I appreciate it brother. There is truth to your comment. Majority of the negative comments have seemed to come from people that have never actually done anything, just researched misinformation to argue. haha

​@@reallifetested2605my moustacheless bro what is the thickness of that slab your standing on?

@@user-fi7kq5xv9c I was aiming for around 4” but by the time I ended up setting the forms and everything it really ended up being between 5-6”.

Awesome shop just what I’m working on finding a good company here in Washington State to put the building up or buy a kit.

That’s awesome to hear your were able to build your own house. It’s also really cool that your son was able to help you with it. I bet he learned a lot of valuable things. I don’t blame you one bit for subbing out the Sheetrock and insulation. Those are the 2 less fun things about building a house. I appreciate you sharing and for checking out my video.

so how did you figure out the plumbing for your slab?

You posted a similar comment in the last video

Thank you! I couldn’t imagine how much this would cost today. I thought things were expensive a couple of years ago, but somehow they’ve gotten worse! Thanks for the kind words and thank you for checking out my video.

That’s a good idea especially for your back. I haven’t had any health issues yet but my dad tells me all the time about how fun getting old is.

That’s an awesome story brother. Especially at 63 years young. You sound like my (much older) grandfather. He’s almost 90 and has the same mindset as you. He says as long as you stay busy and work hard you’ll never get old. He’s in better shape than most 30 year olds these days as I bet you are. Thank you for the story I appreciate it.

That really means a lot that I was able to inspire you like that. It's awesome you have some experienced buddies that could guide you. I bet your project turned out great.

What do you mean when you say “don’t pin” I’m assuming you mean put rebar between the slabs so that they tie them selves together but I could be wrong and I just wanted to clarify with you. I think I understand the 2 x 4 with a taper. But I’d like more explanation on this process. I plan on doing a similar slab but I also plan on using rebar and was going to have rebar joining all the individual orders together. I do plan on having some heavy equipment on the slab. Any clarification would be fantastic and thanks for your help.

“Slab pours” not “orders” together. 😢

Bs…you can and should green saw control joints in concrete. You don’t know your ass from a hole in the ground.

@@MCHornerYou do want rebar, especially if you are driving equipment on it. Its also important to have a good base. The keyway he is talking about is basically making an indentation in the side of one slab to give a place for the adjoining slab to lock into. In my opinion, they dont work. Weve tried them for years as an industry, and ive ground down countless linear feet of keyed construction joints that fail to keep the slabs locked together, there is simply not enough rigidity in that type of joint to prevent shifting. Everyone has an opinion, so talk to who you have available and see what works for you. Put a modest grid of rebar over compacted base and you are golden. You can also use structural fibers in the mix. Depending on the size of your squares you will also want control joints cut in on no greater than about a 15’x15’ spacing. If your individual slabs are that small or smaller it will be fine, if you do larger areas at a time go ahead and tool joints in as you finish with a groover, or cut them in with a saw about 2-12 hours after your finish troweling passes depending on the weather (hotter=sooner). Its easy to get really caught up on details but if you talk to people who know what they are doing and follow sound design practices youll be golden. Wish you all the best!

I’m glad you got something out of it. That’s what it’s all about. I really appreciate you checking out my videos and for taking the time to comment! I’m no professional but if you have any questions I’ll try and help to the best of my knowledge. Good luck with your project!

Find a local church and ask around for some volunteers. Many times there will be a few that are willing to help. For that size slab...truck loads are probably the best option

When did you take the forms off? Same day?

You've got that right. I definitely learned a lot doing this, it's awesome that others are getting something from it as well. That's what it's all about! Good luck with your project, and thank you for taking the time to leave a kind comment.

Also, depending on how you evaluate your time, the difference between paying $4000 to do it yourself vs paying $14000 to have it done for you can be very close to the whole $10000 savings. Unless it takes (much) more than a month and/or you make $120000 per year, you're saving. When I was teaching, I'd need to have spent 4 months off work before "losing" money on this project. I'm slow, but not that slow.

Listen bro i think the idea that sometimes you have more extra time in life than in other times plays more of a factor than we think. Sometimes ill change my oul but other times might be short and its easier to pay some guys to do it.

@@pmonk1487 What I don't get is why paying other people's labour is so shockingly expensive these days. You would think the truck full of concrete could drive out and dump it for a tiny fraction of the cost of handling all those bags, but in the end, they charge 3x what it would cost doing it by hand, and the box store and concrete manufacturer is *still* making a profit selling the bags.

