I love watching concrete pours! They did beautiful work.
Because we liked playing in mud as kids - same thing basically.
Bill Long Thats exactly what it is.
During my 38 years trucking I worked locally for about three years hauling bulk cement and fly ash in a pneumatic tanker, so, I got to see a lot of this procedure going on. I was always amazed, and, still am, with the experience of concrete finishers. They did a great job for you, Kevin, and, I'm sure you'll enjoy this pad for years to come. I just hope they put rebar in it for extra support. Have a great day, and, say hello to the Woof Pack and Felix for me!
Nothing Better than a Good Driver!!!!! Lookin Good...
you're the man kevin! I'm on your side of the country this evening. flew into Richmond today to attend my grandfather's funeral this weekend.. Thank you for always lifting my spirits buddy!
Looks Great Another good video by CVK!
It's been a long time since I've seen concrete poured and worked. Thank you for the refresher!
another awesome video u never know what your gonna get on the cvk show
Thank you for showing the technique on pouring and smoothing the concrete pad. You're right I've never seen that before and I found it interesting. It's refreshing to see products made in this country and seeing Americans employed! Best wishes on your channel and all your endeavors.
Kevin, I'm over by Galveston TX. Never in my life have I seen a concrete pour without rebar or at least wire mesh. This blows my mind! PEACE OUT !!!

What a great idea. I love watching them bringing up the cream. Pure luxury
Thank you, Kevin. I haven't seen a concrete floor poured, nor the process of smoothing it out. Congratulations on the channel and Facebook. You work hard at it. Well earned.
Looks good Kevin glad to see you get a shop going.
Thanks for putting up this video Kevin . The last job I worked with my dad was pouring a floor for Thunderbay hydro before I got hurt and became disabled. It brought back good memories.
One of the main reasons we are getting an a-frame popup is that it fits in our garage. Our HOA does not allow RVs, and we did not want to spend a fortune on storage fees, not to mention the inconvenience of storing it away from home. Also, safe inside storage will not hurt the re-sell value. Thanks for the video!
Looks great! Congrats!
Awesome!!
Looks like they do great work!!
Looks great. Up here in the great white north we compact the base, put in rebar or wire mesh then pour the concrete. Frost destroys everything up here. Nothing like Turning Wrenches on a clean solid surface. Nice job, well done. Safe travels.
l like watching things that I don't have a clue about. So thanks Kevin for a great video. Enjoy your new RV pad. 😊
Perfect timing. My RV pad is going in today. Hope my guys do as good a job as yours! Looks great.
WOW, the concrete floor turned out BEAUTIFUL!
What a nice concrete pad and it will be so useful.
Watching those guys work that concrete was awesome... Always wondered how it was done... Great video Kevin!!! Much love, and God Bless!!!
Be still my heart - that is a beautiful RV pad! ❤️ Good price for a large pad. 👍
Nice job I've never seen the full job done & I'm so Happy for you. Your Good People Man it's nice to see your progress.
Great video! Nice job on the slab. Looking forward to seeing more cool videos. Thanks 😎🤗😍
They make it look so easy... it's really an art form. Sure would like to have a slab like that at my place. Concrete around here is almost as much as gold!
i loved watching the concrete poured. That was awesome Kevin. Here in Texas we put rebar in ours to make it strong so the weight will not crack it.
Oh, wow this was sooo neat to watch. I always wanted to see how they put in the concrete! Thank you for sharing.
I love little Foxy Lady. She is sooo sweet, and wow, Felix's garden looks GREAT! God bless!
Looks great brother. Keep on Keepin on!
That was a great vid, this was something we could use. Thank you
I was born an inquisitive, how-it-works kinda person and I've never had the chance to watch the entire concrete slab process....'til now😊 Actually, I enjoyed this....well vlogged, Kevin!
Your following continues on the rise because you're a good man....heart, mind, & soul.
JOY! 💚
Yes, thanks. Never saw the process.
Awesome job. Love your vids.
Nice thanks for sharing Kevin!!
I thought to prevent cracking and more secure to place wire fencing or something similar down under the concrete. However, I realize the mixture of concrete has changed a lot over the years. It is pretty cool, I am happy for you to have this for your use and to be able to share for others when you aren't home. Be safe !
Morgan Concrete told me it was not necessary at all.
Looks Amazing!!! they did a great job. It's going to help tremendously.
boy...never saw this done before....alot of technique involved. ..fun to watch
Great Video …….I have worked with concrete before …..Hard work !! They did a very professional job !!
I like most anything to do with building..from cement work, to building...must've been
that type worker back in my other life! Take care Kevin~
That was neat to see how they do that - and it's going to be a great addition to your base camp. Also, we appreciate you as well which is why you have so many loyal viewers. :-)
super nice kevin! it was interesting watching the concrete pouring process, appreciate you also!
