A wise person once said that you only need to know two things to do a good concrete job. 1) Where you want the concrete placed. 2) The phone number of somebody with experience that can put it there for you.
That should be the next t-shirt for you all… “Spread Legged and prolapsed” that might be one of his best lines ever.
Duggo is the gift that keeps giving. He just gets better and better
Just a tip guys. Oil the concrete side of your forms. Makes it much easier to remove once it sets up.
I fully agree as my father taught me the same thing
We always used a little diesel fuel
Or attatch (got it right?) some plastic to the form with a staplegun...
Old oil or creosote....just like the guys comments below....
No, they need the struggle bus to come by.
Nothing better than pouring concrete. It produces such a nice finished product that if done properly will last you lifetime. I like to hand mix it with a stand mixer for smaller jobs like sidewalks and patios. One thing Dougo forgot to tell them is you can get severe chemical burns from wet cement so try to limit direct exposure to your skin as much as possible.
Someone forget all about Toby. He didn't get to put paw prints in the concrete.
Great video guys. 👍👍
Well check you and Eric and Brody all got a good workout slapping the concrete around
We have some bin floors that need to be poured. Is your cement crew looking for work ??? I bet the answer is “ we are booked for the next 3 years “. Those cement guys make it look so so easy. 🤗👍.
Great job crew 👍👍👍
Never saw guys stay so clean pouring concrete. Good job.
Look at the number of people who commented before watching the whole video. Farmyard Foreman Toby did all the hard work.
Heck I’ve done it for 46 years and you guys do better than most that call themselves professionals one thing cement is a powder cement is the mix not picken on you just so you know then you are just as good
I’ve poured thousands of yards of concrete. And this was a difficult pour. Mr. Chet supervised a great job.
Dougo let all know, right off, that Chet was working. And they weren’t. Love it.
It's always fun to pour concrete
Keep up the good work
First class operation
Chet watching you today work that concrete. In 1960 my Dad his brothers aunts uncles & wives poured dads basement with 8 potable cement mixers ,8 wheelbarrows . Men running to pour their concrete & the ladies tamping From morning till dark basement walls 8 inches thick. & 8 feet high. To this day no leaks & still standing . After 65 years they just sold the house to retire in town Fun watching you guys work Oh by the way it doesn’t get totally dark up in northern Canada till after midnight sometimes later in the summer Great work by the way. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Now thats a workout.
Good boys you put expansion strip in around the Bin pads👍👌
“Spraddle legged and prolapsed” Lmao 🤣
Great video Chet Dougo and Big Swede also Brody
And here comes all the concrete experts and GO
The banter is priceless.
Chip, what you refer as Cement is actually called Concrete. Cement, sand, gravel and water is what concrete is made of.
Been commented many many times. He refuses to use the word concrete. Appears to be purposely messing with everyone that know and uses the correct names for things.
his name is Chet :)
No one really cares. Also, his name is Chet.
I’ve been holding back, I figured it really doesn’t matter. In my past life I had been a Quality Mgr. for a Ready-Mix operation, and to hear him talk was killing me. Lol it’s all good men carry on!
Always one of these guys.
Love it when Dougo "pulls out" those great comments! When will the prolapse video drop?
You guys did a good job on the concrete and I like the idea of little bob
Little bob is cool. With all that big gear yall got. Makes it look even smaller. Lol
Apparently Concrete dries from the bottom up , Love your videos stay safe all of you
Glad Merlin is there. Someone needs to keep an eye on the crew.
Brodie is going to have to film taking Chet and Erik to the barbershop pretty soon.
Usually at this point I’ve got some lose lip talk about nibbles or safety but TWO THUMBS UP FOR THE CREAM TEAM that’s right you know what I’m talking about. Couldn’t help myself😎
Cement is what you buy in the sack, concrete is the wet stuff you put on the ground, masonry is the term for laying bricks. Love the channel and content, bless you Eric for working with Chet lol.
@@howardrich408 Number one you say the man is ignorant. Look at your spelling and grammar as it is really bad. "Use" is incorrect if you meant to say you have or you've got it really wrong. The so is not needed. If you belonged to a masonry union you did work with brick, block, and stone and the construction of buildings with these products, you were a bricklayer. If you did concrete flat work, you would belong to the cement mason's union. Although related they are not the same. I am a retired masonry foreman, superintendent with 40 years under my belt. We didn't cross the line on jobs we stuck with our specialty. I do know how to do flatwork as I have seen enough of it done and I have done it on my own projects. Local 8 Illinois.
Thanks Cliff Clavin!
