I've carried enough buckets out of a basement to realize how they dig into your hand. I've found that slipping a 4" long piece of either 1/2" copper pipe or 3/4" PVC over the plastic bucket handle makes your hands happy. Just use channel locks to twist the metal out of the side of the bucket, slip pipe on and twist the metal back in the side of the bucket.
Great tip!
Big expense but I would’ve poured the bottom floor as well. Could do some really cool things with that space. I’d love to have that in my house. Would be awesome shop or extra storage, maybe even an elevator for golf cart size lowering and raising.
My Exact thought!
Might just be enough height downstairs to have a home cinema room
Nobody needs a three car garage. Are the owners racist ?
Probably didn’t want to pay another 4k for the floor and have the assessor increase their tax bill for another finished room
Cement is 175 a yard, add prep and labor your talking 25k minimum.
For the cost of that house it’s beyond my understanding why they didn’t pour concrete underneath that garage and use that space for something useful. Instead, they dug a big hole in the ground and did nothing bizarre.
Those steel beams would have been more money than back fill! LOL
Looks like someone's top secret dungeon
In my home I have a set of stairs to the basement directly from the garage. I cannot overemphasize how convenient that is for groceries, getting tools when I'm working in garage etc. Also provides a 2nd egress so I don't have the funky sunken security windows in the basement. The homeowner wasted an opportunity there in my opinion
Seriously was just thinking the same thing. A set of stairs would have been perfect to build in. Also should have poured the bottom in.
Seriously this. Or at the very least a manhole that could be used to later pour a concrete floor down below.
Tornado Bunker 😅
I know that guy had a Major expense with the garage floor, but I think I would have poured the floor underneath it also.
It was likely triple anyway for the upper floor. Also, I ordered a pair of those boots. I love them, they are very warm and keep your feet dry and are very comfortable. They came in handy here in Iowa the past several days.
I thought the same. Nice games room or cinema under there!
I agree I would have poured down below first then did the garage floor. Probably 5 times original estimate but for an extra room so be it.
I think cost was probably a factor but also, they would had to of removed all the temporary wood support walls to pour the basement floor than redid the walls before pouring the garage. Lots of extra time to do that.
I wonder if they maybe mentioned being able to run concrete thru a hose in the future? Just run the hose thru a garage floor drain.
@@ratspeedgarage Safe room, storm shelter, Dooms Day shelter LOL. But best of all---------MAN CAVE
I would have maybe added an access to the room below. It would have been minimal cost. They could have placed it in one of the back corners of the garage. That way if they ever wanted to pour the floor down there, they wouldn't have to pump the concrete through the house.
Since the basement room has HVAC tied to the rest of the house you absolutely do not want an opening into the garage.
@@wohnai could be sealed properly.
@@wohnai the hvac is capped under there
@@wohnai what you’re saying is “true” but it would be really helpful and even helpful to get materials into the room too. The building department freaks out about a vent to or from the garage but it’s really really not a big deal something bad enough for it to matter happening in the garage with or without a vent will still kill you and your family just as dead 💀
I'd think if the hmeowner later on wanted a floor poured later for that room floor, you could pull the drain cover and p-trap and pump concrete through there.
What an incredibly complex project! You can never say enough about the versatility, skill & work ethic of your crew.
In this day & age of worker apathy & lost skills; your team just shines above the others. Tom It is a credit to you with your appreciative, relaxed & inclusive management style that allows you to build & retain such a successful organization. This homeowner, while likely bummed out about the scope creep of this project, likely doesn't realize that this mess could have turned into a a 3 or 4 month nightmare with a half dozen different trade contactors falling over each other. Bill😁(42 years in const. mgnmnt)
Not to mention the potential added costs associated with the loss of two automobiles when the floor support failed.
Wow! The client has a huge new storm cellar/ man cave. This is too cool. Great job!
Hi Gentlemen, great work and what a surprise when the project began, huh?! My family and I have a hard good landscape supply business, as well as we manufacture concrete pavers of varying sizes for contractor and retail sales.
