You guys did a great job on getting it fixed in time. Can’t sit and cry about it. I praise your buddies for working so hard to help ya get it straightened out. Great to have buds like them 👍
Thanks for showing the pour Jonathan. As always you were right on top of any problem that could happen. Most guys would have panicked, not you, you were right on the repair. You are good.
"It's not what happens, it's how you react to it". Absolutely true. Stuff ALWAYS happens. Much admiration to you and your friends for handling the blowout so well.
Well done! Your reaction was right on point and you had a good team to handle the problem that came up. You also had enough cement mix in the truck to make up the loss!!!!
You are so much like my dad, " it's not what happens, it's how you react to it". He taught me it' only a problem if you make it one. In other words, it's life, deal with it. True American grit!
Lol my dad god bless him told me exactly the same think. There are those that can think and get things done in a panic and those that can’t. I would definitely want Johathan on my side in a panic. Great reaction time on the repair 😊
@@soisaidtogod4248 pretty much exactly what I thought and was going to say...lol.. Americans are the only ones who can fix things...like they " fix" their son a sandwich or "fix" their family dinner .... Only in America ! as the saying goes .lol
@The Flying Farmer It's also true what Robert Dampier said above. Pencil rod and whalers make it look easy. That and oiled form boards. I always over do the bracing, especially on a deep pour. Anything over a foot deep or a foot wide makes me nervous.
One of the things about this channel I really enjoy is you show it all, the good (which is pretty darned good) the bad, (which is the exception and not the rule) and the ugly (which is, “I don’t believe Jonathan did that). In reality it is all good Jonathan… really! Thanks for sharing.
Hi, Jonathan, a disaster only becomes a catastrophy when you let it, and you and your crew just jumped in and straightened out the mess and didn't allow it to become catastrophic, great save. Cool heads will prevail. That little Economy hit & miss engine looks and runs great, and if you listen close, you can hear it saying "thankyou thankyou thankyou" between each firing cycle. God Bless and stay safe.
For a man who overbuilds everything I was surprised to see you had a little blowout. But you reacted and recovered pretty quickly. Great job by your two helpers too! You and your boys worked hard as a team and made it all come together. Dang if that little hit-and-miss engine don't look and run pretty good too! All around good video. Thanks again for your time and effort. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Old Murphy can be a real pain in the tooshie (PG13) sometimes. Fantastic recovery though. All those years of towing cars has you pretty light on your feet and quick on the reactions. Nice job Jonathan and thanks to your friends. Terry from South Carolina
Morning Jonathan, you & your buddies did a awesome job, even when things got tough, ya'll hung in there & persevered!!! Again, GREAT JOB!!!! GOD BLESS!!!
You warned us it was gonna blow out, so i was watching. I must tell you, the team reacted so well you even had enough saved concrete to fill the form level after the repair. Boy what a show of how to recover from a failure. A great tribute to your whole life don't you think. You try to achieve and when you fail you don't quit or walk away, you overcome, workaround and recover. Great episode Jonathan truly worth showing the kids. How Grandpa fails and recovers, so you know you can too. Hey on that little engine would that have been used for a water pump for live stock or what. Are those expensive to buy and are parts available to get them running again. I would really like to have a old engine like that on a wood frame to play with. Maybe run a small generator for lights. That is a beautiful little engine. Dennis in Virginia
Would love to see more of the engines like the Economy at the end too. If you feel like showing them off! I have a Lister CS 3 1/2 diesel in my garage I want to get running once my health hopefully improves. Cheers from NZ
God has a way of testing us every day. You guys reacted and executed a fix plan immediately. Nice to see folks work together despite a near tragedy and remedy. I learned a lot watching you past few years. God bless Mr Winans👊🏼🙏
You done good. I'm a bit disappointed though that we missed a good opportunity to learn a few new cuss words. Great video as usual best wishes from an Australian fan.
I was sitting here rooting on the mixer driver when he's shoveling the last bit in his trough at the end.. I was chanting "Ihopethere'senoughconcrete, ihopethere'senoughconcrete, Ihopethere'senoughconcrete"!!!!!!
