That's a helluva lot of concrete for lake front! All the cabins 'round here are lucky if they have a grade beams. The owner's really roughin it at the lake, lol.
I love that stamped concrete design. That slab turned out nice. Even though the build won't be pumping concrete, I hope you take us along for some updates. I'm a carpenter in Maine and I like to see the different construction methods from around the world.
Man, that looks wet. looks like 6" slump. Engineers would be jumping all over us for that, Lol. Never mind my bitchin', watching these vids make me miss driving mixer, (a bit). I also did a short stint as a batch man but it was too boring so I went back to driving.
Looking good Jeff I'm hoping to get over to the USA next year going to take about 10 Weeks going coast to coast and I have to stop off and pump a few Job's
We had something like that on our ranch. Our outside facilities were in the well pump house by the windmill. You were not allowed in the main house until you got cleaned up and took off your muddy boots.
The fan clutch will cycle with engine temp, it also cycles fairly regularly if the AC is on and the truck is stationary. The ac doesn't have to be set on cold either. Like mine, defrost and feet and dash will trigger the ac compressor. Your trucks have a lot more electronics stuff than my 05 sterling though lol. From the videos it sounds like the fan is working like it should
@@MuddyfeetConcretePumping I thought so too when I first got the ac working. It’s an air powered clutch so it’s all or nothing unlike a pickup where the fan will move air whether it’s fully engaged or not. In mine the fan doesn’t hardly move at idle. I’m a mechanic but I’m no big diesel professional. Running high idle with the pto engaged might have its own demand on the fan, but if you want to test half the theory ask Bill to turn all the climate controls to off for a while on an early morning and see what happens
The fan clutch sounds like it's working right. As long as the coolant is full it's just hot air temperature keeping the engine hot and the fan is cycling. Just make sure the coolant is full.
Hi Jeff, The fan clutch is cycling constantly not because of coolant temp but because the AC pressure on the high side or liquid side is rising up to trip the high pressure switch. When the pressure in the high side of the system gets too high, the pressure switch activates the fan to pull air across the condenser and bring the pressure back down. You could turn the AC off when pumping and the fan would only cycle when the coolant temp gets warm enough to engage the fan. Hope this helps! Just remember to turn the AC on when you clean-out so your truck is cooled off for the ride home!
I’m pretty partial to them. Not only are they one of the best. But the old man was my first employer in the construction business. I talk about them in the podcast I did with Dirt Perfect on his podcast channel a few points from perfect. th-cam.com/video/8dIs7w3TUXE/w-d-xo.html
Tom we really haven’t got much done to the house at the ranch, we’ve been concentrating on getting moved out of the other house and getting it fixed up and ready to sell. It went on the market Friday so I hope to get back to business at the ranch now.
I’m a mixer driver, and I just want to say, that throwing hands and arms stuff pisses drivers off. (What the pump operator did at the beginning of the video). 80% of the pump operators I’ve been around have always seemed to be in a pissed off arrogant mood for some reason ? Communication is key, you can’t always expect people to know what to do either. If people want things done a certain way then tell someone to do it that way then. Just my opinion, but great pour man !
Well we understand what your saying 100%. But what you don’t know is we’ve told that same driver a 100 times once we start to prime out we don’t need to stop the pump until it primed out. And you can see in the video he starts adding water to the load after we started pumping. If you stop the pump before you prime out you take a chance for the prime water to cause the concrete to segregate and plug us up. I respect your opinion and it is valued. Thanks for watching!!!
Generating your own content again Jeff ??? 🤣🤣 That was a smooth mix, plenty of sand in it ? Slab does look good enough to seal and leave as a feature, have done that over here, had 100mm (4") of insulation and underfloor heating pipes under the slab before we poured, got as good finish as yours !!! Time lapse of the whole job was good, explanation of dousing the slab makes sense, and it works a treat !!!

great video Jeeff,nothing better thank Sunday morning with my coffee and muddyfeet THANKS
Appreciate ya!!!

Smooth mud another nice job
Why the driver would stop during priming is beyond me
Cheers from Nova Scotia bud
I know.
Thanks for watching!!!
R u gonna sawcut any control joints in it to help control the cracking?
I doubt it. On a slab this shape it’s hard to guess where the most pressure will be. What are your thoughts or where would you put them?
Where every u have concrete corners. It's hard to determine less I was there to c all the points but u might be alright.

Never saw anyone hydrate a slab like that
It was very hot those days. Really needed a lot of water. It’s paid off because I’m not sure their are any cracks yet.
Great videos every week brother! Very helpful and entertaining
Thanks for watching!!!
Looking good Jeff I'm hoping to get over to the USA next year going to take about 10 Weeks going coast to coast and I have to stop off and pump a few Job's
That would be awesome!
Wheres the slab for 2 boom and 1 trailer pump garage?
Not on this one. Lol
Hopefully you will bring us along as you build your house. Great video.
I will do some updates. Probably be on the MuddyfeetTV TH-cam channel
@@MuddyfeetConcretePumping I’m subscribed the MuddyfeetTV so looking forward to the updates. Have a great Sunday!!
Man you do the same!
Good job 👍
Thanks for watching!

Don’t want them Muddyfeet in the house
I want to see more footage with that crew
I have other videos with them. I have one coming up where I actually pour concrete with them.
Well alrighty then, color me confused. I thought that retaining wall went in front of your folks place, next door to your place?
We ended up trading them places.
@@MuddyfeetConcretePumping I kinda figured. Thanks for taking time to clarify. Looking forward to the build.

I hope so. Just seems excessive to me.

It drives me nuts

@@tyholm3135 you nailed it and I had forgotten about the a/c system
what is the fastes that you have pumped a slab
Honestly I couldn’t tell you. We can empty a truck in about 3-4 minutes
must be a good crew for a concrete pumper to use them, lord knows you've seen the best and the worst finishers in the business, love the layout.

Buenos días excelente trabajo 👍 saludos 🙏👏👊💪💯
Good morning from Texas!
I haven't seen much from Bill on his You tube page lately. I was wondering how his house is coming along.
Tom we really haven’t got much done to the house at the ranch, we’ve been concentrating on getting moved out of the other house and getting it fixed up and ready to sell. It went on the market Friday so I hope to get back to business at the ranch now.
Man, where did you get that mud from? That was some of the nicest concrete I've seen you pour in a long while.
I ordered a special mix so it would finish nice.
Good morning when you load a video when the construction go bad ,the form open all time come some wrong in the construction site👍
jeff you got more finishers than ryan
Easy money