My question would be, if the homeowner didn’t want to go to the expense of having the floor poured, why not level, compact and waterproof the floor then put in say a 24x24” paver floor or maybe a 24x36” paver floor? It would offer a semi-permanent, stable floor. Having done decades of one off projects like roofs, marina slip flooring, temporary flooring, etc., to me doing something like that would be both economical and fast.
We’re located in the DFW area and I’m guessing you all have your business in PA somewhere.
I know regional paver costs vary and so do types of pavers. On those sized pavers, which are machine made with a high psi Type II Portland cement and a damp mix, sand and >1/4” crushed limestone, we can use a 3/8” grid rebar. That’s a spec we offer to contractors. We used that process for the marina dock pavers, for both strength and environmental reasons. I don’t think something that engineered would be required for that job, but you know how homeowners are!
Anyway, as a person that has worked both wet and dry concrete, I want to commend you on your projects. And as a family business, my brothers and I would say your workmanship and attention to detail is superb. I hope that anyone considering using you all as a sub or main contractor realize just what a good contractor you folks are. Best of luck! I really enjoyed these 5 videos.
I like that you continued taking care of your other customers instead of putting everyone behind. I've had a contractor agree to do a lot of extra work for his customer and those of us that had already been started got pushed back a couple weeks which stretched my project out to 3 months later because of scheduling problems with the other trades that needed to come in. 5 or 6 months without a kitchen sucks, it felt like years!
That’s a long time no kitchen
@Concrete with the Hauses it was! I said I would never do that again!
Wow! That was a great pour, you guys are so fast! Of course, absolutely understand that you have to keep scheduled work on time. That's very, very important. The demo job turned into a different work altogether so that owner will have to work w TSH. I'm sure he is very grateful that TSH kept the contract even though the work changed so much. You guys are really awesome. Hope you Christmas was fantastic, bless you all!👍👌❤🇺🇸🇺🇸
That garage basement would have made an epic gun vault. Maybe someday. I would have loved to discover that area.
I know right?
HELLOOOO from a Southwest victim… rented a car & drove back from New England… great video yinz guys.
Really enjoy your footage & commentary.
Catch yinz on the next one
Have a Day
Thank you so much for the details and updates on the garage surprise project. I'm currently designing my own detached 2 car garage and because of the grade of my property, I want to do steel decking for the main level of parking, then then below to be open for more storage where I can drive into from my backyard. So instead of a 2 car, it's really a 4 car detached garage.
I've been struggling with understanding how this might be possible, but your video miraculously appeared in my suggested videos and has given me some hope that my imagination for this detached garage is realistic!
I would love to know and understand more how the engineer decided what size steel decking, rebar and rebar spacing was selected based on trying to reuse the existing structure. I know it's highly unlikely this would be shared, but your video has really encouraged me to dig deeper and educate myself!
Thanks for the videos and education!
...you could ask your local steel fabricator who they use for their engineering needs- tgen explain to the engineer what you have in mind;
I still find it hard to believe that nobody knew that room was there. You and your crew did another great job.
Thank you!
IF I was the customer. I would have had you pour a cement floor in the "new-hidden" room while you had it all open
@@davep6977 that’s what I thought too. Even 4 inches would be a good base. Stairs going down with a “trap door” would be a great save too. Now I’m engineering the job for free 🤣🤣🤣
@@davep6977 I was thinking the same but I guess the cost already shot up (not to mention the time line) because of surprise and it just wasn't feasible for them at this time.
Wow, what a job. As I was looking at this garage and understanding how sitting water caused the rust which in turn compromised the concrete. I thought, what if the new concrete flooring was sloped in a way to flow out of the garage without the need for drains. Either way I have confidence that you guys will properly repair it 😊👍🏽
Probably rust was caused by sheets not being sprayed with galvanised spray after they were cut jus like they are doing now exposing raw steel to water and cement that will eventually eat away under the galvanising and compromising the integrity of the floor once again
Since the original concrete was not that thick according to you, were you able to increase the thickness, given that the bearing of the decking is the same? What's the minimum thickness according to the engineering?
class operation!! good job no shortage of quality!!
definition of professional. What a great job.
