but i do read the comments and i do respond to many of the comments so keep keep writing those comments it's awesome man i i really appreciate you guys so uh come along uh we'll see if we can have a good day and i'll see you guys at the coffee shop how much garbage do we make jewel did you drink it jewel this is the fifth time fifth do you do this on purpose i do it i wait for you come on you're gonna you're gonna be on youtube again again being out of house blind you gotta give her a hard time for that all right see you later yep see you guys tomorrow thank you yep morning bugs morning morning boss wow you're looking a little tired this morning all right so we're pretty much set up guys are just finishing up getting ready for this morning's pour we're talking about big thunderstorms this afternoon so um kind of change plans we're probably not going to finish this driveway today so we're going to pour up to where that by four is there the shutoff and we're gonna pour the porch a little bit later morning guys so we're pretty much set ready to go just waiting on concrete so i'll see you when it gets here oh come on oh right on the new concrete oh man what was he doing what was that dog thinking hey tom ryan from victory yes sir i have that eight o'clock i need 13 yards uh six and a half bag low chaired air microfiber 5 inch slump 20 minutes apart oh stop drilling for a second i want to explain this i get a lot of questions about these dowels so we put these dowels into the foundation al's drilling the holes and what you don't want to do and i've had questions about this is put the steel dowel in the middle of the slab because obviously the driveway can heave up and down with frost and you don't want that to be locked in so we actually put the dowels right on the bottom of the slab so that the slab can actually raise with frost and it's not locked in that the idea with the dowels is just to prevent the slab from settling so i wanted to answer that question because i've had the same question over and over and over again so then on the other hand when you're doweling into concrete that you just poured or existing concrete that's not on a footing that's going to move at the same rate you can dial right in the middle and connect those slabs because they're going to move together and you actually want them held together so drill those right in the middle customer bought us doughnuts daryl thank you thank you really been blessed with great customers recently i had some over spill from yesterday never leave this stuff in there because you can do a beautiful job have a little over spill like this and that's all the customer sees and you have an unhappy customer even though you did a huge job everything looks beautiful you leave a little bit of mess like that it changes their opinion about you so make sure you get the jobs cleaned up don't leave stuff like this laying around you ready autumn yeah okay ready to make that easy money did you

a driver oh you again man you showing off the guns all right [Music] if you cut my finger off with that shallow you're fired [Music] all right so we just poured the stoop driveway we finished a little while ago we poured that at eight stupids at 11 30. we had a pretty good lunch break in between the driveway set up very fast so i'll just finish striking this i'm going to finish that off driveway's done daryl junior's making easy money over here right daryl all right so i'm going to leave al here to finish the stoop the rest of us are going to take off yeah you're going to finish this yourself al you want somebody here no i don't need nobody that was a man oh oh no daryl why don't you use your belt loops man i'm sure he had a turbo you have a belt on they don't they go through two of the loops i missed it now if you need help don't call me because i'm busy dude i'll see you in the morning yeah thanks good morning fellas yep see you in the morning hi everybody good job ma'am all right i'll see you tomorrow if you're scrubbing don't call me i'm busy all right so i just uh got a call from al we poured a stoop at 11 30 and uh he finished it and then it started raining so he just called me and said the rain's coming in sideways and it's getting on the stoop and it needs help so i'm running out there i told you with concrete work man it's always something ah i told you if it starts raining don't call me why did we walk in the driveway your amazon guy ran right over the driveway he left footprints in the driveway we got caution tape up all the way down the whole driveway so just letting you know and once it whitens out they won't look too bad but they're there no goodie i hope this is worth it like this is a perfect goal yeah right it's probably something small oh water wipes wipes yeah maybe to wipe the marks out like i said man it's always something always something a stoop looks real good it's just really that one one little piece on the end where you are i'll just gotta wait this piece here this little tiny piece here wind or wind blew rain in through the side and got some water on that but the rest is fine it's just this tiny piece and then he'll trowel it and rebroom it'll be fine it looks like it's starting to dry it's going to be a little while though it's at least it's starting to be an hour all right all right see you later all right so we just left the job and uh you know as i noted the amazon guy walked across the wet concrete even after being told not to i think he just had one of those moments where his brain stopped working i don't know i mean we've all done that honest i've done that everybody's done that but that's just what happened he was told not to to go the other way he did go the other way but after he put the package on the porch he walked right over the driveway that he was just told not to walk on so anyways two quick stories of other people that have walked on wet concrete in my career so i have a whole i have a whole bunch of them so one time we just left a job and it was really far away it was like 45 minutes away which is farther than we normally go for a job we left we got all the way home and the pizza delivery guy bypassed the caution tape and walked all the way up the sidewalk that