You should have used left over Hipoints instead of rebar.
Never thought of it but great idea
Structurally, that's a good move. But you could never tell your friends...
That was welded wire comes in grids or rolls for concrete floors, it was not rebar.
No I am the real dirty dan
I think it would look cool and disgusting at the same time. Imagine a concrete countertop that makes it look like there’s a gun on top. Throw some custom 1911s in there, one hell of a sacrifice
The caulk around the sink won’t matter as the sink has an overlap and you won’t see the edges of the “sink hole”.
Scott Grant thats only if they use a drop in sink
Gustard Jackson which they are as they used one as a template for the form
Correct
Thank you! I was wondering about all the fuss over smooth edges. I would think he would be more concerned about the smoothness of the whole top surface. (which is at the bottom right now)
Matt if it’s ruff or has holes you can make a pure cement slurry to smooth and patch counter top.

Is a 3 inch concrete slab bulletproof ???🙌🏽
If it looks like crap we'll find out!
Quick answer. Hell no
@@DumpsterFyre38 Now I'm hoping it'l look like crap
What caliber we talkin. 50BMG? Fuck no. Or are we talkin 2mm? cause 3 inches of concrete will stop that all day long.
William Winder 2mm? Tf is that
Some of the best times of my life were when my late husband and I would do a project together. There were always little fights and disagreements, but it was always fun. You and Mere are adorbs together. Hope the concrete works out for you. Blessed be Carriker's.

Late husband ?

@@BoomerKeith1 Yes, I am. Will be 6 years in July. We had 30 wonderful years together. We were quite blessed. We basically rebuilt our place, roof, foundation, heating, windows, paint, wall board..we did it all. Only way we could afford to fix it up. Blood, sweat, tears and tons of laughs! 💖
Next time on Demolition ranch "Will a concrete counter top stop a 50 BMG?" :D
Haha lol
Don't tell Mere
No it won't in case you are wondering. The concrete will be obliterated because it's not very compressible nor impact resistant.
@@generalreticent3791 Yeah we know, but we want to see it obviously.. for science :D
@@FinishPlayer i agree
If your voice doesn't change when talking to your dog, are you even a dog owner?
When you caulked around the metal form, I figured it wouldn't show because you were going to set the sink into place. Also, if you take a random orbital sander (no paper attached) and run it around the outside of the form, should settle the concrete evenly on the melamine and give you a smoother surface. The ROS is essentially the small scale of your slab shaker.
i think he caulked it more so the concrete wouldnt seep through
Lets be honest. Im sure Mere has a plugin "vibrating device" of some sort that would do the job. Hitachi makes them.
its easy to go through melamine surface while sanding though. use a test piece to figure it out first
@@damagecase13 it doesn't make a difference. That whole area will be covered by the sink flange. Didn't you read the post you replied to?
10:20 is when Mat looses the argument, Mere's power stance says it all
Pro tip
When bending metal like that use angled iron to "extend" the vice. It makes it go faster
I've got concrete counters in my house using the same method. My brother's house also.
Edit, I'm not done watching, but those are gonna be bowed like mad. You really need to make the bottom stiff (supported) and straight.
After opening them up polish them up to about 1200 grit wet. Then wax with some beeswax or something. We've used turtle wax, too, but beeswax works good. Then you'll have to keep waxing occasionally.
Or just seal it with expoxy and be done with it. Work smarter not harder.
If the sink were longer, I'd agree about the bowing. Given the short length, they shouldn't bow. Anything past 4 feet should be laid flat to cure.
Annie's face. Priceless. Lmao
I like that Mere the engineer does the measuring and laying out and Matt the veterinarian does the cutting. It makes sense lol.
Matt: Mere, your shoes are not osha approved..
Mere (in her head): is demolition ranch really talking to me about ohsa approved? 🤯🤯 lol
I mean he's not wearing steel toed boots or a hard hat so not much better.
Matt is the embodiment of "fun first, safety second."
First thing i thought of after that comment was when matt was working on the new range with a chainsaw with no safety gear well he did have some glasses to protect his eyes
Jonathan Gulick Hard hats aren’t required in a finished structure
Fresh cut melamine can be razor sharp. Dropping a piece on a toe could do a lot of damage *shivers*
How's Jackie? Haven't heard from her in awhile. Give her my love.