Hahaha loved it when you said to the boys hurry up there faces was a picture (good sense of humor ) 😂😂😂👍🏻
WOW You're right about the trucks what a time saver. No pushing and pulling or pumping up the shute. I'm in Australia and have never seen one.
You couldn't talk them into concreting the basement floor while you were at it? Perfect opportunity.
A trap door with stairs going down might have been a good way to use that space for storage. Or for changing oil.
That's a nice surprise. Homeowner should be happy. They just added around 1,200 sqft to the home if they finish it..minimum of a $120,000 value too the home. Would make a great theater room. Love the videos
I was wanting to tear the garage off my house and excavate out a basement to to attach to the existing basement, and then rebuild the garage on top using something like this, but i am still convinced that I want to use something like Bubbledeck to span the 25' without having to use all the supports. I'm surprised that you guys went with the steel decking, but I'm sure that this slab will be more fortified. The rebar at 12" should help a lot. (Maybe, some vinyl strips mixed in the concrete too). I've been looking at ICF decking, and concrete block, but Bubbledeck has me sold.
Can't wait to see the pour and final results.
I have an ICF floor on my screen porch and garage. There is a basement underneath both of them. It was a lot of work shoring them up during the pour but I really love it because I have some large clear spanned areas. You can see the amount of steel beams and supports required for the steel decking approach.
Huge job. I know the expense on this is going to be astronomical for the homeowner, but I can’t believe they didn’t go ahead and put a concrete floor in that crawlspace and make it more useful.
Get a couple of D-handle, square-edged shovels. Digging that debris out with a spade is crazy.
WOW that was a different garage floor glad you showed this job...
I have watched you and your crew do some unusual things, and then concrete as well. Is there nothing y'all can't do? Hats off to your crew what a lot of work for a garage floor! Very interesting video
Thanks 👍
I am surprised that the homeowner didn't know about the room! I know there was stuff infront of the door, but I would think that when he saw the door, he would have taken a look!
It would have been nice to know that room is there BEFORE you started!
What a GREAT find though!
For sure
I was surprised too, my guess is the movers piled boxes marked basement in front of the door and they still have not been moved or unpacked since.
Up here in Altoona we would call that breakfast a mess. Pretty much whatever is on the grill goes in. A little hot sauce and some jelly bread and it makes a great start to any day.
Without discussing specific dollar amounts, how much did this surprise extra work increase the original bid amount? I'm guessing this ended up costing 3x or 4x the initial price. Amazing work as usual.
I would think it double the bid
The steel decking alone was a huge cost.
I think I would have used wooden decking for the floor.
@@CL-vz6ch Why?
What a waste of space under that garage to not have somewhat easy access to it...at least the entry to it could have had a normal sized door....then again WTF was the point of excavating all that out to not use it at all.
That easily could have turned into a major ordeal, you guys did a great job with taking care of that customer...although the bill must be astronomical with that slight surprise underneath.
That job was just different enough to make interesting. Thanks Tom
I was knocking out a big set of church entrance steps and they and I fell into a 5 ft deep hole they had bridged when the steps were poured. Never a dull moment
Since the home owner is keeping the room and it sounds like it has a dirt floor, will they have you pour concrete for that floor? If you do pour a floor, how will you do it, or do they have other plans?
My back hurts just watching this! Great work, always loved watching concrete guys in action.
I'll stick to climbing telephone poles and crawling around in underground vaults for a living. Lol
What you're eating looks to me like a Garbage plate. Originally from Rochester NY, but I understand it's disputed because I've also heard people claim it came from PA or even Maryland before.
A breakfast mix it is delicious
Can't imagine going back to manually tying all the rebar after using the new tools.
You and your crew had to work extra hard on the garage floor , going to turn out great
Love how the guy says 'still physics' while not using physics. 😂
Smart idea
To pour the bottom floor and add a few more supports to those beams. They were alot further than 8 feet apart..plus the fact, their rotting in the earth.Not that don't for see it doing the exact same thing again.