we had just finished and it was late it was getting dark so the concrete you know it stays pretty wet for a long time after the sun goes down so that had permanent prints in it there was one time we finished a driveway and the guys left again it was late it was getting dark everybody was gone and nobody actually realized what happened till way later and it was way too late to fix so anyways the neighbor had a big old dog and the dog i don't know if they didn't tie it up or whatever but uh he walked all over the new driveway of the house that we just finished the concrete there was paw prints everywhere i went to go look at it it was it was pretty bad so what happened in that one is the neighbor who owned the dog his homeowner's insurance actually paid for a brand new driveway so the neighbor that had the prince in the driveway he didn't get a new driveway um you know he didn't have the new driveway removed and replaced he just kept the driveway but basically he got a driveway for free that just had paw prints in it but i don't know if i were in his situation i would take a free driveway with paw prints in it so i think he made out so all right if you guys have any stories of people or animals or i have a lot more but i'm not going to take forever leave them in the comments below i would love to read through the comments of your stories of people that have walked through the concrete that you had just finished i know there's tons of stories out there so go ahead and share how much garbage do we make good morning it is friday which is my favorite it's five something in the morning and uh today we're going to be finishing up the job that we started earlier this week we just have one pour left just the end of the driveway so we're going to be finishing up that job next week the weather looks really good so that's great because i'm getting behind we've been fighting weather all week this week yesterday was a rain day next week the job is a custom job it'll be really cool uh it's gonna have a fire pit a seat wall gonna have some lighting in there pillars uh stamped concrete for a border around a patio and a new front sidewalk and it's it's gonna be a really nice job so i'm looking forward to that so all right well let's go to work i will see you guys at the coffee shop good morning how's the coffee business it's still here thank you good morning bug good how are you yeah yeah i had daryl take it out yesterday it's all bent up man too much weight yeah it's about time man you guys are late it's 6 31. oh one minute you're supposed to be here at 6 30 at the latest 6 15 is on time there he is you ready you ready yes sir all right adam it's ryan from victory yes sir i got eight o'clock uh i need 11 yards six and a half bag low chert air microfiber five inch slump 20 minutes apart so we got to get some of this water out of here man we had so much rain i think we had a couple inches of rain yesterday or the night before and then yesterday morning doesn't look like it though well we had it all covered it's just the end yo put that in the back of the white truck what are you doing in the truck i have nothing to do the grass is all wet so pretty much you're just in here making easy money yeah are you ready are you ready yes i'm ready all right it's friday morning it's show showtime it's all we got there concrete's here uh it's 11 yards not a big deal we're gonna roll up a curb there and then we're actually gonna roll down a curb there to meet the neighbor's driveway but you'll see that when it happens so all right we're going to dump this out morning how are you all right put a couple gallons [Applause] [Music] daryl's trying to be like an actor now he thinks he thinks he really is famous no back up just a little bit hey remember on that hot sunny day i yell at you don't back up when you dump yeah i had a reverse don't back up when you dump because now i got to push all that concrete about eight feet that way where daryl's standing that's a lot more work for us put your foot on the brake or leave it in forward when you dump all right okay thank you [Music] so [Music] so oh look at that look at that yeah it's pretty stuck you can never take it back that's full moon action right there why don't you take them to the big man i'm going to take them tomorrow what time do you get up i got you man i got you i'll have to climb down that's what friends are for all right thank you you're welcome that looks good bud thank you sir appreciate it so it's a weird situation we got a curb that rolls up against the wall and the wall stops and we roll it down to the neighbor's driveway it's a little odd but it'll work i think you should put this in your truck it's it's golf balls for you and your crew it's that's the cash oh this is a i'm glad he told me that i just want to make sure you get that yeah we get all squared yeah that's perfect thank you fantastic job yeah we'll get everything cleaned up and all that and you know we're gonna strip the forms and yeah that's pretty much it if you have any other things that you think about just call our email or whatever okay yeah and let me know about that youtube video oh did you see that one already i already put one up on your job yeah it's right here big daryl he's the thought he's a click bait [Laughter] that's funny how handsome can you get you know what i'm saying yeah all right if i don't see you thank you and have a great weekend all right well the guy paid me in cash so that's obviously minus what he's given me already but a lot of you guys ask me what i charge for the jobs and uh you know i'm completely open and honest about my pricing i don't care who knows my pricing i really don't pretty much everybody that's commented how much of that job costs i just gave you a straight answer what it costs and whatever you guys need to know i'll let you know whatever i can do to help you guys out i'm all about it so i guess in my mind in my heart i just i want to see people succeed and i know there's been a lot of young guys commenting and asking me about starting a business and so forth and you know i'll get around to talking about that stuff you know what my philosophy is as far as getting into business and what you should