So much fun to watch the whole family work together, memories for them that will last forever.
Many hands makes light work. And it's a beautiful sight when it's family pulling together for a common goal. I'll say it again. You are a blessed man Scott and you are such a blessing. Be well and keep up the great work
I've said this before: But it is always so good to see Kenny there enjoying the festivities! Thank You!!
Yes!! was happy when i saw kenny observing :)
love your friend who comes by to enjoy watching you work. He's got the front row seat all of us on youtube wish we had!
Hey Ken,
Good to see you on the job. I carry the billy club in my truck all the time. Fond memories of our time during the Open House.
Jack & Pam from Indiana
This looks like a 3 generation project. We'll done in raising young men to know the value of a hard day of work! I have sons similar ages and it's a rarety to see father to son discipleship in common tasks.
Found your videos a couple of weeks ago, I'm a young Carpenter in Australia your videos are really useful and entertaining, thank you for making them
Oh you’ve got hours and hours ahead of you!
Love seeing Ken out sharing his knowledge and enjoying the learning that’s happening on this project!
I wish my dad would have been a journeyman. Now at 40 + I am having to keep up with times change. We're good though. I appreciate fellows
Well I agree with Duane -- glad to see Kenny on site.
Good crew. I worked with some well grounded young'uns today. Pruning in an orchard and sorting out the wood pieces big enough to be firewood for a local widow.
Some people are good, and DO good. Even in today's world.
I remember the video about the sling trucks, those things are amazing! Project is coming along great.
I just love everything about your videos. Your work ethic, intelligence and willingness to learn amaze me. You remind me of my dad and the values he instilled in me. I’m a red seal journeyman carpenter up in Alberta Canada and love all your videos!!!
What a great family project, great job teaching those boys right! I hope I can do something like this with my dad and my boys one day, that would be a dream come true.
Your narration always kinda reminds me of The Wonder Years, love the show.
Good morning EC. Things really coming together nicely. Nice to see some old school stuff here. Greetings from Jamaica 🇯🇲
I actually saw a documentary on the man who designed and built the first truck and conveyer system for delivering coal to homes in the north that used it for heating and I was in awe. When I saw the rock truck I smiled, I remembered that man and the documentary. That's why I love your channel so I can learn.
A former remodeling contractor, I always enjoy watching yer videos, always something more to learn. Now a semi drvr.
Good idea to have that coating on the back side of those CMU. A belt + suspenders approach.
A big plastic feed scoop works really well when grouting or core filling block
Works good for putting down mulch and compost, too. 😁
I see you have your grandson using the right tools, a wood float for moving and sealing concrete while getting the aggregate down and a mag float sealing and smoothing the concrete. Most people don’t realize how handy and fast a wood float is, nice job!
And when the jobs over a wire brush to clean up what went over the edge and in to the wall. 😎
Just, super good !
They broke the mold with you fella.
Slinger truck sure beats a wheelbarrow. Thanks for the update.
When you come to northern Maine make sure to try Houlton Farms Dairy chocolate milk!!
We will!!!! Thank you for recommending!
Good to see little people learning so they can build and repair in the future.
Very nice! 👍 Watching from Philippines 🇵🇭
Working with concrete/mortar: Gloves, eye protection. And when I'm opening those bags and tossing them around, a respirator. I was doing this kind of work a couple days ago.
Good technique on the vibrator on every ones part . Fast decent with a slow ascent .
Good work!
Slinging stones! Always something new to learn:)
I see you “graduated” to the two wheeler. 😁
At this moment, those kids have no idea how lucky they are to be working with grandpa!
I like the drainage system at the back of the block wall. Aussies call it 'Black jack tar' backfilling with granite stone road grade.
🌏🇭🇲
My back hurts watching this! Way to go fellas
4:04 "it wasn't EXACTLY my fault."
*_snort laugh_* Love you, Scott!
Good on you for having the kids work. You deserve everything you have and it's nice to
Nice video. Btw a sniper in ghillie suit is randomly crossing your garden at 2:07
Gotta love a good slinger. I just saved a whole days labor of 6 guys two weeks ago. Made money..
You have ENTS!!!!
Douglas County, eh? I was raised in Douglas County. Colorado! 🤠
That Umpqua chocolate milk is so dang good. Used to be able to get it down in Bend but no such luck in Portland! It’s salty and milkshakey.
Good Job guys,
Greetings,
Go Beavs!
From a proud Grandpa, ya gotta get the kid some construction grade suspenders.
Thank you
Love your work 👍
Do you find yourself using gravel more than you otherwise might with the availability of those slinger trucks?
Is the back of the house two different colors?
Yes! In the middle of a new paint job!
"There isn't much minus when it gets out there"😀😀😀
I would have kept that down pipe one or two feet back from the corner to keep it out of sight, assuming the spouting runs along the retaining wall side.
If you dump a wheelbarrow of concrete, you owe the crew a six pack (with this crew it’ll probably be chocolate milk rather than the canned adult beverage), so it looks like you might have already bought! Lol
Did anyone else notice that USMC sniper sneak past them at around 2:05?
@2:05 Who is the guy in the ghilly suit?
Having lived in Oregon and Roseburg for awhile I still notice how few houses use brick exteriors.
There’s a shortage of skilled masons in this country.
I gave this video a thumbs up just for the Umpqua Dairy Chocolate Milk.
I liked the spec house but knowing it was for someone else didn’t make me love it….. I love this project.
The family that builds together, stays together?
Someone forget finishing the paint on the house's back wall?
If there is any moisture in the soil at any time of the year waterproofing masonry is not optional.
@2:05 it looks like someone is using a comically bad disguise to sneak by you LOL
Since you filled the block, would a poured concrete wall have been more practical?
