Mike, I have been watching there's video's just before you informed us all that you had finished working. I have enjoyed all of your video's. Thank you.
Mike, you might want to consider using a channel drain at the end of the new concrete apron. You could have the drain run under your driveway to prevent ice buildup in the winter during thaw and freeze cycles. I work for a stormwater drainage manufacturer, so I may be a little biased. :)
I always enjoy videos that I can learn at the same time. You and other creators have help me understand the proper way of moving dirt and preparing a site. Thanks very much Mike. You are a great teacher.
Hey Mike! You are working harder now that your retired than you ever did at your last job. I too as a newly retired person am finding myself with all kinds of projects & of course new tools to accomplish them. Nice work on the concrete prep. I’ve learned so much from YINZ while watching your channel. Thank y’all! Stay safe Have a day!
Good morning to everyone on Morgan’s Mountain. Sure looks great around there Mike. We are all so happy that you have come along this far with your “ I’m going to make a video and post it on TH-cam “ idea. Keep up the good work and videos, you’re doing a fantastic job. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋
Morning Morgans and friends. Hope everyone had a great weekend. I see a poured driveway in the future. Things are really shaping up Mike. Have a day and we'll see ya down the road.....
I'm sitting here in my cave on a PC, 100% volume and didn't hear the Bosch beep. My other 1/2 comes in from the kitchen, "What the heck is that noise" ? Anyone reading this that works in a loud environment should be sure to wear Hearing protection ! Love your progress and all the videos.
Good luck on the last pour. The best part of diy projects is getting the new tools from the savings and keeping them for future jobs. The winter build out will be fun.
Another great video, before you know it you’ll be sitting on the patio watching your children and grandchildren playing and swimming in Melissa’s pool.
Mike I subscribed to the Hauses channel when you introduced them to us and have been enjoying their videos. Thanks. Your place and building look so good. It was good to see Melissa out working in the concrete. Lol. We enjoyed and learned a lot from the video. 👍👍👍❤️
I see a strong similarity between your mom’s driveway and the end of you concrete. That’s a lot of water not to expect some wash out, like others have said a drain line at the end would help a great deal. Either way I’m seriously jealous of your setup, you have everything going your way. Really looking nice.
Looking good! I want to be the salesman that gets a percentage of the “ stone purchases” you have made since I’ve been watching!! Mike, you do love your stone!!! Lol
Mike I will tell you if I was to have anything done at my place I would like to have a person like you do it. You pay so much attention to detail. I said the other day I am working on a Kubota side by side rebuilding the front differential and I must say Kubota is very easy to work on it only took me 30 minutes to have that differential on my bench. I changed one on a polaris ranger and and it took me about 3 hours to get it out.
Great job ! Morgan’s …. Looks like massive progress since last year about the time you went west in vacation. Those whiskers are coming along great. Those grandchildren will have something to run their hands through this Christmas ( I guess they will figure out Santa doesn’t travel in a sleigh but on a Kabota).. ha ha. It looks like someone snuck a few tons of limestone back on the hill again. The down side to all of those concrete slabs is there won’t be anymore reason for anymore 2A limestone 😂. Project really looks great and it’s a pleasure watching it grow.
Not on the concrete topic but I had my FIRST BRONCO sighting today on the highway (or anywhere). Gray four door with regular plates on it driving on the interstate just below Louisville, KY.
Another notch in the cement gun! I am sorry you aren’t live streaming right NOW! We could be seeing this evolution wrap up!! Marcus from Chesapeake VA.
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans thanks! I was hoping you would mention it in this episode after noticing it last episode. It will break up the concrete nicely.
Mike, I've been doing concrete/carpentry for 28 yrs and I'm curious y u want to let the ground dry out? Water is your best friend when compacting. Also why are u taking material out to put rock in as fill that you have to pay for? Cheers from Canada!😁🔨🇨🇦
Wow, that's a huge pile of dirt/gravel mix to move down to the renewable processing area. You know Mike, I had no idea of the different styles of concrete until this build. Thank you for opening my eyes. I subscribed to the Hausses channel and have learned a lot! Yet another piece if property to be very proud of by you and your family for many years to come. I should also include that good looking beard you have! After I watched that video from Ford, I thought you'd have heard something by now. Well, good things are worth waiting for! Probably a good thing, you're too busy right now to be out joy riding in your new Bronco anyway. We're having a second day of rain here in Hickory NC. We needed it though. Thanks for this great video, such a nice way to start the day!👍🚜❤
How do you know with your yard if the grade has changed over time? Mine is 20 years old and I feel the water flow across some areas with mature trees in play has made the drainage change. Who would you contact to check that ? How would you know what to ask them?
The beard is looking good Mike, I started mine at retirement since I was never allowed to grow one as police officer. Now I have grown mine since 2006. LOL Keep it it looks good on you and since now Ford is having to redo leaking tops seems like you may have for awhile anyway.
Good morning Mike! Everything is coming along nicely. I hope to have a nice shop someday, probably a bit smaller because I only have just over 5 acres to work with. Have a great day!
Mike, I enjoy watching you work. You Git er done but you do it right. That's some pretty puppy dogs y'all have. Couldn't tell in ff but they look like Golden retrievers. I have two golden retrievers myself. Charlie and Jackson are their names. Well, keep videoing, I am watching. 👍🆒
As always a good explanation of the how and why. Always a pleasure learning new things Mike. Mike do you have any video before the project started? I think all your subscribers would be amazed at what it looked like before the project got started and now. Be safe and have a great day.
You might want to consider a drain of some type at the end of that slab. You had trouble with ice on the driveway last year. And, I thought some erosion problems along the driveway as well. That hard surface is going to compound your problem I think.
Great job mike!, glad to see the concrete getting done!, now all you need is a new Bronco in the drive!, I wont mention the pool !, lololo!. Morgans have a day!.
Mike, I have been watching there's video's just before you informed us all that you had finished working. I have enjoyed all of your video's. Thank you.

