Modern or Detailed? Take Your Pick!

Hey guys, I don't know what the owner had before so I can't compare, but this pour looks very nice. Now, I never thought that straight broom or picture frame was age related, so I guess that's why I absolutely love the picture frame. I'm 69. I absolutely loved the talk with the owner on the usage of salt. I'm a firm believer that if something is bad - at any time - it should not be used. I remember Tom and Donna walking through a parking lot in town and Tom scuffing the face off the concrete because of the salt damage. No, I would suggest exactly the advice Tom gave, use cat litter or sand. Either can be broomed off and rinsed in warmer weather. Salt, no matter the age of the pour, is not good. Not good in any way. Don't use salt. Concrete will last a life time if taken care of. Today's pour put a whole better look to the owner's home. It will outlive them. Why tarnish it with salt? Why uglyfie it with salt? One wouldn't pressure wash their wood siding with corrosive acids. The same care should be taken with your concrete. It's a permanent fixture to your home. It not only adds beauty, but also adds safety. The pipes you lay at the base, before the pour is so thoughtful, and we could see the care you add by covering the pipe with stone before the pour. Kudos for that!! Always making sure the rebar is on chairs or pulled up into the pour, holes drilled into the house and securely tied together is another trait that makes the pour as strong as it can be. Kudos for that too. TSH just does everything right. No skipping quality for an extra dollar. I've seen that for years now. It's no wonder TSH is called to the pours on such expensive homes. The best for the best!! Another quality video today, thank y'all very much. I'm looking forward to the next post.👍❤🙏

Drilling holes into brick or block and sliding rods in will not prevent the slab from pulling away from the house ! The rods can just slide out of the holes unless they are epoxied in ! If not epoxied in the rod must be incased in concrete in order to hold securely ! I would suggest if going into brick break out a half a brick then slide the rod in and with block break out a big enough hole to surround the rod with concrete !

Keith once again thank you so much for the very kind comment. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@lyleharkness-rv5vf]

I hate making the same comment as often as I do, but great project 👍 I really like your content because of your attention to detail and craftsmanship. Always nice to see a master of his craft turn the mundane into something special.

[@JohnSmith-tv5ep]

TOM, and crew!..nice pour and finish once again. I like the landing at the top step and the walk! Nice call !

[@crabmansteve6844]

As a telecomm employee, thank you for not hitting the drop! If only road crews could be so careful. Instead what road crews do is locate NOTHING and then dig right down the middle of a fiber backbone. Our most recent one was feeding an interconnect so it brought down three counties. 😂

[@jasongentle6446]

Victory are good but you and your sons and crew do a nicer job Tom nice work 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@tnolan3176]

I think they are both on the same level as far as quality !

[@EMO22retired]

Your comment about why not easy when you fought that screw. If it was easy everyone would do it. Great work.

[@timl3605]

Nice job guys! You work together like a well oiled machine. I hate to admit it Tom but I never used to like the smooth edge over the broom finish, but you "converted me." Looks great!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks

[@МИРУ-МИР-д4й]

Hello Tom! We always enjoy watching your videos. I also make concrete robots and know all the difficulties. I want to wish you good health so that your legs and arms never hurt 👍

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thank you for the well wishes. I appreciate it.

[@kevinbreitkreutz3678]

Wow!! Your crew and yourself always does such beautiful work!!! Thank you for another great video.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks for watching!

[@JamesHawkeYouTube]

Precision like a military operation as always, Tom.

[@davidricketts6985]

Great skills Tom.. A lot of detail all going on at the same time.. Nice work.

[@jaybird4095]

Nice work! I'm about your age, and I have to agree with the kids. I like the straight broom look too. Have a great holiday season!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thank you very much you too

[@conniesamuelsen3078]

Beautiful!!! Looks to me like you’ve done this a time or two before 👏👏👏👏👏

[@stewartmcardle8149]

Love the music of soprano saxophone and harp.... reminds me of a Van Morrison album track outtake.

[@bryanlloyd1099]

Nice job on the porch and sidewalk!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thank you very much

[@bryanlloyd1099]

@Concretewiththehauses You are very welcome!

[@michaelmullins1290]

That looks way better than it did.

