Seriously, Dan the Trowel Man was the star of this show. He indicated that he's been doing this for 12+ years! On the one hand, his skills bear that out. But how do his knees still bend? I think we have to give Dan credit for his trim body being a big part of his success. You can't do hard work like that, using your body and especially your knees, if you are a fat bastard. He floats above that concrete like a feather. Keep it up as long as you can, Dan!
The concrete finish guy was amazing. He had on a Mille Lacs sweatshirt too. My farm was just South of the lake in Bock Minnesota. I really miss that farm. they did an awesome job. I am impressed.
People don't realize how hard it is find skilled professionals who actually take pride in their work to a point where they are meticulous about it. The concrete crew and the finisher are those professionals. I've worked with a few contractors in my life and it's tough to find ones who's motto isn't "It's good enough". Great job.
You can really tell when people are knowledgeable and enjoy their job. This whole series has been great to watch as someone looking to add on in the next few years.
Wow, you can tell the guy doing the troweling really takes pride in his job when you hear him talk about it. I used to want to do concrete work. I also used to want to do tiling work. I did tiling work recently and now I don't want to do either. I am in my 50s and in pretty good shape, but hat kind of work is extremely hard on the body. I know understand the term "I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees" came from. It's not about freedom, its about being a concrete or tile worker. lol
One of the big reasons for me wanting to lose 10-15 kg is to make it that much easier on my body to do any physical activity, very much including manual labor like this.
much respect to that guy doing the troweling there's no way in hell even when I was younger i'd have managed to do something like that as my back and my knees would've been killing me within the first 10 minutes of doing that lol
The bit about the conductivity difference between concrete and wood is a great real-life example for when I teach thermodynamics in my intro physics classes, many of whom are future engineers. Like he said, those wide, metal tracks for attaching the tube to the underside of the subfloor helps disperse the heat. *Teacher-mode: Engage* Heat is transferred basically by atoms or molecules jiggling and bumping into their neighbors. In solids they’re a lot closer together so it’s much easier to transfer heat. It just depends on the density and atomic structure as to how easily they conduct. Wood is pretty low, concrete is medium and metal is super high. The thermal conductivity of air is super low because the atoms are so far apart so less heat is transferred per given time. *Teacher-mode: Disengage*
a recent video from ruclips.net/user/BattleshipNewJersey mentioned that the wood decking on the battleship is insulating, it helps keep the heat inside the ship
I've done plenty of concrete work like this. Some people can do it because they "bulldog" their way through it. Others can do it because it is an art to them and they make it look effortless. I can tell you this; it takes good core and shoulder strength. You can tell by his tools, that he is a total professional; the really good ones are mindful all the way around...the job, the work, and their tools. Well done!!!
What is amazing is the range of skills required for pouring concrete. From the guy that holds the hose to reduce the surges for the man guiding the hose. To the guy with the wheelbarrow that needs a board to tell him where to dump his load. To the guy with the pusher that gets the concrete to approximately the correct depth. To the guy squatting with the long tube who makes the first level surface. To the trowel craftsman. And then there are the few experts who go from craftsmanship to artistry. A rare minority.
It's always enjoyable to watch someone not just do a job well, but exceptionally well. Finish guy FTW! Whole crew too. Matt, nice job holding up the doorway. LOL
For real, Dan should have his own youtube channel. If you're like me, and you sub to a lot of unknown musicians and woodworkers and whatnot, the skill he has is on par with that.
I absolutely love watching professionals at work, and Dan did an amazing job. I've poured, screeded and troweled concrete before and know it's not easy work. And yes I've actually done that, there is nothing I haven't done before and done it all well. Now I'm old and don't do anything anymore LOL
#BarnesPlumbing did some excellent work! BUT, the guy running the screed, floats and trowels for #UnlimitedConcreteConcepts was amazing! I have never seen anyone work a screed like that before. He worked it like a float. Awesome work! Thanks for another great video, Team #MassiveMatt #MattCremona! #DonavansHomes!
This concrete finish guy made me think of Bruce Lee and "Be like water", so this guy is so in tune with "Be like cement and flow"! Never thought I'd want to watch all that hand troweling but it was artistry.
Hey Matt. I've watched many crews place concrete. Well done on finding a super-skilled one for your project. These guys are first rate. The screed and trowel man is an artist. The only false note in the whole video was after the final float where the guy picked up two handfuls of concrete with bare hands. Over the long haul, this can do real damage.
The quality of that finished concrete floor is the reason why you call the professionals. Absolutely beautiful work. It's great that all of these guys are willing to talk to you and answer your questions.
Wondering how difficult it would be to build Dan a set of custom sleds like the ones that were stolen from him, seems like the type of guy who prides himself in his work and tools.
Wow! Under the conditions in which they had to work, the concrete guys did some of the best work I've ever seen. it's great to have a professional team like them working for you. Five out of five stars for their work....
You are really lucky to have Dan finishing your concrete. Even before he was talking to you giving you the finer points of finishing I was gonna comment how great it was that he jumped on so many times plus by himself. That’s a lot of work scrubbing like that and very hard on the back, arms, and hands. Great work
Donavan is a man after my own heart, My coffee cup gets washed once a month if I think of it and I switch between coffee, hot chocolate, hot tea and hot tang all day. If you run a knife around the inside it's like cleaning concrete out of a wheel barrow.
Matt I really enjoy this renovation series. Not that I don't like your usual stuff, but truth be told I don't live in a 16th century castle with room for a Queen Anne Highboy.
