It’s gratifying to me to view the Gunpowder and Freedom channel. Your son is far and away ahead of the “curve” which I can attribute to your influence over the years. The same openness, honesty and integrity really shines through. What a blessing.
I have never seen a concrete company be as quick, efficient, and high quality in their concrete work. I do high end residential landscaping and am always looking for a great concrete crew. I wish you guys were up in Ontario, Canada.
Once again I see one beautiful estate made even more beautiful w your decorative cement. I just love the almost wrap around decks! The family can have the shade or sun. It has a rough look now w all the construction and unfinished landscaping, but after all is done and the driveway poured it will have such a level of eye candy, people passing by will be ooohing and aaahhhing out loud! Workers walking on my fresh pour would drive me nuts! Honestly I think you and your crew handle the pressures of your profession very well. I guess the years of experience will give you that ability. I actually didn't know or see all the pressures of pouring concrete, and what you guys do is a long way from ordinary, which just adds to the pressure. Plus, both your boys are busy building their own homes! Never a dull moment would be an understatement for sure. I really do enjoy watching this channel Tom, thank you and the guys for letting us come along!👍👌❤🇺🇸🇺🇸
The reason I enjoy watching Concrete with the Hauses, is professionals doing an awesome job at their profession. Also now that I'm retired I love work, I can watch it for hours. Especially when there's a blizzard going on outside. Starting about 1:00 a.m. this morning with freezing sleet , rain , and snow blowing from the West Northwest now , and looks like it's not going to be a letting up for a while. Question for the day, what makes a professional an expert? The crew that goes with Tom to The High Ground compound in West Virginia become experts. They are doing a job more than 20 miles away from home.
GREAT to see your ATTENTION to the smallest details and always striving for PERFECTION! Personal traits you have clearly passed along to your sons and the rest of the crew! And NO YELLING! Low pressure, chilled atmosphere in the work environment! Very uncommon in the construction business!
I'd love to find a place maybe on the other side of West Chester a piece of land do a fancy place with all steel rivets glass concrete and teak. I'd love to have a fabrication shop in the back and just make stuff. I envy you guys I know you put the time the effort and work in and it was a lot of blood and sweat but I really do and I appreciate everything.
I think I have an idea what would grow your channel. Show frequent videos of projects that a 2 or 3 man crew could do without expensive equipment and massive experience. We all know that most of us will never be as good as you and your crew but would still like to tackle the small jobs. We still like to see the complicated stuff you do too.
Tom, I watch them all, and Mike Morgan sent me. I have a question for you on who your audience(s) can be, and I see at least two important types of videos for you to create. First might be “trade education”, where you help develop younger people in this area, including those that may not do concrete full time (folks that do other construction as well). The second would be future customers that want concrete work. Now most would be outside your area, but that’s TH-cam overall. You could really help people understand design options, how to incorporate concrete with other landscaping, color and stamping options, maintenance, etc. I think this second group might be one of the larger growth areas for your channel, but just my opinion. I’m an electrical contractor, and I’m not a TH-camr, but I enjoy your channel. Oh, one other type of video you might ponder: the ASMR group, where you do work with no talking a quiet background sounds; these types of videos are popular and what you do CAN be relaxing to watch. Keep up the good work, and keep working on the music integration 🙂.
Thank you very much for those good ideas. That is one of the hardest things about videoing I feel like keep repeating our daily routine so I’m looking for new content that is helpful thanks again
Tom, would you take the time to reintroduce your team to us once again…. And point out your sons please. Thanks… I’ve been enjoying your videos since I first met you OM Outdoors with the Morgan’s. Are you going to West Virginia?
Curious Tom, does your area near Pgh have non-permeable coverage limits on residential lots? We have that in many location in TX and the permits to build or remodel will be rejected or not issue an occupancy permit if it is exceeded.
Another great job Team! Each a little different. I love your work. I like your choice of music on this one. What's the name of it? Greetings from that Old Jarhead in WNC
What were you spraying as you rolled the texture wheel on there? I heard someone say it was release but what product? Why did you sweep the wet cement? To even out the sealer? What about when you added the powder to the water in the sprayer? What was that?
Curious, what would happen if the customer just can't live with the positioning of the joint spacing or saw cuts? Is there ever any discussion with "that type" of customer ahead of time?

I was just there three weeks ago

Sometimes a little bit of yelling but that doesn’t really help things
Beautiful job Tom and crew! Enjoy watching and teaching this old dog (me) new tricks. And how time flies.
it sure does
Your level of perfection and professionalism is so very impressive!!
Thank you very much
Concrete is elevated to art. Nice job, Mr Tom. Thanks for posting.
Thank you
Such a great working crew and they are so fortunate to have a knowledgeable hands on boss. Thanks for sharing videos.
They are the best
Great time of year for mud and paint. Nice job !
Thanks
Really like the time lapse segments Tom. Great video thumbs up.
You always want to do the best you can do on flat work but having a really good edge means everything.

