whew that concrete really gives the shop a smooth look 🤩 12 months later and the progress is amazing, can't wait to see all the content you create in there!
man even youtube commenting over here. this shopfloor is really nice!
I can’t wait either!!
Hey @RUclips , how come there is nothing that seems to being done about the telegram scams that are posted by the thousands? It is difficult to keep up with removing them when they get posted hundreds at a time , anytime of the day and night. Seems like with all of these algorithms, that there has to be a way to stop this from happening?
@@DieselCreek Congratulations Matt! I have never seen youtube make a comment on any videos. From what I understand you are "trending" !! 👍💯 Freaking AWESOME! I know that your subscriber count has been on a steady increase for months. You have earned it Matt , everything is coming together for you including your dream shop! 🎉🎊🎉🎊
When RUclips comments on a video you know its worth checking out!
That massive shop and surface make for what I call a genuine 'Man Castle'! I could sit and stare at it for hours and then walk on it bare-foot in the middle of winter, all with a big, stupid grin on my face. That is a nice return on all the time, effort, and planning you have put into everything you do, Matt. Hats off to you, sir. I am sure you will use it as it was intended.
Great seing your shop coming together I've watched the whole project from ground prep to concrete the guys did a great job with the concrete and gutters thanks for bring us along looking forward to seeing you use it.
Seems that every company that has been out to work on the shop, first thing I noticed is all their equipment is clean and well maintained. And then to see the beautiful work they are all doing, too? Plus the work you have put in as well.... this channel is epic, I am so glad I found your channel back when you got the green Autocar. I think the first video was a few days old. It is nice to see how far things have come!
That gutter forming machine is genius!
Seriously, I was expecting to see a flatbed loaded down with preformed gutters. That machine probably saves them a ton of money on fuel and storage costs.
Same! Impressed the pants off my ass. Honestly didn’t think those things existed. I’m only used to prefab gutters
Impressive forming machine what a clever Idea to make to length on site and a roll off flat aluminium takes up such little space.
@@thJune The mobile forming has been around since the 1980s, I remember seeing ads for a local company for the service at that time. My paternal Grandmother had her old wooden gutters replaced with them around 1985.
I had seamless aluminium gutters like this put on my house a few months ago. Absolutely brilliant, so much better than sectional plastic crap!
Mat, its one of those cases of only those who know, will really know what it means to finally have a dry flat hard heated surface after a long wait - how special a day it is. Great to see it happen.
After years working on a cold concrete floors through winter, you will probably fall asleep turning wrench one day on that heated floor and think, why didn't I do this sooner. Only drawback is it's so toasty compared to before that you can nod off on a long day. I've been caught a few times. 😉
Having to drag small wheeled welders, trolleys etc over uneven rocky ground is a thing of the past, from now on it’s gliding effortlessly 👍🍻
Been working on a dirt floor in my shop for over 10 years……
It’s not just a concrete floor this is a milestone for you Matt. You saved your hard earned money for 10+ years and you should be proud of yourself for doing this. This is a game changer for you no more working on dirt for the majority of your projects and content for your channel.
Well done Matt and may you have a Blessed One Sir.
That radiant heat is nice too. I'd like to see a wood stove w/ internal boiler and circulatory pump to heat the liquid as a backup and a geo-thermal underground loop to cool the liquid for those hot summer days when you just want to lay on your nice cold (shiny) concrete slab to cool off...
Amen 🙏 great job
Your future shop is every guys dream. That is a fabulous job on the concrete! Slowly it is all coming together and you saved and worked to get it, congratulations!!
Wow! The gutter guys were impressive and made the ladders work for them! However, then the prep you put in before they laid down the concrete, impressive! They sure knew what they were doing on the floor... can't wait to see how it all looks when totally finished. By the way, I always hit the thumbs up button... cause it's aways fun to watch. Thanks!
you got some very good finishers there matt- and it will look awesome when done. that floor is FLAT - you and they done good - very good. no honeycomb on the edges - excellent work.
Matt - that was a great pour!!!!! Great concrete work is a tremendous amount of work and takes a great crew that knows what they're doing - you found a great one!! It looks fantastic, you will never be sorry to have that nice floor in the shop.
I haven't comment in a long time Matt, I want to thank you for what you do , so many people eat and take care of their families by going to work long and hard days, and for this day you have provided for them and that is the way it is supposed to be, dozens of people were employed on this pour that were never seen, yet seen or unseen each a valuable cog in a well tuned machine.
