My older brother Brody is the one with glasses and is power troweling at the end! Very proud of his work!!

[@mikewatson4644]

He did a good job. Tell him I said so.

[@squatch253]

@JoTownley - Thanks for watching! I worked with Brody as much as I did with Corey to get this job done and both surpassed my expectations 👍

[@rontroester3786]

Big shout out to Sunderman Concrete! The floor looks fantastic!

[@dougkubash8673]

Between the builders and the concrete crew they sure did a great job!! It's so refreshing to see people that work together as a team and got their s--t together!! You got one quality looking building Squatch!!

[@konradlincoln9508]

It is good to see good quality work being done.

[@rickharper6320]

Great work ain’t cheap …. Cheap work ain’t great !!!! This crew was fantastic !!!! Work was top notch !!!

[@jmailbell]

“A RED SHED Production” WOW! Those fellows made it look easy, concrete finish looks out of this world! Some things turn out better than other just by luck. I think you hit a home run with the Red Shed, the placement on the property, the size, the color and the way it is situated. Not to say you did have a whole lot of thought and work involved but the stars also lined up for you. Well worth the long, long wait!

[@MCW1955]

Isn’t it great to watch professionals work? Quality concrete finishing is an art. Beautiful.

[@rogerallen6644]

That power float was something to see. And Senior was supervising the pour! 😂 What a great video!!

[@bobpaterson1845]

Superb finished floor carried out by a first class team of tradesmen 💪💪👌

[@curtisbolinger3366]

Oh wow! Every man’s dream, to have a beautiful pole barn to store all of his treasures. I’m not jealous….. very happy for you.

[@JamesMitchell-ei9qy]

Magnificent man cave! Top notch job!👍👍👍

[@triptisrinivasjanardan3929]

Just went back and watch this episode again, because I felt like it. One word describing your channel, Squatch: Quality. I unsubscribed from the other channel I had, you're it for my KZbin time now and I know I won't be disappointed.

[@RobertBrothersJr-dc7nr]

Finishing concrete is an art. Those guys made it look easy. They did great work. I’m soooo happy for you Toby. Your building is progressing very well. It’s beautiful. Very enjoyable video thanks.

[@SuperMAZ007]

Your contractor and Sunderman Concrete made probably the best work on the storage shed. Very professional approach and I can tell from the crew that worked they know exactly what they are doing. Usually pouring concrete never is a easy job and there are million things that can go wrong. I can tell from your voice your very happy with the end result.

[@williamhastings7182]

A Red Shed Production...I like it...they did an amazing job, they make it look so easy but concrete work is not easy...great job guys!

[@rawbsworld6604]

👍 awesome !!! No wood shed in squatch 253 world , take it to the Red Shed and get things worked out 💪 😝 ✌️ 🤙

[@lordcaptainvonthrust3rd]

Massive respect to the Sunderland crew Watching them pour and finish concrete was like watching you rebuild a machine...... pro's always make it look easy Looking good, Squatch, just like the "Red Shed Productions" logo 👍

[@rickyjessome4359]

Fantastic video Toby. I've worked in the construction industry for the last 16 years. I drove all types of trucks, operated all types of equipment and worked with concrete. It's an art all of It's own. And these guys done one heck of a job! Cheers

[@joehovanec1985]

Thank you for sharing this with us. They did a wonderful job with the concrete.

[@chrisrhodes5464]

It's truly a joy to watch a skilled group of tradesmen doing their job looks like you was able to get a group that knows their stuff

[@WasserSquatch]

The amount of skill involved to finish concrete is often overlooked because most people only see the dirty stinking guy at the gas station getting a monster and a slice of pizza, but the guys who do concrete are very skilled.

[@squatch253]

100% agree 👍

[@Anonymous-ff5wr]

Thanks😊

[@josesardinas7660]

The fact is construction is a VERY demanding task... we can see it when it's not done properly. I admire people doing manual labor no matter what, but construction is one of those activities we should respect even more because we LIVE inside things these people create.

[@danhunik7949]

I have wheel barrowed cement for a few slab pours. The skill of the guys in charge really do effect the quality of the finished slab. Leveling and timing for the finish is critical. Hats of to that crew.

[@johna7661]

Beauty, better than a lot of hanger floors!

[@triptisrinivasjanardan3929]

Excellent, Squatch. Great to see good skilled workers at their craft and very good compliment you gave them at the end, one tradesman to another. Happy for you and Sr, the new building is coming along great.

[@donpampel3332]

From an old concrete salesman, good to see them pulling the rebar up in the concrete. It docent do a lot of good on the bottom.

[@craigb8145]

WOW Im so jealous!!! A shop to make any man drool. Sunderman Concrete did fantastic work!!! when its finished you will be SO Happy! And what a great place to store your collection and work in! GREAT job Squatch!!!

