Thanks
bobcat is number 1 machine love bobcat products
"The mix is a little bit dry..." now that my friend is what we call a 'polite understatement'!
😁
Looked like a 2-inch slump. Drier than a popcorn fart.
everything we do for the family ......good job guys
Nice job mike thanks for sharing and thanks for the chat on the different icfs was interesting to hear your thoughts on the different brands 👍👍👍
Work site looks nice now. No tracking mud all around. Looking forward to seeing the progress as time goes. Thanks for the insight on the ICF.
Stay safe.
Bruce from Mason Michigan
Thanks
Finally that light moves!! Lucky the plans weren’t drawn up on cardboard. Great explanation on the block types. Nice job guys 👍😂
Thanks
All I can say is that you have the greatest videos, I enjoy the heck out of them, always waiting on the next one. Thank you so much, enjoyable, educational, and just pure fun to watch. Keep up the great work..........
Thanks appreciate that
Bobcat your next project maby sooner or later a great mix is the best for your works 😆😆😆👍👍👍Take Traktor Tim and make nice deal 😆😆😆👍👍👍have a nice weekend and bee safe 😷😷😷👍👍👍
Nice to see Mr. Slacker MBTS Arron is back on the job along with Robbie and Mr Millinial Matt.
As always.
Great job Mike and the guys up there north of the Artic Circle as we Miamians call it.
Y'all can keep that snow.
Under 40 degrees we think it's horrible as then we gotta wear 3 layers to survive when were used to 1with shorts at the most.
Heck, if it gets below 80 it's long pants time.
So glad y’all moved the lamp post . The wife was so worried “ they gunna break it”.
Well I guess when granma runs out of things she will have the convenience of the store..but at night she'll have to deal with the bright lights of the parking lot..
I have been binging on your videos since I came across your site love the content keep em coming Michael
Thanks appreciate that
Man you guys really work fast........😎
Thanks
Those guys who build those Dollar Stores are like the Walmart of construction workers.
Hello there. Those concrete trucks are marvelous. We don't have anything like that here in the UK.
Yup work great
That sounds like Dollar General that's what I have seen in most of them, just pour and pour. Well if the water comes to grandma's place then u can sue them and have it redone right. The work at grandmas is looking mighty fine. Matt is getting better at some things just didnt do that good on scooping on uneven ground. At least u all can joke and have fun. Thanks for the video DP.
Great video, thanks for sharing. Kevin
Thanks
It’s funny you guys call them footers and here we call them footings. 🤷♂️ 😂
Same here
Ya, footings, footers, they are so important and most have no idea,,,,,,I pour mine 2' wide normally unless I'm forming large retaining wall then I go 12-16 thick and 3-4' widewith double mat of 5 bars and the thing everyone misses,is verticals bent rebar ,that's what keeps the dam wall up,,,,,,not rusted, but good. Bar,now they use fiberglass rod,shear strength is what your after. No bar. No shear strength, ...more the better,,,especially if 100%. Backfilled on one side,,,I offset my walls when doing big retaining jobs, I design them and install them,,peace,,,
And 3'-4' wide
@@timedvrodlehnen8448 yeah I stay away from the construction of that stuff I only dig the holes. I’m just a dirt dummy😂
Good morning Dirth Perfect and the crew. Greetings from Jamaica 🇯🇲. Hopefully you are all keeping safe. Nice to see grandma house coming together nicely. Loving the video 👍👍
The hammer drill vibrator is genius. Good you're takin' care of Grandma. 86% - kek. How many Pepsi cans are burried in your jobs?
Thanks for all of your interaction on RUclips. I've been banned from alot of social media where I built up thousands of followers(FB, Twitter), so this is nice for you to take the time to show interest, Patriot.
All he has to do is change his name to Mr. Millennial. What's the big deal?!?!?! kek
I really have to say that the mixer driver can aim well, here they already have trouble with a wheelbarrow, thanks for the video
You know you boys better GET YO GAME TIGHT when you go to backfilling at GRANDMAS HOUSE😂👍👍 and ITS A COME-A-LONG BOYS!!!! 💪 DONT MATTER REALLY, I STILL AIN’T EVER FOUND THE KEY TO START ONE!!🤷🏻♂️😉😂
No key. They’re pull start. 😉
You seen the way they poured concrete. I give their water management plan a 3 percent chance of it addressing any of your issues. Were I you, I would take a moment to contact the city’s inspectors... I got a friend that has houses next to where they built a huge park. All the water gets dumped into his backyard. Literally. Once it’s built, good luck getting anything changed.
Day 3 ..... Plans and no doughnuts and coffee?