I do concrete for a living. It's unreal how much pressure is on something that deep. That's a bad feeling. We've actually had it happen before. Also love the little engine!
Hey man, if we knew in advance about events we would all be experts. You and your buddies saved the day and your experience has given your followers a good lesson. Many thanks for all. From Nr Liverpool UK.
I remember 100 years ago, I was working with a master carpenter and he told me:” It don’t matter what mistakes you make, it’s how well you cover them up” Thats always worked for me
Your monologue at the end as to what happened and how you respond to a unforeseen event is a piece of gold called advice for life, if every fifteen year old could hear your words, wow! Turned out nice. 👍
First time viewer, with zero construction knowledge. I have to say, if these guys are in your crew, then you're blessed. I watched nothing but years of experience working together so cohesively as an entire crew. Like all were parts of a fine tuned automobile, each with its purpose and function keeping that car racing. Wow. I'm gonna subscribe just because of what I've watched so far and it hasn't reached the 8 minute mark. I am certainly looking forward to more videos and content. Thanks and professional job team, super impressive.
In my more than 40 years on construction I have seen all manner of things go wrong. When they do you just have to find a way to fix and go on. As you said it wasn't that much of a problem you had enough concrete to fix it and it will be fine. No one got hurt, everyone jumped in and help fix it, what else can you do. I am just old enough to have never seen a hit and miss engine be used for anything except on a few oil well pumps. We moved to a house that had electricity when i was almost 3 and never lived anywhere that electricity wasn't available for power. I saw the first hit and miss engine that would have been used to power something in 1971 at a county fair. It is remarkable how many of them are still around, it is a testament to the people that built them that they are still around.
Like you said, "It's not what happens but how you react..." Y'all proved that! Looking forward to seeing the Unit crane lower that engine down on that slab, the flywheel in the groove!
WOW.. So disgusting the way the concrete blew out, but you thought quick and like you said it will be fine. Thank God you saved it. Job Well done Brother. I loved the Economy engine at the end. I love the Economy and Hercules engines. They were built at Evansville, In. about 30 miles from me. The older style was built at Sparta Michigan. I have been around these engines my entire life. I have collected them for over Fifty some years and have about 150 of them from many different companies in my personal collection. Like I said I love them dearly just as my Father did also. He ran a Grist mill with several large ones, and I spent many hours in the mill while growing up. I still have all his engines as well. I guess that is one reason I started my collection. Keep up the Great work and keep the videos coming, I look forward to each and every one.
Agreed. I didn't see anyone saying "Not my problem" or standing around with his finger up his nose or thumb up his butt. Good job repairing and reinforcing the failed form.
@@robertf3479 the guy in black seen it happen and turned his head away. Lol kept screeding. Until they guy yelled it didnt hold. Then he acted like he just seen it.
Well not everyone, but, the trick is the recovery. Do not lose your head, and, find a solution. That, is the real story. I love this channel, because Jonathan always finds a way to get to a solution of things. That, is the mark of true genius.
@@robertbutler8004 Actually Mr Butler i have seen manufactured basement wall forms turn loose and retaining walls bow out to where they looked like they were going to collapse. I have also seen concrete push out fill under forms. If you have never had a failure of a form than you have not poured much concrete or worked in poor weather conditions because of other trades needing to stay on schedule.. I could have been an asshole and criticized Johnathan's misfortune like you and a couple others. I chose the high road, maybe you should look at that strategy. Or better yet you and anyone else that has never had a pour go bad should make yourself available for the next form work. Either be constructive and supportive or be quiet. Better yet do a tutorial video and show everyone your perfect projects.
There's was not enough bracing on that form. I seen that as soon as the video started. I'm a concrete contractor and I brace things up. I've had enough blowouts and learned from each one. I always make sure everything I form up has enough kicker stakes. And yes keeping a cool head and being prepared for anything. Blowouts, hot concrete, not enough help anything. That's just the nature of the beast.
