- We concreted half of the workshop 2 years ago, and never finished it... at long last we brought in a ready mix to finally have a fully functioning space. The first test will be building itself a new door - subscribe so you don't miss it!

hopefully you'll know that I try not to get in the way of the videos much... but - if you've watched a few of these I'd really appreciate you subscribing. it helps me and the channel out so much and thanks to everyone who has done so already!
Good job!
Terrific job mate ! I see the gate is holding up great, keep these awesome videos coming.
amazing friend
where are you from, i just like your works perfect
i would like to join with you
Boy, your dad really is an expert at backing up with a trailer. Kudos.
That was one hell of a good piece of trailer driving
It really was!
Just the precision... Amazing!
Makes me want to sell my trailer....
I thought the same.
Yeah, I noticed that too! Couldn't slip a sheet of paper in between on either side of the door.
Reversing the trailer so eloquently into the doorway 2" wider than the trailer was quite impressive!
It is fun and a pleasure to watch a craftsman who really knows what he's doing, and this video was just that. Thanks for posting.
his dad avoids the camera
The trailer reversals were stupendous and the floor beautifully worked as always !! What a difference that space will make for you. xx
Ya could have dumped some of the hard core onto the trailer.
It's great! My shed has been completed and it turned out nice looking and sturdy and it is way better than the sheds that many of my neighbors had put up. Of course, I'm pleased with the outcome and this Ryan's th-cam.com/users/postUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans was extremely useful to me as a guide.
Several years ago I laid a concrete floor for a veranda on the side of my barn. After spending hours trowelling it and making it look perfect I went to sit down on a chair and admire my work. In order to sit down I had to move a pile of folded up plastic sheeting!!!
I don't have the experience to understand why you get the dislikers but I must say that you should be commended for your crafting and helping your folks. Really enjoy your videos, please post more, I'm learning a lot. Thanks
Very good job! Excellent concrete floor! In Russia, white marble fine crushed stone is added, after hardening, it is polished, it turns out very beautiful!
You worked very hard on that project! The driver backing the trailer into the barn deserves a medal, especially as he had to turn in through the hanger, but why did you use polythene? You can easily specify waterproof in the ready mix for very little extra money and no weldmesh? The cuts through the surface are essential, and not something the "professional" floor layers usually do in France, there is a plastic form you can use which gives you a screed surface to level off to and acts as an expansion joint, it shows a narrow white line when finished, I find the ready mix drivers here in France are really helpful when they deliver, not like the UK drivers that will just dump off the concrete, they are more than willing to lend a hand, as your driver did, I did think you would end up with paw prints in your new trowelled finish floor! Stay safe ! Chris B.
Great bit of driving reversing the trailer through that very tight doorway👍
First class reversing
As a new subscriber, I enjoy watching you and your Dad work on this old barn. I love the cadence of your narrating, it feels like story telling.
Here are some suggestions for safety: always wear a dust mask when making dust (concrete or wood), wear eye and ear protection, wear gloves when cutting the control joints using the grinding wheel. Please note, I'm not calling you out on any of these items, this is more of a general statement overall when working construction projects.
As a suggestion for setting pieces of rebar into adjoining concrete to prevent uplift/heave, drill the hole about twice the diameter of the bar, thoroughly clean the hole of dust, inject the hole with 2-part epoxy, insert the steel reinforcing bar.
Great work. Keep the videos coming.
That trailer reversal through the doorway got my sub. I actually shouted out loud when I saw that.
My thoughts exactly. Awesome trailer skills.
I was like “Wow. That’s really tight.”
So the best part for me is the pride taken in doing the job, never under estimate a dad's knowledge and your willingness to take on the task ahead. Honestly Well done😉
I have watched a few of your videos now. It is an absolute treat to watch Craftsman who take pride in their work. Thank you for going to the effort of filming , editing and sharing these videos. Your edits are perfect. Keeps my interest all the way , never once leaving me bored or wanting to skip ahead. And the amount of effort and detail you and your dad / family put into the projects you tackle is astounding. True masters of your craft. Well done.
