Wearing proper protection,(PPE) is extremely important and helps the worker go home as safely as they came to work. Tell the employee that your insurance requires it or they can’t work. As a union pipefitter, if we didn’t wear it, we lost our job.
100%
I like the little biology breaks, they are fascinating! I never heard of a water scorpion before this video.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍
I think he has a master's or maybe even a phd in biology, you can see it hanging on the wall when he does his outros. Definitely a knowledgeable guy when it comes to biology
It would be a good idea to drill the old pad and insert rebar to tie the old and new concrete together.
Thinking the same
I absolutely love the entomology tangent! Great work on this project and also thanks for encouraging your employees to don PPE.
Good job! Keep your PPE on at all times!
Agreed.
As an employer, you have no choice but to enforce safety and PPE, the culture of the employer is what the OSHA inspector will determine for a fine amount in case of an accident….camera or not…one accident and the insurance rate for the next 3 years will make you never want another accident again. One ER bandaid cost me 70,000 in insurance rate hike, since i only had a couple of employees at the time, and you can buy a lot of fancy PPE to help the employee to make a “good” decision. three years I paid for a kid that freaked at the sight of his own blood. Just some experience talking here.
The finished product looks great. If you want to protect the drain from taking on concrete/getting concrete on the surface, a good tip is to painters tape a garbage bag on top of the drain grate. I would also recommend putting some pins extruding from the existing concrete, so the rebar holds it together longterm.
I find that if you just score a saw cut along the 2 by 4, it makes a visible straight line. Then I remove the board and follow the line. They also make water attachments for those saws that receive a hose and spray water onto the blade. Love your videos Shawn
The same thing will happen between the old concrete and the new because they only poured 4” originally. Should have drilled into existing concrete and placed rebar to connect the two slabs.
We definitely could have pinned them together.
Thought you had deserted CZcams and us subscribers.. long time no see..😢😊
@@georgemaru4653 I’ve been super busy lately!
Concrete looks great. I’ve never heard of a water scorpion before, interesting 😊
They are pretty interesting for sure. I like them.
Yay. Been waiting for a new video
I know! I've been trying to get some videos uploaded.
Speaking as a viewer who loves to see Ronald on your jobs, blame me all you like.
Speaking as the Emergency Department nurse who has taken care of folks injured on jobs, at home, from fireworks, from... please wear PPE even when you are not videoing!!!
Yes I agree. I make sure we have plenty of hearing, knee, eye protection as well as gloves within easy reach.
Ive seen basins in much worse shape on properties where the owners dont care at all. Its cool that this business is taking care of something like this that in the grand scheme of things really doesnt effect their business at all
missing your video's we need more
I know Matt! I've been working on a really big project!
@@GCFD i really injoy your video's i can't wait to see more it stinks not seeing them
PPE works most of the time, I have had pieces of material removed from my eyes many times with and without glasses/shields, I endorse safety as I age.
Really good job done Shawn, PPE should be used on every job 👍👍
Ronald needs to be wearing steel toe cap boots too, it's for their eye sight they should be trained like we are in Europe.
Looks great!… boy, you’re organized. You had another chopsaw in your trailer! As soon as that happened, I was betting that you had another saw, and you did. You really have your shit together. I like the idea that you make your people wear ear and eye protection. That’s very important. Another great video! Thank you.
It’s pretty cool when you talk about plants and insects
Thank you! At the core of it I'm a biologist.
Great, yes you only have 2 eyes. Stay safe along with the good jobs you do. Insects! Man
, there are a lot of them 😊👍🇨🇦
Great video Shaun
Your workmanship on all your videos is second to none.
Nice they paid to fix it right. Unfortunately a lot of places leave them all broken and busted. Keep up the good work 👍
That turned out nice but I'm like you here and I protection is a must if you using equipment like that for the noise and for the pieces hitting your eyes. Problem is you let it go by something happens and then they go after your insurance company. You know what they're going to say, so here and I protection is a must. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
I like to have PPE easily on hand and convenient
Love seeing Ronald on the job!
Nice job!
Nice work!
Been with you since the start man. Always love to see when a new vid is out.☮
Thank you!!