Coming from somewhere that the average minimum temperature in winter is 7degC, it amazes me tge lengths you guys need to go to in order to keep warm! I really find it fascinating to watch the different methods of construction you employ there. It had never occurred to me that you would put foam insulation under the concrete, and ive never seen subfloor heating installed! The last video where you did tge front roof extension and you were discussing the freezing line (I think thats what you called it) where snow and ice builds up at the edge of the roof, really blew me away. It is something Id never even thought about! Really enjoying this series Mate, keep it going 👍🏼😊
It's so enjoyable to watch a skilled tradesperson take so much pride in their work that they spend that much time making it just right. There's also just something so pleasing when working with concrete when troweling it out smooth.
It is really nice to hear a craftsman who is proud of what he does, talk about his work. I enjoyed this as much as I did when listening to craftsman who did work for me.
Sorry I'm late. Ive always hated Concrete day. It is always a nerve wrecking day... but WOW, what a great job, one wheel barrel at a time!👍👍 That brother who is screeding & troweling by hand, while squatting and kneeling ALL DAY, BUY HIM A STEAK DINNER! 🍽 🥗 🥣
For me this is the first time I've seen someone doing this, if we can call this " concrete skiing ", I'm following Matt to enjoy his woodworking skill, I've not seen lot of concrete work, may be this is common within the trade but for me this is new and very cool 😎
My dad did concrete work for about 20 years starting in the 70's and he would have loved those skies. He used 2x2 sheets of Luann on a 24x40 basement floor.
I really like the detailed explanations about what the trades are doing, what they are using and why, and then watching them put their experience and skills in action. Without a doubt, that's what separates and places your channel above others. Thanks for entertaining and educating us!
Theres something quite hypnotic and therapeutic about watching concrete being laid. Especially by such a professional. I think its an order of a lovely smooth floor out of the chaos of the raw concrete thing.
The angle of some of the shots, I half expected to see foot prints in the concrete. Excellent finisher - wish I could find someone with that kind of craftsmanship skills in my area.
Watching that concrete go on was SO weirdly satisfying. Makes me wonder if choosing a life behind a computer screen was the right choise. That floor is smoother than my buttocks.
I've taught computer science classes for about 12 years but I'm also pretty handy with tools, doing three car restorations, a lot of woodworking and welding projects, and I can really appreciate the guys and girls who make a living in the so-called manual trades. Without them there would be no buildings, plumbing, electrical or any of the other things we take for granted. There's more to life than a computer screen.
Such artistry! And kudos to your editing skills. Tons of camera shots to put together. You asked many more questions than I could have thought up...and I'm a curious person. Great job, guys!
I finished concrete for years along time ago, basically at Disney World, if you have been there you probably walked on my work. In those years never did I see Store Bought Knee Boards, those were really cool.
Aww your son made a friend, a rock. As if it was his little pet. He might be on to something here with this pet rock thing, might want to look into that Matt. :)
Having gone through this process some 25 years ago, I can really appreciate the skill of the workers involved. Great job, I love the series and can't wait for the next episode.
you were talking about washing cups, reminds me of working on a building site years ago, and once a month the architects and the contractor had a site meeting, a problem was that the foreman never washed the coffee/teacups from one meeting to the morning of the next meeting, the laborer was caught, by the architect, washing the cups out at the sandpit, using sand to remove the stains in the cups, this didn't go down too well 😂 as this was halfway through the contract and this was the method of cleaning at all the other meetings 😂
Where were those power tools to remove old concrete when I was doing that back in the 60s and 70s? Oh, that's right they hadn't been invented yet....it was a bummer doing everything like that with sledgehammers and cold steel chisels. Those concrete guys did an amazing job. I have never seen those types of knee sleds before this video and now that I've seen them in use, in my opinion, they are by far the best type to use on any concrete floor pour. Not only did they glide easily they didn't leave ridges on the floor like it does when people use pieces of foam or plywood for their knee pads. The finish on that concrete floor was also one of the best I've seen for a basement floor.
Definitely a young mans game. Using the screed board as a big wood float is new to me and impressive. Nice work by these guys . My hat is off to the guys hauling concrete by wheelbarrow, have to be in shape for that.
The plumber amazed me with the tools and pex, my Grandfather was a plumber and he would love the ease with which the pex fitting are secured, those power tools rock. The cement is not so much a job but an art . They wore me out just watching them do it.. So much to see this week. Thank you.
Thanks Jonathan I was curious about that as well, why they couldn't use a hose ...oh well great job , just had a lot of work done and they are artist in their trade
I think it's really cool to see how the communication goes within the team that was doing the floor. It's mostly non verbal, so if you would be on a noisy job site it wouldn't be a problem.
I'm certain concrete workers don't need to go to the gym! I'm exhausted just watching all that work. I hope they make good money. When we built a house about 40 years ago they were just putting the finishing touches on the garage floor and my son, who was not quite 2, opened the door that led to the garage and ran the full length of the garage leaving footprints. I still feel so bad for the worker who had to go back and fix it
This has been fascinating to watch this whole process. I love watching you Matt do your magic on wood, but watching people that know what they are doing is amazing
Dan, the concrete finisher is an artist with the bull float and the hand troweling.
You can tell he takes pride in his work!
had the same thought. He is an artist.
Seriously, Dan the Trowel Man was the star of this show. He indicated that he's been doing this for 12+ years! On the one hand, his skills bear that out. But how do his knees still bend?