[@Casey9269]

How exciting and fulfilling this has to be. Correctly you did a tremendous job of preparing the space for this barn to be built and the quality of it shows. You have been fortunate to get what is obviously quality construction companies to do the work. I always enjoy seeing projects like this where the time and effort is put in to ensure a well built building, tool, equipment and etc is the result. This is why I appreciate and enjoy your videos and attitude to any project you take on.

[@clydeschwartz]

Excellent video the concrete crew did a really nice job and it was nice that you could make a video of the work

[@googleuser1036]

I have noticed on pours "up north" that chairs are not used on the re bar to insure that placement is up in the mud properly as opposed to being flat on the ground. I did see them pull up on it in places but not completely. Looking nice!

[@Radiotexas]

I was going to ask that question. Maybe it is the "up north" thing. We always do it here in Texas. Would appreciate a comment. GREAT JOB!

[@googleuser1036]

@@williamschmiedel6890 yes, you have to drive the truck over sometimes but, then you pick it up and put a chair in place. Did you see any chute extensions in use? I did see them pull it up a few times but study the video. I have trouble understanding why any body would want to defend some poor workmanship. The proof will be in the longevity ... Let's watch for checks and cracks.

[@googleuser1036]

@@Radiotexas Exactly, I have been on the business end of a jitterbug as well, the manual type to make sure it's settled properly etc.

[@frritter8253]

That's going to make a dandy storage-shop Toby, well thought out! You selected skilled builders.

[@princepa123]

Luv seeing Sr. rapping with the cement truck driver. Retirement should be this good, so much to be thankful for, to be proud of; the wisdom in his depths. Thanks for sharing.

[@tmscheum]

Seeing the concrete trucks inside the Red Shed gives a better idea of the scale of your new building! Nice!!!!

[@raincoast9010]

Hats off to the concrete crew, i used to work for a similar company.

[@patzke]

Concrete work is truly an art. They did a beautiful job.

[@dwjr5129]

Looks really good. I put up a 24x30 shop in my backyard last summer. It had a steel frame. I hired the shell done and spent the whole summer finishing out the inside. I’ve waited 30 years for it and it has definitely become my version of the man cave.

[@mike681]

thank-you! I really enjoy your videos! So very well done and informative

[@markdavich5829]

RED SHED Production - 👍👍

[@rawbsworld6604]

Evolution never stops in the KZbin universe 👍😆

[@sierraspecialtyauto7049]

Concrete waits for no man. I've done a lot of building (not a contractor but often been told I should be) and the concrete is ALWAYS the most tense part of the job. These guys had it together.

[@manuelmaseda4875]

So happy for you Toby 😊

[@granterickson9294]

As a carpenter myself and general contractor, concrete contractors are much appreciated. The good ones are had to find, not easy to get. Treat them well and with respect to their work and you’ll have someone who’s willing and able to come back the next time. Nice building and now nice floor. I hope eventually will be getting the rebuilds out in this shop😊

[@user-fh2bn3mk7k]

I delivered concrete for 22 years brings back memories.The guy scrubbing the floor on his hands and knees. Those are called knee boards . We always told customers to stay off the slab ( parking or storage ) for 14 days . State , county , jobs was 28 days. Just some advice and general knowledge I gave you. You can do what you want your shed . 😊

[@jbj27406]

Well done! This has to be one of the most satisfying milestones on this whole journey. A perfect, pristine new concrete floor, EXPERTLY created. This is a form of art. Well done!

[@tractorhyatt7044]

Looks awesome, Toby! That crew worked like a well oiled machine in putting down the concrete. I am going to share this with my father in law because he wants to put down concrete in his pole barn. Neat to see the process by some hard workers, thank you for sharing!🚜👍

[@johnhenderson8360]

Those guys looked to me like a well oiled machine. Looks good.

[@Steve765]

Those concrete guys just don't get enough recognition, I did it for a short while when I was very much younger and it is hard physical labour.

[@shaneharrison4775]

Awesome job they did with pouring the concrete and filming it is also a plug for their good works in their feild it speaks volumes about the company and their craft. And seeing it gets the word out.

[@AlonzoSabree]

They did a very good job I like to work I am a concrete finisher from Virginia and I know good work when I see it😅😅😅

[@transmitterguy478]

Great job Sunderman Concrete! Toby you will love having such a big space to work in, good luck.

[@KStewart-th4sk]

I WISH i had those guy's. I had a jerk that made a first-class mess of a pad for my 24X24 garage which i had later moved from another property, when the pad was finished. It was then i discovered how unlevel the pad was! To top it off i had bid on concrete at a charity auction and i had given the jerk the slip for it. Now i think he just pocketed it and charged me full cost anyways for all the concrete. Lots more to this story that i won't bother typing out. Thing that really burned me that dolt had full payment the same day the concrete was poured. Few years back now but what do you do, try and sue, jackhammer it all up? CONGRATULATIONS SQUATCH, IT LOOKS LIKE THESE GUYS DID A GREAT JOB. I should add that my brother did a 24X26 pad PLUS built the garage for my Dad many years ago, perfect job and not one hairline crack in the cement years later. He wasn't in the business any more or i would have had him do my pad. We live in Canada where it gets down to Minus 30-40 degrees too in winter. My Dad has passed on though, lived to 100 on his own almost until the end.

