The WORST I've Ever Felt!

[@vanuren3345]

Tom no matter what channel I watch, there is always something to learn, even in my late 70’s. When Mike Morgan introduced you to us on his channel encouraging you to start a channel, I started looking for your channel & have never been disappointed. Your level of professionalism is at the top!

[@henryfehr6202]

I would never compare you guys to victory. He might have more subscribers but they are a one trick pony. All I have seen from him is broomed and stamped. And he always has to babysit his guys. You guys I have seen exposed aggregate, stamped, broomed, power troweled and countertops. And all your guys are talented and work like a well oiled machine. I have never heard you having to yell at your guys. I would rather watch this channel any time. I have been in concrete for 26 years and appreciate a crew like yours. And you do a great job of explaining your work.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Well, thank you very much.

[@keithburch5506]

Hello Elliott! Good to see you again. Tom, I'm very happy your channel is working for you. I always hope and pray the channels I follow will pay enough to keep the videos coming. As i just commented to Mike Morgan, you and other KZbinrs are a blessing to us. There's just so much bs and crap in the world today, to be able to stay away from that, to watch people share their real life w us, is a true blessing. It doesn't really matter what it is you share w us, w me. So far, you've been 100% perfect! Just setting up the camera and sharing what you're doing today is a blessing. You certainly don't have to. But you do. It's not made-up, fiction, bs, it's real life. It's real! Some things are repetitive, but that's ok, it's what you do. I've never been bored watching you guys. You pour concrete. I expect that every day, but so far, in the last 4 years, I've watched you, your crew, your family, do many other things. I've special memories from many videos. No sir, never boring! Y'all just keep on keeping on, w the camera on and we will be very happy. Today I saw what I've felt from video #1, what Y'all do is hard, mentally and physically. We've just not seen it up close like today. You guys, all of you, have my respect. Thank you for sharing your real today.👍❤️🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@ronallen6578]

Nice saying this Keith. I agree wholeheartedly.

[@E.Meyers]

Amen!

[@robertmashburn5321]

I think Victory and all the other concrete channels I watch are great but you do the hardest and best quality of work than anyone

[@Beachwriter]

I wish I knew contractors like you in our Florida area of the country. It’s your ethics and professionalism, Tom.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

I work with a great bunch of guys thank you very much

[@Z-Bart]

The worst words in a concrete man's vocabulary; "We're losing it". Nice save men!

[@rogerhowell9987]

Tom thanks for your recognition it’s a pleasure in my retirement to watch professionals at work Thanks

[@davidbickford2539]

Tom, I’ve watched your channel since the beginning. I’m no concrete guy, but I can recognize good work. I had built a 30x40 pole barn in the boonies of NE Indiana, and couldn’t find anyone to do the concrete floor. I finally found an older concrete guy, who was still doing small jobs, sidewalks, etc. He agreed to do it, and was able to find 4 guys to help. The biggest problem was the local concrete companies would only allow 15’ of chute. Halfway to the back wall. No extensions allowed! My guy wanted to pour the back one day, and the front the next day. I wrongly wanted one pour. The pour was 18-1/2 yards. You guessed it, by the time the front was down, it was too late to get a good finish on the back half. To make matters worse, my guy had his gloves off, and burned his hands badly. ER that night. The next day he was back on the job for saw cuts. His hands were so bad, I had to string line the cuts and start the saw. The floor is solid, no cracks and drains to the center drain pretty well. It is rough in places, but it is a barn after all. I’ll add that it was 90 plus degrees. Sorry for the long winded post.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

No apologies that is a great story that can easily happen to any of us. How about that guy from the ER to Saw cutting

[@davidbickford2539]

@@Concretewiththehauses He went back to ER after he finished the saw cuts. Came by two days later, hands bandaged. Recovered quickly though. He earned his money!

[@froter1]

Good to see Mr Elliot back 👍💯👍

[@ronallen6578]

Morning Tom, I've had 2 times I can relate to when I almost let the heat get me. 1st, I was drilling pier holes for a deck in 95° full sun. Young and dumb and came close to passing out. 2nd time I was cutting up logs to purchase in IN in even higher temps. Guess my memory sucked from the last time🤔🤔🤔 My point being we all have probably pushed things to far trying to finish a job. Most guys like you aren't going to quit until it gets done. You have instilled that in your sons and evidently in your crew. Just be careful doing it---remember that your old😂😂. I wish I was 57 like you. 68 last week. As far as watching your videos, if I haven't watched everyone then I haven't missed but a couple. I'll go back and look. Hopefully you get to that 300,000 or more subscribers or more. The thing I really like about you and your channel is that you show the good and the occasional mistakes. Guess what, we ALL make some. Me? I've made more than I should have, but what do you do. As you did in this one, you're still learning after 40 years. I've heard that the day you stop learning is the day you stop trying. Ladt thing in this windy text is that you still try to answer or reply to a lot of us, your fans. You've responded to a fair number of mine and while not a long winded text like this, you at least let me know it mattered enough to you to reply. I personally want to thank you publicly on your channel. Keep going, keep learning. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow. Ron

[@joegrimes6485]

Very work on the save . Your crew definitely cares about providing a quality product. Nice job guys

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Yes we do

[@fredcory2686]

A strong team always figures out a way to get a tough job done. Painfully obvious how much labor is involved in pouring and finishing a quality concrete job.

