My floor in my building in Illinois they did everything wrong. No plastic down and no wire. I seen online where the house was sold again and they had pictures of the inside of the building and the floor had some major cracks and one area it heaved. Glad I don't own that anymore. The building I have now they never put relief cuts in it either and the concrete was poured over 30 years ago, according to my neighbor.
The wet screed looks pretty efficient. The last time I had concrete poured, they drove rebar every so many feet and set the top of the rebar to the level of the concrete with the laser. Then when they passed that spot, they would drive the rebar down below the surface and then finish that spot.
When I was driving, no matter what, it was always a wheelbarrow, maybe 2! LOL 😂 ESPECIALLY if the paying customer was standing there within hearing distance! LOL 😂 I never got to play with a rider when I was in business, but it does look entertaining! It looks like it polished up pretty good! 👍👌
Never fails when the owner says its all ready and you show up the day before and it isnt ! I always stop to look at whatever I am pouring the day before to check when the homeowner says it ready to go !
Thats just how it is my guy! Unless the builder doesnt have it high. Just backcharges! Which was exactly what bondo had to do, i have had to raise the grade an inch on certain type of slabs
@@bondobuilt386 After having to remove rotted posts from my deck (deck builder installed them that way about 25 years ago), I will never ever install them into concrete.
Why couldn't you just add to the skirt board? I know you raise the floor elevation a little but having it above the adjacent grade is helpful, since this is so flat site. They'll have a hard time keeping water away from the building as it is.
Bondo what’s concrete worth a yard in NY state? You add the price of concrete with the invoice for placing or home owner pays that bill directly with Circle T? Chris is worth a lot of money with his knowledge on finishing concrete, hard man to replace….Priceless!!! Beautiful job sir!!!
would it have been quicker, easier, and cheaper to just screw/nail on another 2/6 on top of the current board? or would that have screwed up the doors?
What would have been the harm in laying a 2x4 on top of the 2x6 edge board and just pouring to that level? Unless maybe that the final slab height would have been too high for other critical measurements (either inside or outside the building)
Question for you bondo. I was thinking about buying a small rider like you have there. I pour mostly outdoors 1500-2000 ft slabs. The way the concrete is drying with the concrete we are getting im having all i can do to get 1500 sq ft finished with a brand new 4 foot mbw high torque trowel. Been finishing for 30 years. Used to be able to do 1500 with a 36 inch trowel. My question is how much can you comfortably finish in full sun with your rider? Im from st lawrence county about 2 hours north of you. We do a lot of the same work/same way as you. Thanks for any info
Wouldn't want to risk damaging a floor, but putting someone on that rider with no experience or training would make for some extremely entertaining content. I can imagine someone touching the wrong lever and ending up in the road with it.
aggressively refers to how far apart the cut lines are, not how deep they are cutting, closer together = more aggressive. 10' apart on a 5" thick slab is aggressive, it takes a long time to make all those cuts. Guys i know typically cut a floor every 12-15' depending on the exact dimensions. There are guys out there who would have cut that into 8 pieces (25' between cuts)
Don't see you lifting the wire mesh where it makes a difference since the person raking and spreading the concrete is stepping on it and forcing it down!!
Do Biscuit a solid and keep donuts away from the job site. He lost weight over the winter. Coffee breaks are mandatory but seek protein snacks. Big Foot should have grabbed something from the woods for the crew. That was a big pour and it looks good.
Your finish guy is very talented working the ride on .

I sure hope you got compensated for the all the extra grade work. You guys rule!
That is one nice looking slab of concrete. Congrats to the team!
Good morning guys. Big time work
Greetings from Southern California

The easiest and fastest way of earning trust is to be honest to people and stand by your set of values. Well done Bondo
This looks fantastic. Great work and thanks for all the videos. Love it.
Beautiful job Bondo! Another work of art.
Despite all the problems your team had excellent results!
That floor looks better than my 40x80 which i always thought was the best I have seen. Awesome!
thank

That was cool of the company to buy coffee and donuts. Those small things mean alot.
I agree.
Good job yet again, can't believe all these building owners don't put Pex in.
Would it be easier to add another board on top of one that existed raise the floor up and 5 inches
Pretty thick layer looks 5 inches another beautiful pour
Bondo Good Morning Job looking Good.🤙🔥🇺🇸

Looks good bondo the crew did good work 😊 time for a drink 🥃
I can see that the floor was compacted very well, those trucks are heavy.
yes it was.
nice job i like the way you get it done right
That rider looks like a lot of work for the operator Hmmmmm beautiful job !
So, it's still a good idea to embed the pole barn posts into the concrete. Why not install the post on top of concrete?
no I agree but I do not build these barns.

Magic. Just magic!