@@Bricky-gs3lp well I'm sorry if I ruffled your feathers and the person doesn't know what he's talking about and I apologize about my spelling that's why I became a mason God made me a person that was to work physically and not mentally but I am proud of what I accomplish in my lifetime when I can drive up and down the streets and roads of my communities and cities and see what I built with my hands I am proud of that
@@howardrich408Rich you didn't ruffle my feathers. You missed the whole point. You felt entitled enough to be able to call the man ignorant because he didn't know something, but you don't know how to spell or use grammar. The main point is teach someone the correct way but don't call them ignorant, or stupid, ugly, or dumb. Be good to people. You didn't like it when a foreman was all over your butt. Also being able to lay brick is an art, I did it for over 40 years and I also see many homes, schools, and hospitals I have built, and it does give me pride. One of my mottos was that if it is worth doing do it right and take pride in your work. You didn't like it that I pointed out your shortcomings so how do you think the person felt that you called ignorant. Just because you work with your hands does not mean that you can't improve your mind. Be good to people, treat them as you would like to be treated. The Golden Rule.
Chet, Dougo, Eric and Brodie I drove a Ready Mix Truck for 18 years here in Michigan so I have seen acres of flat work done buy many who say they are professionals. You guys did a better job then alot of them, seriously. The slump of the concrete was perfect alot of contractors put to much water in it so it will be easier to place but the wetter it is the weaker it is. GREAT JOB.
My stepdad drives a mixer currently. They had a finisher they quit selling concrete to because they put too much water in it and then would want the concrete plant to pay to have it tore up and redone. The contractor I worked for out of high school who taught me concrete finishing told me about another finisher he knew that wouldn’t order a “20x40” or something like that and would put so much water in it they could pour an entire slab and never move the truck!
@@squintin480 yeah I have seen the same thing. To much water and it falls apart.
That concrete really works the fire out of you. It sure makes everything better though. Good job guys. 👍👍👍❤️
Keep safe guys
Chett you need a magnesium float!!! It makes the water come to the top to make a slurry to finish!
Concrete with the Hausses is an excellent TH-camr out of Pennsylvania. He works with his kids and they pour jobs 50 yards or less. Really awesome . Just like this channel is.
Should have had Ryan and his crew from Victory Outdoor Services come help you out! Would have been an amazing collab!
They “only” live 500 Miles apart 😂
Most people have a life outside of TH-cam. You should try it.
Hilarious seeing the comments below. Concrete is not easy by any means, and for the average Joe, you guys did great. Just make sure to put some relief cuts in the slab. Love the content and keep the misc shenanigans along with the farming content.........
Yep! Everyone is a keyboard concrete expert here on TH-cam. Sad really.
Also rather than cardboard you should have used expansion joint. It allows the concrete to expand and contract without damage.
Also caulk that joint so water dont go under and freeze and expand
What's typically used is felt which comes in rolls ... but like pittle life suggested caulk like your life depends on it and check it yearly ... water under all that work would be super sad............ not to mention expensive.
Chet - next time get the CONCRETE guys to put a water reducer add mix in for ya. It’ll give it flow, higher strengths workability. Worth the little cost added. Great job though keep it up!
Chett I see all the experts came out to correct everything you say SMDH, yall are doing a great job 👏
You guys did an awesome job! Looks great! Pay no attention to the haters!
Chet just wanted you to know you guys rock
Love watching you guys work. Everyone pitches in. That is a good feeling.
"eric was a gymnast in a former life.." ... given the visual to go with it.... a perfect caption mr. L
My stepdad drives a mixer. The first thing he says is it’s a concrete mixer, not a cement mixer. Cement is an ingredient in concrete lol. I poured 4 yards in July 2 years ago for a building pad for my sister and the only help I had was my 2 young nephews and the mixer driver. Needless to say I nearly died and it got away from me while finishing it, but it looked good enough for a build to sit on and for me to have not done concrete work for 12 years lol! Concrete finishers earn every penny!
Imagine doing that in south Florida! They used pump trucks for everything down here!
Those wings coming out of the sides of the Swede's hat are for blowing spilled corn into a pile. He just flaps those things..
Ditch bobcat man! I have a JCB teleskid and they would be perfect for around the farm.
Great video 👍 👍 Next time tell the driver to give it a drink before you pour. Add water so it's thinner. 👍👍
Looking good ,
A very productive crew on the job at the farm.
Bonjour, bravo à vous vous êtes capable de tout faire👌👍👏
One of the things I love most about Doug is that he can BS so well that he always sounds like he knows what he's talking about...even when evidence suggests otherwise (sorry Doug!) Lol 🤣
Easy to spot the laborers and the guys who ride around in tractors - bicep size :D
I have never figured out how concrete guys do it alll day every day!! Oh guys did a good job!
Great job guys
You guys do it all. 👍
Little Bob is so handy
You guys are good. ✅. Very smart. Save the Farm!!!!!!!
FYI rebar is a trade off in concrete, it rusts and expands causing the concrete to spalled but is needed where heavy load is carried. If rebar is needed it needs to be covered by at least 2" including the ends to prevent water from wicking in along it. Plastic coated rebar is becoming a standard and so is glass fiber rebar.