GREAT RESPONSE in a very unforseen disaster! All ended well however, and your two friends really had their stuff together...they did this before, I'll bet! And, your "little" Economy engine is a very, very nice item.
Sorry that you had that happen but glad you were able to get it fixed fast looks good Jonathan glad to see your invision coming true love the sound of the hit and miss engine
I was sorry to see the form fail, but your response was quick and effective. You had good help, too. You guys got the job done under some difficult circumstances. Loved watching.
I'm a builder, I remember pour a floor and footing inside of a brick build up. I walked out the back and something caught my eye, a crack in the brick on the corner. I looked along the wall and there was a 3 inch bow out in the back brick wall. After running around holding my head for 10 minutes thinking "HOLY SH**!!! I thought it out, we dug the concrete from behind the wall and it dropped back into place...shored her up perfect job...just like you said Jono, it's not the problem, it's how you fix it! The first few minutes can have you running around like a neurotic lunatic! I know the feeling mate!😉😂😂
Nice job, and as you say, it's not what happens, it's how you react to what happens. I had a wonderful teacher from Japan who told me that it was OK to be knocked down seven times as long as you get up eight times. Always carried that with me.

So, my leg being bitten off by a shark isn't a problem. If i just calmly remove my speedos and tie them around the bloody stump to stop the bleeding then there is no problem. I get ya.
@@TwoFingeredMamma Why would you feed your leg to a shark? And yes, staying calm in any situation, including being dismembered will always result in a better outcome. Less blood loss...
That mud looks loose. I was pouring a the base to a lift station 14'x14'x3ft thick and one of the panels blew out. We had to shovel almost 4 yds of mud back in the form. Good times !
been there - done that- didn't get the t-shirt- it sux out loud with nuts and cherries and whipped cream. just glad you had enough cement to make up for the uh-oh. you got some good help - kudos to the guys.
Lol good job on your form, I've never had that happen, because I build my forms right and not half assed, your bottom came out because you had no uprights and kickers on it, at least not enough.
That was actually pretty exciting. You guys scared me a little when you were in the pit. God forbid it had blown out with one of you in it. Good job and real nice save.
Glad you stuck with it when the shuttering failed. I was worried for your mate helping smooth the cement and in the ditch in case it failed on the opposite side. Looking forward to seeing the next episode
Awesome save on the concrete - in reading through some of these comments, some folks would've had a pour of their own in their pants when this happened...but it wouldn't have been concrete. "Those that can, do - those that can't are keyboard experts." Some Wise Guy.
Wow I love that little engine at the end, what a unique piece of machinery. And the concrete blowout, well it happens to everyone who’s ever poured concrete. Yeah Y’all snatch the tiger by the tail and got that thing fixed though quick. Man I wish I lived closer, me and the family would love to see Those old machines once you’re finished, the wife said all I want to see the cranes, Maybe she’s right. Great video sir, thanks for sharing it. Jimmy
Improvise and adapt. Great recovery! I too recovered from a near blowout while pouring a 3 yard shear wall footing to a 1952 home basement. The form began to rack outward. I quickly wedged the screed board up against an existing old 4×4 redwood support post. That existing support post itself was sitting on a crumbling exposed concrete footing (you know the look). Expecting the post to not shift was a scarier dilemma compared to the impending blowout. The footing dryed with a 7-8 degree outward tilt at the top only but it did not affect my anchors nor did this impede construction of the new shear wall. The form now looks like a yacht mural for a snobbish yachting club. Its not uncommon to see a well experienced concrete finishing crew displaying the ZZ Top look. 😇
You guys handled that like pros! My dad was a mason, and pouring was always a beehive of activity. You had some good helpers there. Also, it's rare to see a driver pitch in when pouring - good man there.
Before the video started, I was guessing where the failure was going to occur. I guessed completely wrong. The blowout looked like it happened at one of the strongest points. Nobody could have seen that coming. Great recovery, though.
