I personally don’t like the hook. And I’ve never seen it be able to keep up with a guy with just lineman pliers. Keep in mind it takes me forever but I’ve seen some dudes that did that shit all day long and man oh man they where getting it in. It was impressive to watch how fast they tied. Literally like 2-3 seconds and they was moving to the next one. The whole time walking bar that was like 4 feet off the ground.

Besides the quality work, this is in my opinion the best type of ASMR there is. All the sounds are made naturally throughout the process, no tapping on random things and weird mouth noises, and most importantly no talking or awkward whispering! 👏👏

This is the bullshit we run into when trying to use residential subs that never have to answer to any safety standards, and try and use them on a commercial project with safety rules and osha enforcement. I've had them get pissed off and quit when told they can't wear shorts and tank tops. And not to mention the crying and wining when they have to wear hard hats and saftey vests. And fall protection doesn't even exist in their vocabulary.

[@tspc2186]

Couple of things. If you're gonna drive rebar in the ground you should spray epoxy paint on any metal coming into contact with the ground. Otherwise it will rust over time. Also, why didn't you pull your forms and rub & finish the step faces and sides? That being said, great job!

use a saws-all without a blade against the stair form risers to help with the voids and strip sooner so you can finish the face of the stairs.

[@mikeodonnell14]

Great Idea... never thought of that one. I'm pouring next week and will give it a try...

Fantastic work everyone involved.... I sometimes become at odds with those who sit in offices or other 'comfortable' lines of work with respect to the physical effort needed to be put in by many people to make a living, if this makes sense? And if they try and look down on any working man for one moment, I'll tell them straight to their faces that if it wasn't for the man who bends his back and gets his hands and clothes dirty doing his job, they'd be sitting under trees for shelter and be writing on bark with charcoal from a wood fire and still riding a horse about the place. Great work and great to see from someone whose done the same but mine was all in steel.

Estoy aprendiendo mucho con ustedes, gracias

[@darkcider135]

The steel you hammered into the ground will corrode first, water will rise through capillary action as there is no damp proffing done and it will spread throughout the other connected rebars. A layer of lean concrete mix (PCC) is important before rebar placement. Only then richer mix concrete should be poured over the reinforcement. Sidenote: I'm totally impressed with the kind of finishing you guys and the RMC people are going for.

[@BeeHiverson]

The house will fall down before the rebar fails. Rebar is not porous so capillary action isn't really a concern.

[@nonn4562]

@@BeeHiverson Capillary action (sometimes called capillarity, capillary motion, capillary rise, capillary effect, or wicking) is the process of a liquid flowing in a narrow space without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, any external forces like gravity. The effect can be seen in the drawing up of liquids between the hairs of a paint-brush, in a thin tube, in porous materials such as paper and plaster, in some non-porous materials such as sand and liquefied carbon fiber, or in a biological cell. It occurs because of intermolecular forces between the liquid and surrounding solid surfaces. If the diameter of the tube is sufficiently small, then the combination of surface tension (which is caused by cohesion within the liquid) and adhesive forces between the liquid and container wall act to propel the liquid.[citation needed]

[@nonn4562]

@@BeeHiverson the concrete around the steel is porous

[@Loonypapa]

@@BeeHiverson It's highly likely the driven rebar in the video will become a victim of macrocell corrosion, and corrode away to nothing in about 40 years. When you drive any sort of metal into two different strata of soil types (DGA base, then dirt), it turns the metal into a battery. This set of stairs would have lasted longer if they had simply installed a footing every six or seven steps. That's how it's done in commercial construction, where service life has to exceed 50 years.

[@BeeHiverson]

@@Loonypapa I imagine you would love to pay for that as well. Check back in 40 years and see how the steps held up.

What prevents erosion of soil foundation under and surrounding stairs? Will stairs collagse from that erosion?

[@robertblahnik]

Anyone ever hear of a pick maddox? One uses the pick to break the soil and or uses the mattox side to cut the risers. The shovel is only used to remove the broken excess soil. I increased the speed of my digs by a factor of 2 using all three tools.
