Ernie what’s big boy mean to you .. bigger jobs working for someone.lay decks ,deck worker ,not all concretors do what he does this is decorative shit .its harder than the big jobs
Watching these guys with the wheelbarrow reminds me of doing a basketball court in a back yard of one of the Detroit Pistons home, up here in Flint, Michigan. I'll never forget that one, we wheeled concrete through the back yard about 50 yards, it was a lot of work. The best part of it was the guy paid us in cash, no receipt, no taxes either. I just started watching your videos today 5 /29/2020, it's quite interesting, brings back a lot of memories, I'm retired now, just loafin'. Thank's for sharing.
You’re an inspiration to me man. I’m in my 2nd year in local 400 cement masons union up in NorCal and I gotta thank you for putting out this content, I fucking love getting down with all the master masons and earning knowledge as I go, I watch your videos on break and even right before we pour at times, keep it up.
I'm an East Coast concrete finisher since I was 14. I find your method a bit different (we use come-a-longs) and very interesting to watch. Keep up the good work brah👍
I use both and the shovel is better for throwing mud or filling curbs . The come along is good for flatwork . But the square shovel is the do it all took .
My whole family does masonry and concrete , there isn’t much impressive stuff going on in this video, just finishers doing their job like they’re suppose to, ..it’s not a lot he just makes it seem like a lot , anybody can do it with constituency and practice , I’ve been doing this for 6 years now and know how to do every type of masonry work and concrete as well , broom finish , smooth finish, topcast, etc... point is anyone can do a good job , ... most of these finishers , like my family, have been doing this for years ! But has never had the idea of making videos,no one has actually made videos like this guy, my respects for him,cause I know he does it the right way , unlike other contractors that have no clue what they’re doing and don’t appreciate their workers work like this guy, ..... keep up the good work! ....And by the way you are ONE of the best, cause there’s ALOT of professional finishers , they’re just not on video . Believe me on that ..
Excellent content,real informative!!!wish you guys were in Florida..took what I learned from you to question a few concrete company's because I need to get driveway and pathway poured...ask if they have good trowel guys and the reply was we use a saw...smh...I'll keep watching to learn myself!
I see the pride in your work bro love watching the videos. It’s not about how many jobs you have or the amount of workers but knowing your limits and workers that know what they are doing. Keep the videos coming awesome work
Once again . Nice work fellas... I'm a union construction laborer for years hear in the mdwst. Lots of guys jump back n forth . It's very common . I Like your segments .Once again - nice work guys ... keep it up.
I just started working in concrete about 3 months now and learning. Thanks to you and others on CZcams I’m learning more. I see this as a piece of artwork hard work but very satisfying when a job well done. Well I just want say thank you for all this information from a newbie in Tennessee.
Anthony my friend r u coming out with any new video’s ? Can hardly wait to see something new bro . Really enjoy ur video’s not to even mention the badass work u n ur finisher’s do !!!!! Really enjoy how u get into everything u do u mention everything bro awesome bobcat work u do bro !!!!!
Don't worry, we will survive without you! You most likely used your CA designed computer to access a CA owned website on a CA designed server....while probably eating some CA produced food and sipping some CA produced beverage.
Anthony not much people do what u do keep customer happy keep job clean .iv been doing this shit for 22 yrs you get big boys they don’t know where to start doing decorative stuff different ball game compared to decks you can’t get a concretor off a deck to do this stuff
I never seen a cement driveway in Switzerland..pavers, pavement or gravel. I’m wondering if it’s because of costs, or extreme weather difference. Any ideas to why?
I actually show your videos to some of my programming and tech team so they understand what it means to be a professional self-taught person at their job. The professionalism is well appreciated from this end.
The results speak for themselves, but this guy admits several times he forgot to do or add a certain thing, which means he has zero quality control process...that's in between reminding everyone for the 4th time how great he is & how the sun shines out his ass.
Cool. You contracted your self best in west. Down play you don't add anything too concrete like others but then you say I should've added too these concrete. Nice work. I'm learning. Thanks.
Love your videos, wish I'd gone to work for you when I still lived in Laguna. I don't speak good Spanish though and it's really hard working on a crew where everyone else usually speaks Spanish.
@@dixynormous5901 That's a very complicated question with a lot of answers, some of which are not politically correct. To me the solution is that they all just need to be documented and fingerprinted, given a tax ID so they stop stealing one from other people. They tend to do good work as long as they have a good supervisor. As long as they are accountable to the law and working for a living I see no reason they can't stay.