Thanks fer postin DUde !! Enjoyed the cement makin & the hit & miss. Yer pa er ma shudda taught ya to shut the damned door !!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA WAVIN A HAND from central Ontario EH !!
Pro VS Amateur, in the middle of the job something bad happens, Amateur panics job is a disaster, Pro , major problem occurs in the middle of a job, stays totally cool taking issue in stride like it's part of the job, job results like nothing happened, you Jonathan are a PRO no matter where or what you are doing, one cool cat ! On top of your cool head you are a confidence inspiring leader, that recovery of the pour by you and your helpers should be a training video for would be management/foreman types, leaders are born not "made". Love that hit n' miss engine, you're a man of many talents JW !!
expert recovery, your friends are really good helpers and it seemed like the truck driver was patient. Down here in florida the concrete truck drivers are the worst, they try to rush and make it harder for everyone
Apolo: Huston we have a problem! Jonathan: it's not an issue. Jonathan can fix anything. Dude has a cool level head and gets the job done, that's what I enjoy about his content 👌 👍
There's a cautionary tale here...You either ignored or dismissed the results of Nana's cat scan which clearly showed the areas that might 'blow out'...Hopefully a lesson was learned this day..
No matter what anyone says, you're the man! Your friends are awesome also. You and your folks are the most determined that God has to offer, bless you all.
Shoot as fast as yall got the repair done was pretty awesome. I never seen anyone pour then set anchors into wet concrete but seems like it worked. Industrial electric was my trade.. so I've been involved with a lot of different type pours. Great repair tho!!!!
What great determination and good working relationship with everybody through the whole frustrations of the form blowing out good for you guys. Really pretty looking hit and miss motor there! All the best from Canada

Thanks for showing the pour Jonathan. As always you were right on top of any problem that could happen. Most guys would have panicked, not you, you were right on the repair. You are good.
Good recovery from a huge problem. It takes everyone working together to save a pour...and you all did exactly that. Thumbs Up!

They made the problem in the beginning when they formed the pad and didn't put in enough stakes and didn't put in any bracing.
Oh yeah, yanks are the only ones in the entire world that can react proper to sudden changes. Human would have been fine.
@@soisaidtogod4248 pretty much exactly what I thought and was going to say...lol.. Americans are the only ones who can fix things...like they " fix" their son a sandwich or "fix" their family dinner .... Only in America ! as the saying goes .lol
All that with one hammer. Great job guys. You know you got good friends when they show up for concrete work!
Man, that brought back bad memories. When you think you have enough bracing, double it.
Pencil rod and catheads will stop that blowout!
Amen
That's why I use construction screws.
@The Flying Farmer It's also true what Robert Dampier said above. Pencil rod and whalers make it look easy. That and oiled form boards. I always over do the bracing, especially on a deep pour. Anything over a foot deep or a foot wide makes me nervous.

Difference between a tradesman and a labourer is that a tradesman knows how to fix his mistakes. :)

It’s nothing a little drink of Brawndo “The Thirst Mutilator” won’t fix.
been there - done that- didn't get the t-shirt- it sux out loud with nuts and cherries and whipped cream. just glad you had enough cement to make up for the uh-oh. you got some good help - kudos to the guys.
Lol good job on your form, I've never had that happen, because I build my forms right and not half assed, your bottom came out because you had no uprights and kickers on it, at least not enough.
That was actually pretty exciting. You guys scared me a little when you were in the pit. God forbid it had blown out with one of you in it. Good job and real nice save.
Glad you stuck with it when the shuttering failed. I was worried for your mate helping smooth the cement and in the ditch in case it failed on the opposite side. Looking forward to seeing the next episode
Awesome save on the concrete - in reading through some of these comments, some folks would've had a pour of their own in their pants when this happened...but it wouldn't have been concrete.

Tough break, man:( Good recovery-time though. Always nice to have friends around because sometimes shit just goes sideways.
Good to the last drop. Undefeated and still champion. You de man.
It could have always been worse. Glad you got the job done and it looks good.
Glad to see you were quickly able to repair the blow out and complete the poor. GREAT job guys.