Got to love grandma's timing ... right out of the gate cold coffee and hot mud and at the projects end the reading of the instructions. Looking forward to day 4...
Mike your grandkids will thank you for removing those concrete footers. However they will be scratching their heads. Saying how did this lamp post footer ever get in here. Lol God bless
Is the attachment on the hammer drill making it a concrete vibrator homemade? If so can we get a closer look or if there is a video direct me to it.
nows the time to look into the water management of that site.
Yup and they have
Grandma should have put a privacy fence in the sale contract.
You know that Fox Block would make a nice privacy fence once you pulled all the foam off.
Plus it would deflect all the water shed onto the street.
Grandma is going to have a pond at this point.
Lol yup and their is a fence in the contract see what happens
I think I would consider removing the globes. I also question how ya'll get anything finished. there is far too much frivolity and grab a**ery going on at any given moment. I think you all may be my twin brothers from different mothers. I enjoy your interaction but you need to go easy on Matt. He seems a little sensitive.
White blocks are like being in a microwave. We had a project that was over 5,000 sq. Ft. We poured a stem wall then poured the slab then stacked blocks all the way up including the gables. The slab gave us great anchoring for the braces, but it was a very hot July and having walls that were 11 feet to 26 feet tall was terrible inside those white blocks. Great review and points!
Yup
JCB Teleskid would work great for dumping that backfill.
It's really kinda a game changer. It's a great unit
I know that area too. We had mobile home where the DG is going up. Around 1981. Oooops am I showing my age?
Why not use Nudura’s One Series form to match up the exposed concrete above grade on the original house.
My pet peeve with any ICF and the headache of trying to have a maintenance free finish where the icf is above grade and below the first course of siding or brick.
Would take 3 weeks to get this was in stock right down the road
Nothing like working around something in the way for 2 days, then once you get by it they say well heck just take that out it’s right in the way!!!🤯😩🤬 but like you said you just put on ur smile and keep on keep’n on👊
Lol I know right
@@DirtPerfect hey man are you boys up north of Indianapolis??? I’m down in southern Indiana👍 I’m a dozer/excavator, skid steer, etc..... operator for,
DAVE O’MARA Contractors, out of North Vernon Indiana, we are union I’m in the 181 operating engineers union, been with them 6 years but i spent 25 years working for my dads excavation co., BROOKS & EARL CONST. same town he was in business 45 years till he retired sold it all. I now work for the old enemy😂😂😂 best of luck to you and your business you got the right attitude be polite👍 treat people like you want to be treated👍 and do good work no matter the cost👍 and leave the job site cleaner than you found it EVERYDAY💪😉 god bless man
Matt had to beat you there and strip it to hopefully gain a few more percentage points lol
Grandma is going to have more traffic noise next door for sure.
👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🙏🏻 Enjoyed!
Looking forward to seeing Part 4 for Grandma’s house 🏡.
after my dad got killed?
i'm afraid to ask
That was news to me too. Some sort of accident maybe?
ruclips.net/video/0pfq0yv-njs/видео.html I think he talks about it in this video
@@bradsmith7106 Thanks Brad. I almost wish I hadn't checked the video as it has left an image in my mind I wish was not there. You have to feel for Mike living so close to where his dad was killed. It's @38 minute mark.
Pepsi should sponsor your channel! The overview of the property brought some other videos into perspective. Nice job as always!
Thanks
The only thing Pepsico sponsors is anti-American rhetoric. Why anyone would support a company that goes political tells me they probably agree with that philosophy. Just ask em if they have a fancy degree too. Tells you a lot.
Did Gramma make Mr millenuial , capt some baking ???? lol cause we all know she spoils you lol
Mike, so you work for yourself and where are you stationed out of, I've been watching all your videos, enjoy watching them, going the best for you and your family.
Thanks and southern Indiana
Dollar general is in sackets Harbor now. The floor is a mess. I know why now. Thank You. MGBYAAIJNA 😎
Did I actually see a SHOVEL as in a manual shovel in your hands??? in 2 different clips no less!!! lol. Say it wasn't so! hahaha! I think that is the 1st time since you became RUclips famous that I have seen you with a shovel.
Michael i told you to make a pvc pipe insted of the wood glider much better result trust me i been doing concrete for 20 plus years 😉💪🇩🇰i
👍
Although I see you like the WOOD😁😁
Hello Mike.
maybe it's time for a mini-stick 😄😄.
then you can get a little further within the foundation with your mini-digger.
thanks for the video Mike.
I'm looking forward to the videos of the new truck.
