What a great opportunity for your employees. Great idea.

[@anthonywinters2869]

It’s nice that the boss for the day allowed you to video on his time. Great job as usual. Thanks

[@Concretewiththehauses]

You bet

[@jacklachman5304]

Now that’s funny 😆

[@78jog89]

For someone who is not the boss... . But must comment on the consistent quality and attention to detail you always demand. That kind of professionalism is perhaps the best lesson to pass on to the emerging foremen.

[@toddpacheco4748]

Tom that takes a lot of courage to let someone else be the boss of the job that means you have a lot of confidence in your employees that work for you not many other businesses do it 😮😊❤

[@mikegraziano1562]

You really have to show them all the "other expenses" that go into a quote, insurance, paying for all the equipment, up keep & maintenance plus repairs of the equipment, workman's comp., phones, advertising, taxes on the equipment, accountant fees etc etc...If you're going to train them you really need to show them the whole picture...This is why so many young guys fail at starting their own company, they only think about hourly wages and materials, there's SO much more than that as you know!

[@bryanlloyd1099]

Awesome job on the patio and that tunnel was cool to see!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Z-Bart]

On the job leadership training. Brilliant.

[@DFord-rv3nz]

It's a wonderful experience learning the nuances to the job. I remember my old concrete boss was having me do measurements and layout. I'll tell you how long ago it was full deapth saw cutting was $3.50 a foot

[@kingkong7617]

That being boss for a day was a good idea and the crew you have is like a well oiled machine, working together and getting the job done right the first time and as always looks great.

[@JamesKing-jw6hs]

Nice supporting role. That's how the boss should be

[@ronallen6578]

Good morning employee Tom, Project turned out nice as usual, what else would we expect from your "former" employees 😊😊. You were still in charge if nothing else out of respect and the fact it's YOUR signature on the paychecks 😊. Never doubt the power of the pen.😅😅😅. How much temperature change was in that tunnel ? I was around the caves in Marengo, IN on a log buying trip and afterwards I noticed a guard shack. I drove up and spoke to the guard. He told me a major tire company was storing tires inside--TIRES!!! I asked if it was possible to drive in and to my surprise he said sure. I drove in until I could see they were actually building block walls to divide the space into rooms and I mean BIG ROOMS. Had to be 50 to 75 ft high and huge. Went back in a little further and turned my headlights off like on your video. I never knew dark could be so dark. I literally could NOT see my hand 6 inches in front of my face. It was that DARK. When I came out the guard only asked to see in my cab and back of truck to verify I hadn't taken any tires---they actually had folks try to get a couple at times. How would they ever miss them? He told me they stored well over a 1,000,000 tires at any time and had racing tires worth over $1500 a piece. I wanted 4😊😊😊.

[@flowerstone]

That’s one aspect of every company that sometimes gets forgotten. Growing up the crews for the future. It’s good to see you are thinking ahead. 😊 And, I would like to see some of the problems you run into and how you resolve them. 🤔 Would make for some good content. 😁

[@richardpedersen9189]

Tom - agreed, that is a great learning/training situation/opportunity, and you are to be commended. BUT .... we all know Donna is the real BOSS!!!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

So true

[@jamiewawrzonek7419]

Awesome video and the bike ride. What ever you do don’t fall !!

[@carlustownsend7588]

Looking great as usual Tom and crew. Wonderful work.

[@jacklachman5304]

Good morning everyone. Tom you’re a good man & Smaaaaaht too.

[@lukevandermark71]

[@williamfenner9915]

I am quite sure that you are there to help out if big troubles arise. I think that you have a wonderful style of doing things. Like you said that gets the next generation a good thing to keep the quality of your work together. You can sit back, and have a cup 🥤 of coffee ☕️.

[@ronwhite36]

Tom, sounds like you are not just a father but, also a mentor!

[@mikebarushok5361]

With some volunteers that hadn't done concrete we just poured a 23 foot by 14 foot slab. About the simplest possible job. One side against a building and one against an existing slab. 4 inches thick. All we had to dig out was about a two inch layer of mostly crumbled asphalt and a couple of inches of dirt. It definitely took about 5 or 6 times the person hours a professional crew would have taken to do the prep. It came out OK for inexperienced volunteers and will be a fully functional added ADA parking space for a nonprofit that has to watch every penny. And, most importantly nobody was injured and we lucked out and got a very nice concrete truck driver who barely let on that he could tell most of us didn't know what we were doing.

[@BetsyCRobison-sv5ml]

Nice job! It reminds me of the Blue Ridge Parkway here in Roanoke, VA.

[@michaelc.3812]

I’m just 90 seconds into the episode as I type this, and I had to jump in and offer kudos to you Thomas! This is a great gift you are giving your guys, family or not. I love it, and hope you keep up the support of your “boss for a day” program!

[@fredcory2686]

Well oiled machine. As always looks great.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks 👍

[@lyleharkness-rv5vf]

Great video 👍 I love the idea of letting your employees take the lead on projects they bring in. Gives them perspective, builds their knowledge and experience, gives them responsibility and a sense of accomplishment. Good bosses lead, great bosses encourage employees to lead.

