Semper Fi, I’m from central Texas, and we are praying for y’all. I’ve seen a lot of the destruction over there in Asheville, and I just pray for everyone over. Try to keep your head up and press forward. I know there are more men and women like you that are out there doing what needs to be done. 🇺🇸
Hello Tom from the Old Jarhead in devastated western north carolina. I was able to get cell from my onstar. No power no water, no cell, house is ok, but may trees down but they all fell away from the house. We live in Asheville area so you probably know what's going on. Keep us in your prayers. Many lost lives & some towns washed away. God bless brother & Semper Fi
@@oldjarhead1125 praying for y'all , here in Texas...y'all live in a beautiful area , praying everything gets back to somewhat as before or better ...I know a lot of precious lives were lost and injuries , praying for comfort from our Lord 🙏
Good Morning Tom and Crew. As always thanks for sharing parts of your day and profession with us. Have always enjoyed sitting on my front porch before my days begin and watching.
I've seen you guys do projects w minimal prep to omg prep. This one was not too bad. I have learned that what is under the concrete is just as important, if not more important than the concrete itself. One example of that was the exposed aggregate walks. All the prep was complete that morning. You ordered the trucks, and the pour began. Just one tiny, invisible thing was not right. The base stone was frozen. The next day, the edges of the walks had cracked. All of it had to be demolished and redone. I don't think I would have thought to put stone over the drain pipe to help funnel out any water elsewhere under the patio. Sort of a French drain. Very cool. Knowledge is power. When you have the knowledge, you have the power to create structures that will endure the elements and last much longer. Then, w the pour, you make sure it has the 2 or 3% fall so there's never any puddled water. Little things have big consequences. You see, I've been paying attention. I've learned a lot on this channel! Nice video, thanks!!👍❤️🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲
Hey Tom, thanks for the entertainment! I did want to call your attention to the video at 6:20 and 8:20 minutes in. The part about the downspout burial repeats itself. Don't know if that was by design, or just an editing oversight? Either way, good work, and anxious to watch the pour and stamping of this project in your next production . . .
I WAS TAUGHT A GOOD TIP ABOUT SLEEVES THAT IS HANDY FOR THE OWNER TO LOCATE SLEEVES AT A LATER DATE. NAIL A SHORT PEICE OF CHAMPFER STRIP ON THE EGDE FORM ABOVE THE SLEEVE WHICH WILL LEAVE A VEE GROOVE IN THE EDGE OF THE CONCRETE WHEN IT IS STRIPPED.
Looking good Tom, enjoy the warmth, won't be long where you guys live - Old Man Winter is going to bite ya lol Thanks for bringing us along ! from SE Texas Bear ❤💯🙏
For Christmas last year my wife bought me the Dewalt grease gun because I already have Dewalt tools. What a difference it is now greasing my tractor! Before pulling the handle I don't think I was getting grease all the way through.
Tom, you need to check out the new 301.7. We have 3 of the ones like you have and just bought a new one. They are so much better of a machine! More stable, joystick steer, there a touch bigger, more power and they got rid of what we always call the violater. The levers that always go up your butt as you get on and off.
Tom. You really need to have someone (Emily? Steven? Donna?) make an Ed "Big Daddy" Roth-style decal (and T-shirt) stating "Official member of the Caterpillar Wheelie Club". 😄
If you use rebar caps , when the rebar gets pulled out you will be left with a cap inside you that will cause infection ! Much better to avoid OSHA rules if at all possible, but that is true of anything government says on any subject.
Tom, just a quickie, can you tilt the head cam up a bit when on the excavator as all we see is your feet. You try to explain about the bucket angle, but we can't see it.
I would be looking at what materials you use that are imported. Rebar, dyes and tints, wire mesh would be something to look at...Coffee of course, is imported mostly from S. America. Get extra!
Does burying drainpipes, conduit, and replanting trees, and shrubs add to the concrete price quoted or do you just fix what needs to be done since you have the equipment already there? You guys sure do nice professional looking work.
TOM, so how many pounds of screws yinz guys use through the season? I'm sure you can't pick them all up after the pour! Thanks for the continuing videos. For you guys it's prolly like the movie,... 'Ground Hog Day' !

Anyone else waiting for Tom to have spilled his coffee? Just me? Okay 😂
Excellent preparation makes for an excellent job - as usual!
Thanks again!

That ramp trick is great.
I thought it was too steep.
Stamped concrete 10 to 20 yards plain concrete 30 to 40 yards
Sorry, wrong comment thank you very much
Good job guys
very interesting stuff. Good video . All pros as usual!
Very nice work!
That's going to be a nice pour 👍💯
Well done
Hey Tom looks like you can use the tilt trailer Mike won’t want.
That 301 is the handiest machine. It has to be the difference between being competitive and not being competitive on a lot of those tight jobs.
always a pleasure watching you guys.
Good morning!
The feeling of déjà vu. Suddenly I knew what Tom was going to do and say. So weird. haha
I had the same thing happen to me here, so it must be an overall glitch in the matrix !
@@davidp4350NO, I think it was just the way we were all holding our mouths is awe😂😂😂
Glitch in the matrix. Looking for Mr. Smith.
GOOOOOOOOD
MAAAAAWNIN EVERYONE OUT THE IN CWTH’s VIDEO LAND!!!…Tom are you ever able to finish a cup of coffee? 😂
Have a day
Mr Haus I don't remember watching you guys do curb. I'll have to look through older videos

The man said, "If you trip on them, they won't go all the through you" Thats why we use rebar caps. OSHA is hell on those things in D.C. Area.
If you use rebar caps , when the rebar gets pulled out you will be left with a cap inside you that will cause infection ! Much better to avoid OSHA rules if at all possible, but that is true of anything government says on any subject.

Sorry about that
What’s it gonna take to get you up to Michigan to do a 6000 sq foot driveway for me???…I have plenty of coffee!!
If you pay no adds

TH-cam is getting absolutely ridiculous with the amount of advertisements now! It’s every minute or two! 12 mins in and seven ads!!!
And they seem to be political !
How about when an add pops up, you skip it and a split second later another add 🙄
👍
With these hands.
I 5 lbs sledge would have been a bit easier 😮😅