Stay Safe and Healthy.
with kind regards Hollandduck from the Netherlands
The other "dollar stores" build parking lots and slabs the same way. One about 10 miles from me has a single pour for sidewalk and parking lot at least (maybe the store too), and now one of the front doors won't open, it hits the concrete. I think they just poured in right on the old farmland where they built it, with no base other than a few inches of sand. 🙄 I haven't been in there in a couple of years, but I'd be willing to bet they "fix" it by trimming the bottom of the aluminum door frame off, rather than busting out the concrete.
I saw your comment below that they don't make that drill vibrator attachment anymore, but could you share the brand/model?
Thanks also for the fox/nudura comparo. I've got no experience with fox, but I recently built my own home with nudura from footer to trusses. I love them
Was made by wind lock
@ 26:18 well... it’s not hard for Matt to beat you to a job site when you don’t show up until the sun is two hours up into the sky! 😂
I hope Grandma doesn't get any drainage runoff from that Dollar General parking lot. Our local Walmart also has a badly poured floor. It's not the least bit level. I'm surprised it hasn't caved in.
They built one here poured floor broke it up poured again built store lot still mud then dug mud out asphalt parking lot floor cracked . took all top soil away 2 years later still little grass.
Isn't that how it always goes? You spend 70% of the project working around some special obstacle just to have someone change their mind 😂😂 good video
Is that vibrating tool an attachment for a standard drill? Any other info on it would be appreciated.
Had for a long tone don’t think they make it any more
Your going to need to line that property line with Green giant arborvitae. It will block that whole building out from the house
The lady at the nursery told me that they are deer resistant. The deer at my house must not have gotten the message. They ate 20 4 foot tall trees in only 2 weeks time. 😡
and the trash that blows off of the parking lots from those places!!
@@TsunauticusIV deer resistant does mean deer proof
@@TsunauticusIV if they are hungry they will eat anything
@@barrowlandscapes7419 first of all... the deer here are NOT hungry. They are fed by me and all the neighbors too. Not just bland corn either. These deer eat better than most humans do. Second of all... I completely understand the idea of “resistance” vs “proof”. However, if a population of deer has all the roughage, vitamin and minerals(salts too), and sweets they want... why would they decide to freely pound down a “deer resistant” tree? These deer are happy and healthy. So..
Why label a product “deer resistant” when it seems some deer prefer them over sweet feed, shelled corn, fresh apples, nice alfalfa and orchard grass, and pretty much everything else they are given? That’s the problem. They seem to be “deer resistant” with some populations and not others. 😂
Wow wow wow about you guys take take a turn and black TP in the head
I think a new home for the lamp would be in front of a restaurant or park entrance.
Or the shop store.
So you can pick your nose and brush your teeth one handed. That is real skill. lol
I will say If you find yourself in the middle of nowhere. There's two things you will find a Dollar general and a McDonald's. And that's good because Dollar general has toilet paper and if you eat at McDonald's you're probably going to need it.
It is the same here with Nudura the supplier here is 4 hours away you have to pay for the shipping, the local building supply you can order fox block easier the shipping is already paid. Either way thou your not going to run to a store to get ICF forms without waiting a week to get them they are not an in stock item being 95% of the form work is standard plywood panels and snap ties. Nudura is making its presence on new builds I'm seeing the Nudura blue around the scraps are also in the waste stream I see it as I'm a bin truck operator.
Glad we jackhammered that old radio tower concrete out... dumps half yard of fresh concrete...
Mike you might need a new microphone as its crackling and breaking up once and awhile seems there maybe a loose wire in the wire and youre voice fades in and out at times you sound muffled
Sorry to hear about you dad. I didn’t know that.
Thanks
Have you used any vertical ICF systems? I have used TF System and for a novice found it to work very well. I would like to here your opinion on a vertical system. I used it on my house and a hog barn.
Once don’t know enough to have a good opinion
I got seasick looking at that $ general slab. 😫
I want the tv tower and lamppost, but southeast Texas to Indiana would be a long haul...
How do you know concrete is poured level, just because it is liquid?
If you are referring to his foundation, Those veridical bits of rebar ever few feet are set to finished grade. He then pours to the top of them and tamps/floats so you can just feel the top of them.
About the 18:00 mark when you were moving the lamp post. Of course it’s no heavy but not because it’s aluminum. It’s not heavy because it’s a light. 😜
Yupp. I’ll find my own way out.
#dadjoke
Lol 😆
I wonder what happened to your dad, sorry to hear that. I really like watching your videos God bless.
Thanks
Aaron where you are at now is GRANDMAS SHOP!!!!
While the excavator is there are you going to plant some bigger trees on the boundary and screen the Dollar General?