That’s awesome you’re able to retire at the young age of 60. Especially this time and day. It’s also really cool you’re going to retire on a farm to keep you busy doing what you want to do. Hopefully you can find a good contractor. The ones we’ve contacted around here seem to think they’re more than they’re worth. (To me and many others anyhow)

@@reallifetested2605 everything is too expensive today.

I appreciate it! That's good that you're able to get help from your local lowes, it's hit or miss in my area. Sometimes they come and help in a reasonable time, others you have to wait literally an hour. That was a big deal for me as well being able to do everything myself. I was having to do a little at a time because of my work schedule, and no one was available to help the crazy hours that I was working. I've had a lot of positivity on these videos, but you're right there are quite a few critical (rude) comments as well. That was also a big one for me was the quality. It may not be the best, but I guarantee it was done with more care then if I had hired it out. Thank you for checking out my video, and for commenting.

You're right on the money when it comes to people not caring about their work. Spent 17k on a 30'x40'x8" pad and it ended up being 4" thick with no rebar or vapor barrier. Went through so much hassle going through channels to get this mf-er to do anything and all that happened is I got $1500 back. Next time I'm doing all the work myself and maybe getting some family members to give me a hand

On your 8'x8' tied w rebar.. how did you do that w forms up? Drill in hard concrete after form taken down for first 8x8

There is a ton of hate I can tell you that. Best I can do is show my experience with the project and move on. Thanks for the kind words.

I've seen those dry pour videos and I'm not entirely sure I trust that method. There has got to be a reason why companies tell you to mix with water, especially if its more laborious and harder than just dumping the powder out. I messed up and mixed WAY to much when I had my wife come out. It was so heavy I was almost tearing my shoulder out of place so I definitely needed her. haha As long as you don't dump out to much you should be good alone. That was another reason I went bagged is because truck would've been hard to do alone as well as the driver would hate me. haha

You’ve got that right. Around here labor rates have tripled along with the higher price of concrete. I don’t understand how anyone can afford anything anymore.

You've got that right, it's funny you say that because in the first video I said that pretty much word for word that I definitely didn't make 10k a week. haha What was good about this is I actually did this during the work week. I was working nights at the time. I can tell you that I definitely wanted to go to sleep at work that week.

I really didn't understand the ones telling me I didn't save money. Some of them even argued with me about it after explaining that. Thank you! I know it's not perfect but it works and it isn't cracking or anything crazy so i'm happy with that. Yes, Sallie has asked me about the enclosed walkpath multiple times. It's actually funny that you bring that up. We thought about it and thought about it. We really want to go out of the back of the building, but thats where the main power, exhaust ducts, and a/c sit. We could also go out of the sides but having a door would take a lot of our storage space up. We don't want to lose space as its already limited so just agreed on a sidewalk for now. Maybe if the new building opens up enough space that could be something that we do in the future.

@@reallifetested2605 Consider a covered walkway from one building to the other in the event of rain. A lot of homes in Texas have detached garages and the walkway is covered from the home to the garage. I can’t wait to see what you two do. It’s inspiring to see young, hardworking couples achieve their dreams together. 🥰🥰 Best of luck to you and your family.

Thank you! I appreciate your good advice.

That's awesome that you were able to do all of that work and save the amount of money you did. Not to mention the amount of knowledge that you now have from doing these projects. I'm a believer in buying tools as well, these things aren't getting any cheaper and it seems like you need them all the time, even the specialty tools. My grandpa says the same thing, hard work keeps you alive. He's over 90 and still gets out and splits firewood for heating his home. We bring some from time to time and he gets sort of frustrated and says no I NEED to do this. haha I appreciate the kind comment and what you say is almost sickening to think about but true. It seems like the past couple of generations don't want to work, and don't want to learn how to work. My 2 young girls have asked us when out in public "I can't believe that guy doesn't know how to do that!" because they do and aren't even in middle school. haha I think you hit the head on the nail when you speak of jealousy. A majority of the negative comments seem to be of people criticizing my work with no idea of what they're actually talking about. Thank you for taking the time to check out my video, and for leaving a kind comment. I really appreciate it.

Lyle,, not to be condescending but when you build a structure you want to build in 2ft incrimants. Why ,,, less waste. So if you had so much material left over,, someone missed their material quote!!