be ready to expect i'll get into that at some point but as far as pricing goes just ask man and i'll tell you i'll give you square footage prices and all that it's fine i don't mind that at all so as i mean some days are kind of tolerable but today's really bad man it's basically like you're walking around nude yeah you're starting to become famous how do you feel about that oh feeling really good yeah yeah man you pretty much you're pretty much like a young tom cruise how cool is he yep yeah hi there yeah are you busy tomorrow morning um i don't know i don't know okay i love you guys i was thinking to pick you up and go get you to the big and tall store and get some longer t-shirts tomorrow morning yup tomorrow morning we got to find you some bigger shirts man my editing just taking so long you know yeah man i have to edit so much stuff out and i have to do blurring and everything i think it would be a lot easier if i got you some really big shirts how do you think yeah all right so we just got this concrete down al's finishing up edging how is it out concrete's good it's not setting up today it's cool out it's cloudy out it's a perfect day for pouring concrete and this was a very small pour it was only 11 yards so we rolled that down to meet the driveway there the neighbor's driveway it's a shared driveway so i'm just going to take a minute here it's not quite ready for joints yet that's the next thing i have to do but i've been having a lot of questions in the comments section and emails and you know facebook messenger instagram a lot of young guys or guys in general are contemplating going into business and they've asked me questions uh one question in particular is how to get into business or when do you know that you're ready to get into business and i guess my philosophy was very conservative i'm a very conservative person just in general all the way around every part of it so what i did and the safest way to get into business is just to start really slow so yeah you can you know you can take out loans and get a bunch of trucks and get all the equipment you need and then you're going to have a ton of stress and pressure you're going to have that financial burden over your head constantly so the way that i did it and the way that i recommend a safe way to do it is to continue working where you're at at a full-time job and you know start you'll start getting side jobs start doing the side jobs on the weekend or at nights you know just fit it in and this is what i did and eventually what happens is you start to get so much side work you don't you don't have time for your regular job anymore and that's when you know it's time you know to step out on your own so you'll have the work already and you'll have established a little bit of a reputation by that time already and uh if you do it that way you can make it so a couple tips and ideas for you to get work number one the real a real easy cheap way is flyers that's not going to be that's not going to have the most impact flyers job signs are excellent you guys probably have noticed that i have job signs made up we put them at the end of the job for neighbors and passers-by and cars they see a driveway and uh job signs do really really good obviously you're going to want to do a website honestly like a professional high-end website is not necessary you don't have to plop down ten thousand dollars to get a great website made it's not really your it's not going to be the primary way that people find you is through your website but it is important to have a decent website even if you get like a decent template website get some before and after pictures a little bit about yourself and uh you know let them know that you do quality work that's really all you need honestly for a website and then once you get established maybe your first or second probably after your second year a really great thing to do is to get into your local home shows your home improvement shows ours is at like our state fair convention center we have one in one or two in waukesha we have them all over the place but try to get yourself involved and set up a booth at a home improvement show that's going to get you work they're really really good some shows can profit you many many jobs from one show so that cost some money you probably can't do that right away obviously getting into a booth and paying for it and building a booth it all takes money but after you get a little bit established and you're ready to take the next step try to get involved in that because that's a that's an awesome way to get work uh people are coming through those shows looking to spend money they're actually looking for you instead of you out there looking for them so they're uh they're really good those are just some tips and tricks for you guys that are thinking about getting into business i encourage it man if you're a hustler you know if you're if you're confident and you're dedicated and you're focused anybody can get into business and make it and be successful that's that's just what i've learned i'm nobody special i'm not a super smart guy i'm not an eloquent speaker as you guys can tell i'm just an average dude you know but i'm a hard worker and i love what i do and uh you know if you have that in you you can get into business and you'll be successful as well so i'm gonna go cut these joints i'll talk to you guys later [Music] [Applause] [Music] keep it nice and straight straight all the way back to you beautiful awesome the first time you ever did that yep time we've done in about half an hour just cleaning up customers real happy already paid and uh neighbors happy which is really important on a job like this since it's a shared driveway there's always issues to work through when you have a shared driveway but you just got to be patient and uh you know if there's problems you just got to offer solutions and work through it which is what we did here and everything worked out good so what do you think darryl yeah please please leave her shut down but sorry done victory style yes sir have a great weekend everyone and we'll see you monday morning wow he took my whole spot man i don't have to say anything see you guys [Music] you