Disassemble the forms to get the slabs out. Don't try turning them over.
I have cement countertops in my kitchen. My mix had rocks/pebbles in it plus colored glass in it. So they polished the top & it has these beautiful rocks& glass showing.
Matt: I'm never doing handy stuff again...
As he's building a mansion
And fixing a burnout car, an old classic Corvette and a bronco and all the other stuff
Matt really had to fight the urge to not make caulk jokes. Mere could not keep a straight face.
That's not handyman stuff.... fixing toilets, doing a diy project with your wife...is. lol

@@edbenson98 probably Close, but both of them are smart they likely won't be in debt that long with the current building projects if at all.
Should have made the sides to the 3" spec so you can run a float over it and it would all be uniform. But hey looks like yall had alot of fun.
I love how Mere just stands with her hands on her hips all the time like she’s in charge
She is....😂
She is his wife if she isn't happy no one is
She is! 🤷♀️
Lol because she is in charge lol 💪🏽

Relationship goals at it's finest
I love both demo ranch and vet ranch, you have such a happy and thrilling attitude happy to help everyone, if I could donate or buy merch right now I definitely would! Can’t wait to see how everything goes
New demo ranch video, will failed concrete counter tops stop a 50 cal.
Great job .. 2 things I can think of from mr inexperience.. 1)cutting holes is easy, even in concrete that thin. And 2) a square is easier than a 7 sided shape.
New vid on demoranch comming soon, «Is a concrete sink bulletproof?»
Vegard Lauvdal nice bro
One of the coolest cement counter top jobs I've seen used tops cut off of bottles (from a bottle wall project. ... Yes, they were hippies.) placed to hold rebar. Result, little green glass rings peeking through the cement with black and white colored sand.
God Matt is such a lucky man to have a woman like Meredith
She's so gorgeous!
JFK**007v up k v 0k+vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
She mostly definitely is the brains of that relationship. She keeps Matt grounded. Good mom and wife is the best thing in life.
Matt knows how to lay down some caulk lol. Everyone talking about the sinking feeling pun but nobody noticed the caulk joke lol
The whole didn't have to be smooth, cause it's covered by the sink
bouta say the same thing
Don't tell Mere?
jpiz224 yea but i think the concrete would of gone through the little holes like what would happen if a cup had a hole at the bottom the
Exactly.
Kevin Gutierrez we are talking about the Caulk along the sink. Not the rebar.
If you put angle iron in the vice then it increases the surface area that you can bend across so you can get more accurate bends without using a proper bender. Love the videos
‘I’m done doing any handy stuff ever’ - He says with a half built mansion 👀
Thank you Matt and Meredith!👍👍😷
Every time I see an "Off The Ranch" Notification Pop up on my Phone, I smile! :)
I have those Snappy countersinks and they are great. That’s awesome that they’re in the Demolitia
“I just like wrinkly faces and little wiggle butts” yes
Thats a boxer for yah
i read this comment as he said it
I saw that smile and pause when you said "now its time to lay down some caulk... I know what you were thinking .... Lol
you ever notice that link sticks his tongue out just like matt?
Quick tip for some smooth caulking, use which ever size popsicle stick to spread it out when you first lay it, just angle to stick on a 45 between the sides and pull it along like how you did the caulking
I just have a “sinking” feeling that this project... I see what you did there Matt.
“I like wrinkly faces and wiggly butts”
Don’t tell Mere...
lmao!
She has such nice legs. 😍🥵
So he has an old people fetish?
1 outta 2 ain't bad
From close to the end of of this episode he was talking a bought the dogs
“I just have a SINKing feeling this might be one of those projects...” no pun intended
Yeah. Wondered why they hoised it
I can't believe he didn't notice the pun he made. I know I groaned.
Do a burnout with the Corvette across the top and then clear coat over it. Also they have tools to smooth out cement and bringing all the bubbles to the top will make it more rocky at the bottom so it might be bumpy when you go and flip it over.
