The remark about anxiety arriving with that first load of concrete is spot on .From that point all your planning (or lack thereof) will be quite literally set in stone. All members of the crew have to know their parts in this strange dance and be able to improvise when weather or other circumstances add complications, because the concrete has its own timetable. Great video.

Exactly! Pretty much no actual workman is overpaid. Your budget should reflect your respect for the people you hire. And then if you need to ask a favor - like fixing a problem that arises late in the work day - they’re totally willing to cut you the slack.

Hi, For your next Q&A, I would love to hear about a time you were "screwed over" or when a contractor or company tried to take advantage of you and your team. I think it would be a great lesson to the young guns out there to explain how you (probably, based on what I've seen of your personality) remained calm, kept a level head, and approached the situation. Also, knowing when to cut your losses and the stress of dealing with a swindler/braggart isn't worth it. Best, Tim

I might go out on a limb here... BUT... along with that "how to stay calm and keep a level head... I think it might be nice (kinda probable, too) that we get to one of those incidents that taught Scott to find his calm and keep (or get back) his level head... Kinda probable? Yeah... I have the distinct feeling there might've been a time when Mr. Wadsworth wasn't all together as easy to get along with as he seems just now, particularly when looking forward to some net loss that he can't just "magically recover in court"... ...and I've known a few too many loggers to think he was just born as sage and mellow as he is today. The sad reality is that there just ARE some things you can't possibly change. There are some losses that even if you did seek to rectify, you'd only drill your own financial hole deeper and Deeper and DEEPER... ...and losing control, getting violent, making threats or taking horrible actions physically will ONLY exacerbate that financial problem... I have my doubts it was necessarily Scott doing it to himself, if we're being honest. BUT the logging and outdoors hard-labor industries in general are rife with quick tempers, short fuses, and occasionally outright physical criminality... so it's likely he found his "life lesson" through some concerning personal relationship, or a nearby "catastrophic failure of diplomacy" that caught his immediate attention. Either way, though... I'd like to hear that story. I'd like to hear another perspective of what to do when you've just lost "X" and can't possibly ever recover it... rather than physically beat it out of the guy you KNOW just took it and walks away... Sure, I have my own methods, coping mechanisms, etc... and "Karma is a b***h", though once in a while I've found a necessity to plant a size 13 half up her deified backside... BUT... I'm always game to hear someone else's perspective. It makes me feel a little less alone in the anxiety. ;o)

As a construction inspector for 20 years and currently a QC manager for a concrete producer for another 12, I really enjoy watching your content! Contractors in my area would shit a brick if they saw that many crew on just a footing pour... it's usually the pump guy & 2 crew. And, one "don't" you didn't mention... do NOT schedule the concrete for the same time your inspector is due to arrive for your final subgrade/rebar inspection... nothing stinks of presumption more. Remember... Arguing with the inspector is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while, you begin to realize he enjoys it! 🤣🤣🤣

From 2000 to 2009 I was a masonry foreman for the world’s largest masonry contractor McGee Brothers Inc. In one year I laid 120 full brick houses and around 50 crawl spaces and around 10 basements. Our footings were “great” if they were within 1/4” but normally they varied about 1/2”. Your footing looks perfect I bet I could spread one trowel of mud 3 three! It would slide on those perfect footings. I could leave my brick saw at home! You do great work and unfortunately that’s not as common these days as it should be. Keep it up!👍🏻

But then i also watch Jamie Manzel to see what _can_ be done, when you trade technology and some know-how for pure elbow grease and patience. Now, I know some folks have a problem with the way Jamie does things, and maybe they're right, but I just love the dichotomy. Both have real value, to me.

Over here by us,the pump trucks are the real McCoy. The advantage of them over a pull behind grout pump are: handle larger aggregate,a stiffer slump,easier to handle (no hoses to drag) all resulting in a stronger mix. Your last truck of the day was the only one with a respectable mix. The others were much closer to a six inch slump than a four. Also,if you want to increase the workability experienced with a "looser" slump,use a super plasticizer. You can order the concrete slump for example at a 1 inch and with the correct plasticizer behave like a six. The plasticizer will not cause aggregate segregation as wither will + it works like "grease" with the pump.