I really appreciate it. I did a lot of research and rebar is definitely a must in cold climates. I made another video a while back of me running a power line and got a comment of how you guys have to run them 6' deep if I remember right. I couldn't imagine! I've only had smaller crammed spaces in the past so i'm definitely loving this shop.

Dang that 2 inch rebar has to be expensive!! Just kidding assuming you meant 1/2" ?

Thanks for the tip and the kind comment!

Thank you! So far it’s been in the same condition since the day I finished it. I have another yearly update coming soon.

Thanks! Just check pricing before you do. I don’t know what it is now but at the time in my area #80 bags were 3.20 each and truck was 200 to 220 with a 4-6 week wait.

​@@reallifetested2605 how many yards did you get for $200 in a truck. Can't be a full truck or are Cali prices that insane? It's like $900 a truck here if I recall

@@getstuk87they were wanting that per yard! I couldn’t believe it when I called. I guess it matches the prices of everything else being crazy. Our groceries are 300 a week now when they were around 175 just 3 or 4 years ago.

@@reallifetested2605 Lunch was $5, now $10

I honestly thought a lot of the negative comments were jokes because they were so ridiculous! Sadly they weren't. You've got that right. We were going to hire out until we started getting quotes of 14k plus. I was like nope. I could literally tear this thing up and redo it 2-3 times for that amount.

I appreciate the positive comment. The money savings is great and having the tools and learned skill is even greater! haha thank you for checking out my video and for taking the time to leave a comment.

Thank you! Pricing is all over the place right now for some strange reason. The price of bags around here fluctuate about 2 dollars from month to month. It’s sad to say that but you’re right. I see driveways and slabs poured here all the time that are busted and cracking all to heck within weeks. They can’t even repave the roads around here without digging it back up 2 or 3 times and doing it over still ending up with a road worse off than they originally started with.

Thank you! I have another yearly update coming soon. But honestly everything is the same. Most of the internet has been good to me. Although some of the haters frustrate me with ignorance if you get what I mean.

Haters gonna hate. It's because they are unable to do what you did. Either because they are lazy, unwilling, or too plain dumb. And that's why they hate when someone makes a decision, does the work, and completes a large task. All while they sit in their mommies' basement hating on others. Take them for what they are and move on. Miserable people need to be left in their own misery. And not responding or answering any of their hate-filled responses will deprive the narcissist of what they want: Attention for doing something worthy because they think it's all about them. They are not worthy! Merry Christmas and happy next project!@@reallifetested2605

I appreciate the kindness! We definitely need more of that in this world.

Thank you! We might have the same trailer. I have a big Tex 7 ton dump and super duty to tow it with. That machine might be expensive but at least you only have to buy it once and can use it an unlimited amount of times. Then you can sell it and get most of your money back! Labor cost in my area are insane so we have to do everything ourselves. Good luck with your projects!

I didn’t realize that so many thought no matter what it needs rebar! I know in my area you don’t ever see it. That’s awesome to hear that your slab is holding up to the test of time. I’m coming up on my 2 year update and everything still looks great. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.

It sounds like you’ve got some good experience and knowledge. I think that all the time when I hear people say “I don’t know how to do that” we literally have Google that will tell you anything you need to know. Back in the day it was a lot harder to find information but you’re right if there’s a will there’s a way. That’s awesome you got some inspiration. Good luck pouring your slab I bet it will turn out great.

You’re very welcome. Thank you for checking out my video, and for the kind words!

I actually have plans soon of adding a gravel driveway around the exterior of the building. That will definitely give the foundation some support. You're right about that. I saw an entire section of a development to where all of the houses were at the bottom of a hill, the driveway was going down toward the house. It was graded literally like a water slide would be going into a pool. When it rained the water flowed directly into the garage. The quick fix? A small drain cut out near the garage door that couldn't handle more than a small rain flowing to the left that went into the right side of the neighbors house. I feel sorry for the people that purchase those houses not knowing any better.

That’s awesome that you’ve got inspiration from my video. Thank you for the kind comment I really appreciate it. My grandpa tells me you’re not old until you’ve told yourself that you’re old and accepted it. He’s hasn’t accepted it but he’s in his 90s and still gets out everyday and works like me haha good luck with your project. I know you’ll do great!

Thank you! I’ve always wondered about dry pour concrete. I’ve seen tons of videos about it and from the results and what people are saying it works great! Let me know how it goes. Good luck with your project.

