All day homie. The crew we had on this pour really worked out. Thanks for the comment and support.

Thank you and thanks for watching!

Same here, I always like watching channels from all sides of the country and all types of weather. I watch people in Australia deal with hot weather and people near the great lakes deal with cold weather. It's always nice to see how other people do their work. What part of the country are you working in? Thanks for your comment and support by the way.

Hell yeah, true that! 👍

We really appreciate you giving us some of your time during your lunch break. Hopefully the videos are worth watching. We appreciate your comment and support!

Right on! Thank you for your comment and support. Hope the weather has been good to you guys up north.

I have dedicated some time to find reliable, efficient, good finishers. I only know a few great ones. The others are good enough because I keep a close eye through the pour. This pour did have a good line up though. Pouring early helps. But if needed too I could gather maybe 10-15 finishers. And if need be I can step in to take the place of 2 of them atleast. Thank you for your comment and support.

When we started the steps I was having this thought. I was glad to know this is an option though.

I do not, but I drove by a month later and it lightened up for sure. Came out real nice.

Thank you, I appreciate your comment. Keep checking in for new videos.

We will not be sealing it. Too many of the brands of penetrating sealers have a bad reputation of leaving the color "blotchy" . So what we do is pour low slumps with Micro fiber so that the surface has a better chance of not spalling. As for a film forming sealer. We have considered it but they make the surface slippery plus this driveway has a decent slope so we did not want to risk it.

Don't remember. Total Cost was around 14k. Materials were about 4k. So labor was probably 10k. I would have to look into it to get you an exact answer. And it was 6 finishers plus me and my wife. I am a finisher, wife is more of a labor. And my dad is a master concrete Mason. He just gets paid for supervision and a second set of eyes to help me with quality control.

@@jmconcretecoloradosprings got no biggy jw

Thank you, we really appreciate your support. And we hope to continue to post more and better videos in the future. I have Some ideas we are tossing around that I hope people will like.

Yes they are, bobcat "orange' tracks. Usually once you are done a simple broom or leaf blower can erase the marks.

Yup, this is before we went with just micro fibers.

36.5 inches with narrow tracks and narrow bucket. 44 wide with wide bucket. Don't know how wide it is with wide tracks.

Muchas muchas gracias primo!

Didn't need to cover them.

Thank you and that's a good observation. We had mentioned it to our customer but they declined and decided to leave it as it was prior to use showing up.

Good point, I have noticed that either way you only lose a little bit of traction. I appreciate your comment and support for our channel.

90% of what I watch on here is concrete or concrete related. Tools, Job sites, all kinds of stuff. It's just fun to watch and see it done. Stick around. I have some things I have been planning for my channel that no one else has done. Within a month it will be up. Thank you for your comment and support.

We use the rebar because the most important part of any form of reinforcement in a slab is placement. Wire mesh gets stepped on and isn't uniform through the slab. It ends up on the ground. Even rebar can be that way if you don't use chairs. I'd your reinforcement is evenly placed through the slab. Both spacing and height from the ground. It will have a hugely positive effect on the over all job.. And when we attach to the garage it's pretty simple. Drill some holes and hammer in some pins.

@@jmconcretecoloradosprings Thanks for your reply, would have been good to know this info from your video.

@@allenrj1 Good observation and you make a valid point which I agree with. After I post videos I sometimes see where I could have added more information. But once it's posted I get lazy on editing all over again. I am trying to add more as I post videos. Better editing and just making them far better in terms on educational value. But always know that if you have any questions you can comment on here or email me or call. I try to educate whenever I can as best as I can. Thank you for your comment and your support for our channel.

@@jmconcretecoloradosprings Thank you for your replies, my father was in the commercial construction business years ago as his son you tent to pick up a few points

@@allenrj1 That's awesome, you can see my dad on the videos once and a while. And to this day he still teaches me things that I didn't know.

If I recall the color was about 130 per yard more on top of the base cost of the concrete. So about 1700 extra just for the color. But don't quote me on that. My memory is fuzzy on those details.

@@jmconcretecoloradosprings wow. I didn't realize it costs that much.

@@skliros9235 The color black is even more expensive. Like 275 more per yard on top of the base cost. I poured a little of it this year. Check out the stamped patio video with the border. Crazy expensive. Very delicate also.

Thank you, we take pride in what we do.

Doing a checkerboard pattern takes a lot more work. And it's so that when the sun is setting and rising it looks like a checkerboard pattern. It takes so much coordination to achieve. It would have been much easier to just broom it all the same direction. Combine that with the picture frame pattern and I will only do it with a large crew that knows what they are doing. The amount of communication and coordination to achieve both looks requires a good team.

@@jmconcretecoloradosprings alright I’m sorry for play hating I didn’t know that’s what you were going for my bad man great work

@@Niko-iq8bc Your good brother. I'm not mad. I just like to explain why I did it. Some people on here are concrete finishers and some are not. So I like to explain in detail what we do and how we do. I appreciate your comments and support for our channel though.

@@jmconcretecoloradosprings I’m a concrete finisher and have been my whole life but I usually do the hand float finish or the rosette finish so I’m not used to seeing the broom finish patterns

@@Niko-iq8bc I love seeing the float swirl finish. That finish with a picture frame pattern looks clean AF . Glad to see finishers like what we do. We really appreciate the support.