I love work. I can sit and watch it all day! 👍🏻😊😷🙏🏽🦘
Yo that mixer pump combo was awesome
So jealous you have a wonderful shop, love the video style as well. Precise without a lot of fluff. You are creating a truly special home with tons of character and special craftsmanship.
Laying concrete, fond memories of workin on our house as a teen with dad !!!!!! Great Job !!!!
Omg! You are the Don!!! I have some concrete coming tomorrow 8m x 4m and I am defo gonna use your dad's contraption and I've never even thought about the kingspan as a kneeling bridge 🙌🏼 stumbled on this video last thing AMAZING 👏🏼 THANK YOU 🤜🏼❤🤛🏼
A nice smooth finish! Nice to see you back in France!
Nice to see the Rover at home!
Love it.Love the workshop/carport area.Just beautiful.
I appreciate your work .I a several months ago poured part of my shop floor roughly 20x 25 . Had to build up by hand with gravel about 5 inches .
Great results of hard work! I really like how meticulous you are with each part of the project. You do not cut corners and you take your time to do the job right. That type of work ethic means all your projects will stand the test of time. Great job!
This is amazing and this farmhouse is so beautiful! Looking forward to watching you continue to restore it.
It's been too long since your last video! Always love the relaxing sound of the wind chimes and your lovely dog!
Once again, excellent videotography showing pristine workmanship. Fantastic.
Honestly, can't wait to see what you do with that door. I'm sure you've got something beautiful in mind.
Enjoy all your videos, a very talented team. Keep up the great work, can’t wait for the next one. Thank you for sharing👍👍
As usual, top quality. Nice job lads.
I love the way of building en rebuilding! Clear goal and with the precision of a sniper. I learn a lot and it is relaxing.
Well done. A nice tidy job. Very well thought out and worked well. Great bit of trailer reversing through the tight doorway.
That is hands-down one of the coolest shops on TH-cam you guys did a great job you and your dad are extremely talented craftsman
Great work and perfection ! Like it and looking forward to see the door being renovated.
Cheers
I enjoy your videos, and am in awe of the ability to back that trailer!
Wow!! Que diferencia!!! En hora buena amigos. Ahora a esperar el proxímo video 😀.
Le mando saludos desde Querétaro,México 👋
I have really enjoyed watching you guys work on this project and it makes want to find a project like this to restore back to its original. Great job guys.
Always enjoy your videos 👍🏻
You are doing a great great job!!!! Congratulations!
Its been a long wait for this restoration video to come.... Thx
Nice job. The slump on that concrete was really good!
Awesome, as always.... ,, And I just love everything about that place.!! It's Beautiful..!
In every one of your videos that I watch, this young man is extremely amazing, he is multi-talented, how many things he knows how to do!
Thank you for your time and effort to make this video and share it with the world. Greetings from Croatia.
Great work, what impressed me the most was backing that trailer through the door gap... my gawd that’s a skill I will never possess! 👏🏻
Today i had to back my F350 through a tight door. Your video told me “i can do this!” (I did, no scratches)
One again, beautiful work!! Keep it up guys! 💪🏼
Merci Carlrogers pour toutes tes vidéos. Je te suis depuis le début de l'aventure, et je te remercie de partager tout ce savoir faire. Bonne chance sur tes futurs projets.
That was a very skillful Trailer reverse into workshop fair play to the driver .Lovely place you have their best of luck with the rest of renovations
Very creative filming! Makes it a joy to watch!!
Amazing, that you share such practical knowledge, that's real blessing!
Great job! Well thought out and executed.
You guys did a great job with the prep work for the concrete slab & you smoothed it out nice after it was poured. Another job completed & off the list!
the digging out was hard work
Working with your own is always a unique experience and there is always something to learn. You are good, a greeting!
A few months ago I told my wife that I would like to take part in the restoration of a French or Italian farm. I am an architect, but I also like to work with my hands. Now I have enjoyed watching a lot on your channel. Maybe I can help you with something as an architect, do not hesitate to contact me.
