Heard about you from Perkins Brothers. Awesome content👍 I constantly hear you talk about the physical side of things, but for me it has always been the mental side that has gotten to me working in construction. Theres NOTHING worse than working with people with a poor attitude day in and day out. The constant profanity laced complaining, the screaming matches between owners / supervisors / employees, dishonest work (do it but don't tell the client, or make sure they don't see you), straight up dishonesty being told to bill for things that were never done, etc.. Its refreshing to see there are people working in this trade that have standards, integrity, professionalism, are goal and team oriented, and actually care about what they are doing. 👍👍

Man you guys make it look easy. So satisfying to watch and a testament to why "smooth is fast." I don't know why so many Carpenters refuse to work smarter not harder. It's like your less of a man if you don't destroy your body. Only to go home to self-medicate and then complain about it. lol

Laid back and relaxed are words I never would have associated with concrete. My early days in the trades were working for a contractor who was pretty laid back most of the time. His customers trusted him enough pay based on time and materials. Most days during a project he would show up around 10 with coffee, spend five minutes checking with his brother on how things were going and another five or ten talking to the homeowner. Even those rare times when he was actually working on the site there wasn’t any real push to work faster, just a nice steady pace. The exception was any time we were getting concrete. The he was like a man possessed. I’m not sure how much was from having to wait for the truck to show up and how much was from not wanting to pay the surcharge for taking too long to unload the mixer

Smallest diameter concrete hose I ever saw. We used to use a reducer and put a 4" hose on the end. Nobody was holding that with one hand. We used a rope and a hook made of rebar to control the nozzle and a couple guys behind with hooks to move the hose around - and it was heavy. Took muscle to yank that thing around. Man, that pour was a piece of cake. No help needed to move the hose around. Concrete flowed so nicely that no vibrator was used. No hard raking. Things have sure changed in the last few years. We had tshirts that said "Concrete: go hard or go home".

Blow-out warning! (Or at least "form creepage" warning.) When you form your step-downs, the fluid concrete exerts pressure against the forms on one side, and against the earth on the other. The earth is not going to move, but the 'face' form of your step-down might--bringing all the attached formwork along with it. This is especially true if the step-down is taller, and the footer runs at the top and bottom are short (see 15:05 in the video) Think of it this way... Your step-downs are essentially "walls" with wood formwork on one side and the soil on the other. You need the same restraint as you get from snap-ties in wall forms--except in this case the snap-ties need to anchor into the soil on that side of the "wall." Obviously you did okay on this pour, but if it was me I'd want to put some 2x4 kickers at the step-downs.... otherwise you might find your forms getting pushed downhill.

We usually cut the tops of those verticle stakes off below form line so we don't have to screed around them, and so we're not tempted to reuse old stakes. Would be pretty easy for you guys to do right after you raise the forms to grade.

Please explain why you form footing instead of digging into ground, I’m assuming you are up in the north west of country, it’s the only place I’ve seen this done.

Not really an expert here, but I’d guess they don’t have a frost level to put it below, so it’s cheaper to just form the footing vs dig it out. Would love to hear a more authoritative answer on this though

Really enjoyed this episode (been following for some time). As I get ready to tackle my own gnarly footer/foundation project here on a mountain in Japan, I've picked up so many pointers from your videos. Especially that gap between bottom of 2x12 and the ground. *That* was surprising and informative. And the mix ratio was especially helpful (though I have to translate it to megapascals or whatever...). Cheers from Shimoda!

So where I live we usually vibrate the concrete to get rid of air bubbles. I'm not so sure we'd be able to just ignore those 2 inch gaps on the bottom... But no worries, all our foundations are poured in prefabricated styrofoam forms anyway.

Good job you guys Ryan you are a animal you make that job look easy. And as far as getting a perfect yield on your concrete is if you dig your forms in and that's too much work. But in the end we all know the owner pays for the concrete so who cares right

say 16 yds went into the footings which are 18" x 8" that gives 432 feet of footings. If a triangle of height 2.5" and base 2.5" leaks out the bottom of the footing that adds up to a volume of ~0.7 yd which is a lot of 5 gallon buckets :)

Howdy. I just found you and really appreciate your narrative and work/production methods. I am trying to learn about concrete because I plan on building a house and I already know how to do all the other shit. However, there was one thing I was curious about - which was what was the slump and air temperature, as well as location? I only ask this because I live in Portland Maine where folders need to be at least 36 inches below grade, and there’s also foundation drainage issues and requirements. Thanks very much and stay safe. Oh yeah I’m subbed!

Acho muito estranho gastar tanto concreto aparentemente à toa, porque as vigas foram criadas à flor da terra, sem armações de vergalhões. Pior: não há estacas/pilares para suportar as vigas baldrames, nem sapatas e o terreno parece ser um aterro instável. Como resultado, tudo o que for construído por sobre esta "base" certamente ficará instável, etc. Enfim, mesmo não sendo do ramo da construção civil, achei fraca esta apresentação, que não me causou boa impressão - antes pelo contrário!