[@Glaikit-gype]

Great save on the concrete drive. True professionals.

[@michaelmullins1290]

I remember the last concrete I helped pour. My Dad and I, alone. He passed out twice. I think i did once. I told Dad id pay for anything else he needed. Even if i needed a second job. You guys do great. I appreciate how real you are.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thank you very much

[@brotherbruce]

I formed an opinion decades ago that hand screeding concrete is one of the very toughest jobs there is. It takes everything you have and then some. Glad you guys pulled together to get er done.

[@Amritt_Poncho_Villa]

ELLIOT!!! Welcome back! Good to see you!! Tom I have always admired your crew, fantastic teamwork, outstanding cohesion! I also admire your leadership which fosters that teamwork and cohesion! ; -)

[@scottfrazier131]

There is nothing else that will test a man’s strength and endurance like pouring concrete in the summer.

[@loul8766]

Tom, all I can say is that every time I watch, I come away saying you guys are awesome! You all work hard and, when you’re done, it’s a piece of art!

[@carlustownsend7588]

Welcome back Elliott. I was wondering what happened to you. I was thinking maybe you're not interested in the trade anymore but I am glad to see that you are back.

[@thomasw8400]

Tom, I am always impressed with every one of your videos. You and your team are very talented professionals.

[@jimkalahar7571]

Enjoy your channel. Nice to see real peolple working hard to make a good living.

[@lynnbreazeale9134]

You’ve got a great crew, love the way the guys just know what to do and don’t grumble. If you’re ever in SC and need work, my driveway needs replacing. 😂

[@welderman1221]

I always appreciate good craftsmen! You all are very good at what you do, thats why I follow. Thanx to Mike Morgan for turning me on to the TSH team. I learned a lot from your vids and even applied it to small concrete job, thanx, Tom!! Other craftsmen to watch on youtube are , Out of The Woods, Nathan is a great sawyer. Matt Cremona for wood crafting!!

[@jeffshuler1011]

Been watching since the first video, Tom. I love the channel and learned so much from you. You make the work look easier than it is and that’s because you’re a real pro!!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks for sticking with us for so long

[@justhavfun1]

Glad to see Easy E is back

[@jnich17]

That big drive way pour was awesome. Seeing everyone get after it shows the level of workers you employ. I enjoy all your videos and may not comment all the time, but I enjoy them all.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks 👍

[@terryross1754]

A lot of what you show is repetitive BUT - each job is different, with different challenges and solutions, plus you are the master of detail, which I love to learn (the Devil's in the details!). And you also show your equipment with maintenance etc. So your channel may not appeal to everybody, but it draws me like a magnet. Keep on keepin' on Tom !

[@user-jq3qp8qs8v]

Hi Tom I’m the 74 old guy that said hi on route 8 to you.saying that I watch your every video.I wish I were younger and could work with your crew ,it more family than work. And you’re right there should be way more subscribers,but home owners can’t appreciate the job you do,like retire contractors do with is probably your subscriber base.Lord bless you,have great day,Butch

[@chrispadula221]

Always good to see Elliot back for another summer!

[@JamesKing-jw6hs]

Thank you Tom. We all enjoy the content. I just miss the smell of mud in the morning.

[@hddoug72]

Tom, I'm impressed with your channel... you keep it real and give a great perspective on the details. 40 years in what can be a very stressful occupation... I can see why you have been successful. Its not easy!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks

[@demadre]

Tom and crew, you all are AMAZING! Can’t believe how you pulled that last driveway off.