Floor drains rotting it all
I wish I could I live in tannersville NY and I'm only 16 I'm a hard worker I do land scaling and I've done odd jobs like concrete,lawn mowing,land scaping, sheet rock, small engine and a lot more like shingles,wood working in not at all lazy I make a decent income I own a $500 brand new lawn mower a brand new weed eater I paid cash for all of my own stuff. My main motivation my grandmother told me if you want something special go and make your own money and then buy it.
Are they planning to pour a floor in the new found basement? and if so, why wouldnt they do the pour before you finish the Garage Slab? and if they chose to do it after the Garage slab, how will you do that?? I would definitely be having a new Man Cave down there, with stair up to the Garage!! Definitely a nice find!!
They are not
let the home owners digest the fact that this is costing more than twice the original price.. 😊 stairs, trap doors, cement floor at the bottom would all add large sums to the contract.. but I understand most guys would want to capitalize on the opportunity and not block off future features..😊
I have never seen something like this…not sure what to think about it. I think it is cool. The cinder block walls are a bd idea. Poured walls are my preference.
Did I hear you say the basement has a dirt floor? If I heard that correctly you'd think they would want to pour concrete down below before the new decking got installed...
Just a question or two about water/moisture barrier:
I see you have a plastic barrier on the ground. Shouldn't it be a continues barrier up against the edges of the slab? About the different pipes poking through, shouldn't the openings be sealed off around the pipes before pouring?
Living in Norway we always use styrofoam towards the ground, apx 8 inches thick and up, then a continues moisture barrier, also known as a Radon barrier, properly sealed around any pipes or lines. Around the edges the barrier is ong enough to be folded over the side and out. We would also use a thermal break against the outside perimeter.
Best regards, KA
I would kill for that garage. Nice games room under too!
For a car enthusiast you could put lifts on the basement floor and have them used to store your car under the garage. I have seen them built basically like elevators for storing you clasic or supercars beneath the garage. Really cool but crazy expensive I would imagine.
@@crzy11000 I looked at garage lifts a while back, not as much as you would expect.
Our trucks say “KEEP CLEAR” in big giant red letters on the main chute. I strongly encourage everyone to never step under the chute.
I had both pins on the first flip hinge shear clean off simultaneously dropping all the chutes the ground. The snap was so sudden it blew open the first flip chute totaling out the entire assembly on the truck. It was a foundation wall at half speed-8 slump. Not even a fully loaded chute. Pins were not cracked. Just a freak failure, thank god nobody got crushed.
why no weather foil to stop moisture from penetrating into the metal? Concrete is porous and if someone is using salt in winter - the steel will corrode.
Keep watching
I know nothing. OK, thats outta the way, I felt the home owner has the money and I love the idea of keeping this room.
Probably hundreds of uses for it (especially in the South for storm cellar) but I felt they would have opted to pour a concrete floor in it before all the ground level decking was built? //ji
Found a video of the steel being put in nice job and how I wish I had those steel beams in my basement/garage, get rid of all those support poles I have & basement would be huge, I can fit 8-9 cars in there now.
Man I get it I enjoy using boom trucks when I can because they can reach a long way and my men seem to like the work with pump trucks but I'll tell you if you don't have the room it's like trying to put a dump truck in a Tupperware bowl it just won't fit. People don't understand when you out doing work like that you can't just bring in equipment sometimes you have to manually move stuff around and you have to think of ways to get it to go. I think that shoot and wheelbarrow as quick as you can move it was a good idea, that'd been a lot better than using a buggy. That garage job the one thing I don't understand is how the homeowner didn't know that was there it's a wonder you didn't fall through the floor and really get injured the first time you put your bobcat in there. The big thing about where you're working right now is getting your vehicles onto the road safely and not getting dirt all over the highway cuz then the state police comr and wright you a ticket for getting mud on the street especially working and wet areas like you are.
What a job. Nothing phases or stops you guys. Nothing.
Should have added hidden entrance /Escape hatch. cool untapped space for a house, defiantly would make into Game room MAN CAVE.
There is a previous video where they start to demolish the original floor and discover the room below it. There was an access to it from the basement that the owner didn't realize was there.
Why spade shovels and not flat square ones?
Sell them to pour the basement floor too!!
Wild after thought-
Car elevator and a basement garage
Was thinking the same thing about shovels.
