This should be the most subscribed concrete channel ever!

Great video, Tom. Most of us could only dream about living in a house this large with that much concrete. It's nice to be able to show us all the details and walk around fully. Take your time showing the project and the extents of it and how much is involved. That's very interesting to viewers.

You can have anything you set your mind to buddy....young old dosent matter

Love these videos Tom, coming from a concrete background, my Dad worked as Concrete Manager for 50 years @ a Redi-Mix Concrete company here in SE Texas. I worked for the same Company 3 Times, and was a concrete Contractor for about 10 years, small stuff. I am 70 now, haven't done concrete work for 40 years. I moved to HVAC, and Electrical Journeyman. You guys have some techniques i have never seen, new products as well. I can honestly say, and i am going to say top 2 just in case i forget someone, that your in the top 2 of probably 50 + Contractors i have seen in the Concrete business. Great work, good work ethics, new stuff, great crew and very talented. The old saying hits this well " A Ship is only as good as it's Captain" thanks Captain Tom :) So glad Mike Morgan, "Outdoors With The Morgens " led us to your channel. Keep up the A+ work Tome, and thanks. Loved the at School Day with the grand son . :)

[@ronallen6578]

I'm pretty sure Tom enjoyed that more than the kids😊. I know 1 thing, he was a hero to his grandson by just being himself.

[@joesixpack8305]

I enjoy watching the boys work. They pick a productive pace so as not to burn out, they don't waste movement, they look like they know what they're doing, no one panics. Real pros. Gotta be impressed with Jim. Not a young man but in great shape. Tom needs to do some quick interviews with the boys so we get to know what's in their heads a little bit. I know, they're probably camera shy. Nice project!

A lot of Crete for a short week. How do you eat a bag of nuts? One nut……..

[@maryannd2975]

How to eat an elephant, one bite at a time. Once again you and your crew blew the project out of the water!! What an amazing team you have and I hope you tell them your fan in Kentucky says so. Another incredible job.

Miller Light? You don’t like to drink. You just like to pee.😂

[@keithburch5506]

Tom, this was a perfect video. Very interesting and tons of details. Surrounded by concrete! The maple leaves had my brain a going too! But then it was obvious. I think one of the most impressive things that really showcases TSH, is when you are explaining techniques, you turn and point and say, like this, we poured 10 years ago!! Man, yes! What a beautiful mansion, a governors drive. Wow. I bet when all landscaping is completed, it really will be a sight to behold. All that mansion needs is a tennis court and an olympic swimming pool. This video is one of your best, I loved every second. Thanks.👍❤️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thank you have a great weekend

[@timl3605]

Another great job by all of you. Takes a team to pour that much concrete without a hitch. A lot of everything on this one. Your all professionals in many ways!!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks 👍

[@jojpjo8702]

Trust me nothing boreing about watching the hauses do quality work ...enjoy it keep doing what your doing .....thankyou .

[@Concretewiththehauses]

I appreciate that

[@Jesse-ve5oo]

Thank you for explaining the sealer process. I've seen other channels wash off their powder release but seal right over liquid release without washing first. Thank you for the knowledge!

[@ronallen6578]

Good morning sir, You know regardless of how many videos you post and we watch it never gets old. You and your crew just take it 1 step at a time and voilà,it's done and looks great. Honestly that color does look good EVERYTIME!! I am sorry to see you have to work on these "shacks" all the time. Must be difficult 🤣🤣. I've noticed that so many of these gorgeous homes seem to be built on some of the most unlevel lots. We run across the same thing at times doing aerations. Makes you wonder at times🤔🤔. I thought the best part was you measuring for your cuts on the serpentine front walk. Looked exceptionally accurate with the ole' give and take method. Thought that was gone. Nice to see it still exists 😅. Great video as always. Hope everyone gets to feeling better. Until the next "elephant". Ron

[@darcywalls6206]

Beautiful looking job Tom👍. You didn’t mention if the customer took your advice about making the governor’s pad wider or not. We had a rolled slate look driveway poured a few years ago. I had spray painted a layout that my wife and I had come up with, and when the owner of the company came out he took a can of spray paint out of his truck and made a bunch of changes real quick and asked us if we liked what he was thinking. We were blown away with how much nicer looking it was with his vision and had him do that way. So much nicer looking than anything we were thinking for sure and never regretted taking his advice

[@clarenceburton9654]

You never miss to impress me with your articulate work , always on point , excellent job !! 😎👍

[@tylerbarrett6652]

This upload seemed to flow a lot better... I really like the use of your time lapses... and this was a HUGE project. It was great to see it all come together in the different stages, or "bites" as you put it. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@dennisbeamish9058]

Hi Tom. (Learned of your channel from Mike Morgan). Just love your finished projects - all so beautifully done. The thought going in to the cut lines makes your projects look perfect (and so practical). It looks like you have a great crew - everyone knows their job and work as a team. However what impresses me the most is that it is so nice to see you as the owner actually work on the tools - that is rare and it appears that you have instilled the same work ethic in your son! Congrats on everything you do. Many business owners can learn a lot from you. Regards Dennis Beamish Cambridge Ontario Canada.