Well done Kevin
Great project Kevin that's so cool of ya to do that for Bill I can't wait to see the finished results I always enjoy watching your vids keep us informed and yep yep Keep On RV'n....
Campervan Kevin I just ran across your channel and wanted to say I really enjoy your videos. I subscribed and going back and binge watch them all. Keep it up. 👍🏼
Mr Richard welcome to the CVK Family!
Great video! Awesome place to work on vehicles!
nice pad - it will be useful for many different things especially with that cover added later.
They did some nice work... pretty awesome to have a shelter to do some work out back thanks for the video enjoyed it and I'm gonna have to do a video of my garden elite much with the plants are huge ..have a great day 🇺🇸😊
Love it!
Awesome video!
Great video cvk.
...I enjoyed this video......thanks Kevin...
Nice pour! I think you have to have a good eye and feel for doing concrete work. Thanks for sharing!
with the lid, the perfect RV accessory!
Awesome concrete, no rebar needed....pretty cool like seeing the wolf pack!
Fun watching that big ol truck and everybody work :-) 👍
Thanks Kevin, I found it interesting, thinking about adding some concrete at my place.
awesome.... nice birthday gift....
The furbabies should have put their paw print in the concrete; would have been so cute. 🐾
The Lime in the concrete would burn their paws.
I feel like a kid watching this cool concrete being poured. Good luck and congratulations on your new plans and structure. :-)
This slab and cover will be a great addition and provide your rv roof with much needed protection from this scorching Georgia sun. I have a shelter but never got around to pouring a slab but maybe one day.........when a yard of concrete does not cost an arm and leg. Price of concrete is rough. The guys that did the job did good work.
I really do enjoy your vlogs better than any others.
appreciate that... there are some really good vloggers out there!
Campervan Kevin, There are and I watch alot of them but I guess being a GA country girl I can relate more with yours and find the stuff you do most interesting and fun.
Oddly Satisfying !! Looks great
Felix's garden is coming along nicely... 🐾
Wow felix's garden is growing quick.
Great video. Keep it up.
You taught me something. No one ever told me about wetting the concrete,making it stronger.
Nice job kev
so jealous...looks great!
Good job!
Good deal Kevin ...love the video
Good job they did. That will be great for the B-I-L.
That was interesting to watch.
Great video as usual. Several things were different than the ways I have seen it done. First was rebar to hold the forms. All I have ever noticed is wood stakes.. Then the backwards to me concrete truck. None like that anywhere around here. Looks to be pretty efficient. I think that the fiberglass reinforced concrete is rarely used here also.
The crew really looked good. Everyone knew there job and weren't a lot of orders being yelled around. Thanks for sharing.
I had a builder boyfriend who discovered putting down heavy duty visqueen (plastic sheet) topped with an inch or two of sand before pouring the concrete kept it from cracking. Worked every time. That was years ago, before they had the fiberglass reinforcement and super strength. That was interesting to watch. I was wondering how they were going to smooth out the center. There's a tool for just about everything, I guess. Thanks a bunch, and congrats on your growing channel. You're a sweet guy. I would be proud to have you for a son.
I thought the same thing, Ms Judith! He is such a nice man, would make any dear mama a fine son! I'm 68, so he's son material for me, too! But now Kevin. I have to ask, so I'll do it here. How come sweet little Foxy Lady has to stay in the camper while Felix works? Why can't she be with the woof-pack? I'm sure they were safely away from the trucks & workers. Just askin', kind sir.
Foxy is an odd little dog. I believe she spent much of her life before Felix confined and alone. She does not want to play with other dogs or be with them. She likes being by herself and in the rv... so that is what we do. We do force her time to time to interact with them. She puts up with them at best. Baby MaeMae has tried so hard to be her friend with zero success.
OMGosh, that breaks my heart. I'm so glad Felix has her now. And am so glad you have little Tucker now. He has you and little MaeMae and Martini to love. I adore all of them
Judith Neeley: Isn't he a sweet well manered young man....I love listening to the way he talks. Cute acent. :-) he loves animals too.
She's an introvert. I have one and she has never wanted to play with my other pups. She's just happy to watch them.
It has been years since I saw the last concrete poured and this was great to watch. Thank you for that. It is an art to get it to look like this. Great job. Thank you for showing those beautiful babies again. It is amazing how I need a fix once in a while to see them and Foxy Lady. Why don't you turn her out while you are home? I am just wondering. She is so pretty and looks so soft. You are such a great man. It is wonderful to see this in todays time. Good men and women are so hard to find in todays society. I know they are out there. It is great to see. Keep up doing the videos and we will keep watching. Give those babies a hug for me. Love Joyce
Nice pour, went to tech school for 3 years for masonry. That is an old school pour, being from the north east I would have used 6 inch wire in the middle. But, being it's in Georgia, and 5 1/2 inch thick, it will be fine. Notice how everyone was just doing their job, and nobody was yelling, that's a pro crew.
