THIS has NEVER Happened When Pouring Concrete! | It Went from Bad to Worse

[@dadcanufixit]

That driver was awesome, out of the cab and raking concrete, unheard of in these parts. Then takes notice of his load and corrects it. Good companies and employees need loyalty when re odering.

[@ronaldlee2376]

It is normal procedure in my area for driver to assist when necessary.

[@davidgetchell3633]

This driver isn't new to Al & Gina, he's delivered before at their homestead and helped them then.

[@JamesEmery]

A hefty tip for the driver is called for in this situation. $100 minimum, in my opinion.

[@WyattBates-r7j]

That's my father, Trevor. He's been working concrete since the late 80's and he's been with Carroll quite some time

We lost power Thursday night during the height of the hurricane, got power back Monday 09/30/24 at about <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="390">6:30</a> pm. We have no damage except big tree branches broken & on the ground, about a dump truck full it seems. The house about 45 feet north of us had a large tree fall on their house. Our little town is ok just a lor of damage. Our whole county lost power. We will rebuild.

Al and Gina, you both work so well together. It is precious to watch. I am truly in awe, because I know how physically demanding concrete work is. Even before my husband died he said "We are not doing this again" and we subbed out concrete. We did have really good friends who owned a concrete business, as long as we were not in a time rush, they would come do our stuff when the crews would have been idle. At a very reasonable rate. There is so much value in community.

I drive a mixer in central PA, too much is ALWAYS better than not enough. If you don't have someplace for the extra we can take it back, it's not like you're forced to take it if you have nowhere to use it. To bring you another small amount you will pay an $80 small load charge along with what you need.

Al did you allow for the extra deep edge of your slab. That would explain why you ran 1/2 to 3/4 yard short.

[@81carrerasc]

Yeah was thinking the same ......

[@JeRKII]

Exactly what I was thinking. Also want to shout out the driver most parts they won't get out and they just charge you extra for having to sit there and wait.

[@rupe53]

@@JeRKII seems to me that every pour for Lumnah and Ken's Garges, the driver has gone the extra mile. On time, courteous, and helpful.

[@bruceadler-9410]

He either didn't allow enough extra for the thicker edge beams or he assumed that the interior would be EXACTLY 4-inches thick. A 4-inch slab and 8-inch deep by 1-foot wide border beam comes out to exactly 8 cubic yards -- not the 7.5 yards Al calculated. Exactly 8 cubic yards was never going to be enough. He should have mentioned his final slab dimensions and concrete order in a video a couple of days ago and one of his viewers would have caught the mistake. An 8 yard order would only have worked if the forms and grade were all exactly perfect (i.e., a 4-inch thick slab with an edge beam that's exactly 12-inches wide by 8-inches thick). There's always slight variations and you're always a little too thick here and there (because you never want the slab to be too thin). For example, if the slab is slightly too thick and averages to 4.5-inches rather than 4.0-inches, that's his missing half a yard. Similarly if the border beam was supposed to be exactly 8-inches deep but he formed it with 2x10 form boards and forgot to put 2-inches of stone inside the form boards, that's also an extra half a yard. And he definitely didn't allow for the fact that the edge beam isn't exactly 12-inches by 8-inches. The stone at the edge tapers from 4-inches deep down to 8-inches deep at the edges. That taper easily adds an extra quarter yard over what it would take for a perfectly rectangular 12-inch by 8-inch edge beam. Regardless, he should have ordered at least 10% extra, not just an extra half a yard. And rather than making up forms for whatever leftover he ends up with, he could have just mounding up the extra on some scrap poly sheeting, and then once it begins to set up, trowel it into the shape of random pavers.

[@rupe53]

@@bruceadler-9410 you bring up some valid points. I also wondered the same and my best guess is that perimeter is not 12 inches because his bucket on the machine is closer to 16 inches. There are also voids in the gravel, despite it being compacted. Right there is another half yard.

Needed just one more person, but hey you made it work. Always sucks to come up short though I always add a yard to my order, but again you made it work.

[@LilYeshua]

Yeah,the grade being off(too deep)will eat up concrete. Ideally you want a quarter inch of cream on top. As long as you don't end up with a bird bath from having a low spot in the slab. We've always checked our concrete load for consistency and that it looked like it's supposed to look for that mix before we left the concrete plant to avoid what having to take it back to the plant. That would be counted as a rejected load and went against us. On concrete batching small finish up loads the scales will usually overweigh on one material. Also,if you have to wait a little while for a finish up load chop back into section the concrete where the new concrete will lay against to try and mesh the two sections properly otherwise you'll have a cold joint.
