Boy I’d be pissed if I was the neighbors on either side. All they’ll see is the house. No view of the lake. Tough site. As usual you guys do great work!
They all bought a lot with a back view, not a panoramic view. They all have a view off the end of their property. If they wanted the panoramic view they should have pooled their money and bought the lot themselves.
Man, what a disaster! All that concrete just for a crawl space floor, OUCH! Nothing better than coming in on the last guys mess and cleaning it up, but that is why they wanted you to do it so bad. They knew you could pull them out of it! Great Vid, Thanks!
Dang I used to fish up in that area for many many years could not believe the density of the houses on the lake! And why people would want to be on top of each other like that!! Good job as usual Bondo! Oh yeah architards!! Love from southwest Co
I took my first fishing trip on Lake Ontario with a charter out of Sandy Pond. Fish Wish Charters, his wife had a taxidermy business in Port Ontario. That was in 1985. Good job Bondo, you will sleep well tonight. lol
Long battle, well done! I get shoulder replacement surgery a week from today, I guess 40 years of concrete is starting to catch up. Hope you've healed up and are back at it, I'm going one more season, been one hell of a ride!
Wow ! I bet there were a lot of hurt feelings surrounding that job …? Neighbors losing their view, homeowners paying out the nose for concrete waste, contractors flaking on the homeowners….man, what a disaster. At least I sure hope that was a hefty pay day for you Bondo! 💪🏼 So much could have been done differently. Seems like the engineer was even a flake…..jeez. It’s just money though, right? Can’t take it with you
Man, that is so close to the line, i am over here in MASS and I believe we have a 6 ft from boundary rules on buildings…i guess in NY they are a little more relaxed about this…Job looks awesome! Great video and detail of what you were doing. Keep em up.
I bet this is going to be an awesome floorplan with beautiful views. The neighbors have got to be agg, I'd love to see the build hopefully with no drama.
That was a big pour it came out nice and man did u have a lot of road blocks with it being so close to everything but ya got a great crew and that make the whole job go a lot easyer when everyone knows what needs to be done again nice job
Oh man talk about extreme pressure on you and your guys I’ve done a fair bit of concrete work but obviously nothing like what your doing lol, it was quite a great accomplished job site and I’m impressed great job gentleman. Alberta Canada. Thumbs up 👍
First truck was the optional tree trim truck! LOL 😂 We used to call that lube stuff snot! LOL 😝 Gee, a mason having shoulder surgery? Nah! Got 1 reverse replacement, working on the other side soon, and a hip replacement, already done, just things you have to look forward to with that profession . 😢😊👍
Vitale was the 'crete company when the masons were pouring my cores. The furthest end roller bearings on the conveyor froze and ripped the whole conveyor out halfway into the pour. Masons had to switch to pouring from a chute trucks. Fortunately, the trucks were able to drive all around the walls.
Line of sight issues. Most places in the northeast would never allow an owner to destroy the current set back from the lake and the other homes. Must have been a 'special' case. Like how much money will it take to get a permit to do this?
On our big commercial work we generally have a 3”+ or minus mud slab to work off . There’s so much plumbing and electrical that needs installed within the slab so you can’t fasten unistrut to the dirt .
I used to be on a line pump in downtown Seattle. I absolutely hated that job but me and like 20 other guys won a class action law suit against them. We used to work 16-18 hour days because we were so busy we wouldn't have any lunches or anything. sometime 6 to 7 days a week 16-18 hour days it was insane. This was when Amazon was expanding like crazy and we had more cranes in Seattle than LA! It was a crazy time.
Nice job Bondo. I know nothing about pouring concrete. Can you explain what's the purpose of the saw cuts. Does this eliminate the need for expansion joints?
What is your mix ratio for your stucco? I really enjoy your content, sir. Guessing this home was on a city sewer? Really close quarters. The first time I ever saw a poured crawl space was here in NC. The owner/contractor was originally from New York and had moved down to Carolina to be near to his family. The subs loved having a concrete pad to work from 😃
