Follow up video will be posted showing you how we fixed everything....To all the keyboard warriors....keep watching

[@jonport_]

Lol. Sounds good 😂👊🏻

[@thefarmer828]

Normal puddles?bahahaha hang your tools up clown.

[@dillonmennie8694]

Do you do all your jobs fixed price?

[@GrowingOrganicTvShow]

put control joints so it doesn't crack and puddles means bad finish work. Slope the concrete

[@Lunker75]

Not a good job. Normal Puddles? No way the concrete is not sloped on the path. The counter same thing. Need to be on site more

[@Hable_3]

Yeah the concrete holding water isn’t normal man. You need to pitch it away from the house. Always

[@jonport_]

Your concrete should not be holding water like that.

[@TigranGertz]

That will also be fixed

[@jonport_]

@@TigranGertz sorry you have to redo all that. Im builder in the Midwest and if there’s anything you need let me know

[@tnine3]

Those puddles aren’t normal if it just rained 😂

[@MP-to4jo]

As far as the paver, my guess would be that your guys are using string lines to figure out slope and pitch for drainage. We used to do th same, intell we noticed how easy it is to having slake or evening touch the sake and the rope is off. Creating a ditch or low spot in the middle. I would highly recommend to use a construction rotary level for the grading. Saves time and money!

[@jamesbarlow6243]

Tragic execution of a decent design. All those puddles will cause problems for the homeowners over time. Water sloped towards the house. Water rings on counters and TV benches. Whomever did the flat work needs to be fired.

[@thirdiview1230]

They come in and lay their pipe. 🤣 every plumber loves that line 😭

[@CerretaniOutdoorsLLC]

T 1/4 inch every foot for pitch!! I know it’s hard in California everything very flat but you absolutely need pitch.. I’m from Boston and snow pooling on the concrete is a big No go!!! And for the countertops need some wire mesh and a lower PSI for less shrinkage cracks

[@jessyl12987]

I like going 1/8 per ft on areas they are planning to have exterior furniture, Tables. Still has Water run off at that. Not hard with a percentage level. Huntington beach ca

[@CerretaniOutdoorsLLC]

@@jessyl12987 agreed sometimes I’ll just do the horizontal pitch @ an 1/8th instead of vertically 1/4th off the house Because up here water sitting against the foundation is a death sentence Up here we have basement and frost walls and such so the water needs to get away 😂

[@GarrettWilliams2017]

Even small puddles on new concrete isn’t normal. That’s a lack of attention to detail.

[@DavidGarcia-hx5hq]

I’m watching your video now where you went to Maryland. If you can go there you can come to Virginia. Love the business advice you give. It applies to more then just your type of business. Been binge watching for few hours now.

[@TigranGertz]

Have a lot of guys in GG from the east coast...every year we make a trip out there in august

[@G815-f6f]

Good video , the workmans ship isn't there on that job

[@roughcountryoutdoors]

Quick tip on cracks in concrete corners, before pour place 2 #3 bars 2” apart from corner and from one another. Instead of huge crack it will leave a hairline crack. Always

[@terencemerritt]

It happens to us all. Suck it up and move on and make up for it on the next one is all we can do 🤷‍♂️

[@LuisCruz-oh1ny]

It happens buddy keep fixing and keep moving up

[@TurfZone]

I learned sharing my losses from you man. Keep it up

[@TheAcenightcreeper]

I think people like the mistake videos so much because they dont want to duplicate it, i dont learn from watching a job go right

[@TT-ik3kd]

Wow this entire job looks so bad and you basically need to redo the entire job

[@DavesFramingCo]

Yup, I guess it looks good from far

[@DerrickConti]

@@DavesFramingCo good from far, far from good. Much respect if he fixes all that though. You live and you learn.

base was not compacted enough and not deep enough base gravel. Hacks you have working for you. Unexceptablee!

[@sandyovals]

i doubt it, if you watch his channel, he over kills the heck out of road base and compaction.

[@realpatiosoutdoor8466]

thank god that doesn't happen to me after doing paver patios for 20 years in iowa where the ground freezes every winter..

[@siliconvalleylife2.048]

Inferior workmanship

[@simbiods3]

8:14 i dont understand why it not drains? i rewinded video and there is gravel undergraund, so it needs to be drained. Or maybe some polimeric sands is guilty, whitch works like a glue and not drains?

[@Jvniorshvssle]

Love the stuff T! You should start podcasting & with landscapers all over the world 💨💨

[@jeranueldelgado3053]

Concrete is horrible 👎🏻👎🏻

[@ColeHerringshawExmark21in]

You should look into getting some grabbles for your skids so the guys don’t have to move tree debris by hand. Keep up the good work though man !!