Keep at it it’ll happen
It's not the Palace of Versailles ... but it looks Super Nice ! 🤩
😇❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Always improving your process, brooming the color looks better to me, I like that.
Me to thanks
Another great video. Finishing concrete is such an art.
The guys who did my porch didn’t even put a sill under my doors. Looks unfinished.
That is one of the reasons I started this channel to show people different possibilities
Beautiful job once again.What an awesome crew. Back down the Jersey shore finishing my buddies seasonal bar. P. S. YES it's pouring rain good Lord!
Yep it’s been raining all day here

Thank you very much
Awesome job as always your crew rocks
Thank you very much
Beautiful!
Thanks
Awesome,,,,, again !
very nice , Always enjoy watching your videos
Thanks
Lovely work asusual🍻👌👍🤜
I love concrete, more specifically HPFRCs. why are there no relief lines on the bigger patio portion? nevermind, I just saw it towards the end
Dont know what is planed down the road for the outside edge on the patio, seems the edge could have had more of a haunch? Great job guys!
Next one might show you more
@@Concretewiththehauses Thanks and have a good weekend!
Very nice work guys 👦 👏 👍
Nice lookin patio & side walk ,do you guys ever do any commercial work ?
Yes we just poured a 90 yard floor will be posting in a couple of weeks
Great video! Great work. Does this concrete have color mixed in or is it regular concrete with storm grey? Thanks for posting these videos!
Regular concrete storm gray antiquing
Tom, would you take the time to reintroduce your team to us once again…. And point out your sons please. Thanks… I’ve been enjoying your videos since I first met you OM Outdoors with the Morgan’s. Are you going to West Virginia?
Yes we will be doing an intro pretty soon
Curious Tom, does your area near Pgh have non-permeable coverage limits on residential lots? We have that in many location in TX and the permits to build or remodel will be rejected or not issue an occupancy permit if it is exceeded.
Yes they do I’m not exactly sure what the percentage is
Idk anything about concrete installation, but whats stopping a municipality from adding those stamps to a die-cast road roller?
Another great job Team! Each a little different. I love your work. I like your choice of music on this one. What's the name of it? Greetings from that Old Jarhead in WNC
Greetings thanks
What were you spraying as you rolled the texture wheel on there? I heard someone say it was release but what product? Why did you sweep the wet cement? To even out the sealer? What about when you added the powder to the water in the sprayer? What was that?
Tom just watched Steve do a second perk test. The excavator window has a Crack in it. Steve says he didn't do it. You back that up? Haha
We all know Steve cracked it
Dose anyone ever tell you how they want the tools cuts to look, you do great Crack Management, this video is just another great looking job. Nice work
We come up with that ourselves
Im sure you have explained it before, but how do you decide when to use the saw cut vs laying down the cuts as you go?
The bigger the job the more likely we saw cut
Thank you
Great job where did you get those rollers if I may asked Tony from Las Cruces NM
Bon tool
Curious, what would happen if the customer just can't live with the positioning of the joint spacing or saw cuts? Is there ever any discussion with "that type" of customer ahead of time?
Sometimes we have discussions on it most of the time I just place where I feel they’re needed
Tom are you putting pressure on the roller or just using the weight of the roller?
On this job just a little bit of pressure concrete was quite soft
Good work Tom. I'm from the pittsburgh area as well. Where do you guys get those texture rollers from?
I get mine from Bon tool I believe AR Chambers has them or George Wilson
@@Concretewiththehauses awesome thank you sir! Keep the videos coming love the channel
Haven't know you long but you seem to be the measurement for what's good and quality
Thank you
Questions where I can get the rolling stamps
Carol Supply or Bon tool
You have two sons working for you right? Love your work!
Correct thank you very much
It's like kids playing in the mud
I feel that way every day
Around here (wisconsin) I see jitter-bugs to screed and belts for delivery on a lot of jobs. Do you do that in PA as well?
We had one company with a belt have not seen that truck in years
Are the rollers weighted ? They look light.
Not in this video
It looks like a 3/8 minus mix why not a 3/4 ?
Nicer texture with a smaller aggregate
Wondering do you have to pay more for concrete if you wheel barrow it in. Takes more time for the concrete company ?
They give you so much time if you go over yes there will be a charge
@@Concretewiththehauses Yeah time is money. Thanks
nice
superb finish just a shame that small step its neither a step or a finish it needs a tad bigger
Since the beginning of the year has the price of concrete from the concrete company gone higher, just like everything else?
Oh yes just like everything else
Where can i buy one of those rollers?
Carroll Supply
Where did you find the rollers?
Bon tool
@@Concretewiththehauses Thanks!
As always great video 📹. I l
hello Tom. Do you need a worker for your wonderful team? I would like to work for you 👍👍👍
Yes
🎉🎉🎉
Bellissimo!
Thanks
I'm going to start doing squiggle joints so you can't tell they're not straight. Kidding
That would drive me crazy
good video.....how about more interaction with the crew.....feels like everyone is in a bad mood...lol
Sorry Just busy
Less talking more working
I agree
