Colored Rolled Slate Concrete, Patio Demo, Prep, Pour

[@rodmcintire7319]

Great video Mike! Here's another job for you. Setting of up new you tube video, when you have anything else to do! Lol. One of the first things out of that gentlemen was be Ready!!! That is one of the biggest reason why there's are so good, they have it down to a science. Concrete is one product that doesn't wait on you! He is also very smart in having all of his own equipment. Not having to depend on someone else, like a concrete pampers truck breaking down and now your dead in the water and the concrete truck is there and the clock is running. I have delivered and finished concrete the biggest part of life and I'm still Ow of how so many things change from state to state and come up with the same finished product in the end. Great job everyone!!!

[@LaddGardner4]

Hardest, most stressful job on Earth. In Atlanta, building inspectors watch to make sure compaction is done right, plastic down, chairs under wire, slump on concrete is correct, yadda-yadda: Meanwhile, it's 95 degrees and the heat -- even with a retarder added -- is blowing up your pour before you can get your pattern into the mix. You don't straighten up 'till you get home, so concrete workers are close friends with chiropractors. Tom is a pro, like Plumber Jim. It's a joy watching these guys work.

[@dcrahn]

Now that is how you run a business. You get in there, do the job and get out. Greater profit for the company and he in turn can pay a good wages to his employees. Thumbs up to Mr. Haus and his crew.

[@russellbowman8051]

The Concrete patio looked Awesome!! I Have To Step Aside And Hand It To Anyone Who Works In Concrete Business, It Is Just Flat Out HARD GROULING WORK!! Day After Day!! That Is One Profeshon That You Got To Get It Right The First Time No Second Chances To Get It Right Besides Rip It Out And Start Over!! 👍👊

Mike & Melissa, you both represent your community so well, helping your neighbor/friend to reach out in "modern ways" to an audience realize the skills and talents of others. Thank you for sharing with me.

[@jeffhartmann2469]

I also appreciate guys that can do that kind of work. They have a great aptitude for it AND they are not afraid to work…..hats off!

[@dmorgan28]

Mike that was awesome. You could tell they had it together and knew what they were doing. And like you said things have changed. I’ve done lots of concrete work when I was younger and hauled lots of concrete but a lot of it has changed for the better. I was really impressed. 👍👍👍❤️

[@gungadinn]

Those guys made that job look easy. From demolition, to site prep, to pour and finally finishing, before most people have lunch. All of the tracked wheel borrows I've seen don't have buckets that rotate, nice addition. On the demo work of the existing patio, the company that did that work also did great work. When you have a difficult time busting their work, they did a good job. Poor truck getting that slab dropped into the bed. My best friend has been in the trades for 35 years, mostly tilt wall construction for the past 10 years, but prior to that paving, roads, gutters and airport runways. When I need help on a project, I get his opinion and usually his assistance during the pour. It's nice to have friends that know their trade.

[@deerrudy]

It's all about having the right tools for the right job they definitely have it.

[@marcuswhite3628]

Right? I was impressed with the track buckets & all the care they used to minimize collateral damage to the lawn etc.

[@matthewsims359]

I noticed that as well. Having those big slabs to turn the machines on so to not damage any more of the lawn than necessary.

[@MichaelJones1527]

That Georgia bucket is a handy machine delivering the gravel and the concrete, it helps to get in the right places. Impressive that they put down the mattes to prevent damage to the lawn. Nice looking development that they were working in.

[@vittoesmith1]

I was in the concrete industry for 20 years, and from my past experiences those guys are good. You are right, it has come a long way. Working with concrete is a job that waits for no man or beast. Have done a small amount of finishing and driving a mixer, dump truck, and loader, most of time was as a concrete (material) dispatcher. Also loading the mixers and weighting trucks over the scales. Keep up the videos. Can't wait until his videos come out.

[@chadvorbeck]

Yes!

[@evilbrat5376]

Mike, is great you helping friend set up KZbin channel. One hand washes the other. Impressive they used mats to protect the lawn, alot don't and tear places up. Kudos to Tom for that. Don't know the proper name for those two small skid loaders, but sure did get into the small places with the concrete. Looking forward to seeing the whole video. again, great for you helping them out.

