This Homeowner Expects A LOT!

[@GGQ-h9k]

Luv the father and son banter made me chuckle 😂 Stamp work on patio .. perfection!👌🏻

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@pemman]

I was intrigued by this project. You explain the projects so well Tom.

[@br549rdr]

Love the wood plank pattern!!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Me too!!

[@kensterling5217]

Nice Job guys, Finally came across some Craftsmanship on these KZbin videos.....🍺🍺

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Welcome aboard! Thanks

[@kensterling5217]

@Concretewiththehauses Hello 👋, saw this and Sub"d. I have 2 Buddies that do Concrete.....One is like me, he is going to do Craftsmanship, Built to last and he has a year waiting list.... The other is the Shortcut King....he poured a slab the other day using pea gravel grout instead of getting the Big pump and using 3/4 rock. And it cracked just like a lot of others on this KZbin. 🤔🤔🤣🤣🍺🍺

[@Mac-wy9by]

Love it Just have to say Tony the concrete driver is a great member of the team 😎😎😎

[@Concretewiththehauses]

I agree

[@williamkonecheck9239]

How about the video about your relationship with Thrower? How long? Are you their biggest customer? The color concrete you sent back? Maybe a tour of the plant! Love all your vids!,etc thanks!

[@dennislamers986]

Boy that wood style stamp is beautiful.

[@smsears6743]

6 patios in a week, wow that’s a hustle. Pretty sure it takes the same size crew at Victory 4 days to do a patio.

[@mikeknoll1130]

Can’t wait to see the Harvest Wheat when finished.

[@ronaldcamp6757]

You need to turn that asphalt into concrete!

[@michaelhuffer9966]

WARREN you are a hellve good job man

[@jojpjo8702]

Another great episode , great job .

[@doogie64]

Love your work. Wishing you had a location in Fredericksburg, Va.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thank you very much

[@Jeff-zk6dk]

Great looking fire pit area 👍🏻can't wait for sawmill video.

[@tpep1693]

Most of them DO!

[@joshuaweiler4566]

I hope you make it a point to ramble more with the crew on Fridays. I know its tough to get your crew to open up. But I enjoy it. Thank goodness Steve will talk a little bit. Enjoy all your content Tom thanks for all the hard work

[@MrThuggery]

Beaut finish Tom, Steve and the great crew you have.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks 👍

[@stevealldred4424]

What a nice-looking patio! Well designed and carefully thought-out steps! That wood plank stamping is so clean! Hit the Like and subscribe buttons!!

[@keithburch5506]

What a beautiful place to hang out in the evenings. The retaining walls really helped set it off. Very nice indeed. I do love the milled boards stamps, so real looking, yet it's concrete! I will catch the rest of the coloring, sawing, and sealing, turning concrete into eye candy. Love it! I hope y'all have a great weekend too, thanks.👍❤️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@galenfowler8453]

Nice Job! You guys do a great job. It’s really nice to see a team that cares about the quality of their work

[@torbjorn.larsson69]

Superb…

[@E.Meyers]

Another beautiful job! Awesome team of gentlemen!

[@toddpacheco4748]

Assume job and work Tom,crew ❤😮hope that Steve’s father in-law loves the outcome 👍✅

[@terresiagregg9326]

Awesome job Tom Steve n crew you all are masters at concrete

[@larrybryan8913]

Just found you guys im up in New Wilmington sure keep you in mind

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks

[@marcconner8382]

Nice layout...cool steps !

[@JohnSmith-tv5ep]

TOM, yinz guys ALWAYS figure out how to make forms and finish fit the final look! Fantastic job ! Also love the relationship and 'teaching moments' between You and your son Steve (the rebel !) . Best 'Dad' award!

[@Hayabusa-ll7fo]

I see a fellow yinzer watcher

[@bryanlloyd1099]

That turned out awesome and I love that wood plank look!

[@theacgkid]

4:15 I can hear Tom now.. "If this camera wasn't on right now I'd slap..." Lol!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

You are correct

[@jameslemasters9792]

Just wanted to mention that on your saw mill video you mentioned that you were going to sticker your lumber with green stickers. You don"t want to do that you will get something that is called BLUE STAIN. Always use dry stickers between your board's. Love your videos

[@Concretewiththehauses]

That’s the kind of stuff I need to learn. Thank you very much.

