We Tried Pouring Concrete | Backyard Intex Pool Build- Part 3

[@andrewpinson1268]

Something you said stopped me completely - "All I want to do is learn new stuff". IF we had more people with that type of desire in life everything would be better. So many people would know how to do more things and then they teach others and off we go. KEEP that attitude sir.

[@Woodbrew]

Amen🙌🏻

[@cosmicbrambleclawv2]

Thats one of the reasons I love the channel so much, I have that same attitude towards things

[@PewDieC8kes]

Amen 🙏 I second that

[@ingegerdandersson6963]

The other side of the coin: I had a girl at work who were junior staff but thought that as soon as she learned to do something she should get to do other things and the senior staff should do the stuff she didn’t want to do any longer.

[@lisetteem3054]

if we had more people who said i just wanna help animals, or other people... or both.(and meant it). then the planet would be different.

[@blondviking888]

Loves your vids, no bragging, no screamin voices, just calm and low , and the attitude I'm learning :-) loves it

[@Kami8705]

Keep a spare 5 gallon bucket around for the excess concrete. Fill it up eventually, and even drop a big eye bolt in it. Then you can use them as weights for canopies or other things you're worried about blowing away

[@Dr.LongMonkey]

I see tons of those in trailer parks

[@noelaird3273]

You two are awesome, as a middle aged man I feel there is not enough young people like yourselves just giving things a go. Keep up the excellent work, and good luck from Western Australia. ,🤠🤠

[@roybrochu5409]

Not bad for a first timer. The key to finishing a slab is place it, level it, then edge the float the surface , re edge, finish float and broom it. A broom finish gives you traction around wet areas. All in all you did a great job. Oh yes removing the forms as you did is absolutely correct.

[@Woodbrew]

Thanks for the tips!

[@MelissaMesser49]

You guys are so adorable! I'm a new subscriber. I started watching on the first pool build video. I have now gone back and watched many, many other videos. Molly, you got a good one sweetie! I can't wait to see y'all be parents!!!!!!

[@Woodbrew]

He’s a keeper for sure☺️☺️ Thank you for watching!

[@MarkTEwing]

This backyard is really starting to take shape! Just keeps getting better and better!

[@Woodbrew]

Just need some final touches and it’ll be 🔥🔥 Glad you like it!!

[@ThePaxtone]

One father to a future father: get your wife and future child some pool deck stairs to make things easier for them. It will help her climb in the coming month, and it will be easier to use the pool next summer with the new +1.

[@larrettamullen4023]

You two are just too cute for words. If it paid more, I'd be a lifelong student. Love your attitude toward life. Keep being awesome!

[@StevenKensy]

Hello guys!!! New subscriber here. I've been watching many of the homestead videos for the past year or so. Found yours tonight and am totally into the ways you think and do things!!! Your Dad seems like a great father and works well with you. Molly, you are always supportive and a great person ❤️. Best wishes for your upcoming birth.

Sometimes "finished is better than perfect"

[@Woodbrew]

Yea sometimes🤣

[@billsbasementworkshop1902]

Hi from Manchester England. Dylan stop beating yourself up and trying to see perfection in all that you do, your doing a great job. Most people only see imperfections if you point them out they don't usualy go around loking for them. Pouring concrete is not easy, I know because I have a friend who does it for a living, pouring vast amounts for shop floors and car parks. Also the wetter it is the better. It will tend to level itself out and will still set but it will set stronger than if it was dry because it takes longer and stresses less. Great work you guys. love the vids, keep them comming.

[@joansmall9019]

I love watching you guys because you take the initiative to learn on your own. That's a good thing being a homeowner. My dad didn't have KZbin, but he bought books and studied and put it to the test. He did it all and ended up being a handyman beside going to his regular job. The projects he did are still standing there today after 60+ years.

[@AndrewCSmith529]

I am so glad that I found your channel. You two are the perfect couple for putting these videos out there to the viewers. You are a natural. The work I have seen you do; I would pay you to do it for me. You're an amateur bordering on professional. 👍👍

[@Woodbrew]

Aww appreciate that so much!

[@Woodbrew]

Thank you!

[@maxinearmstrong6290]

you both make a lovely couple and will be great parents love the way you will try to do anything credit to young people and hopefully an inspiration sending love from Northern Ireland ❤

Thank you so much!

[@Charles-xq6mr]

Looks great!! If the concrete gets a little dry when you're finishing just wet your tools a bit and it will smooth it out. Keep up the great work kids!!! Have a great day!!