[@BillB23]

Nice work by that crew. You've hardly started your new job and you're helping aspiring KZbinrs. Neat!

[@munched55]

My wife started with a similar service to Hello Fresh here in Sweden. She loves it and we do too. Tons of stress off of her shoulders deciding on menus and shopping for ingredients and the menus for the week that she gets to pick from are really fun and tasty which says a lot coming from a meat and potatoes guy like me. When I poured the concrete floor for the 30mX30m outdoor bar for my hotel in Belize in the '80s, (II wanted to be able to just hose the floor down at the end of the night) we mixed blue dye in and the finished product looked like Caribbean water. Beautiful.

[@patrickhathaway6178]

Really enjoy watching craftsmen at work.

[@stewartmcardle8149]

Preparing, pouring and finishing concrete is sheer artistry and truly the work of artisans.

[@HillsideAcres]

Putting a good finish on concrete is like an art, those guys make it look it look easy, nice work!

[@allenhenry1113]

I used to work driving cement trks. It is hard work and you have to stay on top it or it can get away from you really quick!!! One missed step and you will be tearing out what you just poured and redoing it. You meet some of the coolest people to. Way to go Mike for helping them out. There is also a thing called stamped concrete that looks really good to.

[@mikemcguire8351]

Looked liked they were very well organized and hard workers. When I was in high school I worked for a concrete finishing company one summer, end of that summer I ruled out concrete finisher as a possible career for me. Very hard work. Thanks for sharing. 🇺🇸

[@stevehawkins8066]

Wow, those little dump machines are cool and can dump almost anywhere in any different. Thanks for making these videos. This one was very informative and entertaining, just like all of your videos.

[@mikeelwood8626]

Smart to go and take a look. Great you could give them a hand and practical advice.

[@uberuser1999]

I mentioned early I have had a number of careers - several overlapping - and I have to tell you my 20+ years doing concrete is in many ways some of the most rewarding work I have ever done. Too old now, and an entirely different career path, but I certainly enjoy seeing many of the commercial and residential work I’ve done over the years. And you are right, Mike, the technology has really changed - for the better. You can do some amazing g things with concrete these days!

[@weaverkevin5462]

I'm originally from PA I moved to Florida about 12yrs ago I can't get used to the work ethics. It's like you have all day long to do one job. That is the one thing I miss about the north . I could do several jobs in one day. Thanks for the video. PS I forgotten to say do it correctly cause you don't see that down here.

[@robertdean9392]

Powered wheel narrows, or mules as as we call them sure make concrete work alot easier. We have 8 that we use. The hold about 3 wheel barrows and sure speed things up. On long jobs, curb to slab with limited access, we use a pump trailer.. Good looking job that he did and love the color

[@mackdenn]

The cement guys are amazing. I had a local company pour a patio for me a few years ago and I'm starting to see issues with it already. My guy didn't remove the old soil underneath the old patio and replace it with gravel. My guy didn't add re-rod over the layer of wire mesh. My guy didn't add an expansion strip up against my foundation and I'm see raising and flaking against the wall. I wish I could of used your friend to do my patio but I'm in MI. I wish notthing but success for your friends channel but with your help and guidance, it will do well. I know I'll subscribe and pass the word to others. Thanks Mike

[@olemiss2223]

Man those track wheelbarrows are handy as a pocket on a shirt.

[@hull99]

A good crew can make it seem so easy, but if you ever try to pour concrete you quickly learn how hard it is to do..... Just in that short video you can see master level skill in their work. Thanks for sharing the video!!!

Really nice of you to help out

[@Ryan_Maineaquaria]

It was definitely cool to se them rolling the texture onto the concrete.

[@andylucas6407]

Amazing the improvements they have made in that industry. Did concrete year ago when my dad had a company. Back then stamping concrete was done with pads that you moved around and stood on

[@revtmyers1]

Kudos to anyone who can survive and thrive doing concrete that long. I don't miss doing concrete and they did a really nice job. It's nice to have the equipment to make the job go smoothly as well.