Thank you, I really appreciate it. I wish I could understand why a few have gotten all bent out of shape about a concrete video. It makes no sense haha

You're very welcome. I'm going to continue yearly updates to show everyone the progress of the slab so stay tuned. So far so good!

I'm glad you got some inspiration, that's what its all about! Good luck with your project.

I can't remember if I said it in the video or not but I called around and spoke with pros in my area. They said that they don't really use rebar in residential on grade 4" slabs. Mainly homes, commercial, industrial. We have pretty good weather here and our soil is good. It's really up to your area from what I gather. I tried to have everything figured out before I started and so far have been lucky. You're right a lot of the people criticizing probably have never done anything like this in their life. Good luck on your project when you get around to it.

@@reallifetested2605 Thank you!

That's awesome brother, glad you got it done safely and saved lots of money!

That’s awesome, good luck with your project! You’re going to save a ton and get a free gym membership as an added bonus. 😃

You know what’s sad is I knew that and made a mental note not to call it that and somehow managed to do it anyhow. It was a bad habit that I learned over time and in the past 2 years learned the differences. I appreciate you catching that and giving a detailed explanation!

@@reallifetested2605 Hey, That OK. People who have been doing concrete work for years don't really know.

Thank you! I really appreciate it. Stay tuned, i'm going to do yearly updates to show everyone how it's going.

Thank you! You’re very welcome. I appreciate you checking it out and taking the time to leave a comment. There are a lot of those “experts” and you’re right. You can tell by most of the comments they have no idea what’s going on haha

I appreciate it brother. I have a few projects coming up, just have to find the time to do them. Thank you for subscribing it means a lot!

Thank you for the kind comment, and for checking out my video!

It’s hard work for sure, but we’ll worth it. Thank you!

The money savings, and experience I gained doing this was definitely worth it. That's awesome that you diy too. Thank you for the kind comment.

Thank you! Hopefully this time around the local companies have adjusted their prices to where it makes sense for me to use truck. If they don't you're going to see me doing all of this again. haha I still haven't decided on the openers yet. I've literally been back and forth. So much so that I have had everything pulled up multiple times on my computer, just haven't pulled the trigger. Thank you for checking out my video!

I have put that thing through the ringer and it just keeps going! I highly recommend the hf mixer.

Thanks! I actually was looking into installing a lift not to long ago. Check into doing reinforced footers. It doesn't seem like it would be to difficult even with what I have. I appreciate you checking out my video, and commenting. Good luck with your project!

I really appreciate it. I feel the same way about the know it alls, and haters. It drives me crazy sometimes haha

I appreciate you checking out my videos and commenting. It did feel good to save that money I can tell you that. Especially when groceries are so high right now.

Thank you, I appreciate the kind comment.

That’s insane. Idk why everything is going up the way it is. If it keeps up at the rate it’s going we’re all going to be soon struggling to keep above water.

Thanks brother! I was going to use truck but this was during Covid when prices started going crazy and people stopped working lol they were wanting 200 to 220 per yard with a 4-6 week wait and #80 bags were 3.20 each so I went that route. I couldn’t afford to wait the 4-6 week period because the building would be here then.

Definitely. Thank you!

I appreciate it brother! I called around and spoke with quite a few companies and they said they typically don’t around here and if they do they let you know and charge accordingly. I’ll have to look into that next time around and if it doesn’t cost too much it’d be worth a little more insurance.

That’s the way I felt too. So far the pad still looks like the day I poured it. The thick layer of compacted gravel really did the trick.

@@reallifetested2605 👍

Thank you! I’m in the middle. I think when it comes to editing a KZfaq video picking the right music is the hardest thing of all lol!

That’s awesome brother. Plan, prepare, execute! You’ll do a great job. Good luck with your project.

Oh yeah freezing temps and snow makes concrete another ball game. Where I am it rarely gets freezing and we hardly even get any snow. Just rain and thunderstorms occasionally.

As slow as I was working I think I would’ve had a driver cussing at me haha thanks for checking out my video.

I appreciate you taking the time to explain that rebar isn't always needed. You'd be surprised at the people that would tell you that would fail after a few years without rebar. You're an excellent example after 22 years with only a minor crack, and heave.

That’s awesome to hear. There’s no telling how much you saved with that diy. I’ve been really happy with the bagged concrete floor.

That’s awesome. No telling how much you’re going to save especially these days. Good luck on your project.

