I think it's awesome that you let your guys know that you appreciate them, it definitely makes it easier to work with someone when they appreciate your effort.
You have one of the greatest teams, everyone works like clockwork together. There are other you tube guys on here , but you’re the best, real deal team.
I just got off work I have to catch up on all of my Rick Thomas videos I've been working a lot of hours I got to get you in my brother thank you have a great one Happy New Year
New subscription here!! Catching up and watching a bunch of your videos tonight. Great content, love the videos so far. Definitely looks like you all work really good together. 👍
I know everyone is saying it but your guys keep moving while your doing skid steer or wtvr. You’re not telling them every move to make. It’s awsome. Great crew Rick!! Happy New Year brother. 2024 your channel is going to explode. I see all the Victory subs coming over already. 💪💪💪
I just think of the comparison between your crew and Mr. Tomich’s crew. All your guys can keep themselves busy and you constantly have forward progress because of it. Keep it up!
Looks fantastic, I agree you do have an awesome and bad ass crew. Thanks for the videos, looking forward to another year of them. Each cone you put out lowers the general public's IQ by 10 pts.
Happy New Year to the whole RT crew, another great video as always by the best concrete channel on CZcams. Keep taking advantage of this great weather and knocking out those jobs. See you next year where the channel and subs will keep growing nonstop. Thanks 👍🎆🙏🏼
I like how you recognize your crew and you do not take them for granted. Good for you Rick! I do not think Ryan is feeling what you're feeling at the moment.
I’m new to your channel but I’ve caught up on all the videos and y’all have a solid team and do great work. Really enjoy em bud happy new year and keep rocking man
My pops does the same thing buddy. Use the forks or the bucket to tear out the driveway. Sometimes it’s nice to have a breaker for certain situations but breaking out an entire driveway is time consuming when all you have to do is lift sections and let the weight drop. Way faster
Those expenses that you as a business owner have to incur to keep your business profitable is a lot and many people don't realize that part of being a successful business owner.
First concrete company I have seen that calls in locates. Thanks from a utility worker, I repair dozens of lines a year thanks to the local concrete companies that assume 5+ inches is fine to dig in. 😃
good work! it's so interesting how you and victory do things differently but's so cool using forks to pick up each square I've never seen that before lol! it's gotta be so nice getting tips idk if tips was the right word or a second opinion since everyone seems they know what they are doing! and not just doing everything!
In the mid-80s, I drove a concrete truck. We were downtown, maybe one block from the main drive, the city was burring all its utilities, like hydro and internet and such. The construction company doing the work dug a hole across the street and put tape and sawhorse-type blockages, it was well protected. they mesh of plastic pipes in the hole, then we came in and covered them we pea iize gravel concrete, then came with flowable fill, which is concrete that when hardened you could shovel it, but put asphalt over this and you could drive a Canadian 140,000 lb truck over with no issues. But that day I was the last truck to drop this flowable fil and I heard a scream, here was a lady, in garb, you see in India, up to her armpits in this pit. How she got there, nobody had a clue, they had blocked off totally
Just found your channel this past weekend and have watched a handful of videos so far. Really enjoying them and your work looks great! A few questions: Why not place some rebar or mesh in the sidewalk and approach areas since they will see the same traffic as the driveway? Do you verify with the City/County what the sidewalk and approach construction specifications are? Maybe it doesn't matter since you are just replacing existing?
We bought a used international came from a auction turned into a nightmare aswell. One thing after another then we find a coolant leak to find out previous owner snapped off a thermostat bolt then must have sent it to auction. No more used trucks for us lol
how come driveways have to have the cuts in them but a basketball court doesnt? Is there a way to make a driveway without those cuts or cracks or whatever you call them?
After putting down a concrete driveway and tape up the area how long do the costumers need to wait before driving on 100% cured concrete 🤔 I'm thinking 2 weeks should be alright what is your opinion?
why no isolation of the sidewalk you would be tearing that out if you were in my city groovers are ok but not as affective as a 1-1/2 inch deep sawcut and more affective you can come back saw the next day and have a neater looking job isolation is very important on city right of way in case the city has to dig up utilities they dont have to rely on breaking out more concrete than needed
@@RickThomasConcrete Did u ever try that polymeric sand in the joints of the stone wall y’all did a few vids ago? The one where you built the back deck and the slab for the shed

Victory finds them with the skidsteer 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Gangers we call them in the Uk ! Get a strong crew and home before sunset. Well Done.
Thanks!😁🤘

Do you verify with the City/County what the sidewalk and approach construction specifications are? Maybe it doesn't matter since you are just replacing existing?
Thanks! Most municipalities we work in require the sidewalk and approach to be 6" thick, non-reinforced
We bought a used international came from a auction turned into a nightmare aswell. One thing after another then we find a coolant leak to find out previous owner snapped off a thermostat bolt then must have sent it to auction. No more used trucks for us lol
🤦♂️heard that. I won't buy used ever again
how come driveways have to have the cuts in them but a basketball court doesnt? Is there a way to make a driveway without those cuts or cracks or whatever you call them?
Concrete is very brittle and will definitely crack in random places if we don't install control joints/relief joints
Did you keep the same slope with the sidewalk intersect?
No. We go with existing sidewalk grade and then to the street
LOOKING GOOD BOYS!
Thanks, brotha! Happy New Year!!!
@@RickThomasConcrete right back atcha!
Looking nice 👍👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧Manchester England 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thank you! 😁 🤘
happy new year! videos are dope. when's the racing channel going live?
Thank you! Happy New Year! I'll probably wait until race season picks up in spring
After putting down a concrete driveway and tape up the area how long do the costumers need to wait before driving on 100% cured concrete 🤔 I'm thinking 2 weeks should be alright what is your opinion?
We recommend waiting a minimum of 10 days
do you guys have demo bins over there .load it no mess ????
Yes, but there's usually still a mess either way
why no isolation of the sidewalk you would be tearing that out if you were in my city
groovers are ok but not as affective as a 1-1/2 inch deep sawcut and more affective
you can come back saw the next day and have a neater looking job
isolation is very important on city right of way in case the city has to dig up utilities they dont have to rely on breaking out more concrete than needed
Because it's not required here on this job
Do you guys use any of the fiberglass rebar ? here in KC I have seen a fair amount using it .
Not a fan. We tried it and didn't care for it
Happy new year boys!
Thanks, brotha! Happy New Year! 🎉🎊
well done boys
Thanks! 😁🤘
Good job
Thanks
Atleast u use wire unlike grubmudd 😂
