**This is an April Fools Joke**
If you fell for it, consider subscribing to our channel and sharing video wirh friends of yours in the construction business. The reason we got it so wrong is because we know how to do it right, we just did the opposite for
this video. 😆
Thanks for watching.
Here is another joke video we made for those that believed my flat earth comment. 😁

"If you're doing a sloped surface do not add this because it will self level" I lost it!! 🤣🤣🤣😭😭💀💀
Your frame needs to be level first
Yeah. That pretty much killed me too...
That is the difference between 3000 and 3500 psi concrete more water…. I was on floor at this point… also duplex nails get nailed from inside forms you just don’t know.
I died at “this is the universal signal to give you concrete”
This is straight gold….
Somewhere there's a homeowner doing this thinking he's doing it right.
@UC71q7GBrESO6AFf2yvbS1iw I did watch the very end but I was writing comments as I went he got me.
When he said duplex nails with two heads, what????
I hope so.
@@precisionguesswork5394, I used to work at a place that made nails and brads, tacks, concrete screws, and DUPLEX nails, and yes duplex nails have 2 heads, and yes you are supposed to drive both of the heads in because of expansion of the concrete! This is how we know when people know what they are talking about. Lol
@@snakespear-1 I am aware of duplex nails, of course I've never called them that, but their use is to hold framing in place, and still have a head to pull them out with a claw hammer. Just didn't think of them as a two headed nail. Obviously you wouldn't use them on the inside of a cement form.
Shamefully I must admit you had me until the “braces” part. I did scratch my head when you were talking about the hammer. “$20 and a burrito” 😂 Thanks for the laughs!
Braces for closet shelves--just stick in any old thing, love it.
Nail inside out? "scratch head". How do you remove forms if the head is on the concrete side? $20 and a beer with that burrito
The braces man was hilarious but swinging that hammer, I was like no way. Next time I'll read the description. I was getting furious.
He started talking about how to hold the hammer and I'm like, what? Then the "braces" just killed me. 🤣
Thank you so much. My wife was telling me how easy it was to pour our own driveway, so I showed her this video. She watched the whole thing saying, "Yeah. See?" She watched in disbelief as you wrote "April Fool." She was so mad that I wasted 16 minutes of her day.
lmao
Underrated 😂
pure love it is..
honestly it isnt that hard its just time consuming.
Man I was look forward to doing a little slab like that LMAO no dyi easy way for me dang . U mess me up 😜😜😜
"Pump truck are fairly cheap" 😂🤣😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s true
@@judyl.761 not where I come from... lol..
$20 and a burrito
It brings comfort to me that somewhere out there people followed this trying to be contractors... "Do it at noon, its like a cake" 😂
Loved this 😂. My favorite part I think was the “self leveler” then he comes back and it’s perfectly finished.
Loved that part too, sprinkling magic on top.
It's like baking a cake😂😂
When he said “ this is how you hold the hammer” I was ready to lose it! Lol
And then talking shit about others ive seen dudes hammer from the outside in like he said" not to " and they some bad dudes
Me too ..!!! My instructor in apprentice sch ..would say grab that hammer by the neck again imma grab YOU by the neck
You should have won a oscar for keeping a straight face while making this DIY video.
😂😂😂
What DIY
WTH 😱 very realistic... to the end 😂👊
O.M.J! Hilarious.
Lol ...that little self level bag took that big crater out while u went and got beers...lol...ur guys brought that come along over there while you were gone.....lol....just seen the end....
From the beginning, I was like WTF? I'm not a pro but a handyman and I was tripping after all these years of doing it "wrong". Funny stuff Dude.
LOLOL, I tried to flag down a dozen cement trucks to pour concrete for a shed I’m making. Nine of the truck drivers told me to go F*** myself. The other three said “Are you crazy!” I tried to bribe them with money, food and finally my wife but they refused all my great offers. Hilarious video. I used to make forms for concrete and wondered why they had to make new ones every time. I thought of an idea to make prefab forms but never had the money to patent my invention. Now many companies use my invention but I don’t get a damned dime. My wife doesn’t either.