Tap the outside of the forms with a hammer while it’s still wet, and you’ll get perfectly smooth sides.
3:47 Bro, everyone should use that bit for projects like that. Its not over kill.
8:09 That mannequin head in the background freaked me out for a sec.
You dont need to do anything around the metal the sink will.cover it.. just saying your both right. but she was right with the rebar you messed up.haha love you guys I'm redoing my bathroom right now because I'm doing one thing today to make me a better person tomorrow. Thanks for the inspiration.i was lazy just sitting around with a million projects looming over my head. Now I'm knocking them out one at a time and I thank you and the family for that. Thank you sir.
You’re my favorite RUclipsr by a landslide
Matt,
If you have to remake these or make more of these counter tops, then you should use a bladeless sawzall up against the form and vibrate the air bubbles out that way. This will ensure a good even vibration all around. Also you should have troweled the concrete as well, because even if that is the bottom it also needs to be smooth to place on the cabinet top.
2:06 meanwhile me and my friends work with tools, rocket fuel, etc in flip flops.
You guys can do anything you put your minds to. Proud of you!!!
Bless your hearts, y’all really should have watched more videos about doing concrete countertops before starting. Level work surface. Reinforcing fiber. Vibrating out bubbles and mold release on the melamine. That’s going to demolition ranch for sure.
Exactly what I was thinking. Also, foam inserts to decrease the weight.
Yeah I am looking forward to seeing a 50 cal smack that counter top!
I think I've seen using a palm sander on the outside of the mold to vibrate out the bubbles. Would that work?
@@hoguemr
Too much vibe and the rock will all go to the bottom. Which is the top.
Yes. I’ve seen that and oscillating saws. Mine had plenty of little bubbles that burst when I sanded. It took me a couple of evenings to get them all filled. Looks cool. Lots of finish work
The edge of a 1/4 sheet palm sander works as a concrete vibrator , just run the edge of the sander around all the forms to get the mud even and eliminate air bubbles.
When quarantine is over and your girl finally comes over 8:09
Demolitia for LIFE..... You guys are the best.
Love y’all keep it up
Hi Matt, To increase the strength of the concrete keep it moist, every morning for the next few days get some water on the crete.. it will almost double the strength. your welcome
4:40 never heard “sinkhole” used that way
Holy crap them drill bit, or drill bit chucks are freaking amazing
Matt: doing a slightly new thing
Matt: LETS MAKE IT A CHANNEL
I saw a blob of caulk when you first sealed the metal piece and I freaked out, because it would leave a mark!!
If you have a palm sander, it vibrates enough to, do the same thing as a concrete vibrater. God bless amen..
I use a Sawzall without a blade, works great too.
@@msack6904 Yep, I've done the same and it worked great.
Nice tip, Thanks, never thought of that, it actually helps me out alot
@@msack6904 exactly what I was going to suggest. I love discovering new things a recip saw can do. My newest thing is a product from Spyder that turns the saw into a paint scraper
@@mikedrop4421 Welp, guess I'll be buying that paint scraper attachment now! LOL I always like finding new uses for tools.
This is why y’all deserve everything that’s going good for you guys ^.^ hard work!
Mere, you have the best laugh. Makes me smile everytime I here you.
@kebab REMOVER no hes respecting wahmen
People are saying simp at everything these days and ruining its meaning as usual
Your a very blessed family the model of great people completely awesome
The vibrator is actually to get the mud to the outside walls to have a smoother finish, less work in the long run.
Over with plastic to slow the cure so it won’t crack and over dry too fast. We did our kitchen counters and used a palm sander on the sides of the forms to get the bubbles out
Cover
I was hoping today was going to be an abandoned mansion video!
Matt I used to do commercial concrete before the Army long ago. Also that's called a vibrator. Also you'll likely get little air pockets but could probably fill them in after removing it all from the form.. remember even if it looks bad you can paint it.
Mere: Matt you need constant supervision.
Matt: Yes Dear.
Most of Matt’s activities are not osha approved 😂
#don’ttellmere
I spend every day at work building molds to make refractory blocks... come home and basically watch Matt and Mere trying their hardest to do my job, it's equally funny and frustrating at the same time. I'll admit, pretty decent for first timers though and for not having the right tools for the job haha.