That’s why when they did the lockdown Shitt everything went to hell. You can’t take out part of the machine and expect it to work the same. It will take a long time before we get back to normal, as long as Joebama ByeDone doesn’t screw the pooch to badly
I can appreciate a good looking concert floor. All the concrete I have and continue to work on it makes one hell of a difference when it's done right.
Congrats, Matt. Pretty exciting day indeed! I remember the day we poured concrete in my pole barn like it was yesterday. It was raining cats and dogs that morning, but my concrete guys were working inside and paid no mind to the weather outside. The owner told me he had to keep a close eye on his finishing guy, because he'd keep going until he had a mirror finish if he didn't stop him. I wanted a little texture left because a bit of traction is a good thing when you come inside with snow on your boots or tires for that matter.
Too smooth of a finish can float too much cement to the surface. That cement has little strength and can spall off.
Hey Matt, was waiting to see this being done. Great to get the floor in before the bad weather hits.
There used to be an old saying when I was growing up decades ago that if somebody was really happy they weren't worth killin'! I think Matt qualifies here! That silly grin on his face says it all!
Howdyyawl from the land down under.Pouring concrete is always a magestic kind of exercise undertaking. Hats off to those that can put it down & make it look fantastic. Its all coming together. Patience is a virtue. Helps one to reflect on what we do & do it right😊
It's great to see you complete a project with almost no compromises - I look forward to seeing a machine project with no compromises from start to finish - good job
Wow they did a phenomenal job.. You've worked your butt off to get to this point Matt and I'm super happy for you.. Thanks for the great content!!
Really nice job! Tip for the caulking of the cuts, is tape down both sides of line and scrape with a putty knife. Congratulations on a great shop!
have had the same seamless gutter hanging here since 1986 and still perfect. Because it is coated aluminum, nothing will touch it, the right decision Matt.
As a backyard mechanic that has laid on the dirt for 30 years I can totally understand how excited you are to have a flat floor to work on that is heated . For example something as simple as using a floor jack to put under a vehicle is a dream on cement. And yes I now have a garage that I can do my repairs in and I still have a smile on my face after years of using the cement floor every time I have a repair to do, it just doesn't get any better than that. Congratulations!
Those concrete pumps are so cool. And hats off to the concrete contractors. That’s some top notch work right there! Always satisfying to watch people who know what they’re doing. Congrats Matt.
They didn't look like they knew what they were doing. I was in the union commercial building trades in the New York metro area so I worked with crews that knew what they were doing. The smallest pour I've ever been on was 3 times the size of this one. The largest over 10 times as much. I've seen old guinnies bull floating that were older than that whole crew put together. And they'd been doing it their whole lives. They'd be out there with a white wash brush blessing the concrete with some water. Probably was holy water they were using. You have to bring up the fat.
Thank GOD you have a warm place to work. Frozen fingers got you to this stage.❤❤❤your shop and videos.
I can only imagine how excited you must be to see this project come together so well, Matt. Once you get the doors on it's going to be night and day compared to the old setup. Congratulations and I hope all of us with dream shop aspirations can see them come to fruition.
Seeing the way that crew works together you pretty much know they're going to do a great job! I would work for them any day of the week!
That gutter forming machine is so cool. I love that kind of Rube Goldberg contraption :)
Those machines aren't anything new, they've been around forever.
YAY! Getting closer to moving in and being warm this winter!!
Incredible work! This is such a treat to watch artists performing so beautifully. Thank you for this video 😃😃😃
Awesome floor and awesome building. That radiant heat is going to be amazing - congratulations!
What a great cement job! Once it is closed in you will begin a new journey into Diesel Creek equipment and repairs. We can't wait.
Awesome shop! Concrete is definitely a gamechanger!
Hey, Matt. The floor came out absolutely beautifully! I am happy to see your shop is coming along perfectly.
Damn I can't imagine the cost, but I guess this looks bettery than making batches yourself and doing it in parts! Looking awesome, can't wait to see the finished shop and what Matt'll do in it!
been watching your dreams for a while now, I'm retired now, worked on my shop all my life, it never got that nice, enjoy it 24/7 365 My friend
Ok, not gunna lie, seeing those rain gutters being made out the back of the van was pretty cool.
That would be every man's shop would be happy with. I like the fact that the floor is sealed, it will be easy to clean up spills. The video answered the question I had about cutting the floor with the cement saw, very good video. I look forward to more shop work coming from Diesel Creek good going Matt.
Incredible worker’s 😮 happy for you hooked on your content and your always teaching us something new
I'm over the moon for you. You deserve this place. Best of luck from Ireland.