[@jvt201]

It was amazing how they did concreting from scratch to stone, rebar, side plates, pouring in one day for patio 25by25!!!!

[@raylund2036]

Nice job I like the roller instead of the old way with the big sheets of rubber also I hope when he does a what I call a paving notch at the rollup doors its a reses aprox 1/2 in to 1 in deep so the door when closed sets below the finished floor so when ir rains no water comes back into the building

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

[@nancyincanada5553]

Wow that is absolutely beautiful. Fun to watch to process too. Thanks!

[@dylan8285]

That concrete texturing process is quite interesting, never knew how they actually do it. Most common thing I see if people do anything to the concrete is the stamped stuff, where it looks like bricks or pavers, stone slabs ,etc where its super fancy looking

[@russellbelliveau1694]

Pouring concrete is like an art

[@reno4819]

Nice to have a different kind of video thrown into the mix once in a while. Makes it very interesting. Maybe that could be something you add to your channel now that you have more time. I'd love to see how some jobs are done, learn about different processes for doing things, see how others use different tools, etc. Cheers!

[@keithburch5506]

Those guys are blessed to have you as their friend. I do see their problem with the camera work. Tripods and gopros mounted here and there, I guess. You'll help them figure it out. Great ideas w the looks of the concrete, cant wait to see yours! Great stuff!👍🚜❤

Looking forward to seeing the final product. Concrete is definitely an art, like they were saying it is one of the most weather dependent trades there are!

[@robertdendooven7258]

Just watching many KZbin videos about the Battle of Midway that occurred 79 years ago today. Then I saw this video pop up and I needed a break from all the history for something in the present. 😁 👍 There should be laws against having construction crews working in neighborhoods before 8 AM. I say this as someone who works a nightshift and is trying to get some sleep most days around this time.

We built a house 3 uears ago and have yet to do a back patio. We'll be getting quotes soon and cant wait for this long waited addition. Thanks for sharing.

[@keymasterken]

Usually the rebar has saddles placed under them. I didn't see any on this project. Rebar lying on the ground doesn't add anything to the tensile strength of the concrete. I trust you will have saddles under your concrete. Thanks for bring us along on your daily adventures.

[@dennissouba1432]

That is some mighty fine finish work!

[@jimkimler9460]

Flashbacks to when I was a laborer. That's some hard work but the out come is worth it

[@ScottyLo]

The concrete around our pool was done with a stamped concrete finish. There was a bunch of guys working it and the end result came out great. It’s pricey but well worth the money.

[@kwantao69]

Mike, their technology and all their equipment was impressive. should be interesting to see them do your concrete. look forward to that in a couple of days...

[@htpadventures3989]

Those guys know what they are doing. Melissa is correct after 30 plus years of construction work I can barley move now a days.

[@pattiray6816]

Thanks for sharing this Mike! We’re looking into getting basically all our concrete work replaced and this was very helpful to show me what to expect.

[@b.p.7794]

Good morning to you all. Pouring concrete. I was 12 years old when my father forced me to go along with him to pour a concrete floor. And I hated it but I still did it for 30 years. Melissa is right moving while holding your self up and getting into weird positions. I was once pouring a train bridge deck. I was bent over the railing with my feet dangling over the side. I went to move as a train was coming to go underneath and it just touched my boot. Talk about a pucker moment that was. . Anyway one can tell that these guy have good experience. It looks good from what we saw. Looking forward to when they do yours.

[@daveb5540]

Wow someone poured that right, very strong, to bad they had to destroy it. Never really noticed how useful that motorized dumper is...nice.

[@gregj2647]

Nice job on the concrete, time is money! Sure hope those deck posts are in good shape. Would hate to see a demo project to replace those in a few years

[@robertafazio3449]

Fascinating process. I remember ex-husband and a friend prepping for concrete pours and having concrete delivered to finish. Not enough hands and strong backs for a great finish, but worked surprisingly well anyway. Not a job for lightweights. Can't wait to see dried finishes. So, slate for the patio and wood finish inside???!