Turn out really nice 👍 good job

yard is around 180 before "fees" in our area in NY and thanks for the kind words
-Chris
90 👍's up BB thank you for sharing 🤗
Is anyone pulling the wire up? I can't tell.
@@rogerkubli660 yes for sure we were and always do.
@bondobuilt386 great. I always have to keep an eye on my finishers. They get lazy or busy and if I'm spending money on wire I want it taken care of.
I see a bit of half-hearted wire pulling but most of that mesh is flat on the plastic.
thats a half hearted comment Bud. you must be blind.
Real nice job guys looking good as always
Great videos. Thanks
Lookin good!
Gotta say that the wire mesh isn’t helping a bit laying onto the vapor barrier rather that half way in the concrete pad😔
How many trucks did this project take?
Sauce Crotch was stalking you for this entire job. It's a good thing you can work under pressure.
would it have been quicker, easier, and cheaper to just screw/nail on another 2/6 on top of the current board? or would that have screwed up the doors?
Amazing for me to watch.
That rider is cool😊
What would have been the harm in laying a 2x4 on top of the 2x6 edge board and just pouring to that level?
Unless maybe that the final slab height would have been too high for other critical measurements (either inside or outside the building)
Entry doors would be off
Big pour guys! and good job on the wire # 👀 # 👍
Do you ever feel the need to wrap foam around the bottom of the posts for expansion?
I was wondering the same thing I seen other companies rap the poles with felt or foam.

How do you charge for the concrete by the yard or the foot and does that include the grading the foam and wire mesh.
Good job
First Class All The Way!
They grow up so fast! (Biscuit).... 🙂 @41:22

The wire mesh was put in too correctly! Come on guys...you can do worse next time! 😆
I guess everyone cuts after the fact rather than lay down expansion joints up front because they dont want to finish around the joints?
Why not just raise the form boards to reduce labor?
The wire police give you an A+. No way. Anyone who see’s this video can say you did not pull the wire.
In England we call the power float "Paddy's helicopter"
wwwoooo 50 x 100.beautiful job cowboys.thanks for turning shit into ice cream.blessing to all🙏💎🌴🍾🇹🇹
I always tell participants that a quarter of is 5 minutes late.
That’s a long day!
WHY don't you use water reducer? Seems to me it's a bit the hard way...
Change order??????
5" slab, how deep are the cuts typically and how deep for these "cut it aggressively" control cuts?
aggressively refers to how far apart the cut lines are, not how deep they are cutting, closer together = more aggressive. 10' apart on a 5" thick slab is aggressive, it takes a long time to make all those cuts. Guys i know typically cut a floor every 12-15' depending on the exact dimensions. There are guys out there who would have cut that into 8 pieces (25' between cuts)
back in my days we only did finished joints, saw cuts are so much nicer.
Nice job. I that slab was supposed to be 4" should have been more like 62 yards not 80. HMMMM LOL
It was 6” in the workshop area, only backside was 4.5. If entire shop was 6 it would be closer to 92.5 yards
You should put foam or small form boards around the posts to keep the concrete from touching the wood posts and rotting them out.
You pour nice concrete. Not soup like some of the other guys
You should of cut it in smaller sections off each post.....off the posts are where the cracking is most likely to happen.
Would it have been easier to add a 2x4 skirt board tho?
Don't see you lifting the wire mesh where it makes a difference since the person raking and spreading the concrete is stepping on it and forcing it down!!
Do Biscuit a solid and keep donuts away from the job site. He lost weight over the winter. Coffee breaks are mandatory but seek protein snacks. Big Foot should have grabbed something from the woods for the crew. That was a big pour and it looks good.
I can see a lot of wire on the bottom no good 😊😊
Pull up the wire, no?
A lot better on the 10 yards at the entrance.
Sasquatch hosed you guys over on this one.
OWW, MY BACK ...OWW MY KNEES.....:)..75 yds?
I hate workers that come in late
Haaaa! Back in the day, if you stayed out to late, guys would sleep in their trucks at the job site!
Where is the big one the twin
Please tell me you charge the customer for the extra prep work? If not, I don't see how you make any money if your quotes aren't inflated...
no I did not uncharge. still made money though.
You don't eat any sugar? Are you sure? That's amazing if you don't because not many are able to break the addiction.
I would have charged him for the extra work.
Holly filler Batman!!!
Pull that wire up. Rebar is better
if your early, your on time. If your on time, your late
Ya
I love this channel but it’s painful watching concrete being poured around and touching the wood posts.
Why not nail a 2x4 on top of the 2x6 and raise the grade? I don't know anything seems easier
Huge? I guess all things are relative, guessing you don't have much commercial experience. It's ALL part of the job
Sounds to me like your 8Track is malfunctioning. Nice poor.
Bondo ck ur dog ears may be a cat tail in them.😊
Best work of construction 🦺, I like this work ❤
Charge for extras .
