I don't see a "Sea of Concrete", I see a patio addition for each unit. It does not look ugly. It looks great AND it seems to have fixed the challenge they were having. Good Job guys!
@@markschultz1606 Yes, a few potted plants will soften up the overall affect, as well. Also, I noticed the roofs for all the buildings look brand new. The new owner's investing a lot into these apartment buildings.
I love how you didn’t back away from this challenge, but instead kept at it until you had it solved. It was a huge problem that 90% of people would have walked away from. So very well done!
Tough jobs like this some contractors will avoid. However, I feel like you learn a lot going through the process of solving a difficult problem and in the end there is value to be gained from putting in the work that others won’t. Great job.
@@GCFD I seen where you took that green grate and used your pocket knife to cut a drain hole but you were still worried about leaves getting snagged. A few seconds with a dremel you could smooth that opening that might help 🤷♂️ I have zero construction experience but just a thought.
@@GCFD here in the uk their are gulleys under every rain water pipe from your roof which goes underground to your main sewer that's where our rain water goes
I have seen and read a lot of the comments.About your work and your actions.From what I can see is you have a very good fan club .Who supports you in every way.God bless you and your wonderful work and crews.
Awesome job Shawn. You almost need a flap at the end that gets thrown up and drops down when no rain, water, but not an easy problem to solve. I think the concrete looks fine, I bet those renters love their new patio. Lots of grass vs concrete.
A "pop up" - type of discharge (sideways). I'm VERY sure you'll come up with something- IF necessary! Very complex job! WELL DONE!! GCF has come a long way!
I agree a flap valve is the solution. But you still need to prevent people putting there foot in the hole and twisting their ankle. A flat grating level with the top of the pipe downstream of a flap valve maybe could have been a solution here. Then you could lift the grating to get to the valve if it gets clogged with twigs and the concrete could be profiled so there was less chance of a trip or ankle twisting hazard.
Thank you for all the time you put into your channel. Watching a plan come together to solve a major problem is very rewarding. Thanks for the honesty when things don’t go right and for not giving up until the problem is solved. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Scott! It can be exhausting filming and making these videos so I'm glad to hear you're enjoying them. This series for example had over 700 video clips and was quite daunting to get started with the editing process. I'm happy with how the series turned out!
@@GCFD wow! 700 clips and you edited a cohesive and coherent narrative. Be proud. This is a great channel; one of my favorites on TH-cam. Please keep it up as it is appreciated.
Yeah, I found ur channel after I fixed the rain gutter with the NO-No black pipe. I live in South Florida and I will redo with the PVC soon! Thanks for being a good instructor!
I’ve learnt so much from watching your channel. I’m in the UK on clay soil and am applying some of the principles you’ve taught us to drain water away from our building. In the UK we’re not allowed to have rainwater flow over our neighbours property. We either have to hook into the main storm water drains or have a soak-a-way buried under our garden. We are also lucky in that we can collect the water in rainwater harvesting systems to use for washing clothes, flushing toilets and watering the garden in summer.
Shawn, I’ve actually seen a few outfalls here in wisconsin that have “hinged” covers on them. Prevents rodents from going in when it’s not flowing, and when it is, it pops open to clear out any debris. Again, still needs maintenance and may not be the best for every situation, but it is an idea!
The cement looks fine; much better than asphalt. This highlights how important it is to account for drainage in new construction. That is an area you could consult and construct solutions. And you have to be there during the pour to assure your plan is 100% followed. A laser level might help in bigger projects.
A1 job Shawn! You are becoming the man to go to for issues such as this. Learning as you go and paying for your mistakes and becoming the expert by OJT. You are admired for solving the issues at hand and facing them head-on, as a challenge. You are the only one I have seen that goes back on a rainy day to verify the success of the job under adverse conditions. Great ethics. Keep it up...I enjoy hearing you verbalize your strategies as you develop your plan. Knowledge is costly, and do-overs are the price we pay for learning. Love the channel!
Maybe the biggest and toughest job on the channel and worth the four part series! Great work Shawn and there isn't anything wrong with the aesthetic of the concrete, especially while considering the functional nature of it. Considering the hassle it caused the landlord in the first place, it would pay them to keep right on top all the maintenance checks of the system. Spend a little time and organisation to save a lot of money and stress.
I was literally talking at my phone, “Cut a few slats out of the bottom of the cover! Cut a few slats out of the cover at the bottom!!!” I’m watching from the suburbs of Chicago and am fascinated by your methodical approach to each job! Way to go!
You did a great job with this project. It was enormously complicated and onerous to plan, setup, and execute. I'm so impressed by the prowess of your planning and project management skills and only wish I could hire you where I live in Maryland! Thanks for sharing your projects, knowledge, and expertise with the TH-cam community. Much appreciated.
Looks good. I would recommend using straw mats or hydro seed for those hill sides. Also if you use seed and straw put down a 12,12,12 fertilizer, it will help get the grass to grow and stabilize the hill side faster.
Dear Sean, in the four deliveries we worked with the same purpose but with different obstacles to overcome, which made it extremely interesting and entertaining, it was like a Netflix marathon !!!! As always my congratulations for the concern to obtain good results always arduous and decently, A hug from Buenos Aires ....
Wow this is one of the most amazing jobs you have done. An especially challenging lot location and grading, and you made it work! Your quality and persistance and fearlessness is an inspiration. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I normally don’t watch long videos like this but I’ve followed the whole project and I’m glad u resolved the issue with this site. U surely earned more buds with this landlord
I couldn’t wait to see how you were going to finish this job. You really did a great job!… You definitely have great problem solving skills!…You’re workers are highly skilled and seem to be likable people. A great combination to have….keep those video’s coming!…It’s a great learning experience for me and a host of others……thank you!……