Dan is my dar
My dad is in there his name is dan
The concrete finish guy was amazing. He had on a Mille Lacs sweatshirt too. My farm was just South of the lake in Bock Minnesota. I really miss that farm. they did an awesome job. I am impressed.
They definitely earned their pay!

very very very very hard to find now a day , talking from experience.

as a tile setter this is very accurate 😂
LOVE watchin someone work with skill in their hands...... I could watch him float that floor all day :)
Love for those guys to come cut out my garage floor and redo it to look like that 20x20
much respect to that guy doing the troweling there's no way in hell even when I was younger i'd have managed to do something like that as my back and my knees would've been killing me within the first 10 minutes of doing that lol
You get into the groove of doing it. Like any job. Your body gets used to the moves and just do it. He did a very good job.
This is important information, ty

Gotta love teacher mode especially as I consider myself a lifetime learner.
Thank you for the explanations.
When a person stops learning, they start dying!

Wonderful teamwork there. The man doing the screeding must have great knees to do all that physical work whilst kneeling for so long.
It's always enjoyable to watch someone not just do a job well, but exceptionally well. Finish guy FTW! Whole crew too. Matt, nice job holding up the doorway. LOL
Yep, someones gotta hold up that door way!
That dude skreeting has incredible talent.
For real, Dan should have his own youtube channel. If you're like me, and you sub to a lot of unknown musicians and woodworkers and whatnot, the skill he has is on par with that.