[@jefferyholland]

Pretty handy form work on the steps Steven. Well thought out.

[@jerrythompson7744]

I enjoy watching you and your crew work , cool videos

[@sbkhider]

Absolutely love the wood plank stamp! That's now what I want for my patio. You were talking about the last bit of concrete in the truck, my old neighbor had his own concrete business and he had a big job, lots of trucks, and my Dad wanted to extend our driveway/ backyard parking, so Joe our neighbor sent the trucks with that little bit of leftover concrete to our house and we got a new extension on our back driveway free of charge. Of course my Mom made sure the workers had plenty to eat and drink for all their hard work. Ah the good ol' days 😂 He would be amazed on how far concrete has come!

[@timothylong68]

Always nice work

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks again!

[@kingkong7617]

Another great job, well done.

[@kenpgh]

Greàt work , wood stamps really look neat !!! 👍

[@charlesviner1565]

Beautiful work 👍

[@ddmau7995]

I drove concrete trucks back in the early 80's .Old 18 speed "B" model Macks . Your work is spectacular, I'm kind of a creative guy and those plank stamps and colors are so neat .Does the concrete company charge you crazy washout fees for using color in their trucks? We have a large Concrete company with front discharge trucks and theyre all powered by Hydrogen .Anyway, I just became a follower of your channel, keep up the great work.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Welcome aboard thanks for the comment. I believe they charge us about $60 to clean. Ilike the hydrogen.

[@kenpool8507]

I agree with you Tom. A border around the fire pit, in my opinion, would have looked good

[@chris-h6980]

That looked awesome 🎉 them steps look really hard to do.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

It went well

[@Marshall_Weber]

Awesome Video!!

[@Z-Bart]

Have fun with the sawmill. Most all of my 2023 urban logging (wind falls) has been turned into lumber.

[@SunChips24]

What a relief to see Steve finally get a shave and haircut! To each his own but dang it was getting out of control

[@viankalobosvalenzuela7456]

Excelente y muy hermoso trabajo saludos 👌👍

[@FUT-Franklin]

That step down to the door.... Does it have any drainage or is the client planning of having a foot spa when they step out the door 😂

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Drain

[@rjlaxvespa1742]

Maybe add an awning, directing off the slab...

[@flowerstone]

You said if it sticks to your fingers don’t touch it. But you touched it. 😅

[@ourlifeinwyoming4654]

Fantastic pour - and we subscribed to your Son's channel. Also, we have that same stamped pattern. We've been asked how we got the wood to look that way - then I tell them it's concrete.

[@Saskinny]

"That's what dads do. Letcha figure it out." LOVED that! LOL!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Classic

[@evankibbe590]

😊 nice 😊😊😊😊👍👍👍

[@mikejoseph6166]

You do a great job explaining the process in the videos! How often do you recommend reapplying the sealer and can you apply it with a plastic sprayer?

[@Concretewiththehauses]

About every three years unfortunately, you should use a good metal sprayer

[@mikejoseph6166]

Awesome, thanks for the info!!!

[@balamala2647]

Much easier to mix the color before the pour than to mix the color after the pour, not sure why some mix it afterwards.

[@keiths.6251]

We learned that epoxy coated rebar did not adhere to the concrete when we built bridge decks in Fl.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

That’s what they use here

[@matthewdoran3561]

How do you work the stamp on the radius. That looks amazing. Well done! 😊👍

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Stamp right over top of the radius

[@arresthillary9502]

16:30 understandable to be frustrated and get a little snippy atpops about that but the reason Steve is MasterCraft man and doing stellar work now as an adult is because pops let him solve his own problems as a child,just like that moment. Steve's stress is the product of someone who cares about what he is doing. Nice job fellas!! ( . / . )

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thank you very much

[@gmankillian2933]

Border around the fire pit would have been cool!

[@toddmatson4179]

Steve scoring some major brownie points with the in-laws...Did you knock off $4-$5 bucks a square foot on the price??...In-laws discount...😮

[@Concretewiththehauses]

6 or 7

[@barryhoneycutt3894]

Pardon me for appearing dumb, but i do not understand the steps dropping down into the house, garage, basement, whatever? Is that not going to allow water to rush into the building? TY Tom love the videos, that stamped look is fantastic, love it!