Congrats Guy's on getting the old and cracked concrete up and out, and getting the pad with the new concrete put in. looking great guy's.
Awesome job guys! Take care and I’ll see you down the road…
Brilliant job - looks as though it was part of the original plan 😊
Looks great! Would like to see video of water draining away on a rainy day.
Wow great job! Love seeing these different types of jobs!
Thank you Steve!
Big or small jobs, as always excellent content.
Came out great 👍
Thank you Chris!
Looks good, especially when you compare it to before
Great video Shawn! I always enjoy the biology segments!!
Thank you! I do too
Looking good, great idea about the PPE Shawn.
Thank you Dylan!
Nice work
Thank you Julie!
omg Shawn that looks so good, youre a mud man now too yay. that is gonna save you lots of money if you can do all your own concrete now.
Awesome video 💥👍🏼
Thank you!
Looks good
Thank you Brent!
Man, it's been a while... I was having withdrawal symptoms 😄 Nice to see a new video uploaded 👍
I know and I agree. I've been super busy lately. I'm hoping to get more videos going soon !
Well done. Definitely a like from me. Cheers Steve Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Oh. Rebar drilled into the existing concrete all around is the best option to prevent any downward movement and it would prevent any further cracking from heavy trucks going over it.
Thanks for the biology lesson.👏👏👏👏
I hope you enjoyed it!
@@GCFD I did.
5:57 don’t take Ronald sky diving!
Small project but well done : )
Looks nice, i know of several around my place at work that could use the same thing that are a pain to drive around at the end of a building. Glasses for Ronald, yeah i noticed that.
👍
Good to see the safety boots out on the job 🤔
Looks good boys. The residue will wash away in time
Thank you !
Like your core content. Getting water away from building
Thank you!
Nice. Is this the same place where you put that riprap channel off the lot and down to the drainage pond? Thanks for the water scorpion bonus, always glad to get the education!
We call it a K12 saw. Put the car boy on top of the truck for better pressure. Smart keeping the dust down. We're required to use PPE. If we don't have it it could be a fine. They make us wear a face shield and the glasses.
The welding guy made a Fred. With pipes metal or PVC. Place for a helmet and gloves glasses and safety vest if needed. It looks like a t. I think Ron being able to see you with both eyes the best is the best. You reduce the risk.
Hey Shawn, you did right by Ronald! BTW I found your book on Amazon - $197.50. You always have great videos!!
Whatever works to get them to use protection. I was a railroad shop foreman and would remind and if that wasn't enough I'd order them. By the time I retired everyone donned the safety equipment without complaint. The job looked pretty nice finished. When it was still drying and dark after you put the lines in it had one of those 3-D optical illusion effects. 👀 Oh yeah, cool information about the bug. I think one of the most difficult jobs must be cataloging all the different insects.
Classifying insects is a gigantic undertaking for sure. Choose a group and have at it! I can identify most insects to family level. That's a broader spectrum but less depth.
Looks like you have a walk behind saw right there and your breaking your back with a hot saw 😂
I think the only like that matters would be Mike Haduck.
Very true! I wonder what he'd say... Maybe get an interview on his tailgate?
Looks great! You and your wild life interest has introduced me in a fun way to more "anu-mules" than my boring biology class in high school ever did. I never knew there was such a thing as a water scorpian. 🥰
Thank you! I always tried to get my classes outside to see cool organisms.
Good job!
Thank you!
It's a great work around but really just saying it's policy, your safety and the companies safety should be enough without tricking them into it.
End result looks great.
👍
Alright...I'll say it first. You have a nice PC, but on the next bad weather day you've gotta do something about that cable management.
😁
Hahah I don't have time to dedicate to cable management! But I feel ya!
@@GCFD
That PC deserves a couple of hours.
Great neat job Shawn, Im OTT but would have gone with a bit stronger sized wire mesh? Regards from UK
This was a budget repair but it could have gone as much as possible. I tried to balance a quality repair that looks good and will last.
Love the shorter video.
Sean, you were talking about people wearing PPE, whilst sitting directly in front of the person cutting......He only had to hit something hard and that saw could have bounced up and would have been very close to a part of your body........I had a friend a few months ago had the saw bounce up and it sliced his front lip open just under his nose, like the alien in Predator.