Yes Sir, I just watched this video and I really enjoyed it. I’m an old concrete guy myself. But I heard you say that the owners paid $16k for 98 sq Yrds, so is that the price concrete is going for in your area? Anyway, I’ll be catching up on your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Just wondering why they did such a generic finish on the porch why not use stamped concrete with some design and add color they spent that much money already but still a very awesome job guys 👍
what a waste of concrete, time and labor. that first "contractor" should have been sued. i think he was trying to take these people for a ride.im sure bono could have done this with half the concrete and done a better job. not fun trying to takes someone elses lemons and make lemonade. we concrete guys just cant say away even when we should. i fractured my radius in my right arm and i was back the next day using my left for everything. it sucked but now i can finish equally well with either hand. job looks great!!
The monstrosity that is being built there between the other homes. It’s no wonder that the neighbors are pissy. Their views have been hampered of the lake !
Well you know what they saying , then buy it all. People buy lots , then some one else buys lots in front, people get mad well buy the lot in front then . Everyone has a dream property.
Lemme get this straight- they excavate, fill, pour a finished slab, build CMU walls, fill it with rocks, pour another slab on top of it, and add wood on top of that to make a porch? Why is this not either piers or a ditch footing? Seems incredfibly wasteful in terms of materials and labor to build a breakwater for a pond. What am I missing?
I explain this in the video how we ended up doing it this way. Was not my plan. There was no wood used on top of the porch floors. The concrete was the finished floor.
I'm seriously confused as to why this was built 4' out of the ground to the floor, and why is wasn't just built on the slab like ALL the houses surrounding it?
such a sad situation for the homeowner, just throwing money away. I absolutely understand getting the finished floor height up to improve the view, but they could've likely saved tens of thousands had they brought Bondo in earlier. Stem wall, fill in lieu of slab, ugh.
Yeah no matter what we do as builders it will all be gone someday.... Nothing we do is in the "never" category. Hell even the great pyramids are falling apart. ;) But I get what you're saying!
I worked with a cement finisher in Phoenix and I NEVER saw him underestimate mud. Pretty simple math really, getting off by 1/2 yard or more is one thing, you missed the 98 yard mark by 20 yards!😊
I remember watching similar, somewhere in Europe. They had flooding tides and such. So the foundation was a water proof concrete box, minus the top for the house to be built upon. The whole construction could float around in it's hole. This reminded me of that, this seems to be a raft variant.
There is no such thing as over building.your crew did an amazing job. The crawl space is tall enough for storage and who cares about the thickness of the concrete the home owner was in a bind and he may have paid more but he got the job done.
Bondo Built: Would be interesting to sometime hear your view on Insulated Steel Panels. You are one of the few prominent YT who could understand these things. Prices are very moderate as far as I can see, and the performance looks spectacular. Panelsell CA has the specifications and prices!
@@kenbeiser4443 That's not obvious. At least you also need some roof and cladding and a rain screen? And inside wall need at least some paint. You also can get fireproof Insulated Steel Panels with Rockwool. That's no minor detail for many. The roof, the external and internal surfaces are ready to go as soon as the ISP is up.,
I was thinking...those steel pins should have safety caps on. Next minute...someone nearly falls on top of one. A safety cap saved me the other day.
Close call yes you are correct.
WOW! That was one EXPENSIVE pour. It is good the concrete plant was willing to supply you in a timely fashion.
Yes they are great to work with. 😀
Boy I’d be pissed if I was the neighbors on either side. All they’ll see is the house. No view of the lake.
Tough site. As usual you guys do great work!