Well great job getting it put back together and poured. Good thing it was on the outside.
Wow I love that little engine at the end, what a unique piece of machinery. And the concrete blowout, well it happens to everyone who’s ever poured concrete. Yeah Y’all snatch the tiger by the tail and got that thing fixed though quick. Man I wish I lived closer, me and the family would love to see Those old machines once you’re finished, the wife said all I want to see the cranes, Maybe she’s right. Great video sir, thanks for sharing it. Jimmy
You persevered that’s the main thing , you are the man .👍
Improvise and adapt.
Great recovery!
I too recovered from a near blowout while pouring a 3 yard shear wall footing to a 1952 home basement. The form began to rack outward. I quickly wedged the screed board up against an existing old 4×4 redwood support post. That existing support post itself was sitting on a crumbling exposed concrete footing (you know the look). Expecting the post to not shift was a scarier dilemma compared to the impending blowout. The footing dryed with a 7-8 degree outward tilt at the top only but it did not affect my anchors nor did this impede construction of the new shear wall. The form now looks like a yacht mural for a snobbish yachting club.
Its not uncommon to see a well experienced concrete finishing crew displaying the ZZ Top look. 😇
You guys handled that like pros! My dad was a mason, and pouring was always a beehive of activity. You had some good helpers there. Also, it's rare to see a driver pitch in when pouring - good man there.
YOU AND YOUR CREW SLAB BUILDING SKILLS ARE DEFINITELY CONCRETE GREAT JOB
Best laid plans of mice and men. All that matters is what you do when the faecal matter hits the rotating air moving device!
Kudos to your friends that worked hard to complete this part of the project.
Before the video started, I was guessing where the failure was going to occur. I guessed completely wrong.
The blowout looked like it happened at one of the strongest points. Nobody could have seen that coming. Great recovery, though.
I was expecting on the side of the slab into the wheel pit. But, I was wrong!
Thanks fer postin DUde !! Enjoyed the cement makin & the hit & miss. Yer pa er ma shudda taught ya to shut the damned door !!!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
WAVIN A HAND from central Ontario EH !!
Pro VS Amateur, in the middle of the job something bad happens, Amateur panics job is a disaster, Pro , major problem occurs in the middle of a job, stays totally cool taking issue in stride like it's part of the job, job results like nothing happened, you Jonathan are a PRO no matter where or what you are doing, one cool cat ! On top of your cool head you are a confidence inspiring leader, that recovery of the pour by you and your helpers should be a training video for would be management/foreman types, leaders are born not "made".
Love that hit n' miss engine, you're a man of many talents JW !!
expert recovery, your friends are really good helpers and it seemed like the truck driver was patient. Down here in florida the concrete truck drivers are the worst, they try to rush and make it harder for everyone
Well one thing l have learned watching your Videos are you can and will fix what ever is wrong 👍
Made my night been waiting for this poor that concrete 😁😁
Apolo: Huston we have a problem! Jonathan: it's not an issue. Jonathan can fix anything. Dude has a cool level head and gets the job done, that's what I enjoy about his content 👌 👍
There's a cautionary tale here...You either ignored or dismissed the results of Nana's cat scan which clearly showed the areas that might 'blow out'...Hopefully a lesson was learned this day..
No matter what anyone says, you're the man! Your friends are awesome also. You and your folks are the most determined that God has to offer, bless you all.
Shoot as fast as yall got the repair done was pretty awesome.
I never seen anyone pour then set anchors into wet concrete but seems like it worked.
Industrial electric was my trade.. so I've been involved with a lot of different type pours.
Great repair tho!!!!
What great determination and good working relationship with everybody through the whole frustrations of the form blowing out good for you guys. Really pretty looking hit and miss motor there! All the best from Canada
Nice recovery Jonathan. Good job.
Cleats and kickers, you can never have too many. Lesson learned. Keep on trucking.
Your troubles make for a very entertaining video - expect your glad to be past the recovery. Thanks again.
Good job and those boys with you sure can work!
