Grandson did good job video

[@yabutz23]

Can't believe there are many contractors out there who pay attention to the smallest details like you do. Very impressed how you explain these things.

[@Shippusher]

Nice work as always. Really love how you incorporate your grandchildren. You’re amazing Tom. Have a day

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks! You too!

[@froter1]

Big shout out to the Thrower's drivers ..they're almost like a part of your crew ..I guess in effect , they are ..great guys! Great drivers! Love that your grandson took that wonderful video and even did some play by play narration! And as usual, always great to hear from Steve! Love y'all 👍💯

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Yes they are!

[@littlehuey5679]

You and Steve should have all your links in your side bars like the Etsy store and his channel and Steve should have yours on his . Another great job and video !

[@mrbill8542]

Those Thrower drivers must love coming to your job sites--always well organized !!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Tom, NC represented here. What a great blessing to have your grandchildren near. Good job!

Another great job. Good to see Austin getting involved. Stay cool and hydrated.

[@videopyc]

You make this look easy: this is a sign of mastery. Very entertaining.

[@alfredomarotta6604]

Great job Austin

[@richardmain8059]

Good morning Tom, another win for the Concrete Busy Beavers, Austin did a great job videoing for you, it’s wonderful that he has his own channel. Back in the day Kids were sweating bullets when it came to public speaking, nowadays they are shining on UTube. 😀👍👍👍

[@ScottH-kx1dm]

Thanks for the video from here on the coast in Washington state. Good stuff as always.

[@MichaelTrofa]

Philadelphia Mike here -. Tom, I really like how you go the extra mile and due to finish touches with the topsoil and mulch and how you put the side back around the patios and driveways. -- The gang here in Philadelphia think that you and your crew are all stars --

[@clevjam]

Great job guys !! I love how Jim has his name on his boots! 😎

[@casycasy5199]

nice job Austin.i think he might be ready to drive the buggies and start learning the job

[@MichaelTrofa]

Philadelphia Mike here. -- Hey Tom - I got to say you get some really nice jobs. - And I got to say you keep the jobs moving from one to the next -

[@JohnSmith-tv5ep]

TOM, with the heat and humidity lately, don't know how yinz guys are keeping the pace. But you are! Good stuff!

[@boborzech3367]

Nice work fellas!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

[@johnsandell4501]

So many outstanding jobs👍👍👍

[@marklevy3997]

Another GREAT looking job! You guys are rock stars!

[@DFord-rv3nz]

Dont know about you fellas but this heat has been murder. Cool rag on your kneck helps. Stay safe everyone.

[@kevinscott404]

There was a time when backup alarms were for backing only until operators and workers got them new phones and started recording everything.

[@jimkemp308]

Tom what works good is cutting the grass with your cutoff saw it makes for a nice clean cut..

[@ronallen6578]

Morning sir, Not sure which I really like best. Exposed or rolled slate with the slate Grey. Have you ever done an exposed rolled slate finish?? Is that even conceivable?? That would have to look pretty neat----yes or no. That drive looked really nice the way your guys put things back. Little water, a couple of mowings and waller, good as gold. Truly a 1st class job😁😁

[@Concretewiththehauses]

No texture is not deep enough

[@mikebarushok5361]

Around here the driveway approachs don't get the crack you describe because instead of a flat edge they always have a raised curb. The curved curb starts at the sidewalk allowance as zero height and joins into the street curb. There's also a pan of about a foot width in the street. Typical curb and gutter. Also all work from the street through the upper line of the sidewalk allowance is considered to be in the right of way and requires a permit, inspection just prior to pouring, and company/year stamps and can only be done with a license.

[@jeffhennings6579]

awesome crew u guys are awesome like always

[@tdlucas5126]

Original work by :'FLY BY NIGHT CONSTRUCTION'!!

[@Dozz70]

Nice Job Guys as always. Wish you could help me in Florida. Outstanding Channel!

[@jimkemp308]

Tom I always got one of the crew to stay behind for a few hours in cast someone marked the concrete.

[@johnseabrook1703]

All those chem trails forming in the sky.