Thanks brother! I'm glad you got something out of the video. I don't think i'll get any hardcore cracks either but you never know. All concrete cracks eventually that's just part of it. I'm going to be doing yearly updates so stay tuned. I have another one coming in about 4-5 months. Right now everything still looks the same though. Good luck on your project!

Thank you for checking out my video and for taking the time to leave a comment!

@@reallifetested2605 absolutely

Thanks for the good info and kind words brother. So far everything still looks the same. I was going to do yearly updates but am going to do every 2 years because nothing is changing haha I’m not sure what prices are around here for concrete now but I can bet they haven’t went down any. Cost of everything in my area is absurd now. Sometimes I wish the finish was a little better because I know it isn’t perfect. But for its use and what I’ve got in it, it serves its purpose. Thanks for checking out my video.

@@reallifetested2605 Absolutely. I can attest that Az prices are not going down. During and right after covid it was hard to get mud from some plants at all if you werent a large commercial contractor. Prices spiked and have not gone back down, and are rising faster than normal. Fun times. For what its worth I probably do more hand mix jobs than most guys, I do subcontract work for some different plumbing companies doing their cutting and pourbacks, its not out of the ordinary for me to hand mix a couple of pallets. Anything over that I normally pump.

Hopefully i'm going to get back into posting regularly. I've really been enjoying getting to work with Mrs. Shaw. Thank you for being there in the live, I appreciate it!

I appreciate it! You've got that right, there are definitely enough haters in this world.

That’s awesome brother. I see that from my grandpa. The harder you work seems to be the longer you live. He’s pushing 90 and still goes to work everyday, and still has good health. I can’t understand the time is money thing either. It used to drive me crazy. The mixer is awesome. Mine is still kicking! Thank you for checking out my video and for taking the time to leave a comment.

I wish I was a genius, I wouldn’t have to work so hard 🤣 thank you for the view and comment! I appreciate it.

It’s insane how many people like concrete videos haha. Pinning would’ve been good insurance for sure. I have a tractor and wanted one of the large mixers like you have on your skid steer, that would be awesome and definitely save some time. I appreciate your kindness. I might do epoxy one day. I’ve definitely thought about it in our garages.

Hey neighbor! I’m here in Emerald Isle NC. ✌️

Can you sure...but sometimes the work is worth saving. Truck is probably a better option. Easier to get it all down then finish nicely

You’ve got that right. Since Covid and all of the inflation I believe bags are higher now in my area closer to 5 per bag. Mixing yourself using 3,2,1 is most expensive now in my area because of Portland and crazy sand cost.

Im not sure what the prices are right now as I had planned to build another shop about a year ago now but prices have went up so much it doesn’t make sense. I will say with bags you can get bulk discount, as well as 5 percent off at Lowe’s. If Home Depot or Lowe’s has a lower price (one always does) speak with the manager at the opposite store and they will usually cut you a pretty big deal especially if you’re buying in bulk.

You've got that right. Hopefully I won't ever need it but if I do! haha

You’ve got that right. I did this when prices were going up on everything and glad I did. It saved me a few weeks extra of groceries haha

Your comment in the previous video I said in the first 40 seconds of the other one that doing it myself saved me the money. lol bagged vs truck saved me about 1200 dollars or so. The 10k saved was what contractors in my area were wanting to charge me 14k and up for. It’s gotten crazy in my area. We got a quote from multiple contractors a few weeks ago for a 24x24 and the Lowest quote we got was 87000 with no electrical or drywall and me doing the grading. I’m sitting here thinking I can do this for 15-18k or so. If it falls down I can rebuild it 3 more times and should’ve learned something by that point haha

@@reallifetested2605 Well maybe you should consider a career change. And im not joking when i say that. You obviously have some talent in that area. My father started in the masonry business after WW2. He was a bricklayer by trade, and had experience in other masonry related areas as well including concrete work. But collecting money for our work especially from some of the builders we were working for became a real issue. So we gradually became home builders, and phased ourselves out of the masonry business. And we did that by building a house on speculation, hoping that it would sell before the loan payments broke us. And we soon had people wanting us to build a house for them on their lot. In 1973 we built 97 houses for lot owning customers. We poured all of the concrete and did all of the carpentry work on all of them. We had two full time supervisors, one being myself, and the other my partner, who was also my brother. We each controlled a certain area of the work, my area was stake out to the drywall phase. His area covered drywall thru completion. Most of the houses were never visited again by me after drywall, unless i was filling in for my brother due to things like vacations etc. You cant lay block for the foundation until the footing is poured. And our footings were poured the day after the excavation was done, weather permitting of coarse. And our framing work began very shortly after the foundation work was complete. We had 2 masonry contractors who worked exclusively for us. Ditto with our excavating/grading contractor, as well as others like the electrician and plumber. There comes a point in time when decisions need to be made as to how you go about running a business. In other words, you can choose to make sawdust, or you can choose to make money. So its not always just about money saved in a certain area by doing the work yourself. But it is always about money.