We call that paying a 'bonus' rather than a tip. Even haying workers get a bonus if they come on time, work hard to do the job and work well with the team. That isn't easy for teenagers but when they get paid more for doing a hard job well, it is motivating. We benefit by hoping that next year when they choose who to work for, they might remember us. Good workers are a treasure no matter what they are doing!

I just had an addition built onto the back of my house and always went out of my way to make sure the workers had water, I set up shade for to take a break, and when there was a small crew and we had enough we would also offer to feed everyone. A little kindness goes a long long way when you are working in labor. One guy threw out a nice pocket knife in my trash and my son found it and brought it to me. I saw that it was a CRKT and they have a life time guarantee so I had the parts needed sent to my house, fixed it for him, and put a knew edge on it. Then I found out who it belonged to and gave it back to him. The guy tried to tell me to keep but I told him that it was his and he should keep, I also told him what to do if he needed to fix it again. After that the guy told me he was from Puerto Rico and other than his boss no one had ever shown him such kindness in the states before. He said he felt that people looked down on him because he was a latino construction worker. I'd like to think I made some what of a difference for him and yet no one ever tried to take advantage of me. I truly believe in rewarding a job well done, whether it is with cash or some way it can improve the work environment. Even though they get paid there are some that take the time to the job EXACTLY right and not just good enough.

Great videos guys and really looking forward to seeing more in-depth videos here as the house goes up! Great insight on paying your day labor right away. It made me think of a verse in the Old Testament (which is maybe where you got the idea originally). Deuteronomy 24:14-15a “You shall not oppress a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of the sojourners who are in your land within your towns. You shall give him his wages on the same day, before the sun sets (for he is poor and counts on it)...” It’s been a good practice for me and, from a project management perspective, it can make a huge difference when you can get guys to show up quickly because they know they’ll get paid that day.

I always enjoy watching when people pour and finish concrete work. I'm not a cement worker but I can see working with cement is an art but back-breaking work due to constant bending over reaching out to smooth and finishing the cement. Cement workers must take pride in their work in order to have a good even, smooth surface, and the correct grading as required.

We were absolutely obsessive about using them throughout our project, and yep, on one occasion I slipped and landed with my chest on one. Hard. Hate to think what that piece of rebar would have punctured if we hadn't put what we called a "mushroom" on it.

Just found Essential Craftsman a couple of weeks back thanks to the Andrew Camarata channel. As someone said in another comment Essential Craftsman is Essential viewing. I just caught up on the How to Build a House Series and eagerly await more. I will never build my own house, yet you can learn so much from this guy so that at least you know what to do and expect and how to deal with builders and other contractors if you have one built. I wish I had seen this 9 years ago when I had a detached garage built. Would have relieved a lot of angst. The good news though is the garage turned out great. I did a lot of due diligence on contractors and apparently got the right one. As I watched what was going on with the forms, pour, etc. in this series, it was very much like what happened on my build. But I certainly would have felt more comfortable at the time if I had seen this first. This guy is a consummate professional. I will never do any blacksmithing either but everything about him from the technical aspects to delivery of whatever his subject is, is a pleasure to watch.

As I stay up to date on your house build, we are erecting a new building on the grounds of my place of employment. I have the pleasure of seeing these things in practice! Thank you for the excellent videos!

Impressive preparation, planning and workmanship - hard work but fun when it's done right! A lot of humility - just because it's worked before no one assumed that it would work this time - that's true responsibility

It is a very satisfying feeling to have a hand in creating a home where once there was only dirt. One imagines it would be even more satisfying to to be able to afford such a home as the result of one's labor.

Amazing insight and invaluable advice, especially concerning paying the crew. I enjoy your videos because you present your knowledge in a complete and uncomplicated form, balancing specifics with a global view of the process. Statements such as "staying ahead of it" and "concrete trucks deliver anxiety" give a profound insight of your experience and skill.
