(bell rings)
- [Narrator] Let's go take care of them.
(spray whooshing)
Ooh!
- [Sprayer] Got you?
- [Narrator] Nah (laughs).
(bright electronic music)
(machine whirring)
We need to bring this back another foot, Jay.
This is 25.
We need to bring it to 26.
So basically we got a big old patio.
It's coming about 26 feet out to here
and that over there in that corner is gonna come out
probably about 20 feet.
All this is gonna be concrete.
We're gonna do a picture frame, as they call it.
Finish here, a broom finish inside the picture frame,
a smooth finish along the borders of the picture frame.
And we also we gonna do this side here.
Here.
That's gonna come out about 10 feet.
(wind whooshing)
This is a new development.
Well, it's been here about 15 years,
but normally on new developments,
they're pretty much ready to drop forms.
We gotta take some dirt down here.
We've gotta take some dirt down.
Probably push it over here.
You can tell kinda over in this little valley,
it's kinda deep here.
So we're gonna put some of that dirt here.
We're gonna add some base for that.
We gonna get a sewer box for here.
Gonna take this out.
(indistinct) taking the door down.
We got the Bobcat ready to come here.
(drill buzzing)
So we're normally gonna come up to here.
We're gonna come up about a foot off the fence
in case they gotta repair or replace it.
Probably gonna add some rock there.
We've got a drainage here.
We might incorporate it,
we might kick it out.
See how it's gonna take.
Yeah, so that's what we at.
Ready to rock and roll.
Let's get it.
(bright electronic music)
So this is part one
of maybe a three-part series of this project here.
You definitely gonna wanna stick around to the end,
to check out some after pictures of the concrete pour.
That's gonna be video number two,
and, as always, I hope everyone's doing well
and staying positive.
(bright electronic music)
Yeah, so with any construction project,
there's always something that comes up.
Nothing never goes true to plan, but for the most part,
we're hitting on all cylinders.
But with this job, we had the attack of the bees.
Now I believe this beehive is a big beehive
that was underground here next to the customer's door here.
And we put base rock on it.
We had some spray we sprayed on it
and these bee just wouldn't go away.
We had a couple bee stings.
But you know, it's part of the job here.
Even when we poured the concrete,
these bees still was hovering around.
So I don't know what kind of bees this is, these are.
But you know, it is California.
So ain't no telling.
Now, if you have any questions or any comments,
you can leave those below.
I appreciate everybody that has been liking the videos
and has been subscribing to the channel.
Definitely appreciate that. (bells ringing)
Now, if you're in the Sacramento Bay Area,
you know you can hit us up.
All our information is below.
So sit back, relax, enjoy the ride.
We're gonna let this video play out a little bit.
This is us framing for this concrete pour.
It's gonna be a picture frame finish here.
So be on the lookout for the next video.
I should have that up in the next couple of days,
but I would've had it up sooner,
but I let the videos record on 4K.
So when I came home,
I had over 130 gigs of a video
so I had to go through that and break it down.
So lately, my videos have been about 10, 11 minutes,
which is kinda longer than what I like to do,
but I've been getting some requests to make them longer.
So here you go.
Again, any questions, any comments, leave below.
(bright electronic music) (wind whooshing)
(gravel rustling)
That's good, that's good. - Oh, okay.
- [Narrator] No, go, go.
(gravel rustling)
(upbeat electronic music)
(bell rings)
So with any patio or driveway,
we, for the most part, put in base rock.
There are gonna be some instances
where you don't need the base rock
because the ground is pretty compact
or it's pretty solid for the most part.
But for the most part, we do add base rock.
Here we added about seven yards of base rock
and we also compacted.
Now you can think of base rock
as a sub floor for concrete.
We also made some adjustments
with the existing drainage there or the catch basins there.
Now, this patio was set up
so the water can flow off.
So I don't like to leave drain boxes
or catch basins in concrete.
If necessary, we will leave them in.
But in this instance, we didn't need them,
but the client wanted to leave them in.
So we left them in,
but we had to dig them out and kind of replumb them
to make sure that it was nice and straight.
(bright electronic music)
So again, there's gonna be a part two
and a possible part three.
Also, I wanna thank all our new subscribers
and the people that have subscribed to our channel
and has continued to follow us.
Greatly appreciate that.
I did get a phone call today
from a lady down south, well, in Southern California.
And it was very, very positive feedback
she left on a telephone message.
So she has a small project down there.
Now, we're not in the LA area,
but she really wanted my input.
So I just wanna tell her,
thank you very much.
She know who she is.
I don't wanna put her name out here.
But that's what I mean by, you know,
you gotta stay positive.
You gotta hang around people that are positive
and it's cool to ask for help.
So I hope this video helped you guys out
and also give you an insight on what it takes
to grade and get ready to pour some concrete.
We do have the concrete set up for tomorrow,
which is really today,
and I'll have that video out next week.
Now, if you're in the Sacramento Bay Area,
you can hit us up.
All our information is below.
I appreciate you guys.
Be sure to hit that like button
and I catch you on the next one.