[@p_enta5012]

Your voice sounds like the Daily Dose of Internet guy! I like it.

[@GrowingOrganicTvShow]

You got ripped off badly. Materials for a gas line would be only about $500. Get rid of your plumber, most are scam artists and way overcharge to see if you will fall for it. Just train your guys to do it yourself. It is really easy once you do it once

[@Daltonator87]

Doing a gas line that length without a plumber is a horrible idea. Any small error is a huge liability. However, I agree 10K is pretty high. I build houses in the same area as Tigran and would expect an 80LF gas line under a house to cost at least 4-5K without trenching/backfill

[@Jack-1212]

500.00 for materials ? Your clueless

[@donotrobme9295]

@@Daltonator87 please don’t use tigran

[@jackhinkle1401]

Your design helps you itemize out all your stuff that you’re using to how many pallets of paver how many different styles of plants the quantities prices easier to take things away and change it

[@mannyguevara7436]

Fire place would have looked awesome with porcelain in the front but overall the job looks amazing you guys always do super nice work

[@angelr6890]

It took me about a year to learn that in order to avoid water standing when laying pavers, pouring concrete it’s to always have 1/2 of inch slop minimum. People will tell you water runs easily not true, also don’t trust strings levels always triple check those before laying a patio.

[@myerstreefarm7384]

stick to pavers, all your concrete is holding water.

[@reynosokst9148]

TELL JOSE QUE PASO WEY!!!! JAJA HE KNOWS ME...LOTS OF MISTAKES BUT OWNER WILL BE HAPPY THAT YOU FIXING IT...

Improper base under patio to handle all that rain

[@realpatiosoutdoor8466]

it sink a few days after was done?

[@AarontheGreat89]

Did you use fabric underneath the pavers?

[@alfredotrujillo7487]

TigranGertz how can I become a member of your Chanel I want to help

[@RickTVification]

I wouldn't say that an idiot learns from his own mistakes. An idiot doesn't learn. A wise person learns from other peoples mistakes. But if you're taking risks and doing things that no one else had the balls or ambition to do, then you can only learn from your mistakes, and that will make you just a wise in the end.

[@igmz124]

I'm sure his concrete guys know you need control joints off each corner , that crack 100% could of been avoided. Well not 100% because it concrete lol . Least a saw cut the next day. You give alot of advice we listen my advice to you is don't allow work thst tjsy from your guys , it's not ok to leave those nasty puddles in concrete. If they are not experienced have them keep a level on hand easy as that .

[@thewhiteknight02]

Wow. Real quality when the owner doesn’t touch anything. Way to own it. 🇲🇽

[@jameskim2007]

Bro how did they run a gas line from under a concrete slabbed home? I don’t see crawlspace vents. They would have to run it from the gas meter, would’ve solved BTU deduction from the meter.

[@siliconvalleylife2.048]

Trench under the house. There are companies that can trench under concrete. Under the house, under the driveway etc.

[@jameskim2007]

@@siliconvalleylife2.048 you’re going to trench under the home to splice into 50 year old rotten galvanized gas pipe and cut into the existing BTU count? Holy code violations. Start from the meter always! that way even if the existing gas pipe for the home can’t handle 15 PSI for your gas test you won’t be held responsible, as soon as these guys cut into the existing gas line and if the gas test fails, all fingers can be pointed at you for disturbing the pipe.

[@siliconvalleylife2.048]

@@jameskim2007 it's been done many many times. There's a company called Trench Free, all they do is trenching in situations that are difficult. I don't do that kind of work myself. I don't take on any jobs using natural gas, not worth the hassle and natural gas is being phased out in California anyway. Plumbers hook up the lined. Of course they have to be dedicated. I never said they weren't, all I said is it's possible to drill a line under the house.

[@jameskim2007]

@@siliconvalleylife2.048 bro I’m friends with those guys lol. You’re taking about shooting a missile which doesn’t work in this case. Digging a simple 18” deep trench from the meter would’ve been way easier.

[@siliconvalleylife2.048]

@@jameskim2007 perhaps. Gas mains are "24 inches here I think. Electric lines are "18 here. After the San Bruno gas fire I doubt that a building department would approve a gas line under a house, so I could be wrong.

Hey Great job T. You own up to your mistakes. It happens in this business! You are a good contractor that will use these mistakes as a way to prove your integrity and learn from. It's painful with these larger projects but that's why you get business. This video shows we all are human, owning up to it makes you rise above the rest.

Hey t, you wanna know what happen to the counter top

[@rufinoalonzo8260]

You need to screed it twice or even three times after you poured the concrete , and the pavers I see ur mistake,, You need to add sand underneath the pavers not just base rock, you have to get a rammer and a vibrating plate. It’s a must u pass the machines atleast 4 times all around
