Pouring two concrete slabs in one day | Blacksmith tools pour

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

Thank you Eric for letting me bring Dirt Perfect , S.O.T. Metal works , DOT Bear Woodworking and Farmer Chris along for the job. Truly amazing that the timing fell into place to have all these KZbin channels on your project. Your are as easy to work with in person as you are in your videos. Hope to see you soon and thank you for the opportunity.

[@DirtPerfect]

Yes sir thank you very much sir much appreciated 😁

[@TexasBarndominiums]

It was a good time. Thank you all for coming by.

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

“Look at my eyes!” Haha that’s what 4am will do to you! Looking great Erik!!

[@TexasBarndominiums]

Exactly. I was running on 1.5 hrs of sleep on last 3 days. No wonder I’m getting old. 😂

[@cajunrage5737]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who can’t sleep on pour days, I’ve been doing this for 22 years and I toss and turn on pour days only, whenever we’re setting forms I sleep like a baby the night before 😊

They call them a pig from the pipeline industry. They were originally various objects from rubber balls and plugs used in pipelines to separate different products. For instance, they’d ship gasoline for a few hours then would insert a pig or two and start pumping diesel or heating oil. This kept the different products from mixing together. They then used some with metal blades to clean out the pipes. They got the name pig from the squealing sounds they’d make as the traveled through the pipes. Nowadays they have what are called smart pigs that are electronic devices that survey and inspect the pipelines from the inside checking for corrosion and weak spots. They help keep the pipelines safe and working well.

Awesome video for a Sunday ... Thx BUDDY

Man, my dad did that for years. Hats off to all the concrete workers!

[@DirtPerfect]

You and the crew did a awesome job seen it first hand 👍😁

Nice Eric, Thanks for all you do.

Nice job. Looks really good.👍

[@kathyteegarden1685]

Another Great Job Erik! I hope that you were able to get some much needed rest after this pour.

Eric, I'm retired, but my son is in commercial construction (now in sales for marine projects, mostly oil and gas), but he was responsible for roughly the last half of concrete at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts (phase one, he is not associated with phase two.) He, like you, spent many nights up pretty much all night making sure the concrete got poured where and when it was required. Enjoyed this video, as always! Oh, and I was in IT for my entire career, but my son got a degree in Construction Science from A&M, and has been actually employed from internship to present in the field he was educated in! OK - you can probably tell I'm a proud poppa! My daughter is in a totally different field, wedding planning, but I am equally proud of her, the comments just don't seem to pertain to this channel! :-) [EDIT: Meant to comment, if you were to have two of those rider floats, you could literally do "construction bumper cars"!]

Thanks Erik, love your content! More details about the concrete terms and what it means would be appreciated, maybe even a whole video about the different types and styles of concrete and how they affect the building processes. PS get some sleep sir!

[@michaelbrennan7148]

Thank you for posting. Good stuff Eric.

[@cullenmiller8170]

I worked for a company in Germany and we demoed a foundation of a huge hammer at the Mercedes factory and it took over four weeks to cut and break the concrete. They had used H-beams and lots of #8 bar. It was about 50’x50’x10’. That building shook all day from the other hammers forging connecting rods and other parts.

[@av1204]

hey dirt perfect!

Hey

[@luisprieto739]

Awe love those early pours...you just like me in a big pour I usually just stay there cuz you really can’t fall asleep.. keep up the good work👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Muddy feet on site got a love it

[@wildcat_reloading]

Working hard 👍🏻 i support this

[@layneanderson9582]

I was suprised you didn't tall grid the rebar before pouring. I saw one poured and they had squares inside a square with verticals spacing the rows about a 8 in apart and then tossed in some cross ways.

[@richardbowles7690]

(6:56) Why no rebar in footing for the power hammer machine?

[@TexasBarndominiums]

We threw it in there. We also added fiber to the mix. That was an after though project and we didn’t prep it. We threw tons of rebar in there though.

[@lordmugglestone]

that's an awesome power hammer...

[@mtandsonsconstructionllc6392]

Did you use local finishers or bring guys from down south?

[@scottH18370]

Erik do you ever build slabs with curbs around the permitter? I was curious how you would form that up?

[@donz327]

Erik, do you end up with a flatter slab using the rider versus the walk behind machines?

[@cm.4828]

Lol!! Bosses are clean 🧼 sups are clean.....the man who’s actually mucking is the dirty guy....Lol!

[@jonathangorrell9674]

Hi, Why don't you do a wet curing of the concrete for a few says after pouring it? I've read that this can increase the strength of the concrete by as much as 50% and I've also heard this make the concrete less pours.

[@luisalonso1249]

Quick question!! Can I cut a hole in a PT slab?? Even if I don’t damage the tension cable???

[@luisalonso1249]

It’s a 2 story house

[@TexasBarndominiums]

Call engineers. They can de stress the cables so you can cut the slab. Then tension them again when done.

[@benhillman4691]

Drainage under that slab...vibration will cause a cavity so pour in a V shape

Why no rebar in such a big pad

[@TexasBarndominiums]

It has rebar

[@DirtPerfect]

It’s loaded with rebar

[@YeaDatDrill]

Hey call Matt he need another barn! Don’t let him build a cheap junk barn just extend the slab and build a extra space on the side of the original‼️

[@dayadaya8071]

Sir I have doubt on cement *)What is the difference between 53 grade cement and rapid hardening cement *)We know that rapid hardening cement it sets quickly higher strength because of its finer cement particles *)rapid hardening cement is more finer than 53grade cement then why can't they give name like 63grade 73grade like that

[@C-Culper4874]

The hammer will bust the cement. They took out all of the grass.

The metal building adventure here in Arizona is a nightmare. Calling to get quotes is all over the country sales people lie and say there in Arizona but there in Utah .... Colorado..... Texas they all lie. Anyway concrete bids are as bad so l send them your videos no one wants to do a all in one poor. They want to do sections and saw cut's no full slab poors so l'm stressing on telling them your way to do concrete they are all way behind your experience.

@@TexasBarndominiums Actually, it's criticism. Go back thru your history and find any video where you don't complain about something in one form or another.