Part of me was hoping for some baby goats pulling floats.
Looks Nice!! I'm curious, why would You not put a french drain at the base of the wall before the rock was blown in?
Probably because it is open both ends. The water will run out the ends before it gets a chance to work its way into a perforated pipe.
Totally unrelated topic… do you know what pipe tobacco Ken smokes in his pipe ? 😊
The ice cream isn’t too bad either
Who is the guy I see in the chair watching seems in all of your videos
Anyone else wondering what walked in from the left at about 2:05?
Was actually just wondering where I'd hire a slinger in R'burg. Should have guessed Umpqua S&G would have one! Good to know and thx.
I once watched I psych thing were ones trained eye fixates on the subject .. nobody noticed the man in a monkey suit ..at about 9 min did I see a bush walking ?????
9/10 people did not see the walking bush!
And for the next week there wasn’t enough hand lotion on earth to keep all those hands from drying out
Today i'm go and show you how to lay block walls...
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I still say you'll be happier with a wingwall on the front of the building; left side facing the front; to contain the washed aggregate. Just me.
60lb bags would be nice here in New Zealand. 88lb are the standard here.
Why is there no block on some parts of the garage?
Framed walls in will be used in most places. I suspect block in that area due to landscaping and sloped area. Front knee wall in block for design/ appearance. And some strength, block wall can take a soft bump from car bumper
I hope the women get involved at some point
Who's the weird dude that is always sitting in the chair?
That’s a friend of Scott’s that did a bunch of cool craftsman style work before he ran into some health issues. I think his name is Kenny. If you watch the Spec House series, he’s around a lot and they do an entire episode about him and his previous work. It might be called “the man who changed my thinking about construction” or something like that. Worth watching.
No glasses, no gloves. Come on grandpa, these are rules I know you’d apply in the shop. Cement is corrosive on your skin and in your eyes.
Best family construction show. But, how about setting a better health example. Put a mask on and especially your grandchildren who wouldn't know the dangers you should. You are too good for this oversight.
Maybe teach the kids about PPE. This ain't 1960. 👎
We have a pink tool belt for the whiners and women folk . You could come in handy making snacks and getting the men some cold drinks . 1960 men were men . Today not so much . Evidenced by your need to "educate" your elders.
@@rdhudon7469 enjoy your Silicosis, do I need to tell you what that is? Is that word too big for you Mr 45 IQ? If you love your children you would protect them.
@@rdhudon7469 🎯
@@rdhudon7469 While I appreciate your sick burn, I have to say, there's nothing girly about protecting your lungs from silicosis.
My good friend is a double lung transplant, he's a master craftsman but was laid low by decades of breathing dust on job sites. He went from 220 lbs of solid muscle to 130 lbs. Twenty operations later he can barely lift a framing square without his hands and lips turning blue.
I myself am only thirty three and have early stage COPD from my own years of grinding concrete without a mask. Shits no joke man. My buddy in particular has an eleven year old son that he won't live to see graduate highschool all because it was, I suppose, seen as sissified to wear ppe back in his day. Nothing sissy about protecting yourself from a slow suffocating death. It's our job as older craftsmen to teach younger generations about the dangers involved in our work.
I don't drive a car with bad brakes, I change the brakes, and I don't mix or cut masonry without a mask.
Says the person that has probably never got their hands dirty.
He seems more like a helicopter than a teacher, he will always have something to critique
Looks like a total mess.
How so? That job site is picked up, it’s being backfilled as they go. I saw them washing the wall down after they filled the block wall, looks pretty good. Looks like one of the kids needs to sweep the floor but I’ll bet it’s done before the next step of the project.
Overall, well done!
Your enthusiasm spews every video, great video editing, I enjoy watching your profound knowledge of your craft. Keep em coming!
The best part of that video is @04:22 where your grandson is absorbing the knowledge and insight that you're sharing with him. He is a lucky kid.
I hope that black pipe was indeed a storm drain and not part of a leech field for the septic. 😅
The grandfatherly forefinger coming in to slide that spill into the void. Applause for those finishing touches.
I'm curious why you didn't just drop some fabric and use 3" perforated under the rock at the retaining wall, you're taking the roof water but could have a free foundation drain too.
Did I see that right? He can operate the truck/move it from outside the cab?
I came to the comments to ask this exact question. Eager to hear an answer!
You might have missed the tour of the Slinger truck episode. I thought is was great. th-cam.com/video/3LW9Yyq7dy4/w-d-xo.html
What's with the re-enactment of Macbeth at 2:03?
Anytime you fight any water intrusion it’s a good battle whether you think it’s needed or not. Sometimes you have to look at the cost of doing it now (the cost of a can of black waterproofing membrane) to the cost of what it would cost afterwards. Hand digging that already backfilled trench. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, I would have put three coats on and gone all the way to the top. It is out of sight anyway.
Looking great Scott and family.😊😊😊
I too have a Master Carpenter as a father inlaw and it is a wonderful thing!
Orange juice jugs (the narrow type) cut open are perfect for aiming the slop into the cells. :)
What a nice way to end my day!
Thanks, gents!
Wholesome and real people, keeping families and générations together. A lot to admire here. Bless you all and thanks for the content. 😇
I'm about to grout a block wall of my own. Everything I'm reading says ready mix cement is not grout and shouldn't be used. Does it really matter?
Great team work! Nice mixer with lots of patina…
Great team, great job great memories
Who's the man that sits in the chair and just watches? I love his supervisorial role in the all of this!
Who’s the old guy always sitting in the chair? Needs to get to work!😆
what is the price difference if you had truck deliver this?