I was just coming to say the same thing..my my.....
Neighbors should have bought the property.
Wow! Amazing overkill by homeowner on that pour but love the quality work you guys do.
Thank you
Cheers for the cool video, enjoyed watching. Slab and block work looked beautiful when all said and done. Proper job 👌
Thanks Steve 😀
Wow labor intensive!
Very close proximity to the one neighbor.

Exactly, a very expensive porch !
Built to last for sure.
@@BillyLapTop IKR !
The dude has a lake in his backyard, he’s not to worried about the price of the concrete
@@JLD5500 It is a nice view
I did this work my whole life , brings back so many memories, Good job ,Big Paddy 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Beautiful craftsmanship and end result. Fantastic video.
You guys work hard and your work looks fantastic.
This guy has made an enemy of his neighbors for the rest of all their natural-born lives. Why did he build such a monstrosity on that little lot?
Yep my thoughts exactly
Because he can. He had to get a permit to do it.
Who drew up the plans. There are set regulations on all of this.
Who cares what the neighbors think..fk em
If it met building codes its nobody's business.
Thanks for showing us the process. Nice job!
No problem glad you liked it.
The last guy to deliver is always called "tail end Charlie"...that's the law!
I like it. LOL
You do some real nice work enjoy watching true craftsmanship.
Dang I used to fish up in that area for many many years could not believe the density of the houses on the lake! And why people would want to be on top of each other like that!! Good job as usual Bondo! Oh yeah architards!! Love from southwest Co
Yes the houses are on top of each other. Thanks for the comment John.
Can't count the beach / ocean side communities where houses right up against each other.
Good video on what's wrong with people
I took my first fishing trip on Lake Ontario with a charter out of Sandy Pond.

Awesome job, by the team👍🏿
Neighborhood loves there new neighbors
Great looking work.
Looking good. It is going to be a nice road. Have a great weekend
Nice job. If I was the owner, I would have requested storage under the porch for yard equipment and an access door.
Great job as usual . I did driveway pavers just to make money one summer 30' x 200' long with no helpers . The plate compactor took a toll im sure lol
That was a big pour it came out nice and man did u have a lot of road blocks with it being so close to everything but ya got a great crew and that make the whole job go a lot easyer when everyone knows what needs to be done again nice job
Thanks Gary. Once the concrete pad was in it was not a bad job but that was the main thing I was worried about with this project.
Nice , you guys are the best.
Thanks 😀
Great job guys !!!!!!
Thanks Joe

Wow....Big Job there Bondo. Looked just great when you got it done!
Thanks for watching and the comment. 😀
That house is going to be an absolute eyesore for the neighborhood.
Neighborly love, nice work 👍
Yup. Thanks Andy. 👊
Looking good... Great job. Thanks for sharing. What happens to the moisture under the porches? Is there a drain for that?
VERY instructional vid! Thanks!
That house is going to 'tower' over the neighbors house.
It does LOL
looks like this house is way to big for the size of the land.

Super awesome to watch. What connects the block wall to the bottom slab? Just drilled rebar ?
Had they got you from the start, I bet this would have gone A LOT smoother. 👍🏻
I hope to see more of this build
Sounds to me the lady's wear the pants in the neighborhood 🤣🤣 Man what a waste of concrete lol 😂👍👊
I think she wished they waited for me but thats playing Monday morning quarterback.
One word to the neighbors. Approved take it up with the city.
don't you just love people like that moving into your neighborhood with their pile of money? most americans just want to be left alone.

Nice job Bondo. I know nothing about pouring concrete. Can you explain what's the purpose of the saw cuts. Does this eliminate the need for expansion joints?
It gives the concrete a place to crack. Kinda guides it per say. Same as a expansion joint would.
Just curious,why do U use a pump on the easier ones ,and the conveyor truck on the awkward ones ,love your work.
I like that your doing cuts. Why do they not put control joints in most foundations?
What is your mix ratio for your stucco? I really enjoy your content, sir. Guessing this home was on a city sewer? Really close quarters.

Great way to waste 50 yards of concrete!
Can't believe your comments on design. But one thing for sure, maybe two. Solid as hell. And they helped the economy. 😅
I knew an engineer that figured out that 24" foam for a shopping center in Ontario. It's now code approved
Wow this home will tower over the other homes.
It sure does.
Looks like he will not get along with his neighbors
just joined you guys do a great job
Thanks buddy.
Good job

Well you know what they saying , then buy it all. People buy lots , then some one else buys lots in front, people get mad well buy the lot in front then . Everyone has a dream property.
Lots of wasted concrete with those porches done like this
Who sits out on their back porch all day long looking at a lake. 😅😅😅
That building will have a great view, however some neighbors lost their view of the lake. I wouldn't be happy.
New, what is the name that concrete at those porches facing the lake? Help me understand this. Why would they put concrete underneath dirt. Flooding?
Lemme get this straight- they excavate, fill, pour a finished slab, build CMU walls, fill it with rocks, pour another slab on top of it, and add wood on top of that to make a porch?