Your bucket jiggle is great! Good touch!
Beards looking good Mike. You'll be ready for winter hunting in no time.
Wish I could find someone like you to help with my driveway. It's a lot of work good job Mike.
Hard working Mike. Kudos brother.
I always enjoy videos that I can learn at the same time. You and other creators have help me understand the proper way of moving dirt and preparing a site. Thanks very much Mike. You are a great teacher.
Thanks a lot Rick!
Bronco Bread looking good!
Nice work Mike, I've really enjoyed following this project bro. Morgan.
Thank you.
Much appreciated!
Love your cautious work with the excavator.
Good video. I use the same exact laser level
agree channel drain...great job everyone!... thanks 4 video. be kind.
Good morning Hunter :-) and family and friends :-)
Good morning BadCat! Have a great day!!
@@marcuswhite3628 / Thanks Marcus , you as well :-)
Morning Badcat! Morning Marcus!
I think the Mrs. would love a little patch of posies there by the latest pour that you "forgot" to fill in. LOL Great jobs! Thanks for sharing.
Watching you on that machine never gets old. If I tried to drag that bucket back level, I’d be halfway to China on the first try.
Hey Mike!
You are working harder now that your retired than you ever did at your last job.
I too as a newly retired person am finding myself with all kinds of projects & of course new tools to accomplish them.
Nice work on the concrete prep. I’ve learned so much from YINZ while watching your channel. Thank y’all!
Stay safe
Have a day!
Thank you Jack! I agree completely with you
I'm the same way I retired 2 months ago and with all the stuff going on I don't know how I had time to go too work!
Mike, this is a nice video! Precision work with that large bucket and you are almost finished with concrete!
Have a great day!
Good morning to everyone on Morgan’s Mountain. Sure looks great around there Mike. We are all so happy that you have come along this far with your “ I’m going to make a video and post it on TH-cam “ idea. Keep up the good work and videos, you’re doing a fantastic job. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋
Thanks a lot Fred! Always love seeing you here
Plate compactor work is critical for a good slab. Couldn't believe Melissa did not rush out of the house to do it.
🤣🤣🤣
😆
Lol
Morning Morgans and friends. Hope everyone had a great weekend. I see a poured driveway in the future. Things are really shaping up Mike. Have a day and we'll see ya down the road.....
Thank you. Appreciate it
Morning Michael. Great weekend here. Beautiful weather. Hope all is good with you and family
The beard and the building are looking good 👍
Looks great Mike 🇺🇲 The building is coming along
Thanks Thomas
hi mike looks good nice.have a good one.
Nice looking beard you got growing Mike!! 😁. As always, your "Mastery" of the excavator amazes me!! The building project is phenomenal!!
Looking good mike
Another good video!! We’re getting a light rain just north of you. Hopefully the rain holds off your direction and you were able to pour that slab.
I'm sitting here in my cave on a PC, 100% volume and didn't hear the Bosch beep. My other 1/2 comes in from the kitchen, "What the heck is that noise" ? Anyone reading this that works in a loud environment should be sure to wear Hearing protection ! Love your progress and all the videos.
Beard is coming in great 👍!
Good luck on the last pour. The best part of diy projects is getting the new tools from the savings and keeping them for future jobs. The winter build out will be fun.
Agreed. Thanks Ed
Mike, you are pretty slick at operating equipment
Hey Grizzly Morgan... The Beards looking good!
Good morning Mike The place is looking great God bless you and your family
Thanks Barry, same to you and your family!
Another great video, before you know it you’ll be sitting on the patio watching your children and grandchildren playing and swimming in Melissa’s pool.
Lookin Good Mike !! The Beard and The Concrete!! As Well as For The Concret Prep Work!! You Do An Awesome Job!! 👍👊
Thanks Russell
Watching and learning!
Thank you
Everything’s shaping up very nicely Mike! Love your videos, keep them rolling!
I've reminded him about sleeves from the start ,he seldom installs them ( Melissa said he was stubborn LOL ! )
Waitin for the time lapse of this entire project.A year in review
That’d be cool
Really enjoyed this one Mike. Thanks.
Thanks William
Coming together!
Mike I subscribed to the Hauses channel when you introduced them to us and have been enjoying their videos. Thanks. Your place and building look so good. It was good to see Melissa out working in the concrete. Lol. We enjoyed and learned a lot from the video. 👍👍👍❤️
I noticed a small section near the man door that is separate from the last slab. What is planned there?
Most likely an area for shrubs etc
Your Bronco beard is lookin good😎
Looking great Mike!🙏🎚🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
Thank you!