What's up with that Tom? Concrete in your veins & no sq. shovels... 🤣🤣
Can you share Steve's channel please?
Have a great day.
💞💞 🤗 It's CONCRETE TIME!!! Watching these videos makes me thankful for God making a Concrete Man.
Great job!! Looking forward to seeing the finished product!!
Steve gave you the look 😠😠he is thinking, "where's the power trowel?!?! "
9:40 "Steve has a little bit more to go here... can you hurry up a little bit"
Steve: "rassum frassum"
home owner really missed an opportunity to concrete out that basement and make it into something usable. would be so much easier to pour with the top floor out.
That is what I was thinking. Never a better time to do so. It would have cost more, but that is a lot of extra space. I wonder if there is zoning or code issues? The other thing I'm curious about s what someone else mentioned, the engineering of that floor, seems like a smaller beam/posts than I would expect, but I'm not an engineer so, what do I know.
Just curious why they would not concrete that basement floor? I assume cost was the major factor after finding this surprise.
Obviously the best decision is concrete it!! Instant storage room!!
Was thinking same thing. With all that extra labor and materials cost might as well say f’ it and do the basement floor.
Yes because if they decide to pour it later i think it will triple the cost of now !!!! Maybe even more!!!
Because the easiest way would be to pump it in if the owner will allow that !!!!?????
This issue ended up costing the customer almost double what the original quote was. I am assuming it was suggested to add on but all the extra unanticipated costs cut into their budget big time.
A dirt floor is great for a cellar. Lots of storage for food under there.
you know on that far wall, I would have made a trap door from the garage to the room and put in a latter on the wall. might as well have, considering the cost at this point, and having a fire escape from that room would have been a good idea. or a storage entrance..........
I like that idea
Would have been nice to add a waterproof membrane over those beams like that used around windows prior to laying the metal down.
We did primer and paint. Thought that would be good enough.
Sorry Tom, I went to college in the mid 70’s so I would not have to continue doing that hard physical work. I got an accounting degree and my CPA but one of my jobs to pay for college involved pouring a lot of concrete for some hog farmers I worked for. All of that reminded me to study hard so I could work in a heated and air conditioned office. It worked out well for me and I got an education on the worth of hard work. I am now retired and watch you guys do great work.
I would love to find something like that under my house. I would make it into a bunker but i would dig a spiral stairwell down about 100 more feet and add a room at the bottom.
boys will be boys, do you have an idea of the cost and engineering of such a structure? 100 feet down that’s 10 stories, vaulted ceiling gor the room, water table issues, would cost more than the house and no municipality will give you a permit to build such a death trap.. IMHO
@@andreh.dupuis8475 I already have a bunker under my house so i know the cost. I was talking about the giant unknown room. That would be awesome to make into the upstairs of a bunker.
@@krodkrod8132 yes true enough, costs and permit feasibility aside, I would add a catacombs style vaulted ceiling and a dock accessible by submarine, with a trap door opening on top of a volcano for an ICBM just in case 😀. sorry I got a little carried away and might have seen too many 007 movies.. 😄
@@andreh.dupuis8475 I actually live the life of a Bond villain. My wife started saying that after i bought a couple dozen white peacocks. I also released a couple hundred white heritage turkeys on the property over the years. I'm in the middle of 400 acres so they kind of stick around.
A lot of hard work, but exceptional satisfaction seeing the finished product.
Crazy thing to find - definitely a contractor nightmare - well handled! The subfloor under that corner closet - how is that being formed before the pour? Did the steel decking end up sliding underneath it?
They framed on top of it after the pour
I know that this was unexpected and the price obviously changed so the budget is different as well. But I would look at this as a positive look for some money elsewhere and turn this into a positive thing. If you are a car guy this is a dream there's so many scenarios that you can make out of this. All of them increase the value of your house at very minimum you'll get the money back when you sell it at a maximum you'll make a profit
THIS GUY MAKES THIS JOB SOUND SO HARD , WHEN IN FACT ITS NOT, NOT AT ALL, HE'S USED TO JUST MINIMAL CONCRETE PADS, PROBABLY DONT PAY THE MEN ALL THAT MUCH EITHER.
