    Tom,
    What a good way to show the homeowner the proper way to finish concrete. It's a talent that you have and comes from years of experience. Thankyou

    - Your videos demonstrate the skills and care needed in concrete work. Concrete finishing technique kind of similar to skimming plaster. Again the care and pride your team has in what most of us would call a ordinary sidewalk is very professional.

    You're a very good instructor. Covering the subtle details sets you apart from many of the other concrete how to videos.

    Well done! Can I assume your crew receives periodic performance reviews? Like, every day. 😂 Just kidding. You do a great job of keeping everyone doing it the same way and praising their excellent work.

    I love watching true professionals doing their given trade's. You and your company are true professionals. I've put in concrete for a sidewalk and for RV parking pads and I have to say I'm not a concrete guy but I have done some in 17 + years of campground maintenance. I'm not a professional but I am truly amazed at the amount of time and effort it All takes And am never surprised by the amount of criticism My bossed have yet they never have done the actual work. Thanks for taking us along with you and for teaching me how much work you All have to do. I have told my newest boss to check out your channel and too my surprise he has and now I get to set form's up for the fall instead of trying too get 4 pads a day I think we're going to get 14 12x35 pads poured and complete the rest of the pull thru camp sites. So thanks for helping me out.

    Enjoyed your informative video Tom! Means a lot to us self-doers (Retired old people?) to have professional advice shared. Still trying to decide as to how I want the patio project we've been looking at here on our back yard to go. Simplest way possible is desired. #CheapOldManHere #BadBackIssuesToo

    In Florida where we lived for 11 years, I think they use shells in concrete, which also makes car tires not last so long

    Which is better for a sidewalk. Jointing or saw cut. I think the jointing had a better visual result

    How about forming? Creating a base? Does it need to slope so rain doesn't sit on top? DIYers need a lot more info than this if there gonna do it themselves.

    • @Concretewiththehauses

      Yes, we talk about it in many many videos 2% quarter inch per foot cross slope

  • @colehornbrook5243
    @colehornbrook5243 Před rokem +1

    I’m curious as to why you don’t use any steel on outside concrete? I have been doing small sections of sidewalk and have been finishing it with a pass or two with a steel trowel and seems to be ok.

    • @Concretewiththehauses
      @Concretewiththehauses  Před rokem

      I know a lot of guys use steel trowels outside. I preferred to use a float and keep a thicker paste on top of the aggregate.

    Gas lines in our neighborhood have been replace, and some concrete driveways had to be cut and repaired. Mine is asphalt but my neighbors had concrete repaired. It is more white in color than gray. Why does this happen?. It is sooo obvious, that Id be pissed if it were mine. What causes the different shades?

    You put a 6in finish edge at the end of the walk on the joint side. Shouldn't you use a 1.5 inch edger to match the joint if your gonna continue the walk?

  • @DanielMorales-dz4nv

    It is supose to have wire mesh inside the concrete to avoid cracking. Bad job.

    Repent to Jesus Christ!
    Are you a sinner?
    Mark 2:17
    King James Version
    17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