Mike when you pulled up to that camera you were so gentle about pulling back that bucket that was amazing
Thank you Rebecca
Bosch is a bad ass brand you can't go wrong with it
Good morning from Upstate South Carolina. The man can even spread stone well with an excavator. Nice work Mike. Have a productive day.
Thanks Tommy
I like your new video today you did a really good jop it is looking really nice you are doing a goid jop on your shops love your video
We pulled out a piece of concrete that size today with a guardrail post around it.
the Ford beard is coming in nice. building is looking great. have a great day.
Thanks Mark!
Seems like the compactor & the Excavator are paying for themselves!
Mike didn't you notice the door elevation difference when doing the patio's just thinking.
Looking good! I want to be the salesman that gets a percentage of the “ stone purchases” you have made since I’ve been watching!! Mike, you do love your stone!!! Lol
Lol

Thanks Bradley I appreciate that a lot. Also that’s very interesting to hear. Thanks for sharing that
What is the cutout on the new pour for?
What is the radiused section of the form near the overhead door? It looks like you will have a missing section if you pour to that form.
What is the spot for where you dident concrete next to the garage door? It has the arc form on it.
Mike what is the purpose of the cut out by the big door. Great job on the concrete. Looks fantastic
Mike,
The area you did not put concrete would be an awesome spot for a massive flag pole. To fly the RED WHITE AND BLUE
Yep, those laser levels are handy! I bought a Johnson at about the same price, works great.
What's with the area in between the man door and garage door? Did he mention why the concrete doesn't go all the way?
Hi Mike, what’s going on with the little arced form near the patio?
Most likely an area for shrubs etc.
Will plant something there
The project has come a long way since last summer when you rented the KX-080 and started removing trees.
Definitely has. Thanks!
Great job ! Morgan’s …. Looks like massive progress since last year about the time you went west in vacation. Those whiskers are coming along great.

