- In today's video I'll be pouring a giant set of stairs with toe kicks. This will be my last pour in Washington state as I'll be moving to Hawaii!! So sit back and enjoy as me and a group of long time friends lay down another quality job!
Good to see plenty of Americans at work
Great looking steps. I got nervous when you were pulling the foam off. Awesome video and great job!
Thanks bro it makes me nervous pulling the foam sometimes
Great work Juan
Nothing like having a crew who individually know what they are supposed to do true finishers
Thank you for saying that. Having a skilled crew definitely makes the difference on pour day or any day really
Looks sharp man, great job guys!
Thanks bud it was a big set of stairs took a lot of good guys to make it happen
My dad built custom homes in Central Florida for 40 years. Concrete and Masonry was personal focus part of the builds. He use to call the Concrete delivery "a truckload of misery."
I've had plenty of days I would agree with that statement
It would be sweet to see the final product with some daylight.
Mucho bueno!!👍🏽
Unfortunately that was my last day in Washington it was my buddys job and I was helping one last time
That might be the best on youtube!
Thanks bro appreciate that!!
I even gave it a shout out on the video I just dropped
@@GRUBB-MUDD hell yeah bro that means a lot I super appreciate it! And FYI you are pretty badass at pouring steps
Right on! Have fun in the pacific
@thatjuanshow4485 yo I watched it again, I wasn't lying these might be the best on youtube 4 real
Very nice job.
Thanks bud 🤙🏼
Howdy that’s awesome.
What color is that and what slump did you use? Maybe a 5 slump? It sounded like hail storm grey for the color? So good!
Pretty sure if memories are correct it was Hail storm gray and medium gray release. At the beginning the slump was a little loose but by the time we reached the risers it was a good 5 slump easy mix to move around. Super killer set of stairs anyone would be lucky to have behind there house. Thanks for watching have a great day
@@thatjuanshow4485 thanks! Yeah looks so good! Because of your video I just poured hailstorm grey stairs in my back yard and love them 🤠🕺
This is such a art form just like good drywalling.
Definitely agree with that drywall is hard work
Awesome keep up the good work
Thanks bud 🤙🏼
Wowwww men hermoso trabajo son unos profecionales
U need anyone else there in hawaii? I lived on the Big Island for a few years in my early 20s in the early 2000s. Been doin construction for almost 20 years. Carpentry, Foundations, Flatwork, etc
That's awesome I love it here I wish I had my own company started up its a lot harder to get set up here lots of hoops to jump through. I should be licensed by December so hopefully everything falls Into place after that
Absolutely fantastic job. Would love some guidance on the foam. In my local area,I have never met a crew that knows how to wet face concrete, so I have been reaching out a lot to my US counterparts. How do you know especially with nosings, the appropriate time to remove riser boards so that they don't collapse? Also, how do you secure the foam to the riser form so that it doesnt float away? Thanks so much for sharing your experience - I do a lot of concrete work, but experience in architectural stairs is lacking for me. Thanks! :)
Thank you for the great questions. What part of the world do you reside? I secure my foam with 3 inch screws from the back side of the wood and use tape or silicone to cover screw heads from filling with concrete also I use spray paint to make it easy to relocate the screws when it's time to strip. I use the screws on out side so when it's time to strip you can remove the screws so when you remove the wood the foam remains in the reveal . I use cooking spray for form release because a petroleum product could melt your foam. I like to use inch and a half foam cut to a 45 and a two inch lip for the top . Using that size foam and leaving it in a little longer than each form you pull off helps it not break. I strip the forms when it's hard enough that when I start pulling stakes the concrete doesn't jiggle and can support my weight without sinking but maybe and 1/8th . Strip your well oiled forms very important there well oiled that's what's going to make your life easier one riser at a time starting on top. After riser comes of mag and trowel faces sides then I use a nail to break suction on the foam pulling at a downward angle so the 45 is pulling down and then pull outward with slightly jiggle motion till the foam releases. Then repeat all the way down. I use a car wash sponge and margin trowel to face the reveal. It takes a lot of finesse to strip forms and pull stakes just make sure you don't bang things around to much while stripping. I hope this helps out feel free to ask anything else concrete related and I'd be happy to assist the best I can. Have a great day and good luck
@@thatjuanshow4485 Thank you very much for the wonderfully detailed response! I'm in Vancouver Canada, where the jobs are super expensive and huge and there is a massive lack of talent compared to the work that I see being done in the US. Yall have a treasure trove of knowledge that I don't see up here very often especially in regards to concrete. Once again thanks very much, and I look forward to talking further. - Matt
@@thatjuanshow4485 Thanks so much for the feedback. I'm sorry but I thought that I had replied earlier. I'm up in Vancouver BC, Canada and I am really looking forward to using these techniques. I will absolutely let you know how it goes. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply.