They say that watching grass grow is boring, but tell you what, I think watching cement being pour is exciting...
It was interesting, looked good when it was done!
I do not know why, but, I did Like seeing you pour this concrete! These guys did a Great Job. I guess its because I have been near construction most of my life. This was great and I will love seeing your RV cover get installed. I guess I might like something like that here in Dahlonega. GA.
looks like a good pour. enjoy~!
It was interesting.thanks for sharing. Granny fan. .
Super cool! Was wondering how on earth they were gonna smooth all that out. That was cool! :)
My driveway got poured two days ahead of schedule a few years ago. I was away at a Boy Scout leader training, so I watched the whole pour via iPhone Facetime.
Awesome! That was so interesting. I have never seen one of those smoothing machine things. That was crazy! I am sure you are going to be so happy to have this new upgrade at base camp. So happy for you. We are dealing with a cracked driveway at my house. 1,500 sq ft and they didn't put any of the lines in it for flexing.(sorry I have no idea what they are called) The result is, I have cracks down the center of my driveway and we are planning on selling soon. This is all from the previous owner of my house. Haven't called on new cement yet but pavers will be $12,000. OK, that's not happening! LOL
So happy your channel is growing. You deserve it and we love the videos you do and we love you!
Kickass!!!
I was kinda hoping the mention of rabbits and deer at the beginning was foreshadowing to some disaster where there were deer prints in the concrete when you got back. Woulda been the funniest thing ever.
It will be good for you to have the surface rather than gravel to work on. Also the shelter. Funnily enough, I have never seen concrete poured! Thanks for your time and effort to produce these videos.
I knew it. I figured you were making an RV pad. :)
I thought this video was interesting. Looking very forward to your next video Campervan Kevin. Woof pack cute as ever, foxy lady she's a little darling. Love the little pooches 🐾🐾 Thank you for sharing
Looks GOOD Kevin......!!!! TruckcamperJim in Iowa
Hi Kevin, that new pad looks great.
The reason you're doing so well is due to your relaxed, very real, calm way of showing us your world. You have a sincere, intelligent quality that is very comfortable to watch.
You are the type person we'd like to have as a close friend.
I hope to meet you around a campfire someday.
Thank you.
Debra Pate .. well stated indeed. Watching Kevin's videos is as relaxing as a nice iced tea while relaxing in a comfy chair in an air conditioned room. That comment is from a GA gal living not too far from Kevin. Guess my parallel is 'a Southern thing'. Kevin is upbeat, positive, relaxed, kind and honest guy. Sadly those admirable attributes are often difficult to discover. Plus he loves and protects fur-babies. Even more awesomeness.
Cool! Building something new is always good. :-)
Kinda like a camp fire, no mater how many times you see it poured you'r gonna watch. Lookin' good !
I used to live in Martin Ga., close to Toccoa, Love your No. Ga. Vids, Used to own the old KOA campground on lake Hartwell.
Peace
I am retired out from Morgans from a catastrophic work injury in 1996 since fiber has been around since the early 90s rebar is used less and less in our area for slabs doing the way Kevin is doing keeping it wet and drying slow and at 6 inches on packed ground he will have no problems yes there may be minor cracking but nothing to give a problem
Nice!
I don't know exactly why but it is like meditation watching concrete get poured and floated. ZenCrete.
job well done
Hell of a slab. 3000 psi is strong enough for your RV, or two. Not sure if it will hold all the dogs.....LOL. Your right. Here in GA. a lot different than up north. Will hold up to clogging (dancing to the moon). Your videos are great, well rounded when not on the go. Hope your back gets better. Come see us on ST. Simons, Jon..
good job but rebar would give the concrete longevity and strength....over time it will crack especially if you are parking the rv on it
I wonder if this is a more regional thing? I see less and less since fiberglass down here.
Maybe it is related to milder climates. I'm in the South and they've been using fiberglass for many years. Post-tension slabs are the best for strength for houses and large buildings, but in your application 6" high strength is sufficient, from what I understand.
Here in Florida we put down a heavy wire grid
Florida more sandy... we have hard pack clay here
That was neat to watch, never saw that big fan packing thing before, I assume it is kind of like a tamper for dirt but for concrete? Pretty neat either way, make a neat dance floor when it clear too, I could do a few spins in my chair on that at full 3.5mph clip in my wheelchair and spin in circles... LOL YeeeYah...