The finisher was quite technical, has a great deal of pride in his work. When he described his skis, I expected him to say they have cup holders.
Matt you are so lucky ! That guy is an artist ! Many years since I have seen someone so talented at their profession .
The guy finishing the concrete is a beast. Lol I would've done the initial pass with the 2x4 and called it good enough for my basement.
I don't recall if it was ever mentioned if these floors will be finished further or not
#BarnesPlumbing did some excellent work! BUT, the guy running the screed, floats and trowels for #UnlimitedConcreteConcepts was amazing! I have never seen anyone work a screed like that before. He worked it like a float. Awesome work! Thanks for another great video, Team #MassiveMatt #MattCremona! #DonavansHomes!
The guy using that screed, wow, he did a great job!
As old as I am you learned something every day what education on cement work
Looking good! Geez! Dan has incredible talent!
This concrete finish guy made me think of Bruce Lee and "Be like water", so this guy is so in tune with "Be like cement and flow"! Never thought I'd want to watch all that hand troweling but it was artistry.
Dan is a magician.
Dan talks about troweling the way Matt talks about wood and Lindsay talks about law and pancake.
And that guy’s is why concrete work is worth the price, great job Dan!

Wondering how difficult it would be to build Dan a set of custom sleds like the ones that were stolen from him, seems like the type of guy who prides himself in his work and tools.
Probably difficult to make a pair that Dan would love. Especially if not made by someone who makes them all the time. A really nice gesture though👍
It is great that you could find two craftsmen that take so much pride in their work that they are willing to explain it all.
The information about having the tubes under pressure to protect them from crushing was good! Obvious once I heard it!
Wow! Under the conditions in which they had to work, the concrete guys did some of the best work I've ever seen. it's great to have a professional team like them working for you. Five out of five stars for their work....
As a West Aussie, Amazed at the amount of stuff that goes into weatherproofing a home in your climate, Matt.
as central European I am like, wait, that is all?
Never seen anyone use an aluminum tube as a screed . That guy was an artist, it was like he had an 8' trowel.
You are really lucky to have Dan finishing your concrete. Even before he was talking to you giving you the finer points of finishing I was gonna comment how great it was that he jumped on so many times plus by himself.

Watching concrete go from rough to smooth is so satisfying. 👌
Wow! Dan is very good at what he does.👍 Concrete work is hard and heavy. He made it look nearly effortless. Great job.
Mike is the best! He is the most thoughtful and makes sure he knows when I have calls so he can mitigate any loud noises so I can work from home.
These concrete guys are not paid enough.
Matt I really enjoy this renovation series. Not that I don't like your usual stuff, but truth be told I don't live in a 16th century castle with room for a Queen Anne Highboy.

Average winter temp here is -15c and in Jan we’ll get down to -35 for a few days every year. A little different here 😄
@@mcremona lol, just a tad!! Brrrrrr....Daytime average winter temp is about 16C...quite pleasant if theres no rain 😊
Final finish looks amazing. Concrete finishing is an art. It takes a lot of patience.
A shout out to the concreter doing the finishing work. A real professional.
It's so enjoyable to watch a skilled tradesperson take so much pride in their work that they spend that much time making it just right. There's also just something so pleasing when working with concrete when troweling it out smooth.
Concrete guy did a amazing job. Dude has love for his work
I really enjoy hearing people talk about their craft. Sometimes people just want to be able to share - glad you listened and enjoyed it.
Amazing what a simple 2x4 can do when handled by a master.
It is really nice to hear a craftsman who is proud of what he does, talk about his work. I enjoyed this as much as I did when listening to craftsman who did work for me.
All concrete trucks should have the discharge in the front! Makes total sense!
Sorry I'm late. Ive always hated Concrete day. It is always a nerve wrecking day... but WOW, what a great job, one wheel barrel at a time!👍👍
That brother who is screeding & troweling by hand, while squatting and kneeling ALL DAY, BUY HIM A STEAK DINNER! 🍽 🥗 🥣
I spent 6 years living in a house that had this kind of heating. Since I was a kid (1965) I didn't know these details. Most educational for me.
Not only were these concrete guys exceptional, I'm still trying to figure out how you filmed some of these scenes. Well done!
look up--the camera is mounted in the corner. Nothing tricky to it.
That floor looks superb. That gent went the extra mile for sure!
Big step right there. Heat and floor in one shot. Love the interaction with the crafts.
For me this is the first time I've seen someone doing this, if we can call this " concrete skiing ", I'm following Matt to enjoy his woodworking skill, I've not seen lot of concrete work, may be this is common within the trade but for me this is new and very cool 😎

Looks great, Interesting never seen "concrete sliders" before. This project definitely coming together.
Theres something quite hypnotic and therapeutic about watching concrete being laid. Especially by such a professional. I think its an order of a lovely smooth floor out of the chaos of the raw concrete thing.