[@1023Blessed]

What an awesome husband, and he has the best attitude!! Great job guys! ❤❤

[@jeboutdoors377]

I would give you a A+ because you tried to do it yourself. You did a great job at it.

[@timothydarrow9474]

You should expect imperfections when you are learning something new. It looks to me like you have done a very good job for your first time learning experience. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride?

[@Woodbrew]

Thank you very much!

[@Kimar7779]

I love listening to you guys! Your channel is informative and uplifting. Keep learning and growing TOGETHER! Rooting for your continued success in DIY projects, life and love! 💜🙏🏾

[@danmcbride6258]

I think you both did an awesome job for your first effort in concrete. Your forms were bang on and all the tools you bought helped clean up perfectly. It’s hard to determine the timing on video because of editing, but you pulled the firms perfectly well. Good job. 👍🇨🇦

[@cweaver6792]

I think you did AMAZING on the concrete curb.... I wish I had a person that could do that at my house!

[@Honey-may-33]

My husband brought home a bag of concrete 10 years ago for me to Play around with and now I’m addicted, but my backyard looks amazing and gets more beautiful every year!

[@ReccaPatel]

I’m trying to talk my husband into letting me get a chopsaw… its not going well! Send tips😂😂

[@Honey-may-33]

@@ReccaPatel ask him for a jigsaw first, then a miter saw and then a chop saw, slowly learning with smaller tools and working your way up!

[@celinaquiros9381]

Love seeing you two do projects. No muss. No fuss. Just real home projects. Sometimes that's all you need to get motivated to take on a new task -- just seeing someone else tackle it. I'm really impressed with the two of you because you seem so young and you're just learning and getting after it. SO good!!! Looks great by the way. I'd give you a solid A.

[@Jacy320]

I enjoy watching your videos. You're definitely someone after my own heart. I'm a woman in my sixties and I still like learning new skills and fixing my own stuff. My grandfather was a blacksmith/welder and taught all of us how to fix things instead of throwing things out and getting new. I've saved a ton of money over the years and gotten a lot of self satisfaction. Good on you for all that you've done. It looks great!

[@Cherrie25]

Molly your hubby is so Darling you both are precious to watch. ❤

[@lisasymonds6732]

Your husband is amazing, such a hard worker. You will have an amazing backyard when it is complete.

Y’all are doing such a beautiful job, it’s rewarding to invest in your own kingdom

[@onamissionfortruth6326]

WOW - that looks AWESOME! You guys really nailed it! Such a great idea for such little investment. Looks expensive & will stand the test of time. Nice work!

[@beaner2907]

I absolutely love how you've taken your knowledge and just went for it. And what a beautiful space you've created! The canopy was a great idea too! You're really inspiring!

[@MrKnotWright]

Just a thought, you might should have put a piece of rebar in the edging to keep it from cracking with ground movement, 3/8" for easier bending, also could have added the fiberglass fibers to the mix to help out also. To keep your fancy new tools look new, try paste wax on em after you are done.

[@Woodbrew]

Great point!

[@abeerali7834]

Very very impressive ❤ Learning new things everyday is part of the food for our souls and brains. Keep going guys!

[@cliff5240]

I firmly believe Molly is going to have that baby while working on one of your projects and then go right back to work :) It turned out great as always!

[@fillg]

For future projects forming concrete, those plastic deck boards are pretty flexible and work really good to form up curves. I'm not sure they'll do quite as tight of a curve as what you have there but definitely close. The place is looking great, keep up the good work

[@gingerrob7328]

Great project. Continue your quest for knowledge, it will never fail you. Because you’re next to a wet area you might have considered a brush finish on the walkway to prevent slipping. Also, I am using and enjoying the IFixit kit I won. Thank you again and continue the great content.

[@Woodbrew]

Wish we did that, but it’s really not too terribly slick! And so glad to hear that!🤗

[@johnkirby6547]

Amazing job 👏 🙌 You put the right amount of thought into the process before starting and it shows. I see more concrete projects coming up..

[@Kevs_da_one]

Why are we doing just because I want to learn ❤❤💪🏾

[@Woodbrew]

Always learning!🤗

[@tanmaree1290]

We live in Australia and we have gravel all around our pool and it's been there for 18 years now 😊and be careful when you get out of the pool and onto the concrete slabs that u don't slip! With no texture on em 😊

[@JJ-bf1se]

Another great video, you kids are rocking it. Learning a new skill/trade is very valuable. Eventually upgrade in tools when/if decide to pursue, but decent quality are great for couple uses. Keep up the great work, and enjoying the videos.