Lol I was just editing a DIY video. Then that notification came though...DROP EVERYTHING AND RUN LOL 😂
Cool
Miss you being a veterinarian and Vet Ranch videos!! Noticed Kenny on the screen before you mentioned him. That album is awesome. I still want that NSR hat!!
mere doing concrete in a white shirt..... LOL. C'mon Mere.
Don't tell Mere.
I didnt see her mess with any concrete wearing a white shirt...I see a pink shirt when she starts pouring concrete. I dont know what you saw.
My daughter made concrete counters and stair rails. I think cracking in half first time is learning curve. I hoping it turns out well for you both. Or else try again. So kool in the end.
Matt: "So we're making two of those, so we'll need 4 of the big sides and 4 of the small sides."
Me: "I don't think that's the right number of stripes for an American flag...oh."
Whatever you do, do not allow them to flex at all. My cousin made a concrete shelf for his wife's office and it flexed just a little when he put it in place and it cracked. Everything has to be perfectly level and supported around the perimeter, even just a few pounds of pressure can cause it to crack.
mat didn't bump his monitor he raged wen he got killed. LoL!
Kenny Chesney gave my 5yo niece his guitar he was using at one of his concerts at Blossom in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. When he finished his set, he literally knelt down on stage and took it off his neck, signed it and gave it to her. He is one awesome guy!
5:53 Mere says, " We need it 12 inches " and her watch shows 12 :-)
word of advice Matt. Just lay the sink upside down in the right place and then draw around it. then mark in 10-15 mm as that's all you need to support the sink.
“I told you it had to be smooth” “I didn’t know why so I ignored that and it’s your fault mere”
That RAKE points up made me fear for your safety 😳😳 outstanding project Vid. Thank you for sharing 👍👍. 👽🛸
"Make the caulk smooth"
Mere
Hey Matt. When working with small area like that for concrete just continuously tap bottom and sides with rubber mallet..It’ll keep small pebbles away from edges and keep top and sides nice and smooth..
Would,t the caulk be covered by the sink when you set it in so smoothing it would be moot?
That's true.
I made a concrete countertop a while back ridged foam works good for the sink cutout.
We are in the concrete business and we only let them sit for overnight we don’t let them our stuff sit for a few days it would be fun if you open them up the next day
✋🏼
Matt, I bet you do have a VIBRATOR to get those air bubbles out. 🤔. It’s called an orbital SANDER ... hold it sideways against the bottom and sides of the form ... same outcome on smaller scale! 👍🏼
Concrete ranch= no. Crafting Ranch= yes!
Nice job on the DIY concrete tops, can't wait to see if they turn out. Matt you should pick up a small job site table saw, it will speed up your next DIY project.
He's 1 lucky guy Mere is well out of his league, only joking, she's stunning tho , gorgeous!!
I know I get a little guff for complimenting Mere here. She is really a special gal. Beautiful intelligent and a terrific mom.
Mere is married, if matt sees this he'll prolly feel awkward
Sorry guys I think Matt's awesome and Mere, there a great looking couple, defo not hating totally only joking, Wow the demolitia are a tight bunch RESPECT
Nice job demolitia kenney is now number one.
Just wondering why you guys didn’t build that on a table.?!
It would have been a lot easier to work at belt buckle height instead off your knees.
I'm guessing they didn't have enough table space to work on them. Really, though, they'd only need to work on one on a table at a time and then put them on the ground to fill them.
Or at least once it was tacked together stand it on its side to drill and screw it together instead of trying to drill it from the side with the drill on the ground. I kept thinking for a couple of smart people they are doing this the hardest way possible.
You can vibrate the sides with a palm sander. Same thing as the big one but will get the bubbles out of small projects.
Pressure is on he said,,, she has a engineering degree, she got this
Mere ain't just a pretty face, she's the brains of the family too! :D haha
Funny, when I was in college for engineering we did concrete, did it with rebar and with out in same forms to test the strength,
I’ve never met an engineer who knew how to use a drill or any other tool
Then you don't know any engineering grads just saying!!!
Joey isamazingly stupid!!!