It looks great. I hope that you broomed surface for slip resistant.
Just a light broom. The surrounding concrete was all slick so we went with that.
@@GCFD That is what I was talking about.
You should maybe paint "Gate City Foundation Drainage" over "Ace" on your wheelbarrows.
Came to watch a concrete pour and a entomologist show up a good video.
Haha
PPE is very important, just sometimes PPE makes things more dangerous, those plastic glasses make things worse vision and I've seen someone not able to see something dangerous in front of them, I had to blow stop horn.
Yes that's very true! I try to keep new, safe PPE around within easy reach for that very purpose. 👍
In regards to the jumping jack, I think you have said it before.. if you take care of your equipment, your equipment takes care of you.
I completely agree!
Amazing work as always 👍👍
Thank you!
omg FINALLY
I know Amber. I have been super busy!
Have you considered buying electric wheel barrow? Chore warrior wheel barrow It’s a game changer
PPE always sounds like a pain, til you're in the eye surgical area of the hospital.
I hope that didn’t happen to you
I'm not sure how much the large bundles of lumber weigh, but the forklifts by themselves weigh close to 20,000 lbs. With no shock absorbers, they can bounce or bang hard driving across that area.
My minimum order is 4 yards. That's up from 3 yards last year. They are charging $138 a yard, no fiber.
It helps knowing the plant owner! For sure.
Fun little detail just after 5:28 - apparently the concrete saw also controls the wind. Watch the back of Shawn's shirt. 😂
The best way to get people to wear PPE is to make it easy and comfortable. Make sure they never have to take more than a few steps to get to the PPE, and make sure to get PPE that's actually comfortable to wear and use. Most people don't mind PPE, they mind the hassle of getting it and the discomfort of wearing it.
Well said Tim! I've tried to do just that.
That drain basin probably settled.
I was wondering about that too.
Telling them it’s for the video is definitely one way, but telling them it’s so your work comp insurance doesn’t go sky high and you have to let go of employees is another way lol
👍
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
👍
Yes rebar micro fiber in the concrete. Should of used cureseal
Hi Sean , thank you for the vids. Do you use the fiber in concrete frequently? My company supports its use as an innovation.
Yes I use fiber in all my concrete jobs. No reason not to use it, right?
🙏👍
Good to see you on your knees. 😅
Hahah
LOL, You're paying him. You tell him to wear PPE, not ask. Now he thinks he doesn't have to wear it if you're not filming.
Was just wondering about a video from ya'll. And boom, here it is. Nice job my friends. Just left my chiro, and was eyeing up that big concrete cut. Take care of yourselves. I'm falling apart after years of beating myself up.
Thank you!
Comment for the Algo.
You need a head cam holder
PPE is paramount and should be a rule at all times. Might be a good idea to stock up on some and have available.
Yes, I think having PPE around is the best way to use it. All my equipment has a pair of heating protection hanging on it.
I would have perhaps made it circular to avoid cracks. But that is a judgement call. There is not much you can do for such a simple project. Perhaps dig it out a couple inches deeper and add compacted 3/4 minus stone.
👍
Reo!!!
👍
Maybe u could have covered the drain with something when u poured the concrete, quite a bit of concrete fell down the drain.
What do you do to get your workers to put on their PPE? I find that "Do it or your fired" works remarkably well! 🤣
I prefer not to threaten
@@GCFDGetting fired for not being safe shouldn't be a threat, just a fact.
Did you not need to use the concrete vibrator because of the wire?
It flowed into the space pretty well but we could have vibrated it too.
Control lines are crooked, but it'll do.
Weird how things always like to break during smaller jobs haha
I'm so glad I had that extra saw on hand. This job was too small to be making trips.
Is this your first time doing concrete finishing? I want to learn to do that.
plastic drop cloth over grate for concrete?
I have a few questions about drones. Do they come with cameras? If they do, how do you view what the drone is looking at? Any suggestions?
Definitely should have power washed the concrete regardless
Question re the camera work - when your saw broke and the camera followed you and zoomed in and out - is that an automatic thing or was there someone working the camera?
Which jumping jack do you have?
