the chute. 👍😊

[@mariowickel456]

That dog brought back memories of a kid riding his pony right through a fresh pour . He learned a few words that day

Always informative! Great video series. I love your radiant floor videos. Have you ever switched a wood fire radiant floor into propane heated?

[@bondobuilt386]

Thanks John. Glad you like the videos. You should be able to run radiant on anything that will heat water. 👍👍

Looks good 👍

[@bradyusko6333]

Hey its your uncle! Why no insulation and tubing in the floor?

[@freddygutierrez3057]

looks good!!i know what's like to stay late finishing:-(((!! just a question, why didn't u opened it first with the pans and then troweling with the blades?

[@bondobuilt386]

I use float blades I do not have a float pan. maybe I should get one. probably be good to speed things up. 👍

[@bondobuilt386]

actually they are combo blades.

[@soderholmfarms4654]

Nice work! We are pouring ours next week. How do you get the trucks to deliver what you want? It always seems like there is a problem with timing or mix. I suppose the mark of a skilled concrete guy is being able to work amongst the problems and make it turn out nice.

[@BillB23]

It's a crying shame that the boss can't get time and a half for overtime. The upside is that if you want to cuss out the boss you can do it while shaving, lol.

[@tomscott4723]

I felt sorry for a guy when I drove by at midnight and he was still working a floor for a commercial building at 40 degrees and falling, bad day!

[@bondobuilt386]

Ya Tom that sucks. Been there done that. Lol

[@RDJim]

That's some funny stuff. Would it ever get to the point that you'd have to scrap a partial floor when the second truck is really late? or is there always a way to blend new with old?

[@mthiessen134]

Nice job. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it.

Great content as always. What type of trowel blades do you use? Do you ever use the pan discs on the machine? Interested to know the fibres you use. Midnight was my latest finish.

[@leinadalan]

About to do a 45 x 45 x 6" pour and I have 2 dogs. They will be in the house!! I've done concrete before, when I was younger, never finished, mainly puddling and screeting. I guess some but this is a big undertaking for me. Making a shoot like you did. Prob putting retarder in it as idk how long it takes me to finish it. Have 6 ppl to help get it out of the trucks and down. Have a power screet and trowel. Be about 35 yards. Yes, I'm nervous!! But hey, I can do it! Thanks for the vids, tips and advice!!

[@leinadalan]

Frost protection shallow foundation, know anything about it? So, pole barn is 90x45, I'm splitting it up for a shop in 1 side. How or what's needed for foam protection where slab edge is inside building? I'm going 24" vertically on the 3 walls, but not sure what's required for inside area. Shop is heated, other side of wall is cold storage. Still go 24" vertical? Am laying 2" r10 on entire floor I think. Been kicking the idea of just 8' perimeter.. #4 bar 24 on center. 12" x12" trough around perimeter. 6mm poly. Any tips? Oh, in mn west of cities.

[@iowamatt2519]

7 sack 2% and hot is what we like to pour floors that are covered.

[@jh-lp7cg]

I guess I'm one of these guys... I'm not a concrete installer but I am wondering, how do you know where that metal is when you pull it up? I think the "book" says somewhere around 2" below the surface. Do you find that doesn't matter? Maybe it doesn't matter so much when it's a 4" slab? Ohh Shar Pei. Great dogs. Had many.

[@georgelichak3972]

I live in Seneca county and it’s $230 a yard right now. Any cheaper up there?

[@samhotstick13.28]

Does fiber make a big difference in the concrete from cracking?

[@bondobuilt386]

I find that regular fiber helps but the micro fiber does not do much IMO.

[@cheshstyles]

I would have just buggied the back. Did u put more accelerant in the second truck ?

No the driver added more water than I wanted in the second truck.

We poured a floor last fall. It was 45 yards. First 30 yards had 1% NCA. The last 15 they forgot to add it. They called me as the tag was leaving. They were nice enough not to charge me for the nca they didn't put it though

Why not just put accelerant in the 2nd truck.....