@@xxlegolas I agree with what you are saying. Productive, documented, tax-paying citizens given amnesty are better than tax-avoiding, undocumented workers. Anthony did mention in one video that finishers get about $300/day, and that many of his crew had worked union jobs, which suggests he is above board, but I'm sure there's plenty of contractors getting rich off of undocumented aliens working for cheap.
I have worked with a concrete. And also have finished it. But this is so mutch different. I eoud like to learn and try to do it this way. Looks amazing.
We pour a solid 6inch slump every time. And trust me it doesnt "self level" It always goes off on time. It doesnt always have to be stiff. We pour 3 1/2 slump on sloped driveways.
I believe yeah it’s a form of cockiness but in that line of work or most fairly rough manual labor/trade skill work is quite a shark tank. You gotta be confident and know in yourself you can accomplish any job no matter the lengths. I work in hvac in the rough-in side of things and have done 2 story homes by myself in a 13-14hour shift cause I told whomever the builder was that yeah, it’s no problem cause with some contractors/builders or whoever will flake out and not hesitate to find someone else to do that job taking that money and potential client/customer away from you
I recognize the area. I used to live in the apartments on the other side of the RR tracks off Parker and La Veta. Any interesting stories (or videos?) from the Disneyland jobs?
I’ve seen many company cement stamps from the 50’s is that still done where the name of the company that did the cement work stamps their name with the year?
hey Anthony don't know if you monitor these comments but I saw some of your footage on NaLac technique don't know if they robbed it from you or you gave them permission
@@WestCoastCustomConcrete We have to have it in anything exterior so they put it in everything unless we specify not to, usually go with a half of a dose for floors to keep the bleeding down. That would be a dream to not have to use it in pavements, sidewalks, etc...it makes the concrete very sticky and a straight up bitch to work with when it's windy. ✌✌
So for this size job how long do you roughly take from pouring the concrete to finish and calling it a day? I know every job can be different just want to see time estimate 👍
I apologize if you think is a lot of questions I’m from Northern California but live in Oregon I ben wanting to go off on my own to do side jobs , I admire your work 👍 very good tips you share. I’m a union carpenter I know how to set forms and some what finish but I think I know enough to start specialty subscribe to you. Thanks
I hate brooming wet when the broom wipes away the joints and bosshog doesnt care. Ive almost never poured with anyone that leaves joints intact after brooming
Dude these are the best concrete jobs that I've seen on youtube! It would be awesome to learn from a professional like you. However, I work full time for the City of Santa Ana and go to school at night mon, tues, wed. I would be willing to work for you thursday, fridays evenings and full time on weekends just to learn from you!
The finish it good. But you won’t see rebar tied 2 ft on center anywhere here in Texas. I personally tie everything 1 ft on center. And put expansion joint anywhere the old concrete comes in contact with new concrete. And contraction joints on a 4 ft sidewalk are supposed to be spread out at every 4 ft or less @15:29
You can say this guy is full of himself but he takes pride in his work & it shows. Nothing wrong with confidence. Enjoy your videos.

How do you finish your stamp concrete..you must cove it or broom it before stamping otherwise do you find it fkn slippery
Hey bro. No but the liquid release is a bit slippery. lol Thanks for watching!
Quality work, your guys just know exactly what to do and when.
👍
Anthony , do you ever slip 3 inch blocks under the re-barb to lift the entire re-barb up?
I usually lift it when we pour it.
I recognize the area. I used to live in the apartments on the other side of the RR tracks off Parker and La Veta. Any interesting stories (or videos?) from the Disneyland jobs?
lol. Right on. Working at Disneyland wasn't as cool as it sounds. There was so many trades there and it was all union.
With our heat and humidity in Australia. It's common to hose it while it dries to keep it moist otherwise it dries too quick.
Makes sense
Same climate.. just cowboys that hire slave rate mexican labour
how do you determine the rebar # for projects?
I use #3 on flatwork. Generally if it's structural with plans it's #4 and #5.
Just a question from a norwegian concrete plant operator, do you have self levelig concrete in the USA? Works wonders over here 😁
Yes
I’ve seen many company cement stamps from the 50’s is that still done where the name of the company that did the cement work stamps their name with the year?
I've seen a lot of that but it isn't prevalent these days.
Looking good!
Thank you 👍
why not saw cut the asphalt for a clean edge? seems like that would break away over time?
The asphalt company is going to saw cut the concrete on the joint when they redo the parking lot.
Cut in to my beach time
I knew you was a surfer
Thanks bro
Why wasn't the asphalt cut in a straight line with expansion foam joint.? Doesn't look good and will crack