Makes sense. This building isn't insulated and it gets hot in the daytime and cold at night. I might turn them all on their sides and crack the cap a bit. Thanks for the advice!

Thank you! It depends on how thick you want to pour it. If you Google “sakrete slab pour calculator” (you can copy and paste that in google. In the first link there is a calculator that you type in your length, width, and thickness you want to pour. It will tell you how many 80 or 60 lb bags you will need. I always get 5 to 10 percent extra just in case everything isn’t exactly perfect because you can always take back what you don’t use. Hope that helps!

You’re very welcome, thank you for the motivation. You’re completely right I do need to ignore the haters.

Thank you!

I definitely did, will also be doing a patio soon so stay tuned! Thanks for the kind comment.

I appreciate it! Yeah it gets a lot colder where you are than it does around here. It's mainly going to be used for storage so far so good!

Thank you! I usually don’t talk that much but there was a lot to talk about, I appreciate you making it to the end.

@@reallifetested2605 you are so right, there is so much to know about how to do it and yet it is still easy... hard work, but easy) There are two things that might help you if you want, and this is about dry stacking.. 1. You can lay dry concrete in place and mix with a hand held roto tiller for a bigger monolithic slab. Just keep adding bags and water and keep mixing in place, but if you get any bigger than your pours you will need 2 people to screed the top. 2. Dry stack all your bags in the form, screed dry in the form, work all the powder to the surface, mist with a water nozzle, and as the surface is setting, use a dry paint roller for surface finish (very light touch) once the surface hardens a bit you can increase the amount of water added. This way will reduce the PSI a little but if you're worried about that you can add rebar/mesh half way through the lay to increase the slab strength. Again, keep it up, and good luck on future pours.

We’re in the same boat. Heck I’m about to have to build a shop if we want one at this point. Got quoted 100k for a 24x24 for just the shell. That price is with me doing grading, electrical, drywall and all of that good stuff. Prices have gotten beyond insane.

I appreciate it! Yeah so far looks don’t matter too much for me. It’s just a shop floor haha. I need to do another yearly update just haven’t found the time. Spoiler alert it’s the same condition as this video lol

That's definitely something I wish I had done for insurance. Luckily no issues but you never know. What would you like to know about my truck and trailer? I was thinking of making a video soon but any ideas would be great. Thanks for checking out my video!

@@reallifetested2605 Good question, hadn't thought about it. Been watching lots of trailer videos. I guess one of the things not covered much is how people towing things balance their load and make sure they have just the right amount of tongue weight. Seems most people just connect and go without even checking this. Also how well does a certain load pull up a grade and what kind of speeds can be maintained, is often left out of a lot of those vids.

@@HellTriX I just did a screenshot of your comment and will make a video here soon. I had a scary experience of not having enough tongue weight and think that would be good information to share on how to prevent that. Thanks for the idea, I appreciate it!

Thank you for the good info. The only reason I didn’t give details is because I feel like I’m not qualified enough to do so. More less just showing that it can be done if you do your research and figure everything out ahead of time. That being said. I think a lot of “pros” don’t really know what’s going on either and just winging it for a lot of money haha

Thanks brother, I appreciate it.

You've got that right, the tools alone have paid for themselves hundreds of times over at this point. It was definitely worth it, and a bit of work. But I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Thanks brother! So far so good no cracks. I think foundation is one of the most important things.

Im going to continue the yearly updates to show everyone that it will be ok haha I’m not sure why I had a hat on. I go through phases of wearing it and not wearing. I more than likely needed a haircut that day.

That’s good to know. I was afraid because we were having crazy high winds that day. I appreciate your kindness, and I’m glad you got some inspiration from my video!

That’s what I want to tell them haha thank you!

Haha I heard that. Thank you!

I wish truck prices were that low around here. I have a lot of projects I want to do but hoping the prices will come down. They’ve came down since Covid but not enough for me haha

@@reallifetested2605 what are your truck prices then?

You’re very welcome! Thanks for checking it out.