[@Tony-Rinaldo]

They've got a drain system installed down there

[@Concretewiththehauses]

There is the drain at the bottom, step, forgot to mention that several people have commented

[@ddmau7995]

You didn't see the drain while finishing, in almost all municipalities it is code to have a drain in all outside areas where there are stairs . Water goes into a sump pump and then gets pumped into the yard .

[@SergeUnburnt]

Good afternoon! Great job! Super! I wanted to ask if concrete needs to be vibrated?

[@kevinscott404]

Tom ya need some over size Mickey Mouse yellow glove to back up the mixers.

[@redmapleranch]

Nice pour. Where do you get the fiber rebar? I’m about an hour south of the Burgh and can’t find it at any local suppliers.

[@MySqueakyfoot]

Nice work and a nice lookto accent the property. how is rain and water going to affect the step down? Is there any concern about dampness, wood rot or anything like that?

[@colingriffin409]

What is the purpose of the sunken steps a future ducky pool??

[@douglasrichter6869]

Has Throwers business increases because of your channel? Maybe you could do a video about Thrower.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

They seem to always be busy

[@johnyoung2544]

Is there a drain in stairwell?

[@frankcooper6911]

👍

[@lindawillets]

Do you use a metal detector on your logs before cutting ? I watched some youtobe of some of the metal embedded in logs . Dangerous and costly when blades find metal .

[@lhfloors]

Hi is that rebar better than wire mesh thanks

[@michaelbrausch8874]

How do you like Steve’s haircut Dad?

[@rickramirez2220]

I’m a new subscriber. I’m just curious how does the water drain down in those steps by the door🤔

[@Concretewiththehauses]

There’s a drain at the bottom

[@warrenjohnknight.9831]

If worked in a very large sawmill, and many of old worker's had missing finger's, 😮😢.don't put your fingers in there was definitely the top safety message, hand injuries were normal in the sawmill, my work station was the chipper, and it chipped 4foot wide logs 30 feet long in 3 seconds, so putting my hands in was a death penalty. 😮😮😮.especially when jammed timber was required for me to reach into the mouth,

[@rorybellamy2533]

will the steps fill up with water like a bowl? i see a drain there? hand rail and an awning over the door ?

[@GunpowderandFreedom]

There is a drain there. Water will not be an issue 👍🏻

[@outfitr9703]

How did you get the plank stamps to go up against the firepit walls?

[@Handyguy223]

You can bend those stamps in pretty close to walls. Then a texture skin and joint roller is used to get it the rest of the way/touch it up.

[@rebecaruiz7065]

✅✅✅✅✅

[@debbievogt9881]

To , what happens if you drop that bag in the cement mixer?

[@johnyoung2544]

I see the drain

[@eddyarundale1566]

👋🏻

[@BarryB382]

Won't the heat from the fire pit crack the concrete

[@saljablo2767]

The rolled texture is so much better then the wood plank look. The wood plank looks super dated.

[@jefftrag1956]

Do you have home owners sign a waber that says you and the cement company are not responsible for damage caused by cement truck driving on the asphalt driveway?

[@saljablo2767]

Not speaking about your team but from what I’ve learned. If you don’t detail every expectation and monitor the job closely, as the client, your job will not get the attention you expect. I never fully trust anyone to just do a job correctly. You have to be a little bit of a dick. “Hey guy, this homeowner is a dick, so make sure we get this done right and the job is cleaned up right. I don’t want to hear anything”. Being a “great customer” gets you nowhere.

[@debbievogt9881]

I wonder if they're counting the days until your retirement

[@peterkonitzer4410]

wasted 1min

[@coop8756]

Looks great ever need fence or railing let me know Bethlehem fence Pittsburgh pa

[@Concretewiththehauses]

You got it thanks

[@danielfenton5914]

As always, a 1st class job! Would love to have you guys come to the Portland Maine area to replace my asphalt driveway with a concrete one. I’ll furnish the lobster! 🦞. It would be a long shot but you wouldn’t know any outfits in my area that would do as a professional job as you would, do you?