[@johnnylindsey5808]

Good job guys and God Bless

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thank you very much

[@jakeschisler7525]

Nothing but rain every few days and the humidity is murder. So many places flooding but no worries where I live.

[@flowerstone]

“Sip of coffee” must be code for a liquid of some kind. Whatever fits the moment. 😁 Is there a reason you don’t drive the cement trucks up the driveway rather than use the buggy’s?

[@Frankbever]

Really impressed with Chris, he has blended in with the team well. I think he has dropped a few pounds too, work will do that.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

He’s coming along nicely

[@jakeschisler7525]

In Florida they don't have or use white rock in the concrete usually it's shells

[@ThatPainterGuyKy]

I couldn’t find his KZbin channel. If anyone has a link so I can go help him out let me know. Good work on the driveway looks mint.

[@SunChips24]

Would love to hear more explanation as to why you think certain concrete fails. It looks like on the driveway the area that failed did have the rebar pulled up into it. Was it improper compaction?

[@mikebarushok5361]

It's often hard to tell. Sometimes the clues are things like tree roots following where water got under the slab. Sometimes the slabs separate from each other where there's a cold joint or a joint with expansion material that deteriorated and once water gets underneath it undermines the sub base. Sometimes there was a trapped area with one or more downspouts surrounded by driveway, sidewalk and house and the roof runoff had to go somewhere.

[@scottrabinow2773]

@@mikebarushok5361 Could also be a few more... improper (or even no) soil compaction originally could have left the slab unsupported as the soil consolidated naturally, weak area in the soil subgrade (the "dirt" doesn't have perfectly uniform strength), poor quality base and/or preparation, in this case maybe even due to the rounded rather than crushed stone... Could be slightly thinner pour in spots, an unusually heavy load at some point in the past damaging the concrete and started it on the path of deterioration, freeze thaw cycles when it was fresh, etc...

[@mikebarushok5361]

​@@scottrabinow2773 Those are also possibilities. Some causes are difficult or impossible to see ten years later. Finding particular sand/gravel/stone under a failed slab might indicate water caused migration of sub grade or might be poorly done preparation. I've seen (intact!) sidewalk slabs where salt has completely deteriorated the bottom to a vee cross section and the aggregate that is in place looks just like excessive sand placed to form a valley down the center. Perfectly fine surface without visible cracks. Tore out and replaced because customer wanted sidewalk to match color of new steps.

[@ronnieferguson5706]

You need a mini roller to compact with

[@kingkong7617]

Tom, as always you go the extra mile to make sure the pour is right the first time and all of those jobs look really good and I hope the customers appreciate the extra effort you and your crew put into every job.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks 👍

[@lawrencepevitts2434]

With the dirty nature of your job, how do you manage to keep the interior of your excavator so clean? How's Elliot doing?

[@DFord-rv3nz]

First millions the hardest

[@flowerstone]

Do use a pressure washer to expose the aggregate? Looks real good.

[@daveklein2826]

You will see it in a later video

[@JamesDeese]

If I was ten years younger I would look you up and work free just for the experience.

[@peterhenderson3694]

Hey Tom I’ve been noticing the public streets in your area are in pretty rough shape. Are you sure you and Mike M are paying your fare share in taxes.😂

[@Concretewiththehauses]

I’m sure we are paying our fair share and then some

[@jamesragus1577]

Complimentary algorithm enhancement comment!😊

[@dennisryan7487]

Seatbelt???

[@pipedope329]

was this an old pour you did? driveways should be 6" thick with rebar and or heavy wire mesh throughout with 4500 psi concrete . unless you want to redo them every 5 -10 years. if you have been doing them like this your entire career go back and show a drive you did 10 years ago and prove me wrong

[@Concretewiththehauses]

The driveway was about three years old and no, I did not pour the original

[@mitchellviront1632]

Man I tell ya? I am always getting unsubscribe for your channel??? Am I doy something to cause this????? JS

[@Concretewiththehauses]

I hear that from a lot of people. thanks for staying with us

[@mikebarushok5361]

Random KZbin bug, it seems.