2 years ago we built my shop, it was a bit smaller 30x40 but i know exactly how you feel about the concrete !!!! after many years of working on a dirt or gravel floor outside in all kinds of weather now i have a heated 3 bay shop that i absolutely love !!!!
To prevent erosion at downspout outlets I suggest that you dig holes and place cobbles or river rocks in the holes. You sound like a kid on Christmas morning, Matt.
Been a construction inspector for 25 years. From this side of the computer screen, that crew did an awesome job on that slab. I can see why you are so giddy at the finished work.
No matter how many times I see it, I am amazed at how that Z-fold pump can get in and under almost any location. Sure beats having to move around a hose line.
Why no control joints
The bank must really love Matt. That's going to be an awesome shop by the time he's finished but then comes the payments....ouch! But worth every penny from the way he has it laid out. Many years ahead of being able to work in a comfortable environment year round.
@@oneplanetonespecies which video did you watch.......!?!?
You did a good job on making exspanding and contracting lines. Now just a shop vac. and wow. thank you.
Perfect! I knew the OSHA jingle was due! I cringed as he teetered on that step ladder - as I November 21 came off of a small 2 steps ladder and broke my ankle. Ugh! Matt, super proud of you. You’ve come a long way. Content is awesome, you are a natural presenter and your videos are awesome. Production is superb. I think the mixture of time lengths, topics etc make it worth watching even more. I suspect once you have heat in there the bride will make a few cameos in the near future. How’s the dogs?? All the best for the holidays and for 23!
I knew it was coming and I still giggled and then sang along. I work in the mining industry and I sing it every time I see someone doing something beyond questionable.
@@xkblxcripple Yes, exactly. We are civil contractors, water and sewer. I do the same thing. Lol. I should make it my ring tone. I think I will. All the best
Very nicely said. I totally agree with all you said. Onwards and Upwards !!
Here in Sweden they have banned ladders at construction sites. A majority of all work incidents was due to ladders being used, so now only scissor lifts or sky lifts are approved. Probably a good thing watching those gutter guys 😂
Dose anybody have a link to the video he was singing this jingle for the first time? I know it's when he was setting up his container shop but I for the life of me can not find it.
Congratulations Matt. The sense of satisfaction for a decade long dream has go to be amazing. Keep up the great content.
Living the dream... hot damn, I'm gonna follow your example and just do it! Good luck and hope to see some more restoration stuff!!
Teriffic achievement Matt, so incredibly excited for this project! You planned well, researched well and got the best experts in for the important jobs. Can't wait for some of the videos to come from here! Shout out to Laady Eva too for sharing the vision with you!!
Matt, I've put a concrete floor in my pole barn. I learned one thing. The first time it snows watch out when you walk on that slab from outdoors. It only takes a tiny bit of snow on your boots to make that slicker than anything you can think of! Having that shiny floor is great to work on but I think I would have ask for a roughened surface near the exterior doors.
Rugs?
Painted floors, same result. The company I worked for sold floor coatings. Mostly aircraft hangars and warehouses. The military required a grit surface. Those sealed floors are slick too. Water, oil, grease and condensation. Be careful what you put on them Matt.
I wonder if the heat from the radiant floor heat will be enough to not have it super slick
I poured a small slab and used a good shop broom to add a little texture
. Our fire station had a very smooth finish and like others have said watch out least amount of moisture and that's all it takes.
They make a product, there’s different names for it, like shark grip and others. You mix it into the clear curing and it’s hard to see but it creates a grip when you walk on it. They use it on stamped concrete, and that stuff can be like walking on ice if it’s exterior and the rain can get to it. Matt could always mix some up and spray around the entrance ways if it gets to be a problem.
Nice job on the floors guys!
That was awsome !!! I was glued to my TV for 35 minutes. Big thanks Matt!!
Matt, I know exactly how you feel about your new floor. I just had my 24’x30’ pole barn concrete floor installed two days ago and couldn’t be happier. Congratulations and look forward to all of your future videos.
Lookin' good, Matt. Awesome job on the new floor. Can't wait to see it all done. The door installation should be a great video! :)
I really like the fact that your so genuine and such a hard worker... Keep up the content!!
Pouring a concrete slab floor with a perfect polished finish ain't easy, this crew know what they're doing and work efficiently as a team, top job guys.
Gonna need some hefty diesel heaters for that big ol space.
I've poured a lot of concrete and I wasn't so impressed. With that boom I suppose they didn't really need to pour in any pattern. The machine was doing the work for them. But if they did it the regular way with pipe and flex hose they'd have had to been more methodical about their moves then. Every piece of flex weighs 300 pounds when it is full. And you're dragging it. You have to be real careful when you drag it too otherwise it'll split open. Then you have to dig the clamp out of the concrete, wash it off and reattach the hoses. Which is less fun than it sounds to do. You have to stick your hand in the hose and dig the concrete out of the hose. It sucks!
