    You are certainly blessed to have such a great crew of men working for you. And you also have a son to take over the business when you can no longer do it yourself. Thank you for providing these great videos.

    Tom,I always enjoy watching your videos ! A chain is no stronger than it's weakest link, and your crew chain doesn't appear to have any weak links ! I discovered abut 50 years ago the only easy part of concrete work was ordering it over the phone !! LOL GREAT JOB, as always !!

  • @keithpete6237

    Thankfully the builder came by before you started pouring, and thankfully you started on the side you did!! I personally wouldn’t want my driveway cut off like that!

    I live by two rules in life, never tell a man his business and how to spend his money. But since you're asking i like the finished edged look. I think it looks cleaner if that makes sense to you. Give a big shout out to the crew they're work is second to none!!!!

    For practicality, I agree with you. Aesthetically, I agree with the builder! I think a smaller entrance looks better than 3 wide. Just my humble opinion. Great work as always!

    Customer is always right but the builder cheaped out on that one. Concrete in my area is about $300 a yard. He saw a way to save $1200 and jumped on it. Mistake on his part. The homeowner will want a full width pad to make easier garage access and so the kids have room to play basketball and ride their bikes.

    What Do You Think We Should Do?
    1. Use geotextile.
    2. Ram gravel.
    3. Do not throw rebar on the gravel. Install it on racks. So rebar will start to work in the concrete.
    4. Lay waterproofing under the rebar. So concrete milk will not soak into the gravel and concrete hardness will not decrease.
    5. Process poured concrete not only by hands, but also with "helicopter". You will make top level of concrete much more wearproof.
    6. Cover poured concrete by polyethylene to avoid extra drying.
    In this case you will do really high quality work.
    Sorry about this criticism and have a nice day.

    Straight to the road and flare out would make for easier access. More room for chalk drawings too 😉. The day I let my kids walk on my new driveway it was covered with beautiful chalk artwork. On the back patio I would vote for picture framing. More work but so much prettier. Lot of concrete you laid down in 8 hours. Be proud of your crew.

    You've got me hooked on edging and borders. In my mind, TSH always beautifies their work w edging and borders. I guess plain Jane may fit ok behind the house. I really did like the music today, I've heard that song at one of my granddaughter's dance competitions. I can still hear it in my head as I type. I would bet when that house gets an owner, they'll want the rest of the drive poured. Poor Steve having to work 6 days, lol, he'll be working, doing something on Sunday too. He and Tommy work every day, when not w TSH on their own houses. During my 35 years at Corning Cable Systems, I worked 7 days a lot and didn't like being there but 7th day pay was double time, so I loved it on payday. I worked overtime every day, every week and had my contribution to my 401k upped to 5% my last 10 years. That gave me enough to retire at 62 and I did! I'm still hearing I'm invisible. Nice! Another great video Tom and crew, thanks!👍👌❤🇺🇸🇺🇸

    I know I've asked this before, but why not pour the whole drive at one time? Everyone in our area pours it all at once down to right of way. Even if there isn't sidewalks on the street we have to separate with expansion a 5 foot walk between drive and approach, with it being 6 inches thick and 12 inches thick at the street.

    A couple of years ago when we lived in Florida, there was an issue in a new neighborhood that would flood with heavy rains. The street department finally found the problem, when the construction was going on, the concrete outfits were having the driver's dump the excess concrete down the sewer drain and overtime plugged up the line. I know when we had concrete apron added to the front of our building and i told the driver to dump the extra along the fence line but he didn't listen to me and let it go where I would mow. So then i had to clean up his mess.

    Edge marks are so you can get away from it sooner. You can broom it sooner/wetter, get away from it sooner( the purpose of edge marks isn’t really to make it look better but to get away from it sooner/quicker…… I said some of that twice because not sure you’ll know what I’m saying, but you probably will understand.

  • @ForensicCats

    You need more expansion from curb to house and rebar "bars" placement is critical in this 3.5" slab... I suggest you no longer use the bars...
    You can email me if you want a private answer...
    Buy a roller tamper, your jobs are large enough and make deeper aprons ... lastly, increase depth at entrances to Garages...

Did you point out to the builder that the two houses are different, one has a garage and one does not? Sure, come back to do the wedge. Just charge 1.5 or so times the cost to do the pad straight to start with. Have good days!

      When we are on solid we typically don’t compact the gravel it was only about 2 inches thick if that
