Concrete That Will Never CRACK! Best in the West!

[@tomhorrigan5769]

Honest. Doing your best work regardless if anyone is looking over your shoulder is the only way to work. We need more contractors like you!!

[@primeral]

there's something about good concrete work that's so satisfying to watch

[@nevergiveup-db6fp]

Xavier is the man America needs more workers like Xavier he’s awesome

[@jakebroz9116]

I don't live on the west coast and I don't have anything to do with concrete but I can always appreciate hard, honest work! Keep it up!

[@WestCoastCustomConcrete]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@samarirobinson95]

I have no desire to be in construction but this guy give me motivation to start a concrete company 😂😂

[@RealMTBAddict]

I've been working in concrete for almost 17 years 😂. I need to start my own business.

[@mrprfct7069]

This is hard work but so satisfying to watch or do at home. I ain’t a pro but I have done some stairs and a patio with my dad. Self satisfaction to do. I learn a lot from these videos. Wife always saying why do you watch this boring stuff. Woman will never know 😂

[@Qplus-tc5hh]

Florida had sunken living rooms in some houses. I've see 2 houses with sunken living rooms and part of the house in terrazzo and rest of house in hard wood floors. The house across the street built in 1978 has a sunken living room.

[@saucedbenny]

Blessing us with the words or wisdom. Always appreciate what you have to say about the business side of things. Great video as always!

[@travisjae1775]

Awesome video bro, it brought back memories of when I started doing concrete work after college primarily for residential. I later started an infrastructure rehab company specializing in polyurea/polyaspartic industrial coatings.

[@size-matters]

I poured hundreds of house foundations in Florida back in the 80s. Only a hand full of them had sunken living rooms. They were thought to be very high end back then. I have filled in a couple as well. Like you said. It takes forever to set up. In FL the humidity is high so takes a long time for all that bleed water to evaporate.

[@Recycled1]

Nice job, My wife’s cousin has a house like that. We call it a “Brady Bunch” style house. It has a sunken floor in two rooms. When they have party’s they tell people to be careful there’s a step down or up. Crazy design.

[@raystormont]

Your jobsites are well organized and neat and your equipment appears clean and cared for all great signs. I noticed you are using concrete with a lot of water (loose). Dryer (less water) mixes equal more strength for concrete pours besides why pay for water concrete is sold by the yard so the less water the more value you and your clients are getting while reducing the time to start and complete finishing. Great careful execution of a small job your customers are well served by choosing your firm. I did not see any epoxy used on dowel pins they seemed interference fit (driven) I always use larger holes with epoxy to eliminate any risk of future spalling from oxidation of dowels and my building code usually require a cementitious bonding agent for dowel pins.

[@scottpump]

I’ve been doing a lot of these in south OC. Great work ethic brother!

[@WestCoastCustomConcrete]

Appreciate it!

[@paulcragg1315]

Not sure about the cling film used as a vapour barrier.

[@zrunner800]

If I needed a vapor barrier there I wouldn’t approve of that plastic but I don’t really think it’s necessary. As a bond breaker? Sure. No issue there and I think that’s the value this adds. Personally I wouldn’t install one unless the original concrete floor had detectable moisture issues.

[@IppiopaidFEEDBACK]

I like watching people who know what they are doing.

[@chrisw6337]

Good video, I worked in fly ash in Australia and there the ash has a greater than 100% cement equivalence and the concrete keeps getting stronger forever. It’s all dependent on the mineralogy of the coal and the processing of the ash. US fly ash is pretty crappy. There are also some companies developing volcanic ash products for bulk concrete..

[@WestCoastCustomConcrete]

Very interesting ✌️

[@robertgentile6799]

Anthony, you’re videos keep knocking it out of the park 🎉

[@pcatful]

There wouldn’t be a code to rebar to the existing concrete. You’re just adding a topping slab. So good idea , won’t hurt for any possible movement. But always good to check the code beforehand instead of “l don’t kmow.” Board shorts always. 👍🏼

[@steevemachine118]

Ever heard the addage "The only concrete that didn't crack is the one that hasn't been poured yet!"? 😂

[@adventurefuel5172]

That, and “there are two kinds of concrete. The kind that HAS cracked, and the kind that WILL crack”. That being said, he did a fantastic job.

[@Truthsearcherforever777]

Will u ever do a video on making concrete houses? Florida concrete houses is getting big

[@Justthemow]

Down here in Louisiana the drivers won’t let you wash back into the truck like you do they make you have a dump site for residual next to the job that sux

I am currently in the rat race running a large company, and brother your lifestyle is sounding really good right about now.

[@mistersniffer6838]

Yea, but you would not have it any other way, or, you would not be there!!

[@BillyJ10]

Here at the jersey shore, when pouring around piles of raised waterfront properties, we use sill gasket foam

[@GregGraham-t1r]

Sea water or salt water will eventually start rusting out the r bar inside from the salt content in the water. If your ever in Guam you can see the result of using sea water in the mix. All conc homes from 30 /40 years ago with r bar rusting out and the conc falling off in chunks.

[@Thephilipcartmelexperience]

Interesting. I'm with a crew pouring in the Philippines. We use fishing line as guides for level grades.

[@brap1980]

this is awesome bro, btw is there alot of ppl doing epoxy over concrete in so cal..

[@arjunalablond5725]

Great work, great message.

[@davidtisch5237]

I work 70 hrs a week most weeks and never had a scheduled day off since 2014 cus I’m dispatched out. That said concrete work would be my side hustle if I had the time to bid the work. It’s hard work and financially rewarding too

[@lipozor]

Only weak part are wire used to connect steel rods, instead of plastic heavy duty TIE WRAPS.

[@MalcolmX22]

All concrete cracks, I don’t care who pours it.

[@bo-esugarxbush7139]

Was gonna say the same thing. Only watched to see if there was some new mixture or something that stops it from cracking 😂

[@sku32956]

I had the sunken living it was popular late 70s around here we framed it up level then put a oak floor on it . Agree timing is a huge deal I did get lucky on that one 2010 I bought in while the market was still down .

[@gargar8196]

The gauge I used for future work was the price for a barrel of oil . The higher the price the slower it got. You use interest rates. Either way it is a real prediction

[@thatamerican3187]

The sunken floor goes with the avocado colored kitchen appliances. Once those are gone you gotta do the sunken floor.

[@Gizmo82477]

Lotta weight on those floor joists plus live loads but it looks good

Do you use any of the helical steel additives in concrete? It replaces rebar or fibers? My engineers said it is used in beams instead of rebar.

[@robinbuchan6233]

i think you need to come to australia i will show you how to do this correctly

[@jasonhansen6632]

What do you think of the schwing P88 pump with the Hatz diesel? We do pool decks, I really like the low RPM pump engines better than the High rev engines but they do max out at 30yds an hour.

[@ngoswick1]

What mix are you using??

[@maxslomoff]

Hey I’m curious if plasticizer would help keep the bleed water down in a situation like this? Did you not mix it in for expense reasons or because it wouldn’t help?

[@SilvaDreams]

Likely volume reasons, not going to easily be making what looks like 4 square yards of concrete that is six inches deep in a portable mixer.

[@maxslomoff]

@@SilvaDreamsno they didn’t use a portable mixer- a truck came and dropped it in his pump

Best advice you give on these videos and i really hope leople listen is dont get equipment on payments, make it work and save up and buy the equipment outright, the borrower is slave to the lender, if you buy equipment on payments it puts you behind the 8 ball from the start