Awesome job on putting in that decking!
i know nothing about pouring concret or anything like that, i was wondering if each of these jobs pays for all the equipment and workers you have? i just cant wrap my head around how expensive a job like this would be. two full concret trucks, atleast 8 skilled workers, tools, rebar, other machines to dig and level the foundation. honestly how do people have money to build homes??
ya know alot of people dont understand but i own a business i know that there are alot more expenses that meets the eye, so i was wondering if you bill every job to pay for all your expenses within the current job or do you end up taking like the insurance for the trucks, the renewal of your licenses the safety training courses and any maintainace for any machines out of your gross profit at the end of the year?
And also people dont know this but in some states if you put someone on payrol with a w2 you need to cover all of their expenses( medical dental life insurances, time off, sick leave, paturnity leave ) all that sits on the employers shoulders. i guess im just asking how you guys are able to stay in business and what you do to deal with the stress? are there any inspiring words and stories you can share for small business owners like myself and others?
First of all, I never think of all that at one time I would go crazy. Secondly, you don’t accumulate all this equipment overnight it takes years of adding pieces one job does not pay for at all but a percentage of the job does probably not that much help to you, other than to say, you don’t make it in one day or one job years of a slow steady grow hopefully with some minor setbacks head down push forward
@@Concretewiththehauses that's really amazing! I commend you guys for liking and answering my questions. I'm in the business of buying and renovating short term rentals but we're not big effort to be building them just yet. Yeah the stress I guess does take a toll if you think of everything all at once. I think I need to hire a few more people to try and compartmentalize the stress.
When you cut galvanised sheet you expose the bare steel you should cold galvanised spray the edges or it will rust especially in contact with cement and there's not much overlap on the front of the sheets by the door
Interesting that there is a dirt floor underneath, seems like I would have had you pour concrete down there too while everything is opened up.
We had talked about it decided not to push forward with the concrete floor
@@Concretewiththehauses I imagine they were already way deeper in costs than they expected at that point. Should have put a hatch in so you could snake the concrete pump hose down for later 😂
You guyz never bore me. You may time lapse, but i never fast forward. Yeah, i don't wanna miss a trick. Ya'll keep humming, the views are a comin. Forget about it!
Thanks 👍
You have made a very laborious task look easy! I know this job turned from a breakout and pour, to a building support, breakout, pull steel decking, replace steel decking, rebar, and pour. With that said, I know the cost for the job skyrocketed as it should have, but if that were my home I’d have poured a floor in that basement. I know when a job like this changes so drastically it can be tough for the homeowner to justify the added cost of the basement floor. Thanks for sharing this job with the viewers.
I would have concreted the basement floor while the decking was off!
Great job on the garage. 3 questions. 1)what was the original price? 2) how much more did it cost? 3) how did you tie in the new decking into the walls and foundation by the garage doors? How big is the house you poured the slab for going to be? How many floors for the elevator? Stay safe. Happy New Year to Haus family and crew.
Awesome work. To see where it was and where it’s going
Thanks 👍
I don’t get why you’re not finishing out the dirt floor since you’re already doing steel rebar and pouring concrete.
Also around the drains? you could’ve put some rubber grommet boots to isolate the steel decking away from the drain & “wetness”.
Next video
Better than new. Look forward to the pour.
The homeowner should cement the basement floor. They made the right decision not to fill that in, it would have settled over time.
What a Christmas present for this owner! I can't imagine the cost for this job....Love your work & videos, Greetings from the Old Jarhead in COLD WNC.
For all those who have a cushy job and never lose 1 drop of sweat in a day.... this is def a tuff way to make a living hard core physical labor. These guys clearly have ben doing this for along time nothing but professionalism. I can only imagine how nice it will turn out good job fellas! 👏 if I was the home owner I'd make sum type of door in the floor out of steel so I could stand down under my car and change my own oil 🤣👍 I'm dead serious I would
Missed opportunity to pour that lower slab while you got it open. Cut that block wall out and add a vault door while you are at it.