My back aches just watching you guys work!
You should have bull-floated it. The bull float helps to push down the aggregate so it makes it easier to trowel and get a nice smooth surface. It also helps the job go quicker.
Fantastic work to recover a great space to become in workshop man !!!! 👍👏👍👏👍 congratulation
Because of the LR and you UK guys preserving a French farm, thumbs up. Keep up the good work. Ilike the "not so much talk" about your videos.
GORGEOUS Workshop!
glad your back i miss your vids great job cant wait for more be safe
Another cool episode of an epic transformation!
Wonderful reversing, totally impressed. Love the Festool tools, also an advocate of these although expensive. Very knowledgeable for what seems to be quite a young guy, and I'm sure your Father is also very knowledgeable and super useful. Keep up the good work.
if only i had the festool guy on speed dial , too, not hating, just good old envy
@David Colleavy- For sure!
Dang that turned out awesome. Looks really professional.
great as always 👍
I'm looking forward to the next video with the door
Carl, You’re one of my absolute favorite channels - just publish more. Please :)
Carl, another great video. thank you
Lovely job! And looking fw to the new door!
You are the best, I absolutely love your videos! Greetings from Vienna
I love your content. Your dad is amazing. What a fantastic craftsman.
Fascinating renovation all together.
Excellent looking forward to the door already John 🏴
Вы удивительные создатели, такое старинное восстановить можно , столько труда и усилий , успеха !
I love hard work, I could watch it all day
Thank you Sir!!!! Long time no see...You made me a happy puppy!! Best regards!
good to be back!
Was waiting for the 50 percent horsehair, 50 percent nylon broom to come out :-)
My man David Odell got you!!!
Wow the concretetruck with the installed concretepump is great! Never saw one of these before...
Just commenting to keep the alco-rhythm happy.
Can you come and do this on my videos please? 😂 I've not been picked up by the algo yet 😒
I Know rebar is not always needed. But it is not a big expense, that is why I always use it. But each does what they think is right for the situation. Great finished result. I love to see plastic under concrete, don't know why it is not standard practice for everyone.
Would be good to control cracks just running a sheet of mesh at the 50mm high in the slab
whoever was driving that pick-up and trailer has some real reversing skills getting it through that barn door in one go with mere inches of clearance i doth my cap to you sir
Nice job. Pretty impressive driving skills too.
Excellent work! Very satisfying video to watch
The most impressive thing is how you avoided to have cat's paw prints on the slab.
yes, a concrete floor without a cat's paw (or dog) isn't a real concrete floor ;)
i have several small slabs i've laid in the last 20 years, every damn one has cat paw prints.
.
RIP Kira & Sox cats, gone but never forgotten.
Caught up from 2017 great interest
A joy to watch. Really nice job!
Love the house, the motorcycle, the old Jeep and the marvelous doggo 😁
Great job. Brings back a lot of memories for me in pouring concrete.
Coming from someone who has made the mistake too, please please PLEASE wear a mask when cutting, drilling or grinding concrete. It makes so much nasty fine dust that you inhale and can really be terrible for your health. I always used to have the idea of "just get things done", but now after learning my lesson on numerous occasions, it is so worth taking the extra few minutes to properly and safely do a job! Great video man, keep up the good work.
That's a lot of love for a workplace floor.
Is there anything you don't know how to do! The thing is you do everything so professionally. Kudos and bravo to you. What a joy to witness. God Bless.....
Great work, and nice transformation
Love the Land Rover in the video...perfect farm vehicle. Stunning work u guys are doing
Pretty Interesting process. Thanks for sharing.
I was going to ask about the walls and how they looked rough, but then you have another video.. on "Pointing stone walls"..
which I've heard that term before, so. .. that explains that.
the landscape and scenery is beautiful
Great job, but who's surprised? Everything you guys tackle turn out great! I too was impressed with the trailer backing skills. Someone has had a lot of practice.
Excellent job to achieve such a great finish 🇬🇧🇮🇪.
these videos are excellent. thank you
Love the color of that fresh concrete..nice job.