I was believing him for much longer than I'm going to admit!!!! 😃
Me too 🤦♀️🤦♀️ to think I actually believed him 🤣🤣 I was ready to go out & buy the materials & do my own 🙄🤣
I believed him until he wrote April fool. I know nothing about concreting 😂 I was annoyed when it dawned on me.
Lmao....I just thought wtf?
IKR! When he said to pour over grass...I'm thinking, that sounds kindof stupid and wrong...but let me hear more. LOL.
Same, I've never done any concrete work so this went way over my head until he said the Earth is not round. 😂
Pro tip: you can save on concrete by mixing it with baking powder. It will rise up to twice it's normal size. If you don't have baking powder, you can use beer. Budweiser is best, because nobody will miss it.
Lol!!!!!
Real man drink bud...weiser.....girls..take badlights...jojojo
He is not a concrete contractor,he is a demolition expert cause a y shit he builds .just be demolished adap...he is avwrapons manufacturer too cause all he builds is hazardous to humans safety....what a comedian
@@KingParisBuckingham are you fuckin drunk lmfao
@@flapcat4681 I think he drank all the Bud for his mix.
I started laughing at "fiber re-enforced" and only stopped when he admitted that it was all BS. The duplex nails was the funniest.
I was like you’re stepping on all the fibers, get out before people think you’re a joke. Unfortunately I believed him at first
Love how he says don't stand on the grass inside so it keeps standing up.... Then proceeds to walk continuously on it👍
"Twenty bucks and a burrito!" Damn that was great 🤣🤣🤣
Don't forget the cerveza😂
That got me too bruh😂
🤣🤣🤣😭 Why did that part pop up as I was reading your comment? Omg!
Let me ask u something its probably his contracting sight
OMG, I'm an ACI CMT Inspector and I was getting so mad! You totally got me bro. Good one!
My goodness! I had so many WTF moments during this but I had to watch the whole thing through to see the results. What a good laugh at the end. Well done
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 he had me dying with the shelving brackets. Hahaha. “You put these on the Inside corners and then boom!” And then he kicks one out when he’s pouring and just throws it aside. 😂😂😂 ah man. That’s perfectly square!” Lmao. Well done man hilarious video.
I thought he was serious in the beginning.
10 years of running a concrete pump and finally i see it done right.....🤣😂
Now I know how to hold a hammer......16 yrs I've been doing it wrong...
60 years of wiping my ass, I guess I've been doing it wrong my oh my
How many 20's and burritos did you get?
That dude running around with concrete in the pump hopper is fired or spending the next month cleaning it out.
@@williamschuman4951 Save the planet and don't buy toilet paper......dig it out with yo left hand (eat with yo right)......3 billion people can't be wrong:)
Just give ‘em 20.00 bucks and a Burrito 😂🤣 oh my what a funny video. Natural fiber hahaha
Did he say the earth is not round? Good one! 😂
I'm a construction worker, you had me laughing my ass off! Good one!
@Fidel Ca 320% -- the extra 20% to cover cost of excess $1/sq ft. materials, especially those custom stakes and corner braces!
@@algallego Zaza l. h
I am Lost Is This True What He Explained
@@wilson9hern watch the end it is an April Fools joke. Everything he said was wrong.
@@wilson9hern every word
As a retired civil engineer with 40 yrs. Experience I can tell you I've worked with some contractors that weren't too much better than this guy. Loved the part about adding a little water! Thanks for making my day!
No the self leveling powder was the best.................Hope they put a little shed on this so it did'nt have to go to one of our landfills......And concrete isnt really heavy,only about 4050 lbs /cu yard
I can't figure out whether he was trying to do everything wrong and give the worst advice? Or is he just that bad! Natural fiber from grass?🤔lol got to be kidding
@@hilarywerdebaugh8523 Did you even watch to the end?? Apparently not. 🤦🏻♂️
@@jimmartinez6087 I couldn't waste another second of my life watching to the end. Don't advise anyone else do neither. He took too much time getting to the punchline for me. So ,no I obviously didn't watch to the end. I wouldn't wasted any time to respond had it not popped up while I'm warming up my car. Have a good one Capt obvious
@@hilarywerdebaugh8523 You really are the definition of an idiot. You initially complain how bad of a contractor he is; then you admit that you didn't watch to the end, so it's on you; then you personally attack me for calling you out. You also failed to read the notes above that clearly say "***This is an April Fools Joke*** So, if you're calling me "Captain Obvious", then you are Captain Clueless.