Yep waiting for the muck truck!
Great idea on your Screen board
It would have been some laugh if you went over to the big Sweed when he was straddling that gap and went "Tickle! Tickle!"
Looks good.
Whew! I thought you traded "Little Bob" away.
I hope you etched 2022 in the concrete somewhere.
Eric doing his Jean-Claude Van Damme imitation 🤪
Thanks for sharing all the things you do !
Hope you do well this harvest chet dugo and family looking forward to understanding how you do all and amazed of all your hard work
You know what they say. “If you can’t finish high school you can always finish concrete.” Lol
Great job poring concrete you guys did a awesome job. One more tip is to get a magnesium trowel it does a good job smoothing the concrete out. Boy that brings back memories I have done a lot of it.
I wouldn't worry about your new concrete slab getting wet. Concrete loves water. It will do your slab more good than bad.
Wow Chet Dougo Randy Eric and Broodie that was great loved Eric and his way of working the concrete different but another great job by the team you guys got it down .
Team Larson Farms! 💪👍🏼
you guys do every phase of work the right way from maintenance to concrete very nice this is coming from a 40 year concrete and demolition laborer great job
Thank you Dougo! It’s concrete. Cement is the binding property in concrete. It’s like asking someone if they want a piece of flower instead of cake. I swear you guys do it on purpose knowing all of us concrete guys are screaming at our phones. Lol
You mean Flour, the ground wheat product, not flower, the things your wife expects on your anniversary. Just since you're such a stickler for terms.
Damn it Siri, you are correct sir
That’s my story good sir.
The Big Swede works weekends stomping in bridge pilings for local construction companies.
Expansion joint brother, no cardboard next time. Nice job yall
Grandpa with a BRILLIANT excuse!!! Hahahha
Pouring ”cement” is like having a loaf of flour! Cement and flour are both powders used in making concrete and bread!
Thanks,Duggo, CONCRETE
TL12 skid loader is the best built and plus you can get a lot of accessories for it.
Thanks for sharing buddy
Concrete is the product that comes out of the truck - cement is the powder used to bind the aggregate.
I think you guys did a awesome job on the concret. Thank you so much
Has anyone commented on the wings the big swed had in the intro!! Jeez that guy has some flo going
Disclaimer: struggle bus! Chet said "it didn't turn out that bad, for farmers"
Great job men 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Good job guys 👍
If you pull the card board out get you some SL1 the seal between the concrete slabs so water does not get in the crack. The SL will let
the slabs move up and down and expand or contract with the weather but stay together and not let water get under your 4 inch slab. The
water getting under the small slab could make it crack over time with the cold weather you get. This stuff is self leveling so make sure you dam up the ends
of the concrete so it does not just run out.
Erik - that was an outstanding display of flexibility on 3 points... :)
Nice job for someone new at it!!
Concrete Chet, CONCRETE. Although the terms cement and concrete are often used interchangeably, cement is actually an ingredient of concrete. Concrete is basically a mixture of aggregates and paste. The aggregates are sand and gravel or crushed stone; the paste is water and portland cement. Concrete gets stronger as it gets older. Or if you prefer: Ready-mixed concrete is used in construction projects where the construction site is not willing, or is unable, to mix concrete on site. Using ready-mixed concrete means product is delivered finished, on demand, in the specific quantity required, in the specific mix design required.
Thank you for clarifying. I don’t think most people realize this
You sound like my son in law
He’s a mechanic for a concrete plant.
BUT having been in construction for 30+ years the terms are commonly interchangeable
Correct , cement actually is made up of 26 different chemicals and a great percentage is from Spain barged to America .🇺🇸
Like motor and engine. Drives me nuts.
@@chakagillis People use both interchangeably, but the difference is that motors run on electricity and engines run on combustion. The engine converts various forms of fuels into mechanical force, while the motor transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy.
Might I suggest watching a few episodes of 'Concrete with the Hauses'. Learn some short cuts.
Great video thanks
Have to get that small stuff done now because it won’t be too long and you’ll be harvesting. Tony fast agg is harvesting already👍🏼
wire mesh is so much easier than rebar for a slab that is not going to carry huge load stresses!
Ya and why's your shirt blue chet??😂😂😂 everybody always has something to say. You don't do concrete everyday so I don't expect you to be a professional at it. I personally watch your channel for enjoyment not to critique. Looks good and that's all that matters. Thanks for all the videos
concrete work is man builder job. a few hours of that and every other job looks easier. better you guys than me. God bless you guys and be safe
That was pretty interesting!! Beats the snot out of mixing it in a wheel barrow and hauling it around in buckets!! Still, it looks a LOT like work to me. The team work made it better. Nice job guys.
I love watching the hard work you guys you have done at the farm, keep up the good work and be safe🙏
You deserve a cold beer after this with this heat
Keep it up Boys. Great content