[@geneguenther4325]

Thanks again for the update Toby! The slab looks amazing! Can’t wait to see what comes next!

[@kevinschroeder3889]

5 trucks at 10 yards each. $150 per yard. 5 X $150 X 10 = $7500 Price of having a shed that you can now put your treasures in PRICELSS! You definitely hired a very professional crew. Now we have to get a poll of what is going to go in the RED SHED!

[@tommcmillan3143]

Great Job! Well deserved, congratulations on getting your barn raised!

[@horatiohornblower868]

Pouring concrete is hard work. These guys don't need to be rocked to sleep at night. Very solid work, congratulations!

[@markhelseth253]

Excellent! "This Old Shed" is getting there. Yeah the concrete guys are artists with serious time limits placed on them. The logistics of multi truck deliveries adds to the challenge. Nice to watch the professional nature of laying down the yards. Love the riding power trowel!!!! Oh but watch it when shaking hands with them...serious pipes and grip. Smile.

That screed machine is fantastic. What a labor saver. I've never seen that before. I'm used to doing that bit by hand. They did a great job.

[@123starion1]

Here in Norway we use insulation under concrete floor like that. To prevent damage from frost in the winter

[@deannajoseph]

Pleased for you Toby that it's all come together so well. Seems like you've had some great teams behind you. Well done all. Hope you can keep the deer out while it sets up. Bit late now maybe, but you should have written 80K in a corner somewhere.

[@davidapp3730]

Back breaking work. Looks like the crew did a great job.

[@PixelSchnitzel]

I know it's easy to take concrete work for granted, but I am always fascinated and thoroughly impressed watching an experienced crew work together. Those guys know their stuff and they work in a coordinated fashion as well as (or better than) any surgical team.

[@squatch253]

That’s a fact, not once did I see anybody having to be told what to do - they all just knew what had to be done and did it 👍

[@teddill4893]

Looking good. Hope you are able to finish your list before the freeze.

I’ll have to review but did he say in 10 weeks ? 😳

[@larrydavidson3402]

Those guys done a fantastic job on the concrete. No matter what concrete is hard work.

[@blakeb1992]

I think its so funny how different trucks are state to state. Here in the northeast every cement truck has the chute off the front and the driver sits in the center. I dont think ive ever see a cement truck like those in person.

[@squatch253]

Yeah for some reason these rear unload trucks have always been the norm around here, but a lot of other places only use the front unload trucks. I don’t know the reason for the difference either 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@slypig24]

Great gob, the variety of rebar available now is huge, with galvanised a good option too.

[@Jethrosgarage]

I don't recall a redi-mix truck coming to the homestead, it was me, a pickup load of sand, some bags of cement, a hose and a wheel barrow. I laugh when I go home and try to sweep the garage floor, it's "crumbling" on the surface as dad tried to STRETCH that sand to cement ratio! Not much cheaper than growing up with a Swede for a dad! :)

[@shifty4277]

Heck yeah coming along nicely!

[@auburnfolsom]

Not to sound critical, but really surprised that you didn't have a thick base of gravel put down before pouring the concrete. 🤔🤔 My friend in northern WI had a shop floor done the same way you did (plastic vapor barrier & rebar) without the gravel base. Just poured right on the dirt. A year or so later, the concrete has several cracks. Yes it has the expansion cuts in the floor. Same soil as you appear to have. When I did my 30' x 50' garage back in 2002, they said you always want a gravel base as thick as the slab. My slab is also 6" thick with the 6" gravel base, vapor barrier, wire mesh & expansion cuts every 10'. Twenty two years later there isn't one crack in the concrete ! Your floor looks good. I sure hope you aren't haunted by a cracked floor from omitting the thick gravel base, like my friend's shop is.

[@squatch253]

This does have a gravel base, put in place 2 years ago when building materials were so high that I decided to hold off on the build. It was able to set up so hard in that time that they nearly had to chop through it with a pick axe when they dug out the footing - but the reason you couldn’t see it is because the build crew’s surplus material that was left from back-filling the post holes got thinly spread across the top, leaving only a few areas of the gravel visible. I also excavated and installed a French drain next to the gravel pad to control the ground water content for added insurance. All of this can be seen in the prior episodes of this build series here found in the “Field Land Clearing Project” playlist 👍

[@auburnfolsom]

@@squatch253 great Toby ! I wouldn't have thought you'd have cut corners & left the base out, but one never knows ? I must have missed that episode. Glad to hear it has the gravel base. I'd hate to see it cracking like my friend's floor did. We tried to tell him his needed the gravel base, but his concrete crew talked him out of it. Now he's paying the price with a cracked floor.. It should be a fantastic storage building with plenty of room for your equipment. Always enjoy your videos.