Great job, guys!
I honestly didn't expect them to do more than smooth the concrete with that 2x4. That finishing work was incredible.
looks like an alumnium 2x4 ... hard to see
Yes aluminum screed
I am loving this journey.
I'd never attempt to pour a concrete floor myself. It's such a high-stakes operation that I'd call in experienced pros like these guys.
I finished concrete for years along time ago, basically at Disney World, if you have been there you probably walked on my work. In those years never did I see Store Bought Knee Boards, those were really cool.
Aww your son made a friend, a rock. As if it was his little pet. He might be on to something here with this pet rock thing, might want to look into that Matt. :)

It looks incredible! Wow, they did a very nice job placing you concrete floor and I love the pex heating
It is so satisfying watching Mason's do their thing. I have a lot of respect for this trade.
The fellow smoothing the concrete earned his paycheck! Being on your knees for that long has to be tough. He is an artist.
OUTSTANDING : o .... Peace on Earth FOREVER : o ....
Kudos to your concrete man , great job .
Where were those power tools to remove old concrete when I was doing that back in the 60s and 70s? Oh, that's right they hadn't been invented yet....it was a bummer doing everything like that with sledgehammers and cold steel chisels. Those concrete guys did an amazing job. I have never seen those types of knee sleds before this video and now that I've seen them in use, in my opinion, they are by far the best type to use on any concrete floor pour.

Thanks for filming the concrete finishing in so much detail. Man, I hope that dude gets paid a lot. Incredible stuff. Brutal artistry.
Definitely a young mans game. Using the screed board as a big wood float is new to me and impressive. Nice work by these guys . My hat is off to the guys hauling concrete by wheelbarrow, have to be in shape for that.
I thoroughly enjoy watching tradesmen that are excellent at their craft.
The plumber amazed me with the tools and pex, my Grandfather was a plumber and he would love the ease with which the pex fitting are secured, those power tools rock. The cement is not so much a job but an art . They wore me out just watching them do it.. So much to see this week. Thank you.
Curious if you could have poured the concrete through the window. Loving these videos so far.
Truck can’t go over there. Thanks!
Thanks Jonathan I was curious about that as well, why they couldn't use a hose ...oh well great job , just had a lot of work done and they are artist in their trade
it was a long video, but i had to watch it all through. it would have been disrespectful to dan and his craft to skip any of it.
The concrete finish is amazing. Real craftsmanship.
i haven't seen anyone do more then two passes for a very long time.nice job
Concrete is both science and art.
Dan is very clearly in the right trade. That was impressive.
Wow, the concrete guys were brutal with your pex pipe, I would have been sweating. Glad it all worked out, with no leaks and a lovely finish.
Awesome job, an artist with trowels .
Thank you for the conversion to metric and Thank you for the vlogs!!
Done some concrete finishing. Nothing to this scale. Yep, timing is *EVERYTHING!*
I think it's really cool to see how the communication goes within the team that was doing the floor. It's mostly non verbal, so if you would be on a noisy job site it wouldn't be a problem.
It was really interesting to watch the pex install and then the concrete work! Those people are so good at their trade.
Perfect! The tubing starts at 0 and increments in Fathoms. Just what you want in household water pipes!
I'm certain concrete workers don't need to go to the gym! I'm exhausted just watching all that work. I hope they make good money. When we built a house about 40 years ago they were just putting the finishing touches on the garage floor and my son, who was not quite 2, opened the door that led to the garage and ran the full length of the garage leaving footprints. I still feel so bad for the worker who had to go back and fix it
The expose concrete corner s act as a heat dump, you can verify with a thermo camera !
ALL the beast !
Thanks to All workers for sharing their skills!
This has been fascinating to watch this whole process. I love watching you Matt do your magic on wood, but watching people that know what they are doing is amazing
Good concreting and plastering are like magic. It's amazing
