Ryan, I hope you get a chance to read this. Times can get frustrating even for the boss. May I make a suggestion this is from years of leading in the military. Friday's need to be pep talk days for you and your team. What wen't right during the week what does the team need to do to work better together. You had every reason to be frustrated. People need to quit sitting around and look around to see what needs to be done next. These guys know the job already but they seem to get spaced out when it comes to the flow of things. Sure each job is a little different but when the boss goes to start ripping up concrete if the truck isn't around then the boys need to wake up. Critiquing yourself and the crew once a week will get everyone in line. you already have a good team its some little things that will make them a great team.

why wait till he gets older? buy him a hammer, tape measure, etc. and give him some 2x4's and see what happens. if he shows interest, send him to trade school or union. there, you get paid to learn and some trade schools help with job placement. ive been in concrete since '95 and a finisher since '97 but along the way ive picked up other skills in construction and mechanical knowhow. since i live on the frozen prairie, we only work 6-8 months of the year so we get a nice, long vacation. im on salary year round so its paid vacation for me. ive been in concrete for almost 30 yrs and before that, some siding, roofing and brick tending so 35 yrs in the trades as im 50 yr old now. i dont regret any of it. i made a good living for only having a 10th grade education. but ive learned more real world knowledge than they will ever teach in schools. that is if they even teach anything these days thats applicable to living daily life. sad to think that kids these days will be printing their names instead of writing it. with the way schools are going, if you want your kid to have a normal life, get him working now so he'll want to go into the trades and shy away from "higher" education. like geroge carlin said, "college is a waste of time and money. by the time you graduate, all the drop outs already have the jobs."

The people who work under me impress me in the good way all the time, I let them do the job the best they know, if they don’t do it right I just tell them how to do it after I see it doesn’t look like it’s getting done right. That’s what my father taught me: “Allow people to make mistakes , and learn from them” But as for you, you are a perfectionist, if things don’t go perfect, you explode.

It's so nice to see you out doing the work, concrete men are dying breed where I live there used to be tradesmen that could do anything and they were the best but when they retired no one took over their business and they're all gone. I had a big concrete job not long ago and I had to get guys from another state to come and do it. But I want to say when they showed up they were top notch, it was a family-owned business it was the dad and his 4 sons, they showed up with every piece of equipment they needed, no more having to rent the bobcats for the concrete guys no more having to go find tools, these guys had it all and they knew what they were doing they put down 150 yards of concrete faster than anyone I've ever seen and it was perfect when they got finished.

[@Watchdog_McCoy_5.7x28]

A lot of those old timers refused to pass down the knowledge as they were afraid they would be replaced by the young bucks if the young bucks were just as knowledgeable as them. So who's fault is it? The generation that doesn't know how to do anything and has a poor work ethic, or the generation that raised the generation that doesn't know how to do anything and has a poor work ethic? Serious question. I work with several guys that are less than 2 years from retirement, and not a single one of them wants to teach the new generation how to do anything, yet they all learned from the guys that came before them, who understood the importance of passing the knowledge down to the next generation, and were proud to see the young guys learn and become professionals like themselves. What I'm saying is, the old bucks failed this new generation. While the old bucks were making bank and only looking out for themselves, their kids were being neglected, left sitting around playing video games and never holding them accountable or giving them responsibilities. I understand that not everyone from the old generation did this, and not everyone from the new generation either, but the overwhelming majority of them did, and the ultimate responsibility falls back on the generation that refused to raise their kids properly, and failed to take the time and teach them the trades that they were fortunate enough to learn from those that came before them. Let's stop pretending like this problem just sprung up from nowhere, because this was a long time in the making, and now the chickens are coming home to roost, and tge old bucks wanna act like they are innocent and its all the fault of the young guys.

[@20truck]

@@Watchdog_McCoy_5.7x28 One of the biggest problems I see is that a lot of young people want to get paid a very high wage but yet they don't very high job skills, for instance I asked a guy one time what he wanted to be paid to be a lead carpenter he told me at least $25 per hour and that's pretty good in our area. I said okay you're a carpenter and you know what you're doing correct he said yes I handed him a frameing square and I said cut me a set of stair stringers out of that 2x12 over there, he said we'll just go down to 84 Lumber and buy a set and I said no you'll cut them out of that 2x12, he had no idea how to cut a set of stair stringers using a framing square. That's carpentry 101. So a lot of these people want high wages but they don't have the skill set to go with those high wages and that's another big problem. That's why they're not learning from older people because the older people aren't going to pay them to stand around with their hands in their pocket. If I'm going to hire you as a carpenter then that's what you're going to do You're not going to carry lumber all day that's what the labor jobs are for. And when it's freezing cold and you got to go out and frame a house that's hard work and a lot of people just don't want to do with these days That's what's basically killing a lot of trades right there. I don't know what the answer is but before too long you're going to be paying more to see a plumber or a carpenter or an electrician then you will any doctor.