While seeing the title and started watching video I thought this guy is very knowledgeable person and helping people, but at end cannot stop laughing 😂😂
He actually is very knowledgeable.
Been a carpenter for 38 years. This is the best tutorial I've ever seen on concrete, and what's behind the costs! Make sure to watch till the end... david
My father did concrete work and started me doing it when I was 13. I started watching this video and thought, "This guy is nuts". Thanks for a good laugh.
Same here. 18 years military construction, and I thought the guy was nuts too.
He freaking crazy
Just give them 20 bucks 😂
This guy says hammer is too long what an idiot
Sorry bro I did not know it was a comedy script now I am an idiot hillarious carnal
They’ll do it for 20 bucks and a burrito 😀😃😄😁😆😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. This guy deserves an academy award for being able to keep a straight face through the whole thing.
loved the part about sprinkling the self leveler then going for some cold beer and come back and the job is done. love it!
“And we’re ready to pour some co- uhh cement!” 😂
This is why you're alone on the lawn and everyone else is over there behind you 30 yards out learning the right way. Just leave nilly alone over there he thinks he's a supervisor 😂
During this whole video I was thinking this guy is nuts. OMG, I wonder how many DIYers out there didn’t figure out you were joking. Also at over seven million views you got a royalty from You Tube for almost $33,000. AND THAT’S NO APRIL FOOLS JOKE! Nice work my friend!
Yeap!!!!!!! This guy is not only a Joke....he is a stupid fraud.... You get extra concrete in the hopper...that is left from large pours and it is excess (true), but you will never pour a patio..,with excess.., (false)
Damn! NOW I NEED TO REMEMBER TO FORGET EVERYTHING I JUST LEARNT !!!
me to I don't like these kind of jokes. It will be hard for me to forget it now
Idiot...this is bullshit
What idiots, this made me not subscribe. Is life a joke to him, well it is not to me.
Puff puff pass the blunt homie
“I’ll show you a trick to make it self level” 😂😂😂 fucking A. 11:11 sprinkles that shit on 😂😂😂😂 holy fuck this HILARIOUS!!!! I don’t know how it did this with a str8 face. “DONT add this if you’re doing a slopped surface!” 😂😂 holy Shit man I’m dyyyyying. “Go have some beers with your friends” 😂 ah man.
nice back drop, I went from confused to laughing out loud. Great video
20 bucks and a burrito? Count me in.
$20 bucks... a $1.00 burrito and $15.00 for concrete and u get a patio???? I'll take 3!!!
He remains dead serious, that alone is worth an oscar.
Yea grass ain't strong enough not even close.Wonder how many people took him seriously.
You round earthers take us all for a joke. This guy deserves a phd for his contributions to science research. When you look into it...
At 12:50 you can almost see him break character. But my god... this is so good.
Lyin contractor. That's what they are really good at.
Awesome performance 👏🏾👏🏾
I started watching it and remembered the April fools joke and still I always get a laugh at this 😂 I miss concrete and asphalt work ❤
Really love it when a "Professional" calls concrete, "Cement".
I'm just imagining someone stopping the video just before he writes April Fool's. Thinking yep I know what to do now...
he was so good at explaining, i only watched the first 10 minutes, then i flagged down a truck gave him $20 and the poquito signal, then poured my entire tool shed slab monolithic style, for just under 3¢/ft
Walkthrough Videos OmG more water raises the strength 😱😩
I don’t understand the video.... when the grass dies you’ll have holes in the concrete.