It is indeed a very tough task to eliminate the problem in this entire neighborhood but you did it with much professionalism.. congrats and great job done. 👍👏
Congratulations Shawn! There might be a formula for the quality of the concrete work. In the couple of years I've been following you, the concrete jobs have been on the small side and bang on. This has to be one of the most extensive concrete jobs.. so all day, multi day. When people get tired, quality can fall. The laser eyeballs that can precision sculpt a 6 foot run, might by shortsighted on the 60 foot pour. Thankfully your laser eye is always full bubble! What about a hinged cover on the outflow for easy cleanout? Get into custom metal fabricated outflow covers!
Outstanding job Shawn on both the videos and the enormous project at the apartment building. The sea of concrete doesn’t bother me at all though I’m used to that. It really was a total necessity to the problem and it’s new walkways and back patios too. How this place got built in the first place is amazing.
I like the looks of this project and am very impressed by how you handled it complexity. Love the 6" pipe threw the structure! Incredible and solid solution!!
@13:03 awesome inside the chute look. Nice job and editing. I love you filmed the job in the rain to show all that work AND that you went back 8 months later and edited that into the video.
Take the grate off and leave it off! Also I don’t think the ‘sea of concrete’ looks bad at all. Looks normal and actually areas for renters to put out flower pots and chairs.
I think those tenets are going to love that corner area. That is like a bonus patio. Concrete is way better than the mess of bushes they had before. Another bonus is getting rid of that ground cover means less critters and bugs right next to their windows and doors.
Great job once again!! You were right in your assessment and your plan proved out! That’s gotta be the best feeling even better than the first mess up! The whole project erases all of that!
BRAVO my dude.. Bravo. Solution for lack of maintenance is PERFECT here. So much damaging water, now no longer going into the homes. Also, I personally dont mind that sea of concrete, the people renting that place can put BBQ back there and outdoor seating and stuff.
Alright! It's the return of the redhead! That's a huge amount of work my friend. It turned out to be a win win for all parties involved. And its not a IF it gets clogged, its WHEN it gets clogged. Some gutter covers would help a little, but yeah...
I .started my viewing at Part 4 and was so intrigued I then viewed Parts 1, 2 and 3, I really enjoy your channel. Real work by real men and woman. I thought sharing the recovery expense of the Part 2 concrete error would be fair, but I was more than impressed by you taking the high road and eating the whole expense in the interest of the sustaining the relationship with with concrete contracrtor. But the success of your new dump truck was hopefully soothing. BTW the new concrete "patio" looks just fine.
Loved this series! 👍 The concrete offers residents an outdoor area to enjoy. They could install a pergola and plant grape vines if they want. I had a similar muddy issue and tiled the area and now we not only have better water management but another outdoor area to enjoy.
Yeah, Grandpa's here today! I love seeing him at the job site. As he gets older I hope they still bring him and a comfortable seat for him. Maybe we (you) could let the viewers know that your viewers would like to buy him a motorized, big tire wheelchair built for some what ruff terrain. I am pledging $100 USD towards this goal. It makes my heart happy to see him there!
Definitely an impressive low-low-slope example. 38:06 Ah so that's an 18-inch grate. With the $-to-GPM of CB I wonder if a concrete gutter of sorts would pass more & clog less. 39:43 it clogged the 1st time, 26:43 ouch.
Always enjoy your video work and multiple angles especially drone footage! The follow ups at end of every video is always a treat love to see how everything drains👍🏼
This was a great project. Of course I don’t know if you made this recommendation but I would highly encourage all those trees on the backside of the building to be trimmed back to the property line or taken down if they are owned by the same person. That will help tremendously with the debris
this has being a very interesting series Shawn and i can imagine a lot of hard work and problem solving. Job well done! Your concrete guys are letting u down i feel and probably have run out of chances
Entire job turned out great. Was always waiting for the next part til the end. I also think the tenants will like the concrete as a patio area for relaxing.
What a huge challenge this project has been! Great work documenting all the ups and downs, I really enjoyed it. I think the concrete looks great because we know it works.
If I lived in that corner unit that always flooded I would just keep a broom outside in the corner or even inside in the corner and every time I see debris covering that catch basin I would just sweep it off into the grass. Easy Peezy. so hopefully they keep it clear. Great job as always Sean and Harvey.
Worth it yes. And for that green grate, that was exactly what I was thinking. Keep it covered for safety but open the bottom. You know what they say, great minds think alike!
Great job Shawn, you have done what you were asked to do and get the water away from the property, and using all the concrete has done the job and working well, i want to say the concrete guys have it easy when you have truck drivers like that and getting in so close to the job makes it so easy for them, looks really good and finished off tidy
Thank you for explaining your view on the downspout issue, thank you for showing the 'quality' problems, some people can learn from others 'mistakes'. The grate on the outlet must be bigger than on the grates inlet...
I don't think the concrete is visually unappealing at all. By the time the residents put out some chairs and some flowers, you won't even notice it.
I was thinking a Shade Clothe Awning all away around to the Edge of the Concrete. And then have their Chairs and Table and Plants in pots.
It will blend in in time its better to have a lot of concreat and no damp nice job guys
My thoughts exactly. Property owner could put some fence dividers up and turn it into a patio area for the tenants.
Silver reflecting tape, around the top of the Ballard's, would be a nice touch. Especially at night
@@fisqualdefinite value add until tenants realize why it's actually there
I don't see a "Sea of Concrete", I see a patio addition for each unit. It does not look ugly.
It looks great AND it seems to have fixed the challenge they were having.
Good Job guys!
I agree-nice outdoor seating areas aplenty.
@@markschultz1606 Yes, a few potted plants will soften up the overall affect, as well. Also, I noticed the roofs for all the buildings look brand new. The new owner's investing a lot into these apartment buildings.