Your crew getting paid to workout. That's some good exercise
It sure is
Not sure where your eating but ya gotta try T-bones in Wexford. Always try to get a meal there when I'm working in that area.
The best fried chicken everything is good there
Floor drain are against code where I'm at as gasoline/oil could get into the pipes maybe case an explosion or at the least contaminate ground water
Adding some hidden car lifts would be cool and double car space 😎
now when you guys pour Concrete, do you use concrete that burns you if you accidentally touch it or if any of the particulates land on you or do you guys use non corrosive concrete to use for your builds?
If you would get it in your boot, where it would rub against your skin, or come in contact for a long time, it would irritate other than that not so much
I like seeing the chairs. I've seen other concrete TH-camrs never use chairs. They just pull the rebar up as they go, but, at the same time they are stepping on the rebar and making it sit right back on the bottom.
Once the concrete is under the bar, stepping on it doesn't push it back down. To much aggregate. But chairs are the way to go to maintain even bar placement
Another awesome job as usual. I know nothing about pouring concrete and the use of steel decking so I have a question. From looking at the old decking and how it rusted out in the center of the bays along with the crumbling concrete, I assume that this was due to rain, snow, ice and road salt dripping off the vehicles over the years. With that being said, do they make anything that can be applied to the decking to prevent or reduce the amount of moisture that comes in contact with it.
Yes, that concrete needs a waterproofing membrane on top of it, then an asphalt top coat or other wear surface. Concrete cracks naturally, even with proper drainage, those pans will be gone in a few years without it.
The decking is just a form for the reinforced concrete. The rebar and concrete are what provides the strength across the spans.
Nice to see the quick 3.3 thousand increase in viewership. You have interesting and unique content, in addition to a model style of management.
I guess this homeowner will be writing a few more checks !!
THS Concrete and crew are amazing, talented, professional and knowledgeable! I don’t think any other company could compete. This is why a retired old female fart still watches in awe and wonderment. I hit the like button before the video even begins. The same with Steve’s channel! Such a handsome young man with a beautiful family of his own.
May 2023 be a better, and less expensive, year! 🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸💙🙏🏻
Thanks
...did anyone check the civil engineering of the beam and span, and the proper weight per sq ft so deflections don't crack up the floor again?
He said in the previous video at 18:09 that the engineering took a few weeks taking them into winter months.
I always hated concrete finishing! I've done too much and my body feels it!
That can happen
I m going to miss your videos Tom, hope you held some back for the winter. See you on the next one boss 💪🔨✌
May as well pour the basement floor for the new found sq footage while it is open!
We had talked about it, and decided not to $
If owned a house like that and found such a room, I'd find the extra $ to have a concrete floor put in it before the garage floor was replaced.
Do you ever use glass fiber in concrete? A building across the street from my place had a new parking apron done in 1990, with glass fiber in it. Not one crack in it in 32 years.
Yes, we put it in everything
@@Concretewiththehauses but you don't mention it in videos
Tom you and crew did a great job on the garage and decking, I hate seeing the bill on that job,Happy New Year
That room below the garage would make for a great meth lab like lab under that laundry facility in breaking bad!
Was epoxy-coated rebar considered here? Considering that the slab is exposed to salt, it would help the rebar/slab last much longer. Probably a good idea to have a sealant, too.
I'd definitely epoxy seal this garage floor if this was my house. That room would also make a great shelter and gun room.
you might want to look up the results on epoxy coated rebars, contrary to expectations it rusts quicker than non epoxy coated😊
@@andreh.dupuis8475 I'll look into it, but I'm in the industry and my experience has been that, installed properly, it does not rust more quickly. How would it rust more quickly? The epoxy protects the steel from exposure to moisture and chlorides.
@Andre H. Dupuis according to a few TH-cam videos I've seen epoxy coated rebar needs to have a perfectly sealed coating to be effective. Any cut, scratch, or dent in the coating causes it to corrode much faster than non-coated rebar. In this case the concrete has a corrosion inhibitor aided to the mix, and I'd hope the homeowners epoxy coat the floor when it's finished.
@@warrensteel9954 Yes, the installer is supposed to re-coat any cuts or damage.