[@guybowers9094]

The pool area is really taking shape and looking good. I'm looking forward to seeing the two of you holding the little one. You guys are going to be some great parents.

[@mortengudbrandsen]

I just recently got to know your channel. You guys truly are inspiring. I am gonna build something similar to your above ground pool next summer. Thanks for the inspiration

[@zuhoerlady]

I guesses 5 bags. Then I heard your guesses and thought I was so off with my guess. But turns out I was almost right 😅🎉 Watched the first pool video from you and since then I'm hooked. You're both so relaxed and curious and inquisitive. And your skills and projects are so fun to watch. ❤ Ps: I would like to see how the mowing project is going on 😊 Ps2: Congrats and all the best for your expanding family ❤

[@Woodbrew]

Ahhh good guess! Have not even started on clearing the rest of the property yet, but plan on it somewhat soon! And thank you!

Looking great guys!!!! Would definitely like to know the due date for the little bun. But completely understand if that’s to private! Love you guys. Always praying for y’all!

[@Wanda12483]

Looks great! Because you are close to the pool and the cement will get wet, I suggest leaving the top of the cement a bit rough to prevent slipping.

[@JulzHair]

I'm impressed!!! It looks really nice.

[@rogerkiser5890]

You guys are awesome! Can’t wait each week for your next project and video. Keep up the great work and Dylan or Mr Perfection, I feel your pain going from custom furniture work to framing and concrete forms! God bless both of you. ❤

[@Woodbrew]

Love to hear it!! Mr perfection is his new nickname🤣

[@InstaPete]

Occidental is the real deal!! Framed houses with mine in snow, rain , and summer for years! On those long days the suspenders really help carry the weight for when your loaded down or at least get the hip pads. One of my favorite things about occidental is the ability to get other additional pouches which a leather worker can pin them to the belt. Also get some leather treatment or some beeswax and rub it in during those times your not using em! 👍🏻

[@mrfixit5404]

From personal experience, I would recommend putting a small piece of re-bar in the curbing. This will help with both settling as well as with tree roots. Cracking is inevitable, but the re-bar keeps everything together with shifting.

[@heathmix3204]

I like what you said about wanting a "life long learning" experience, so one of the things you can do when you are detailing the edge of slabs is moisten them. I noticed when you finished the steppers that you had some issues. Use a little water to keep it more workable. It wont give you a ton of time, but will help with not tearing it up as you are working.

[@stflaherty63]

This Occidental resident is glad to see Occidental Leather toolbelts getting some love!

[@chrisgentry4427]

Buy all the tools! Tools are what elevates us from the rest of the animals on this planet. Life is frustrating enough as it is, so why add to that doing things the hard way. Buy that tool you might only use once in a lifetime, but is the perfect tool for the job. You will stay happier for longer.

[@RichardAdams-p3q]

Your back yard is looking awesome Molly and Dylan. Keep up the good work.

[@Woodbrew]

Thank you so much! It’s getting there!

[@douglasphillip1423]

Excellent job , inspires me to take chances myself. Only things that I would question are : 1.) why no rebar ( or something to lock the concrete together ) ? & 2.) why didn't you hammer your forms ( to remove any air pockets ) ? Keep up the good work.

[@AnnEaton-xj6ic]

I just found your channel a few weeks ago and subscribed!! Y’all are too cute!! I love your can do attitude!!🥰

[@ncylee4]

Watching these videos makes me hope my daughter marries a country boy. You two are so cute!

[@Kami8705]

For larger areas like the pavers, rebar is probably smart. Also, once you've done a first pass on it, use a recip saw with no blade on the outside of the form to vibrate it and get alot of those air bubbles out.

[@1023Blessed]

Wow! Great job guys ❤

[@susanhighfield8284]

When you guys started building that fence around the pool, I thought you were building a deck around it to hide the blue plastic. Nice fence.

[@MyCracker1234]

Never heard that saying before "Buy once, cry once" that's a new one for me.......Our gang of ground workers have a saying, if it looks right it is right, That would apply to the work you were doing. Liking the video so far, back to watching. All the best.

I've helped make a sidewalk and there was a curve in it ,we just soaked the wood forms in water to help with the curve,works really well.

[@itsallgoodness]

You might wanna get a yellow grout sponge from home depot or lowe's. It comes in handy for smoothing concrete and stucco. Your work is pretty good though. I did ceramic tile and marble for years. You should do some Mexican Saltilo tile work in the future. You'd probably be good at it. Maybe kitchen floor or outdoor walkway, patio. It's beautiful tile.