Floor looks great, the whole shop is gonna be awesome!
Looks great Matt, I think I’ve been excited as you have for this. Can’t wait for the content to start coming out of the workshop.
NOW it's starting to look like a shop!
Greetings from the UK
Shop looks great, Matt. Nice job 👍
I'm so happy for you Matt! I can't wait to see the finished product and all of the fun projects that will follow. You deserve it brother. You've worked very hard to get here and it's great to see things coming together for you.
Seamless, hidden hanger gutters are the only way to go!
Glad to see your dreams coming true. Can't wait to see you working on something in the new shop.
Really awesome of the concrete guys to let you record the entire process of the poring to the cutting 😮 wow at how clean and flat that floor is Superb work these guys do Matt 😮 30:10 @Diesel Creek
First time I ever watched a concrete pour start to finish and I've been in a bunch. It's a lot different when you watch it on a time-lapse as a viewer. You kept it interesting and informative. Great job!
Great to see the ongoing shed build, great video.
Done plenty of big pours, that Hudson sprayer with the air compressor is 100 times better than anything I've seen for blasting slabs with product 👌
Looks bloody amazing Matt.
The longer gutter run sections were crazy how long they were in one piece.
Concrete. You won't know yourself
Looking great Matt. A polished concrete floor is a dream to take care of. When worked in a warehouse used about a 4’ wide dust broom to take care of it Also used a sweeping compound on it to polish and keep dust down. Wow. Nice shop!!
That's an amazing shop floor. Well worth every penny.
Awesome progress! Happy for you!
Fantastic Matt!!! It’s wonderful to see your progress, I’m very happy for you 😊can’t wait to see the back walls and the porch area finished up..
Matt, You have done so much to that vacant chunk of land.
You now have a shop that has a beautiful floor saving your money sure has helped with a leg up.
And what I admire mot is that you have not been asking for money to help with the project.
My late Father always said you work your butt off to get what you want in life.
Love to have a meet an greet sometime myself I am a fan and so is my stepson.
God bless ya man stay safe stay busy.
Great progress on your dream shop! Congratulations on your concrete floor! Great stuff! 👍
Hi Matt, with all the trees around your shop you might want to install gutter guard to eliminate leaves in the gutter
So happy for you Matt you deserve it 👏
Bloody hell, that's a magnificent concrete floor. That crew are artisans.
It looks great Matt so glad for you been a long time coming been watching for a while ,can't wait to see what's coming
One concrete guy to the next, those fellas know how to layer down.
Here in Florida even the cream would be set by noon.
Wonderful Matt so happy for you always enjoy watching feels like family God bless
Looking good, Matt! It looks good and warm enough to sleep on that floor 😂
FLOOR ENVY! They did such a good job!
I must admit, I’ve never sat and waited so patiently to see concrete poured in my life and I’ve poured or pumped a lot of concrete back in the day.
Right but it's been worth the wait
Looks awesome. Those guys did a great job. 50 yard pour is not easy to stay ahead of.
They did a nice job on that floor! I did a lot of flat work until the back couldn’t take it anymore. Nice shine on that floor, be careful when it’s wet or has snow on it you’ll go for a ride. Did you put leaf guard on your gutters? It would probably be a good idea since it’s so wooded around there. Looking great Matt!
I was thinking that leaf guards would be a good idea, too.
No flip flops on that wet floor !
Great example of the heat that concrete generates when curing! As good as the time my materials science lecturer boiled an egg in cement.
I thoroughly enjoy watching all your videos, but the ones where something is being built or assembled are my favorite. The detail you include is very good, and I am a huge fan. I'm sporting my long sleeve red DC t-shirt today. The first part of the video with the gutters was fantastic. Each time I observe some activity that would be considered somewhat unsafe I literally laugh out loud as I think of your "OSHA Violations" tune. DC and Andrew Camarata are by far the best two YT channels. Thank you so much for bringing us (I mean me) along.
@DieselCreek1 I don't know what telegram is, and I'm not on any social media.
@@timooten5333 Hey bud , those telegram comments are from scammers. It is not from Matt.
@@richardthomas1743 Thought might be the case. I just recently learned how to watch these videos, so this on-line tech stuff is definitely not my thing. I thoroughly enjoy watching all the videos from Matt, so that's enough for me.