@@DylanBegazo its a joke do NOT make concrete this way
I was almost that guy!!! lol.
The fact that some people can’t see the sarcasm is astounding
Thats just how good of a salesman this guy is
Sorry, but I've never done any real construction work nor have I heard some of his terms like "porous" and "leveling." I just wanted to make a cement
Thank you I started a business because of this ...I'm able to undercut those big companies 🤣
First I was like "who the hell calculates concrete by the square foot?", Then I was like 😂
As soon as he said grass was good fiber and he didn't know why a framing hammer was so long I knew he was full of it
@Fred Jaminson he making mexicans looks bad
@@alanramirez6152 You dumb fucks making humanity look bad for not being able to tell it's an April Fool's joke.
@@faraque exactly... I like how the OP is trying to talk shit About someone being stupid and can't even spell mesh right
thank you for sharing... one best practice to add... I let my grass grow to about 5-7", pour the concrete, then, after it dries I'll mow the grass down to the concrete.. this way, grass fibers extend ALL the way through the concrete for added strength throughout... you're welcome!
😂
Hahaha
Lol cut the grass down to the concrete hahahaha
Lmfao mate what a comment lol class
Livereater00 , It’s not a good idea to have the grass longer because you’ll have to mow it all the time, just do like the guy says have grass inch bellow the board level so it doesn’t grow through
"The world is flat as your slab" Great....🤣🤣
I love it! Some clients really do think work can be done with bare bones budget. I’m going to share this for sure. We all need a good laugh here and there. This was a good laugh, thanks.
"Mother Earth is giving you all the fibers you need" hahahahaha
I was in tears by the "Earth" part😂
I was buying this until he started talking about the nails😂
I knew right away that he was joking when he mentioned leaving the grass for the fibers. I have first hand experience pouring concrete with organics in it (wood, leaves, olive pits, etc.). It weakens the concrete so bad and is very difficult to fix.
Hahahaha, yeah, that was the best part of the whole thing. I was completely dying!
😂😂😂the funniest part
As a contractor I find this hilarious. You get what you pay for people.
Sam
funny video I couldn't stop laughing
This dude was F ing around Couldn't be serious freaking hilarious is hilarious complaining about long hammers OMG😅🤣
Hi what happens if you don’t cut the cement in block lines. What if I leave it one whole in my back yard?
@@Mzlm511 it’ll crack
Grass = Fibers. CLASSIC!!!!
Kills me everytime he calls it “cement” 💀😂 all jokes aside, there’s actually GREAT tips in this video if you do the opposite.
He had me with paying the pump truck 20$ and a burrito!!😂😂
" Get you a pump truck. Go find one in your neighborhood and just give him some gas money and he'll pump it for you"
and a burrito!
😂🤣
You had me on the hook until the hammer grip. Funny stuff.
I feel like I need to check my IQ after watching this video. I was so planning to do this 😂 until I saw the end of the video. WTF. Good one man!
🙋♀️🙋♀️ me too 🤣🤣 I need that IQ check 🤦♀️🤓🤣
Not funny at all asshole. Why do you think it’s funny th lie to people the do not know any better. This should not be allowed to be on this Chanel.
Yeah I had to replay the end to make sure I understood him clearly lol
YES!. Next time a customer asks if I'm going to remove the grass before pouring I'll tell them no way, it natural fiber and helps it to not crack..lol
@Mark Moody its an aprils fools joke read the description
Didn't watch whole vid did you?!
😆
What a joke
I can see homeowners telling their contractors “oh you don’t need rebar, the grass is fiber! I seen it in the internet”
The concrete truck driver I chased down died laughing when I offered him $20 and a burrito.
I'm thinking a customer complained that he cost too much so he made this video to throw it back in they face hahaha
As a former ready-mix truck driver, I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard! Great video!
Smyrna ready mix?
@@chuckdizzle3739 a ready mix is a mix of conrete that is made by a company when ordered via a message or pre-order and is delivered on site ready to pour the moment it arrives. (sometimes it needs a mix up or a lil water)
Smyrna ready mix is a company that makes and delivers ready mix concrete in Smyrna TN and the Nashville area. I work for them. so I don't need to be educated, and my question was did you work for Smyrna Ready Mix?
