Old workshop redevelopment - Pt6. Rebar crazy and first concrete pour!

[@iainrutherford184]

Hat's off to you Scott. That's a huge job, with big stress etc. Credit to you and your mates for keeping the concrete moving and camera rolling 👏🏼

[@CobwebGarage]

Didn't film me levelling the concrete off....that was pure panic stations (could feel the concrete getting harder, minute by minute). 😉Cheers!

[@devimead750]

Wow, I felt tired just watching you do all of that. Great job Scott.

[@CobwebGarage]

Hahah, thanks.

[@tonyhussey3610]

I'm convinced modern structural engineers either have lost their bottle and over engineer to be super safe...or get a cut from the building suppliers ? Fantastic work guys

[@billymoffat4744]

mucho respect Scott that was an insane amount of work man, but its gonna look fantastic in the end

[@CobwebGarage]

I keep telling myself that. 😉🤣

"♪ ♫ You dig 16 tons and what do get? ♫♪" Great job, Scott! I'm always entertained by your videos and I always learn something from them. One of the key things I learned today is "don't bet against Scott." Cheers!

[@CobwebGarage]

The concrete nearly beat me that day. 🤣 Cheers!

[@smerd1]

Well done, guys. I think the Guanabatz t.shirt helped😅😅

[@CobwebGarage]

Not in 30 degrees heat. 🤣 Thanks!

[@triumphrider230]

Bloody hell that's impressive. A ton of effort there, well 16 I think you said. Cannot wait to see the end result

[@CobwebGarage]

Getting there slowly. Cheers!

i wanna hear your rockabilly sound with scarlet voice.

Great job lads and to think you could’ve used B112 mesh which is 12mm bars at 200c x 100c,cheaper and quicker than using lose rebar

[@CobwebGarage]

I guess so, but the structural engineers' design, and the plan for the vertical rebar, was to install it in 1 meter sections (ie, dig out a meter section at time, install rebar, and concrete it back in), to avoid any danger of the walls collapsing. I did start doing it like that (you can see in the video I did 3 sections like that). This would've meant cutting the mesh into 1 meter sections to install, and then it wouldn't have had continuous lateral rebars (as the structural engineers' design). Cheers.

It was to dry when it turned up

[@CobwebGarage]

Yeah, afraid so.

[@PHILIPMOSS-g8b]

What are you building, a nuclear bomb shelter? Seriously though the job looks fantastic.

[@CobwebGarage]

I know, right? 🤣 Cheers

Wouldn’t it been cheaper moving house 😀