Beautiful job, Tom and Crew !!!!! I like the stone face on the porch and steps . I like the way you did the front sidewalk. Glade you talk the homeowners to widen the Governor drive..like the joint cuts you did. Have a wonderful 4th of July, and be safe. Tom and crew. Billy from Alabama

Awesome job, as always. Amazes me, how you can keep the concrete level and the pitch correct. Did they let you make the governor drive wider, then the 11 feet?

[@Concretewiththehauses]

No

[@gregwitkamp5583]

Tom I see you are using a handle now on your grover , how are you liking it. I also use a grover on a bull float it worked very well and easy to control. Cant use it every where but comes in handy many times. Just another tool in your tool box. Nice job Guys

[@Concretewiththehauses]

We just use that on the finish I still cut the first initial by hand

[@michaelmullins1290]

It always looks great. What was the yardage total and square footage of you can say. I lost count along the way.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

I believe we were at 130 yards plus or minus

Until I started watching your channel I had not heard of a semi-circular driveway referred to a Governor’s Driveway before. Never too old to learn something new! Looks like the owner wanted to keep it at eleven feet wide.

You know Tom, even if the "y" didn't serve a purpose, think I'd put them in anyway. They look awesome. And as always another great job!!

[@ericmichalski5791]

Nice work steps look good. You can put the sealer on only a few days after the pour or did you wait a week or two for it to complete cure??

Great Work Mr. hause! What are those steps set at ? 14in treads? And 11 1/4 in risers ?

[@JohnWilson-ql8ks]

@ Tom, quick question I had a driveway pored about 1 yr. ago and it was never sealed. Wish I could have had you come to Tx. and do mine LOL. Is it possible to power wash it and seal it now.? Thank you in advance.. And i hope that you and the family and workers have a safe and great 4th, And I am so glad that I saw you on the Morgans video.. From a transplanted York, Pa guy.

[@dereksellars]

Looks Great!! Just wondering, on the Governers driveway, you did a Y cut on part of it, but didn't put another one on the other side to match. Just wondering. Thanks for the videos.

[@chrisdaly3485]

I wonder about so much vertical drop and the runoff around the house. It looks like the water will go down the driveway and cross the road into the neighbors yard. Always a great learning video

[@Concretewiththehauses]

There are curbs and stormwater catch basins on the road

[@AuditRecon]

You said perfect mix, so would that be a 2 or 3 inch slump? By the way that is some very nice work. I live in north GA & don't see that type of finish work with concrete.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

About a 5 inch slump

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thank you very much

THE WORK LOOKS GOOD YALL, I LIKE THE EXPOSED ROCK

[@JohnSmith-tv5ep]

TOM, finished watching this video and got a question bout the new sealer you're using. Can I reseal 2year old concrete that already was sealed with Diamond Clear VOX when it was poured using a different sealer? Thanks again for your expertise!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

That’s a tough one to answer. We were having problems with a customer. I tried doing that and the sealer bubbles. Try a smaller area. Wait a couple days and see thanks.

[@JohnSmith-tv5ep]

@@Concretewiththehauses thanks for replying Tom!

[@sarno85]

I love the way you guys do the rock face stairs. If my property was on a hill, I'd want my stairs to look like that. That's a lot of concrete on that project, and of course, even with 1 guy down, your crew is awesome.

This was my favorite job in 2019, I shot myself july 8th, 2019. I loved doing this job.

[@itas0r]

What thickness do you pour driveways? It looks like a 2x4 form, but if you're pouring more than 3.5", do you just hold it up and let concrete go under it?

[@CharlesJohnson-mq2tr]

Gonna be slick in the ice for sure.

[@paulborello9523]

excellent job as always.approximately how much does a job like that cost

[@davemats2725]

Tom, would like to know why at the end of the driveways, why do you leave it up an inch and a half ? I know most people pour them flush with the road. Thanks

[@Concretewiththehauses]

When the houses are done, they will be topping the road with about an inch of material

[@kevinhenry7273]

Got the porta potty serviced too. I'm sure you need that on a job that size, a lot of water and coffee.

Did the builder agree to the 12 ft. wide governors' driveway, or did he keep it at 11 ft.?

[@Concretewiththehauses]

No 11

[@madman432000]

So did they elect to widen the gov drive at your suggestion?

Nice job looking great 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@outfitr9703]

Huge pour. So how many guys on your crew, 7? Looks like all good finishers. Where I worked you couldn't put a skilled crew that size together, no way. Worked many years doing exactly what you're doing with just my brother and me. That would have taken us a month. I don't really get those y cuts you do either never seen them and nobody does anything like that here
