What is amazing is the range of skills required for pouring concrete. From the guy that holds the hose to reduce the surges for the man guiding the hose. To the guy with the wheelbarrow that needs a board to tell him where to dump his load. To the guy with the pusher that gets the concrete to approximately the correct depth. To the guy squatting with the long tube who makes the first level surface. To the trowel craftsman. And then there are the few experts who go from craftsmanship to artistry. A rare minority.

People don't realize how hard it is find skilled professionals who actually take pride in their work to a point where they are meticulous about it. The concrete crew and the finisher are those professionals. I've worked with a few contractors in my life and it's tough to find ones who's motto isn't "It's good enough". Great job.

Seriously, Dan the Trowel Man was the star of this show. He indicated that he's been doing this for 12+ years! On the one hand, his skills bear that out. But how do his knees still bend? I think we have to give Dan credit for his trim body being a big part of his success. You can't do hard work like that, using your body and especially your knees, if you are a fat bastard. He floats above that concrete like a feather. Keep it up as long as you can, Dan!

I've done plenty of concrete work like this. Some people can do it because they "bulldog" their way through it. Others can do it because it is an art to them and they make it look effortless. I can tell you this; it takes good core and shoulder strength. You can tell by his tools, that he is a total professional; the really good ones are mindful all the way around...the job, the work, and their tools. Well done!!!

Wow, you can tell the guy doing the troweling really takes pride in his job when you hear him talk about it. I used to want to do concrete work. I also used to want to do tiling work. I did tiling work recently and now I don't want to do either. I am in my 50s and in pretty good shape, but hat kind of work is extremely hard on the body. I know understand the term "I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees" came from. It's not about freedom, its about being a concrete or tile worker. lol

The bit about the conductivity difference between concrete and wood is a great real-life example for when I teach thermodynamics in my intro physics classes, many of whom are future engineers. Like he said, those wide, metal tracks for attaching the tube to the underside of the subfloor helps disperse the heat. *Teacher-mode: Engage* Heat is transferred basically by atoms or molecules jiggling and bumping into their neighbors. In solids they’re a lot closer together so it’s much easier to transfer heat. It just depends on the density and atomic structure as to how easily they conduct. Wood is pretty low, concrete is medium and metal is super high. The thermal conductivity of air is super low because the atoms are so far apart so less heat is transferred per given time. *Teacher-mode: Disengage*

Hey Matt. I've watched many crews place concrete. Well done on finding a super-skilled one for your project. These guys are first rate. The screed and trowel man is an artist. The only false note in the whole video was after the final float where the guy picked up two handfuls of concrete with bare hands. Over the long haul, this can do real damage.

I've taught computer science classes for about 12 years but I'm also pretty handy with tools, doing three car restorations, a lot of woodworking and welding projects, and I can really appreciate the guys and girls who make a living in the so-called manual trades. Without them there would be no buildings, plumbing, electrical or any of the other things we take for granted. There's more to life than a computer screen.

Coming from somewhere that the average minimum temperature in winter is 7degC, it amazes me tge lengths you guys need to go to in order to keep warm! I really find it fascinating to watch the different methods of construction you employ there. It had never occurred to me that you would put foam insulation under the concrete, and ive never seen subfloor heating installed! The last video where you did tge front roof extension and you were discussing the freezing line (I think thats what you called it) where snow and ice builds up at the edge of the roof, really blew me away. It is something Id never even thought about! Really enjoying this series Mate, keep it going 👍🏼😊