Chuck Williams he thought you were asking what ready mix was you douchebag. He was just trying to help.
@@chuckdizzle3739 big oof. Rude my guy.
i started doubting with the way he poured water ...until then i trusted him like our school teachers ................
That is the first convincing argument I've heard about the earth being flat!
I don't work construction, I've only ever poured one slab in my life, but this video is priceless.
LOL.....
I feel sorry for the guys that didn't watch till the end and ran off to do this!
I feel sorry for the guys that needed to watch to the end to get it, when most got the joke in the first minute.
What? You mean there was more?
Glad I stayed till the end! 😄
😂😂
😂😂😂
This was the greatest DYI video ever. I use hair spray on the grass to keep it up right.
How have I never seen this. Good work. I wish you would have said something like "this pump truck was just pouring road construction in Houston, we gave him $20 and some beer now he brought us all the concrete."
“The handle is just for when you put it in your pouch, more leverage” 😂😂😂
The problem with this video, is that some people may watch it all the way up till "April Fools", and then miss that part! Then, they go and try the whole procedure! Whoa boy! lol.
O
Can you imagine the disaster 🤣😁😂...
If they do then they deserve it.
No moisture barrier 😂🤣 Self leveling 🤣😂 Wetter is stronger 😂🤣
@@tanksalotbrad6600 He told the truth at the end of the video when it's tooooo late for some people 🤣😁😂...
Soon as I heard “grass is natural fibers.” I was like WTH? 😂😂
This video was satire, this guy actually does great work
I was a construction worker working with concrete for 40 years and I enjoyed this very much.
As a certified concrete inspector, this could not be more cringe! Great video, lots of laughs!
I used to be a inspector... easiest most high paid job ive ever had... The last inspection i did was the water tower in nashville.. They poured 1000 yards a day for a week
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣
Concrete Inspector: alright let's take a look see....yup that's concrete alright...*quickly runs after receiving check*
"Concrete isn't as heavy as THEY say." ...???...🤣🤣🤣 This IS Hilarious!!! Natural fibers....I Lost it!!!
I saw this from a short somewhere and my eye was twitching until I came to the full video lmao
*People just smile, it's all a joke* *He's King 👑 of jokes* *Funny as hell*
I knew something was wrong when he tells you "I shouldn't be walking on the grass", but then continues to walk ON THE GRASS the entire time LOL!
That sledge was to drive those stakes deeper!!!
Wow. I was looking up good burrito recipes to give to the concrete truck driver until the April fool's ending. Got me!
I was listening and watching and shaking my head. I couldn’t stand this. I was thinking “I can see a pro job site actively going behind this guy. How in the heck is he saying this? How can he get something so wrong and work with pros?” Never so happy as to see April Fools written out!
Grew up in a concrete family, this had my sides hurting from laughing so hard. $20.00 bucks and a burrito will get your ass kicked by a driver!!!
Hard Core Hope Foundation lmao when I head 20 bucks and a burrito I was like wtf are you kidding me I got charge 7000 to do my drive way and mofos are pocketing the rest 😂
Abel Rojas Those pumps are so expensive that I have done an entire basement using a wheelbarrow.
Hard Core Hope Foundation ... in California?
Hell yea they'll run your ass over.
This guy is a bit much...BUT I know plenty of ppl that for $20-$100 have gotten walkways and driveways done or mostly done with “leftover” material from jobs being done right next door just so they could go home with an empty truck bc it was all already paid for anyway
I hope I don’t accidentally recall any of this information in the future.
Smh
Joshua Cannon Red green was his professor in concrete pouring lmao
Yo this man a clown...am having belly laughs in nyc..fucker would be fired asap if he worked like this in NYC or arrested for fraud
You probably didn’t watch the whole vid through
Too late i poured a slab like it for my pump house it wasnt for nothing but to keep grass off pump.... lol lmao
I know nothing about cement pouring so was with the dude right up until the hammer holding before I realised he was pulling our plank 🤣
Man, you had me really worried for a little bit. I’m glad I watched until the end. Nice one.!! I do love the 20 bucks and a burrito part.
