Great job all around..i also agrree 💯 on the j bolt topic.. Thanks so much for the shout out🎤 Dirtboss

Well done, Jesse! Start to finish, you went through all the details very well and it was very informative. The J bolt issue makes total sense to me and you did a great job explaining your reasoning. It was pretty cool to watch the season changing as you worked and the shout outs to Dirt Boss and Mike Day were really thoughtful. Thanks for all the hard work putting this together.

Appreciate all the hard work you did making this video. High quality content. Really enjoyed it and learned a lot.

Great intuitive details in settings up a concrete slab, keep those videos coming.

This was super informative and also totally convinces me to find a qualified concrete company in my area. I don't have the experiance, tools or back to do concrete work.

Great stuff Jesse! I could watch this stuff all day. I’m sure you’re thankful you get to work in the great outdoors, most of us are stuck in a building or office all day.

Dirt Boss Tri-County Masonry is awesome. I love his videos. He is well worth checking out!!

Definitely wanna see an update on this building when it's done 👀 awesome slab!!

I just did a pour for my slab house using only foam as the outside forms. No wood forms, no metal or wooden steaks. Using my mini excavator, digging trench around outside. Lay 2' foam flat on the bottom and 2' vertical. This gives you 4'of frost protection, (that's required here in Wisconsin ). Using string to set the vertical foam to the size needed. But leave string line up for the pour, you can easily adjust the foam when the concrete is being poured. This way don't need to go back and do the foam after and don't need to bring form boards, nothing at all. Really works great and super fast!

Hard work. Concrete and video editing. Thanks for your time and effort.

Thanks for the referral to Dirt Boss Tri County excavating! He's got lots of great content!

Its 3 years on now, enjoyed that a lot, thanks :)

Jesse, those are control joints to keep cracking in the joint... expansion joints use the asphalted felt to control expansion. Expansion joints are typically used in this application where the apron meets the slab or similar instance.

Nice job and very generous of you to give such a positive shoutout about a fellow youtuber.

Today’s constractor must be an expert at their work and good at filmography to capture their expertise! Magnificent! 👍

Sixty years ago I worked for my foreman father on a big construction project. That's when I learned about anchor bolts instead of J bolts.

Jesse i liked the way you did not over-work the cream out of the concrete.Love the finished look of the concrete.

You do great work Jesse thanks for the video showing how its done.

Great tip on the wedge anchors with epoxy. Always learning a lot on KZfaq. Thanks for sharing.

Nice job Jesse, and man what a beautiful area! Thanks for sharing. DC

Now THAT was a very well put together video. You are getting better editing and producing.. Keep up the good work.

Cool, you guys did a great job and a lot of hard work, you liking that skid steer thanks for the video.

Thanks for this. I'm pouring two 16 x 28 foot pads at either end of my garage to extend my garage from 36 x 28 to 72' x 28. Therefore this was useful to see. Your dozer would have been useful for that one corner, but the extra trip would probably slowed you down. Thanks for the video.

OK, dude....I was critical of one of your previews videos and you responded pretty kindly, so I stuck around. I am about 10 minutes in and this is frigging AWESOME! I really hope this kind of pace keep up through this video. You added the music, but sparingly. I'm excited for the next hour!

To square up the building with all string lines out just measure the diagonals of the whole building. The 3,4,5 method is good, but measuring the diagonal is a more accurate square up as well.

Great video. Really appreciate all the detail explanations....as well as the effort to put this together.

I need to make some new floors around the house in Chiang Mai Northern Thailand. Good to see how to build these to the highest standard, now I can take the 3 standards that matter to me Thai, US and Australian and make sure we meet or exceed all 3 - thanks Andrew.

Great job Jesse! Keep those video's coming..👍

You do some Beautiful work.. love watching your video

I'm impressed with myself, I was actually able to see the black Sharpie mark on the string line.

Gotta love the power screen!

Trabalho fantástico ! Adorei ! 🥰Que por do sol maravilhoso !

Great video . I could never do work like that . Heck I don't even know how to use that lazer level . Looks like someone has a few Jamaica Cottage buildings and just bought a big building .

From the UK......Great videos....

Kind of like making and frosting a Giant Cake. ~Great video Jesse!

This is why I pay guys like you to do this, nice work! Any chance you will do a follow up on the end product? Looks interesting...

I use a²+b²=c² formula to make 90° corners. mostly 6²+8²=10²(Pythagoras theoram ). mark 1 string line at 6meters from the corner & other line at 8 meters, now start measuring from either 6m mark to 8m mark(or 8m to 6m), wherever 8m & 10m connects mark the point, set up a rebar piece put a string line on it & you got your 90° corner.( meters in bigger projects & foots in small projects)

Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Great show’s thanks for sharing with us.

...lookin 'good, nice work...

Nice job Jesse, keep it up.

Always enjoy your vids Jesse

Great job! Congratulations ! Thanks ! take care !

Fantastic job 👏

BEAUTIFUL WORK

Very good vid extremely interesting well done you sure know your business.

I have a very similar project coming up in the Spring and I learned a lot, Jesse. Very informative. Great editing with your video. I love the cutting shots (multiple angles) and those drone scenery shots cut in. Awesome as always, Jesse! Thank you very much.

Great Job! Nice video Thanks

Nice work !!!