[@barryhoneycutt3894]

Nice job Tom :) I was thinking, if it were me, i think i would run Pex Pipe through out the drive way and steps, so i could run hot water. or a hot antifreeze solution with a pump, etc to keep the sidewalks, steps and drive from icing, or snow build up. BUT i live in SE Texas, and right on IH 10 LA Border near the swamps lol and we do not get a lot of icing or snow; but about every few years. Always enjoy the videos. Excellent editing as well. ❤💯🙏

[@johnsandell4501]

Great teamwork. Nice editing, too👍👍👍

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thank you! 👍

[@thomasw8400]

I agree, Tom I also prefer the picture frame look

[@jeffhennings6579]

More great work Tom and the gang good job 👍

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks 👍

[@tnolan3176]

I was taught that with steps what ever the rise is it should be the same distance from the bottom of the riser down to the ground ! So with a 7 1/4 inch rise under the form should be 7 1/4 inches to the ground ! Anything thinner will crack where the riser meets the trend !

[@Concretewiththehauses]

We usually pour about 5 inches under the riser seems to work pretty good

[@seanb5888]

Looks great!

[@joshuaweiler4566]

Awesome work fellas

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks!

[@BillyWickert]

Victory.. mention you.. about the rock form on the sides

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Nice

[@budcanter9747]

What did the plumber end up doing with that water spigot that was on the front porch? Nice pour!👍👍🇺🇸

[@Concretewiththehauses]

We cut it and kept it in the basement ,eliminated on the front porch

[@DFord-rv3nz]

Mr Haus I'm a modern guy. I'm perfecting my entry floating pads with lighting leading up to the house

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Nice

[@lawdtjr19]

Awesome work ! Front porch stoop Is a 7 1/4 riser stoop? And is the front porch used by 2 by 8s? Sorry trying to figure this out ! Young concrete finisher

[@Concretewiththehauses]

That was 2 x10 . poured separately the front walk

[@littlehuey5679]

Do you ever use accelerator in your mix especially in steps ?

[@FredD63]

OK Tom I don’t like you anymore. You just called me old in your video.🤣🤣 I agree picture frame looks so much better because you don’t see it at every home with concrete …. Great job Tom and Crew 🇺🇸👊🏼👊🏼✌🏼🪚🔨

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Sorry, Fred, we’re not older. We’re just more mature.

[@FredD63]

@ Good save Tom … I’m glad you didn’t say we are wiser 🤣🤣 Keep up the great work you have a great crew … not only are we mature. We also hire a great crew to work for us.🇺🇸👊🏼👊🏼✌🏼🪚🔨

When we lived in Florida and had some concrete work done, we paid the contractor the full amount. Several days later I get a letter from the concrete company stating that they weren't paid. They said they would put a lein on our property. So naturally I called the contractor and he said don't worry about it, that his wife will pay it. I guess she did and never heard any more about it. I had a pad poured in Illinois for a hottub and I paid the contractor and never heard anything from anyone. Years before that we had concrete put in a new building and that day we paid our contractor and later on in the year after he was done with the job, the guys doing the concrete calls me and says he wasn't paid and so I gave him the contractors phone number. I guess that was the end of that. Kinda weird how people do business

[@mattkasper9789]

Believe it or not there are so many fly by night contractors out there now. I recently had a back yard project which entailed retaining walls and concrete patio which turned out to be a disaster. The contractor damaged the house putting a hole in the bedroom wall, damaged the sliding glass door, splashed all the brick on the house, lost the load of concrete, which is broken up in my back yard. He has most of his money and I have a project that completely needs redone including the walls. Can’t go after him cause he has nothing. Lesson learned.

[@rossnolan2883]

😊😊😊😊

[@Z-Bart]

Picture frame 100%.

[@dustinunnerstall5314]

Why did you drill the patio into the house?

[@daveyjones9710]

[@johnthreefifteen]

Steps have got to be the hardest to work and get right. Remove forms too soon or too late and you have major problems.

[@bradmoyer9737]

Simply put “Concrete with the Hauses” took the boring out of concrete!

[@henryfehr6202]

I don't like using screws for the purpose of not being able to remove them when needed. So I use screws to hold it together and then use duplex nails and remove the screws. Never have issues that way.

[@eddieleon39]

That broom is not meant for the steps..its meant to throw water from a bucket...it leaves a heavy rough nasty finish...

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Been using it for years it works pretty good

[@eddieleon39]

You are aware that they sell and make the proper step tools...not sure why you dont have a set...for a better finish...

[@robertsnyder5193]

Throughout the years of placing concrete no one was able to tell me how it’s okay to add calcium to concrete but it literally eats it putting it on, come on man I just gotta know. Blessings men.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Generates heat, you have to keep it less than 2%

[@michaelbrausch8874]

Tom do you have an E-Mail address? I want to send you a picture of!

[@urbanawoodproject3123]

Hmm, I don't care for the cut line centered on the door. I would have preferred two cuts on either side of the door.