Almost had me going. Grass fiber bwahaha, lol, shelf brackets , I'm dying!
He got me going all through the video as i was writing. Then he says April fools at end. Good one!!!
It was flat grass as soon as they started to pour. LOL
I've been a construction superintendent for 32 years, I wish I would have seen this video years ago my bonuses would have been huge with the money I could have saved. Can't wait to try it on my next job site. Thanks 😊
4 years later 🤣😂!!! The only reason the earth is flat is the self leveling compound!
Home owners first great mistake is when they decide to save money and do-it-yourself. LOL!
What I hated about this video was that I couldn't stop watching. Thanks for the laughs. 😄
He got me hahaha. I will share it w/co,workers.
got me, I kept watching thinking "this guy's old enough to know better" got me
Thanks for teaching me how to lay a slab through sarcasm. lol.
It's it's funny how you said the Earth is flat and you had a straight face 🤣
I was waiting for one of the guys in the background to run up and yell something like “How the hell did Eric escape the nuthouse again?!?”
Or " Felipe you dont work here ,please stop comming on our sites.
The shelf brackets ; 😂 that’s when I knew there was a punchline.
If you've got some plumbers' tape lying around on your truck, it works just as well, but use galvanized roofing nails for good luck.
i've watched this multiple times over the years. Its great! I really appreciate your wit and making it convincing!!!! I love when you say "cement" instead of concrete. When someone says See-ment floor or whatever, I laugh to myself and teach them the difference between cement and concrete. Concrete work is extremely difficult, heavy work. Thanks for your videos!!!!
I knew it was fake when you added the burrito to the $20. There is no way a cement truck guy is going to be okay with just one burrito.
"A ball-peen hammer would be best but a claw hammer is fine." Priceless!
13 years pouring concrete for a living got me really mad quick watching this video until i realized he was joking lol. People that have never done this work have no idea how much work it is to pour concrete and do it right.
you're joking right? Mixing and pouring concrete is VERY simple. If you say its not easy you are either lying or just plain stupid.
WINNING it is putting things like post in the ground and you have to put concrete around them. Try doing what the guys behind him are doing. It takes alot of work getting to look right takes alot of back work. Do you know how many bags it would take to fill even that section he is working on? He is gonna pour that out of a truck not mix bags to fill it in. You do know they make concrete trucks right? You sir must be really stupid to think all concrete is mixed by hand using bags.
WINNING you said mixing which would say you would have to mix bags of concrete. Yes the truck does it thats what the truck is for. Your the idiot and a racist for saying only stupid Mexicans do this sort of work. You do however need the experience and back labor to get the job done right. This shows me how you know nothing about nothing. How many patios and sidewalks have you poured and finished and got paid for?
WINNING i bet your one of these rich raised people that have been given everything your whole life. You went to college and got a degree and you think your better than everyone especially people that have to work hard like these guys do to make a living. I did this sort of work for years to pay the bills and i graduated high school with a 4.0. Now i have a better job making almost twice as much than this job would give me and i do not work near as hard. I bet you look down your nose at servers and walmart workers too dont you? But i bet you still go out to eat and you probably go to walmart.
Ninten dont But do You’re wasting time responding. A piece of shit asshole troll is the worst kind of trash there is and he’s a pro.
He said "dry concrete doesn't get hard you have to add water" 😅🤣😅🤣.....concrete leveler 😅😅😅
ha ha ha ha ha ha Like it says: "DO NOT DO THIS!" Oh now he writes, "APRIL FOOLS!" Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha All the way through I'm thinking, "This guy is NUTTS!" What a prankster! Thanks for the laughs.
At first I thought he was an idiot. As soon as he showed the "correct" way to hold a hammer I knew he was just messing with us.
LMAOOOOO
That’s when I got it too. I was skeptical until then but from then on it was a total hoooot