These longer series are really informative and show your thought process. Keep up the great content!
Thank you Jamy! They take a large effort to create so I'm glad you're enjoying
Really good work! I like that you get back after rain to show us around. Keep it up, best channel regarding this type of work imo!

Yes the renters are thrilled to have a landlord who cares and to have their flooding problems solved.
@@GCFD I agree I think a flap would help but I’ve never done that I would leave that to the pros (that’s you lol)
Something like a check valve. Maybe a piece of inner tube cut into an oval shape to match the discharge outfall
A "pop up" - type of discharge (sideways). I'm VERY sure you'll come up with something- IF necessary!
Very complex job!
WELL DONE!!

I really appreciate the follow-up trips to show the end result. It sucks that the concrete over the pipe has already cracked.
that concrete was expected to crack so I wasn't worried about it. As long as it continues to work we'll be good
Good job !!! Concrete looks good !!! It a provides a nice patio space and is functional against the water intrusive !!!! Keep up the good work !!!!
As a landlord myself, I love what you did here. Concrete is a lifesaver. There is nothing worse than having water issues at a property. Great job!

Then someone will put there foot in the hole and could well break their leg.
Absolutely loved the long series! That drone footage of the concrete truck... at some point it looked like it was jousting with that bus!
Thank you! I hoped that footage would be cool to watch. It was a somewhat dramatic shot of something so simple as the concrete truck.
I love that you made it work even when clogged. I would cut every other grate line off that outflow to let more debris through.

Thank you for explaining your view on the downspout issue, thank you for showing the 'quality' problems, some people can learn from others 'mistakes'. The grate on the outlet must be bigger than on the grates inlet...