[@Camberwell86]

That job needed three blokes minimum, not two. Two to roll it out very slowly while third goes behind using the hand roller to ensure no bubbles. That stuff is super heavy and the adhesive super strong, you really do only get one shot. Two blokes will never get that nice even if they've done it for years. Live and learn 😐

[@mikebaize6971]

@@Camberwell86 Yes you are right. Did you know that now they make adhesive that is like Elmer's school glue ? It doesn't bond as soon as it touches its pretty cool. That old adhesive that was yellow and smelled horrible and u had to put the glue on the insulation broad and one the rubber. Once they made contact it was over u wasn't moving moving it at all. This new glue u can pick up again and moveit if u needed lots more forgiveness. God bless you and your family my friend.

[@Camberwell86]

@@mikebaize6971 ahh I didn't, that makes things easier I guess! Yeah we used some dark green solvent based stuff that made you higher than two Bob Marleys and gave you a headache that lasted until 9pm even out in the fresh air 😷🤢 This was almost a decade ago though. Would love to do a roof for old times sake but using the new adhesive just to see what it's like. Blessings to you and yours! ✌️

I subscribed to you when u first made the channel 2 years ago and for some reason this video finally popped up and I wasn’t subscribed idk why KZbin does this but I’m glad I found you again man.

[@davidmelaas6442]

Ryan, I feel you pain. love your guys but holy cow. you shouldn't need to say one thing about parking, red chalk, saw dust from saw, dump truck, uniforms, big piles of concrete left over. All of those issues should be resolved after you've been employed a month or so.

[@milliondollarart]

thats what happened when you are trying to solve everything by yourself, everyone around stops thinking

He needs to fire his team, sell his business and move on to something else.

[@andrewj9831]

Agree... Have a standard for things.. 10 minutes after getting to the site, this and that needs to be done, even if "Ryan Sr" is still on his way. When I ran my crew, I wanted them to get the job done quickly, so they can "relax" the last 4 hours of their shift. Customers tend to be okay with paying people to "relax" when the job is done, vs seeing them "relax" at the start.

[@landonmorel3715]

@@andrewj9831so a customer isn’t going to pay because they relax?

[@Residual4]

Gotta start putting a bent piece of rebar in the wet concrete when you have that much left over. Then you can just pick up the next day with the skid loader instead of struggling with hard piles of concrete every time.

[@ramerrick1]

Good call on the bike ride! Just a thought…all those little “glitches” first thing in the morning is why a lead employee and a quick 5 minute meeting about the job could be very beneficial to making the easy money.

[@pricelessmakoa4482]

“Some days you just wish you were an employee.. and you didn’t have all the pressure” Few can relate to that, but those who do, understand how wise and true that is. Being the boss man is no easy task. My dad owns a remodeling company and he’s also had me bid and do my own jobs before. It’s a world of difference when you go from somebody who’s just expected to show up and work, to somebody who has to plan, organize, gather materials and tools, AND THEN help with the work.

[@jkkmane]

Yep. Gotta wear many hats. Youre not just managing them as workers but you’re also managing their personal lives as well. This is why I think it’s best to just have a business on your own that won’t require any employees.

[@chrisbenson6860]

I know the struggle all too well unfortunately

[@chrisclementz5472]

Ryan finally reached his limit. Nice to see you're human. Makes you even more loveable! Great guy, great crew!

[@6582rg]

Don't you think his crew, especially his son Ryan, should step it up and make the owner's life a bit easier? Prolonging stress is so bad for your health.seems like Ryan has to remind his crew of the same issues every job.

I could never understand why the guys dont unload that left over concrete when they get back to the yard the same day as the pour !! Even if they just drop it on the ground beside the truck !

[@jrob4204]

How much they make doing this as an experience laborer?

[@FGPlus]

One word: E G O

[@caden01691]

​@FGPlus It's not really an ego thing, just a lazy thing. They've all got their own side jobs they're worried about getting to after work, so I wouldn't expect anyone to go the extra mile. Plus Ryan may run his business in the sense that the guys are off the clock when they leave the job.

[@glennmiller5229]

You had every right for that. I’ve been watching your videos I love them. I use to lay down concrete for 20 years, but moved to Driving a Concrete Mixer for the last 4 years. If you have any I would love to have one of your hats with the flag to wear at work

[@RVFireFighter]

It may help if you draw a map of the job. mark on there where you want each truck & car. Also, 2-way radios would help to direct people. 1st. 5 minutes of the job no one knows what they are doing. looks bad to the customer.

[@tannereygabroad3488]

I as a roofer would be ashamed of that job 😬. They didn’t wait for the glue to dry enough so it made the bubbles

[@The_jason1]

Don't 1 piece roofs roll over the fascia and get pinned with a reglet?

[@tannereygabroad3488]

Are you talking like gutter apron?? Or drip edge?

[@tannereygabroad3488]

Also depends on what type of flat roof but yes for that job I would’ve rolled it over the fascia

Have some U shaped rebar along to wet set into the leftover mud so you can just lift it off with a chain or strap. Might save some frustration and time. Great videos! Never disappointed!

Hey you do very well for having quite a few guys that have no common sense. Truly I don't know how you deal with that all day long. You definitely need a vacation man! A well deserved vacation

[@coreydark8795]

Hey Ryan if you're not going to move these container would you consider buying a 40ft one that way you can store your requirement and product. You'd have enough room to stock up on the stuff you're always running to the store etc for... I understand it's a large investment straight up and can be done over a period of time but saves money and time long term..