Awesome video. I work for a part of Bonded Concrete. My part is called Century Acquisitions. I pour concrete mostly in CT, MA, and Eastern NY

Missed this Vid, Thank yoy

Great work. On to the next job :)

look like a video from andrew camarata but great job man! Very informative for a young carpenter like like me

If a Structural engineer oversaw this, it would need F6 Rio and Rio chairs at 1/3 the top pour thickness and integrated channels @ 2.4M with F10 deformed bar and F8 trench mesh. The last time I saw mesh sitting on the ground with concrete poured over was in China on a road project when the engineer was away. :)

Once you see the bucket flipping you off, you can't un-see the bucket flipping you off....

Nice Work !!!!

Many chose a tighter pack with fines with no room for water because the less water in the compaction, the less water to freeze and expand. With larger rock, there is more space for water and that water expands by 10% when it freezes. If the base can hold 10% water, it can freeze and expand 1%. If it can hold 25% water between larger rock, it can freeze and expand 2.5% Any extra strength from J-bolts is over-kill. Wedge anchors or screw in concrete bolts have plenty of strength. Much easier to get a smooth surface for bottom plates without J-bolts. Concrete is plenty strong at 7 days. If the customer wants quick access, use higher grade concrete. The added cost to use higher grade concrete is often worth it to get crews working a week or 2 earlier.

Man, the disdain I have for concert work. You guys worked your ass off doing this one!

High wind areas I would much rather use J Bolts. Wedge Anchors are not as effective and in many areas they won't pass code. You did a FANTASTIC JOB, VERY IMPRESSIVE JOB‼️👍👍. Vinny 🇺🇸

Nice work! I'm not contractor, but I enjoyed your process & can understand your rational for particular processes. Thanks for video! P.S. Can EASILY & READILY see vast improvement in quality of your videos! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽Nice! 😎

1:06:25 I thought that was a snowboard being used to screed concrete for a second :D

Nice video and great work

AC did some work at this site, recognized the 2 opposing sheds. Nice job on the slab

Excellent finish work buddy, first class !

Excellent video!

I kept waiting for the dog to walk across

1.08:46 Buddy the foreman decided to stroll right across the top in order to check your work for proper denseness. Great job to the 4 legged site inspector LOL!!!

Do you hate the leaves falling on top of your new concrete after it’s been finished and drying.

Nice work

I think that is one of the only driver's I have seen that worked with the crew to make it easier. It seems that most of the time they are trying to blow out the forms and get the truck empty as soon as possible to get to another load. Also, when I become king of the world I am making all concrete trucks front loaders.

Wow , that was great Jesse. One subject start to finish good running time lots of information for no nothings like me. I really enjoyed the video.

Nice job Lads ,hard word is not easy .

Pink foam on board boards excellent. This is what the South should do, amoung other things.

Would it be possible to attach the beeping height measuring stick directly to the front pusher of the digger so that you can get a better sense at what hight the gravel should be?

Great Pour Men

WoooHooo Skid steer in action !!!! 1:12:00

while digging the footers i se many roots do these need to be killed if so how?

You are correct no j bolts for me if the anchors fail the structure is gone already

good job man

The anchor bolt stuff you talked about is that ok with the building inspector

Great video! Nice music on the outro

Always power trowel the opposite way you rod. Your form could use work. When using power trowel on bottom go right . Go left on top to wipe out your line from bottom pass.

I like no concrete in contact with the outside world - all foam insulated. Best way to go. Not just warm but also dry!

The English car hiding was either a Morris Oxford or an Austin Cambridge. They were the same shape and made by the same car company (BMC) but different interiors I thunk.

I'm 6 minutes into this and thinking: "He's making Shedhenge!".

Could you use a bigger bucket for moving excavated material?

We use 1/2" x 7" wedge anchors same as you AND if we don't do the slab and the previous person put "J" bolts in.....We cut them off, drill and use wedge anchors. The towns will accept Simpson STB2-50700 anchors. It is so much easier and faster with wedge anchors and we have never had a problem in 20yrs.

Great Job Jesse!

The steel stakes you use on the form, do they have holes drilled in them do they? Could you explain how they are made.

Yeah! much easier to drill holes and put anchor bolts after

How big can you go with an alaskan slab? I have always heard 24x24 but I see people putting in much bigger now. I would like a 45x45 whats your opinion?

Jesse: What's the WEIRDEST thing you've ever found while digging?

That's cool to see. And you're right, there's not a lot of good videos about foundation work out there (compared to other construction stuff anyways). One question tho; no ground frost insulation under the slab? I'm from Finland, so maybe the climate is a bit different, but here they put thick insulation under the slab to keep the frost from getting to the concrete and breaking it.

dam leaves on fresh concrete!

buy some wall straightening turnbuckles ---- cheap, reusable, works with 'holey rod ' stakes and it replaces labor

No radiant tubing? Customer missed an opportunity. Cheap to add for future heat option.

Hi Jesse, just curious if there are stone slinger trucks in your area? I see that you and Andrew both do a lot of your own hauling on jobs like this. In my area, we typically use slingers and keep up with a rake and laser as the stone is being slung. I did a project in Watertown and there weren’t any in that area...

Jesse in your digging with your excavations have you ever dig up any thing unusual just wondering because I have hammers and all kind of old faction tool and things just wondering if you have

Damn leaves! :)

Wooo I thought it was going to be a bunker by the video tag. Boy I don't understand much about cement work lol.

Nice job man, good work all around 👍🇺🇸👍. Don't you just LOVE power trowels 🤘🤘 You got a new subscriber.