Good morning 🌞 from Virginia Beach!
Good morning Jack! You got here just before me. Hoping for things to cool off - maybe?
Morning Jack!
Can we see inside now concrete is done Mike please 👍🏻
Not on the concrete topic but I had my FIRST BRONCO sighting today on the highway (or anywhere). Gray four door with regular plates on it driving on the interstate just below Louisville, KY.
First again! Building is looking great. I’m starting to believe the pool delay was a good thing! Enjoy the channel and thanks for the great content.
Thanks Butch
LOVE THE BEARD!!
Bronco or not I think you should keep it…… Ask your viewers what they think??
Love your content and channel
You always do good work buddy!
Thank you Ted
I’ve got sticks and branches all over my property from those high winds!
Mike why did you make the concrete the same thickness inside an outside an why no frost ftg out side
looking good...
Thank you Eric
Did you hear any more about the pool?
How many times have you added stone ,planed it took some off it around that building mike ?
Another notch in the cement gun! I am sorry you aren’t live streaming right NOW! We could be seeing this evolution wrap up!! Marcus from Chesapeake VA.
Thanks Marcus
Morning Mike. What is the curved portion of the form for by the building?
Probably a little area for shrubs etc.
Will plant something there
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans thanks! I was hoping you would mention it in this episode after noticing it last episode. It will break up the concrete nicely.
I would put another one to match out next to the out side just leave room to walk to keep not to drive on the patio
I liked the music kinda surfie kinda western like 70s for sure
Hey Mikey.
Digging the beard!!
Have a Day!
Hey Hunter!
Thanks Patrick
Mike, I've been doing concrete/carpentry for 28 yrs and I'm curious y u want to let the ground dry out? Water is your best friend when compacting. Also why are u taking material out to put rock in as fill that you have to pay for? Cheers from Canada!😁🔨🇨🇦
Excellent questions. Mike is just a tad ocd about dirt and rock. Should have got the grade right before building the barn. First things first.
Motor Mike moves more dirt from pointA to B and then B to point C and then repeat that several more times. I believe he just likes digging.
Wow, that's a huge pile of dirt/gravel mix to move down to the renewable processing area. You know Mike, I had no idea of the different styles of concrete until this build.

Love the show! 💯👍🏻🌞
Whst is the space that us frame up where the two pad meets fir uour pour on Monday just was wondering
Will plant something there
Good morning Mike! Everything is coming along nicely. I hope to have a nice shop someday, probably a bit smaller because I only have just over 5 acres to work with. Have a great day!
Thanks Dale. Hope that happens for you.
So wher do u stand on the building budget are u over yet
Good morning all. Mike what that gonna be in the corner of the slab already poured and the one your gonna pour? I see form radius there.
Most likely an area for shrubs etc
Will plant something there
Oh ok 👍
Mike are you going to take off the point of concrete on outside corner? That would be the first thing to crack?
Yes, it should of been rounded
Mike if your bronco doesn’t come in soon your family may start calling you Santa. Thanks for the videos
Mike, I enjoy watching you work. You Git er done but you do it right. That's some pretty puppy dogs y'all have. Couldn't tell in ff but they look like Golden retrievers. I have two golden retrievers myself. Charlie and Jackson are their names. Well, keep videoing, I am watching. 👍🆒

Thanks David. We do have videos up before we started.
That beard is filling in real good. Melissa might want you to keep it even after the Bronco gets here! Keep up the good work with your videos!
Lol we will see. Thanks
Good morning everyone 🌞🌎🌞👍
Morning Evan

Mike, what is the curved part by the door and why?
What model laser are you using? Do you have a link for it? I'm about to start building a 30x40 shop and need a laser. Thanks.
The rock delivery company has been popping champagne for the last six months
Lol
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans what can I say, as old carpenter I'm addicted to these rocks rolling around in my head
Great job mike!, glad to see the concrete getting done!, now all you need is a new Bronco in the drive!, I wont mention the pool !, lololo!. Morgans have a day!.
Lol thanks