[@scottuntz4534]

Now that I hear you bring it up, I am surprised you don’t have more subscribers but I always just chocked it up to the system. I will say you guys are some of the hardest working people, job after job after job in the same day where other guys would drag it out and work half days. Very efficient crew you have

[@jacksonwolfenbarger6802]

Tom, you guys deserve so many more subscribers. I enjoy all of yalls content

[@barryhoneycutt3894]

Nice job Tom, but i have to ask, are you a Spider Wrangler Now? LOL 🤣 I subscribe to over 1200+ Channels, Yours and Outdoors with the Morgans is top 2 favorites for sure.. look forward every day to see what ya'll are doing. Your channel reminds me and shows me so many new things from when i was a Concrete Contractor, small time, but the tech is so far advanced - love it - 71+ now concrete, roofing and working track crew and brakemen on the Railroad were my hardest three jobs ever.. those days are gone Brother - Love your channel it's ALL GOOD! Thanks to MS. Donna for all the behind the scenes work, taking care of Tom, family, and the Grandbabies -is full time + overtime LOL Thanks guys - My extended fam from PA> all the way to SE Texas :) ❤💯🙏

[@froter1]

You definitely have the most relaxed, thorough concrete videos! I look in on other concrete contractors, including a nice young man in Pittsburgh ( Allen Construction) , but seriously, Tom ...y'all are the best , in my opinion...love your videos 👍❤

[@mikebarushok5361]

Had days like that myself. Especially if the humidity and temperature is high and a thing ir two throw you out of the normal rhythm. Just nothing else you can do but get the job done. The concrete won't wait. You handled yourself well and ended the job with the same number of employees as when you started.

[@stevengrammont44]

Been watching your videos since the start , you guys do phenomenal work. I watch other channels who do the same work ,but you and your crew are a well oiled machine. You guys make it look easy because every one of you know what you're doing. Keep up the good work and the subscribers will continue to come.

[@jamesyoung4633]

Your crew goes without saying are the best, that's how you get through the tough ones . Job well done. Perfection is an illusion.

[@juanmafnas2142]

I enjoy watching your videos and the "quality work" that you and your crew do! I have done some home project with concrete before, and I wish I had watched your videos and done the same work with the rolled or stamped concrete. I'm retired from the Army with 27 years of service and a combat tour in Vietnam and also a retired schoolteacher with 20 years of teaching. I always say that I should have been a carpenter when I see the projects of building a home from start to finish or when I watch videos like your channel and see the work that is being done! You have a great group of people that work for you, It looks more like "family working together" on a project and everyone doing the best work that they can contribute to maintain your reputation as a quality company that provides the BEST products for a happy customer!

[@GrantRowell-u9q]

Glad to hear that U-Tube is giving you a big benefit. I really enjoy watching you and your crew. Ageing sucks.

You have done a great job. I have seen a lot of finishing done in commercial and residential work and your crew are very good. You are knowledgeable on concrete. I had a old finisher who only gave 2 guarantees on concrete it would get hard and crack.

[@JohnWilson-ql8ks]

one word comes to mind and that's "BEAUTIFUL" your work is always way beyond what it could have been if it were done from another company..

[@torchup]

I've been in the trades for 40 myself. I watch many concrete channels Your work, crews, care, and drive to customer satisfaction is superior to all the other channels, Period! And frankly, Victory is a clown show of disarray and circus buffoonery that's just sitcom entertainment that maybe we all watch because it's just empty entertainment. I come here for the class and the art of seriousness to the ballet and finesse involved to the dedication to beautiful concrete work..

[@scottweinbrecht2143]

I love the designs you stamp in!!!

[@jeffshuler1011]

Watching some crews makes you wonder if they’ve ever worked a concrete job before. Your crew is so disciplined in the details and it shows. Even the best have tough days, but you guys pulled it off.

[@alfredomarotta6604]

Hiya Elliott, welcome back. Great job guys, always attention to details and craftsmanship. Always enjoy your videos. Maybe when you retire, could be the camera man since you do a great job at it.

Nice job in the summer heat. It looks as though water would flow towards the house? Did not see any drain.

[@joyfilters]

The big driveway, are you not concerned with water running down into the garage? I would've thought maybe a drain a few feet away pushing the water away would've been needed.

[@nyjohn12]

Former USN Corpsman here. I was stationed in southern Spain. During the summer - every day sunny and in the 90's. Key to working in those conditions is to drink BEFORE and during working. Drink liquids that replace the electrolytes lost to sweating - not just water.

[@alfredomarotta6604]

Thank you for your service.

Y’all are warriors! Only bad thing about professionals like yourself is you give us mere mortals too much confidence that we could perform at your level!

Philadelphia Mike -- I told you before that I started porn concrete in the 60s. -- concrete was done a whole lot different than the way it is today -. Today is more technique like stamping and coloring. - more detailed involved -- Now that I’m retired, I have all the time in the world to watch all the concrete KZbinrs - And I still consider your company being #1 -- I feel you got an All-Star crew. - more so than other companies - just want you to know that is my opinion from past experience - You do get some nice jobs and you do quality work. -- I hope everybody watches your videos realizes that