@@timooten5333 I am glad that you found Matt's Channel , welcome! I am just a moderator here. I try to keep check of the comments when I can and try to help remove the scammers and any really bad comments. Thank you!
I am usually not a big fan of how buildings in the US are constructed, but i love that gutter-making-machine thingy. We don't have those in europe, i think. At least i have never seen a one-piece gutter that long. Really good-looking shop you built there!
MasterMilo, a Dutch youtuber, had a new roof put on his shop and they used the same kind of forming machine to make his gutters, so they do exist over here. Probably just used only for industrial applications so you never see them.
We have them in the UK and Germany doing zinc gutters and industrial building coated end cappings
It is just a truck mounted roller with the jigs for the needed gutter shapes, there is no reason a company couldn't run one other than government regs denying it.
See Yorkshire Seamless Gutters in the UK. They did mine just like this. Couldn't be happier with the result!
We have them in Portugal.. most houses have this instead of plastic..
The floor looks deadly. Nice touch with your logo scribed into what was left over too!
Matt it looks so nice with the concrete floor, and those guys did a a very professional job. Soon you will be working on projects inside which will make things much better. When you put up the crane, that will be a crowning achievement. 😊
I'm so happy for you!
Its looking great.
Are you planning on closing the other end of the shop? Even temporarily?
I know during the build you talked about making it so that you can expand as needed, but I kinda feel like for the winter, it would be nice to be able to enclose the whole place.
Yes it’s getting framed in as soon as possible
He's planning on 2 full sized doors at the front and 1 at the back for drive-through, I'm guessing that framing it up is not gonna be fast, and it will have to wait for at least the concrete pad to be finished under the open end.
@@unclegreybeard3969 it can be done anytime now. Waiting on the builder
I like the idea of no gutters. Determine where the water falls. Pour a concrete trough in that spot to stop it from digging out the dirt. The advantage is you don't ever have to clean out the gutters.
I have those leaf stopping shields over my gutters. And my gutters are full of pine straw and can't be cleaned out unless I remove those shields which means tearing them out and repairing the resulting damage to the roof. I highly recommend against those leaf stoppers.
Have eagerly been waiting to see the floor poured Matt absolutely beautiful. Good things come to those who wait.
Absolutely beautiful! I got a similar sized building about 6 years ago except with 4 doors on one side rather than on the ends. I imagine that saved me the expense of employing a pump, but that is one cool machine!
Matt, I have a suggestion you should do, the down spouts for you workshop empty on the ground just feet away from you building footers, after a while the ground is going to get very very soft and your footers will tend to sink deeper, and deeper, you will start to see your building getting misshapen and twisting, so do as I had to do to my home, bury drainage pipes to the bank I see, so the water will drain down hill away from you footers, I had to do it to my home I inherited so much water over the years had softened the dirt under my carport, and the wall in my basement had been pushed in 2 inches of the cinder block, some time I'm going to have to have the car port floor jack hammered out and removed and the dirt pulled out and refill it with small stone down below grade, the drainage pipes now keep all the water away from the foundation! at least 20 feet away from the foundation, in another spot the ground got too soft and the fireplace bricks had separated one full seam that is about 10 feet of separation!
Matt, that you must do or in the long run you'll pay dearly for not listening to my advice!!
When it comes to quality service, finish, and satisfaction in building your empire (Be it a garage) it just adds to the feel-good factor and ease in carrying out the work you love. Awesome man great set-up 👍 👌
there is no stopping you know matt. Good luck with the rest of it buddy.
Really like the new shop Matt doing a great job.
The gutters looked great and that heated concrete floor will be very nice to work on when it is cold and they did a great job on the floor as that was a large pour. Your dream shop is coming together and you will really enjoy having it to work in.
Congratulations Matt, you've worked your ass off for this.
Wished it was mine, I'm going to want 2 lifts, and a wood working shop combined! you lucky dog!
Father Christmas has come early to you. Richly deserved present for all your hard work.
Imagine that first oil stain on that new floor. 😅
Epoxy is the best way to go to keep all oils from soaking in. My garage has it on for 10 years. No penetration of any oils or chemicals. Hydrolic oils won't even penatrate it. GREAT for workshops.
Well Matt we can see the excitement in your smile congratulations Man we’ll done 👋👍🇨🇦
Looking beautiful, Matt. Late 69 to early 70 after college graduation and after I got drafted before active duty I worked at a big industrial construction site for a testing outfit. Observed and tested several thousand cu yards of concrete. Fascinating watching concrete pumps at work and the finishers working their craft. Mesmerizing, especially when you have a job to do and you'd rather watch the craftsmen doing their thing! Great progress!