Grandma dont need to see that every day,
Dollar General is going to flood your grandmas house damn i see alot of drain pipe in your future but job looks good
Check out the HV clips for the fox blocks. They lock the rows together and hold the corners super tight. Works awesome when you need to "float" over a low spot in the footer.
Yup have used them before agree
Need to ask the wife about putting that in the livingroom. Right dead in the center of it
Whatever Mic you are using it is terrible. Otherwise great video.
Come to Blossom Texas then you can see a hold in park lot
was that camera with the crappy mike made in China. find a dumpster and toss it in. lol
It doesn’t look like you’re using the fox black clips that lock the blocks together vertically and horizontally you’re really missing out I’m not using them I’ve use fox block for years and wouldn’t use anything else we Pour walls 12 Feed high. The other day we poured 153 yards of concrete in the fox blocks I wouldn’t of done it with any other blocks. Alan Williams Carmel
Have used them but think you missing the point with Nudura you don’t need them i am a big fan of less parts
I really like how you guys are multiplayer, just get in and get the job done. From form to concrete to backfill and a bit of landscaping 👍👍👍
Thanks
At 31:14; What's that round thing you bumped into, I didn't see it before?
It sounds like the parking lot next door could fail (cracks)and the drainage of the lot could be an issue for Grandma's property.
Maybe it's time to get your concern in writing about Grandma's property (drainage)? ;-)
Will have to go look
Those guy are funny...they make your videos fun.
Is that a vibrating attachment for the drill driver Mike.
Thoughts on buildblock? I’m in Indianapolis and nudura’s pricing has increased more so than competitors. I see that buildblock is manufactured in Indiana, have you had any experience with it?
Short and simple build a block is the only block I will never use
No job is complete without the MBTS stood by your feet. 👍🏼
That’s right lol 😆
Are the Fox blocks more expensive than the Nudrura?
About the same
I still can't dance, but back in the day we used to use a jitterbug. I'm pretty sure my boss was just teaching me a life lesson. kek. It was around 1am when we finished hand-troweling that porch. Thanks, Michael.
I’m surprised they don’t have a storm water management plan!
You need them here in Canada to build a parking lot. A plan and then a permit.
Good video DP👍👍
Don't know the circumstances concerning your father but sorry to hear that. I hate to see pastures turned into Dollar General parking lots and housing subdivisions but as they say "that is progress". Still don't like it though.
Thanks
Hopefully the general will be cleaner than the one in my hometown
What's Mr millennials channel on RUclips?
Nya millennial
Thank you 👍🏴
36:55 Another option is to put a grading bucket backwards on the mini and have the skidsteer dump into it, and use the mini to reach out and place the gravel.
But then that's slightly more rube goldberg than having the skidsteer dump inside the stewall as it was and pushing with a wider grading bucket or the rock bucket that was already on the mini.
Or like Chris does sometimes, grabbing a mat or a log or a form board or whatever's handy with the thumb and grading/pushing with it.
I think you need to keep busting on Mr. Millennial or his ego will inflate to the point that he considers himself management just like MBTS. Once he gets to that level there’s no changing him as we’ve all seen.
You must have been successful with Captain Kleeman because he seems to know his place or has been humbled by other “incidents”.
Robbie just stays in the background doing the work so it seems that Mr. Millennial is your main “concern” that you could have any hope with. 😉
😂🤣😂🤣
And u busted out the tower foundation why..... u washed out in the crawl space.....
Just an observation... love a small businessman.... opps can’t say man anymore.... love a small business still chugging along! Looks like you guys can still have fun, along with all the misery that comes with it!👍
Question, why dont you become a distributor for the other Company? Would always have some on hand
Money and time
Yup,dollar generals are poppin up everywhere,to many if you ask me.
Yeah when you panned over to that parking lot?....river rapids? Was wondering where the water was going.... You might be digging a drainage ditch,or pond!
Are you sure that Dollar General isn't using fiberglass-reinforced concrete for the pad? It should be easy to see the glass strands close up. We poured a 6" pad, no rebar, and had no issues parking an 8 ton R.V. on it.
Why do your concrete suppliers always use the old fashioned pre-mix type rather than newer volumetric kind which mixes exactly what is needed. I'd have through will custom jobs like this they would be far more suitable.
you buried a access panel/vent for the chimney in the gravel. hope that's ok!
Yup
I agree that DG has a lot of hardscape run off headed your grandmas way
They didn't put rebar in to tie the footing to the stem wall. Also, what is the frost depth there? 6" ?? :)
Covered that very well in the other Icf video check them out