Hermoso trabajo 👌👌 saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱
Muchas gracias mucho appreciated
They look good, but I still prefer Proline step liners, but yeah good job man
Proline is the best💪🏼 I agree 🤙🏼
I wish you had footage of the finished product! I bet those are sweet!
They did turn out sweet but unfortunately i was only part of the pour
Love that color, hey I got a question, have u ever permatique exposed agg?
No I haven't I don't see why it would not work. I could see it using more product due to the surface being ruffer
Absolutely gorgeous, how did u cut that foam?
We used a table saw to cut the angle
Is that pea Gravel mix easier to finish faces?
Way easier it makes it easier to finish in my opinion
2 foot treads r nice
Hey man love your work . What was the total drop ? Did you had to install any foundation with a beam underneath to support the weight ?
That set was in the 3k range. No need for a footing the ground was plenty hard plus it was dowels into the foundation. Thanks for the great compliment it's very much appreciated!
How did u install the foam detail
The way i install foam is to use three inch screws full thread no shoulder and screw it from the front side use paint to mark the screws for easier stripping
@@thatjuanshow4485 how did you end up ‘finishing’ under the foam after you pulled it out
Once foam is removed i use a small trowel and mag to make sure all parts of the revel are clean
Does the fiber mesh show after it’s finished.
Not as long as you use stealth fiber long fiber tends to ball up and will look like seagull poo on the finish product
Juan what are those concrete boots you guys all got? They look a lot more comfortable than the home cheapo rubber boots
A lot of guys wear lacrosse or Xtra tuff. In my opinion it always pays to buy good boots gotta take care of our feet
@@thatjuanshow4485 thanks bro!
@@wizard5213 we use Bogs up here!! Great boots
What up man? You coming to Indiana?
Omw right now
They look nice when there wet once they dry you can see all the imperfections....
I wana see that all sealed up
How long did you wait to pull the foam?
Timing depends on the day but I pull the foam right after I strip the wood. Just gotta be careful. I also use Pam cooking spry to oil the foam right before I pour that insures easy removal. Just make sure you pull it downward
@@thatjuanshow4485 Dang Pam cooking spray is a great tip! Thanks man!
@@thatjuanshow4485 One more question - how do you attach the foam to the wood? Screws? Glue?
@Aaron Michael If screwing through 1"1/2 material I use 3 inch screws from the back side to the inside while holding the foam in place from the inside. After screwing the foam all up I spray paint where every screw is so when I comes to striping time I know where they all are. Hope this helps let me know how everything works out!
@@thatjuanshow4485 THANK YOU!!!
BTW I'm the step master! You tube or real life! Jk we would make a good team
Grub mud would have used a wheel barrel to pour those steps....lol 20 yrds...
Hahaha maybe!
Haha, prob a buggy or a tractor, might just have used a huge tractor and huge bucket! Eddie be real w its though, I think I got him figured out
Concrete or Mortar!
Concrete!
Nothing like having a crew who individually know what they are supposed to do true finishers