[@welderman1221]

YOU are a good man, Tom!!!! Teaching and encouraging your crew.

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

When we do the podcast I wana talk about this! Such a cool thing! Matter of fact I would so rather share this than u flipping a mini x

[@joshuaweiler4566]

I enjoyed this video tom

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks

[@frijoli9579]

What a great opportunity for your employees! That looks like Rockland tunnel!

[@arthurhouston3]

Victory use same stamps today. Great minds think alike

[@DanKlein_1]

I was going to guess the bike trails by Franklin Pa but that was a bit vague. We road up there before but not on that section. Now that would be a great place for an E bike because there is just too much trail to be able to cover what you would like in a day on a normal bicycle.

[@ALL4SURE]

Allegheny River trail

[@robertmyers461]

My guess is up by east brady I couldn't read read that sign behind you but that looked like the old bike tails up there beside Allegheny River you was on the opposite side of the river from east brady possibly near Red Bank

[@robertmyers461]

Well actually I meant old rail road bed and tunnels up there that is now bike trails

[@scottywilson1647]

Rockland tunnel alegheny river trail

[@jtbiberdorf]

Just waiting for someone to say “ put that camera down and get busy”. 😅

[@saltygator]

Phenomenal Leadership!

[@joshuaweiler4566]

I don't know where you are but I would love a shirt. I'm a huge fan of your videos

[@Concretewiththehauses]

It would be fun to be able to get everybody a shirt every two weeks. I do a T-shirt giveaway thank you very much.

[@michaelney1412]

Excellent

[@welderman1221]

AWESOME SAUCE!! As always. Love watching good craftsmanship.

[@jeffhennings6579]

Another great job and pretty damn cool the opportunity u give your guys very nice bud

[@jeffhennings6579]

That tunnel was pretty cool

[@lagunafishing]

The Great Allegheny Passage? a 150-mile (240 km) rail trail between Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Cumberland, Maryland. Together with the C&O Canal towpath, the GAP is part of a 335 mi (539 km) route between Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C., that is popular with through hikers and cyclists. I'm only guessing... I live in England lol

[@ronaldferino3414]

looks like you were at the abandoned portion of the Pa. turnpike near Bedford Pa.

[@jimharris1590]

Gatlinburg, TN

[@robwatts7863]

Kennerdell Tunnel?

[@tim_gifford]

Maybe the montour trail

[@frankbever3460]

Montour Trail. Near Imperial??

[@DFord-rv3nz]

It healps future contractors know their worth

[@jimg2885]

Great idea letting the guys take care of the job and learn. I would expect your boys take over the business when you retire. Glad you didn't get fired since you were not the boss.😃Just to ask does no one use wood hand floats anymore? Seems like I see the mag floats now days. Another good looking job..

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Not that I know of thanks

[@abrahamlutz9471]

Is it the great savage tunnel?

[@seancasey2444]

How come nobody is wearing company shirts.

[@williambeasley8914]

You should have let the boss do the video because I didn’t see anyone making the call. You did the narrative just like you normally do. Would had loved to see you doing the work and the boss doing all the talking and filming. But overall still nice video.

[@mikeforesta7319]

Kennnerdell tunnel Franklin

[@JamesKing-jw6hs]

Where do you guys get your rollers for stamping? I wanna do wood plank floor, but stamps are out of my budget

[@mikebarushok5361]

You might be able to rent stamps. It's not cheap, but nowhere near what it costs to buy them.

[@DFord-rv3nz]

Sideling Hill Tunnel?

[@rodneyrote6261]

I think tool cut looks much better than saw cut

[@Mega_Casual]

Kennerdale Tunnel

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Congratulations you guessed the exact tunnel. I will give you a T-shirt as well. Email Donna in the office and work out the details.

[@DanDeVoto]

Rockland wood hill tunnel

[@jerrythompson7744]

is it easy to under price a job ? Enjoy watching your videos

[@outdooradventureswithbrayt3665]

Ya know. For not being the boss. You were doing a lot of bossing. lol lol lol

[@ALL4SURE]

GREAT ALLEGHENY PASSAGE

[@shawnmartisko4698]

[@Concretewiththehauses]

It didn't look alot different, but you were there. Question is, did it meet Tom Hause standards. Im sure you made sure it did.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thank you, yes

[@DFord-rv3nz]

Oh I forgot happy biological mother's mother's Day

[@jaimelago8941]

Your are a employee with a lot power I don't here the bus saids nothing about the job 🙈

[@biggun1450]

i have been trying to figure out why you have not split your boys up and form 2 crews and you just go around bidding jobs for them to keep you semi in the game. Boys may not see it your way initially, but once they have a disgruntled client and it has to come out of there pocket they will see why you harp on certain aspects . from what i hear Tommy boy your reputation is damn good in your area.

[@joshuahughes9860]

great idea
