I finally show some proof to end the wire mesh debate!! When we pour concrete and pull the wire mesh up and then walk all over it does it stay where we want it?

It would be great to watch your progress on the creek property and how you deal with any issues that arise where your creativity resolves them. Garage floor looks great!
Thanks I will try and get some video as it progresses.
Feel guilty after work coming home and watching you and the BB crew work. You represent builders who truly make this country great, not with rhetoric, but with pouring the foundations of hard work into it and sharing a sense of humor about yourselves with your viewers that is contagious.
Thanks for that super nice comment. 😀
Do NOT SHAVE... UNLESS absolutely necessary 💯
Get to ZZ-Top beard status.
seeing the property being developed would add some interesting variety to your channel
Ok thanks
Big Biscuit is looking healthy !!! Keep it going
For sure he is.
Thank you (big biscuit)
Pull the wire up! Something I learned from my father (building contractor) 50 years ago, you are absolutely correct in situations like this
Thanks. 😃
Gotta say I just demoed some concrete for a bathroom where the wire mesh was NOT pulled up… it was still strong as hell even in the bottom inch of the concrete and there were no cracks in the slab. Makes me not worry about it much either way. Anyway, you guys do a great job. Love your channel.
Get bondo rule number one in labor is humor your crew is always happy and comfortable good job boss years ago you said you were a bad boss butt grown since good job it’s awesome the way you keep everything flowing like concrete 4000 psi of laughter can’t crack Erik from Montana my company name is stix and stone eureka mt thanks have a great day dude
Thanks Erik. I try and keep the mood positive buddy.
ive seen wire in every kind of slump you can imagine. the ONLY way it doesnt get up into the concrete is if its not pulled up. even in 8-10 slump, it stays up. if the concrete has aggregate in it, which it should, the rocks get under the mesh and it will not get stepped down. ive torn out cracked up concrete that separated and heaved and guess what we found? wire mesh laying on the ground. if the mesh/rebar is in the bottom 1/3, it will do its job along with a good base. for concrete to not fail, it takes multiple steps and processes. its more than just pulling mesh. good looking slab as usual, guys!! the way biscuit is losing weight, we're going to have to start calling him mini biscuit. :) keep up what ever youre doing, biscuit cuz its working!! i think a land developing series would be a great idea. you can show what future land owners what they might be up against.
Ok thanks and I will try and get some video of property and thanks for the info on wire in a loose slump. 👍
I’m not sure if I’ll ever be a mini biscuit but I appreciate the comment thank you (big biscuit)
@jasonbond1666 Just be careful of Good Woman who can also cook!! My wife fit that bill...she put 60lbs on me in no time!😊LOL. (She was worth Every pound!)
My wife and I spend a lot of time in and around Redfield, have been looking for a legendary Yenko Camaro that’s rumored to be beside a barn in that area, have heard the rumor for years, so it may have some weight. It’s a beautiful area, good luck with your camp, I would enjoy seeing the progress you’re going to make. I guarantee that stream is loaded with craw dad’s, once the water warms up take a look. You won’t need to pour concrete anymore, can just sell crab bait! 👍😉
Awesome thanks. I would like to catch some trout too. 😃
Richland has come along way since I was there, used to go to bingo with my grandmother in the 70's, fly out of the little airport too. Cousin lives up there now too! Thanks for a refresh on my old stomping grounds
Roe is enjoying the weather and sticking her head out the window 😊looks like a nice job you’ve on . Always enjoy your videos take care and keep up the good work .
Bondo, yes by all means keep us updated on the creek property!!
Ok sounds good. was there all day today. lol
🍻 heres to ALL the WIRE MESH TROLLS 🧌 for kicking the YT ALGORITHMS! 💯
Yup a wire comment is better than none. LOL
Looks good. convenient you were able to do both jobs side by side.
For sure 😄
Beautiful work, Mr. Bond and crew!!!
Good quick work today guys, nice looking mud
Great tool you made out of the comealong for the laser, saves steps, always handy, insures a more accurate job. Who knew watching concrete could be so entertaining. Shave the beard. Keep up the good work Bondo !
Thanks we try and make some tools that we need and I fix some that break.
Yes, keep us informed on your property. I like it!
ok will do. 😀
You guys do great work and your a good team,great videos,better then a lot of what else is out there,outstanding!
Love Your videos and content. I Miss you when you don't say Hmmmm. Live that. Makes you so real and southern-sounding. I am Down state NYer. The hated part of NY state. Hmmmmm
LOL HMMMMM
MAN'S BEST FRIEND. JUST NOTHING BUT LOVE. Great work sir, respect!
Thanks and yes they are mans best friend.
That creek property is the berries.. what a find that was. Please follow up on that.
YES I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD VIEWING TO SEE YOU DEVELOPE YOUR LAND /CHEERS TO YOU ALL
Ok thanks
4/14/24 yo Bondo, just saw yur 24' w x ...(?)42' L Pole Barn cc floor job....very nice! Potato Rake pulled up yur wire mesh for center-of-slurry positioning! Ahhh, That's what we are talking about! Beautiful finish! Love your channel, yur 'straight-up' manner of talk/commentary during activity. Am 78 yrs, healthy, very active, no Rx meds, VA says I am 👍💪..so am ready to do few more misc cc jobs (makeup 'hump' over power line sitting on sidewalk or other small projects. Absorb all your relevant info. Waiting for you on next activity. Stay safe & carry on!👍
Thanks James. I am glad you are enjoying the videos. 😃 No meds at 78 awesome buddy.
Glad to see gopher, was wondering if he was still with you. Your camp property looks awesome . Love the creek. By all means show some videos of progress. thanks Andy
Ok Andy thank you.
Great job as usual from the Bondo crew! I never got to thank you for the tip! 💵 - R.J (T-15)
RJ You are welcome. Good driver helps every time bud. 😊
I believe you about the wire. No shave!
Thanks. 😀
I wouldn’t leave a negative comment! And i agree with you on the wire mush, it is stronger on the bottom 1/3 of the slab! I was told the same thing many years ago
Thanks 😀
Watching you build your cabin would be cool. Thanks
Ok thanks.
You guys do a better job than that victory outdoor service guy pulling his wire
DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE HATERS, YOU ARE DOINING A GREAT JOB.
Thank you 😀
Absolutely video the progression of your property
Ok thanks
Nice place for a camp Bondo. Especially with that nice trout stream in your back yard. Weve had 2 camps in N C PA. I was 16 when we built the first one on a state land lease in the early 50s. About 4 years later they confiscated our camp and over 300 other camps and homes. Most were on state land leases, but many on private owned land also. Over 50.000 acres in total. Long story, but it is now known as the Quehanna Wilderness Area. In the early 70s we built a new camp on our own land. That camp is now over 50 years old. Lots of Elk in that region, also turkey, and good bear numbers. But not as many deer as in past years due to Coyotes. Lots of steep ridges, we set up and use large tripod mounted glasses to glass side hills, and shoot from ridge to ridge. Last fall the boys killed 4 buck. But at 89 i no longer participate.
Thanks Ernie. Thats a good story about your camp and thanks for sharing. I'll bet you have some awesome memories.
Yeah bro, pave the planet!
Hey Ron, absolutely do some videos on your property. It’d be fun to see the progression of what you’re doin over there.
Will do thanks.
Would love to see your progress on the camp land
Ok Jim 👍
Definitely to see you develop your new spot so I can live vicariously through you…..lol! Nice spot for sure.
Ok. LOL 😀
Don't shave it. The whole crew should be growing to the same length. Match the t-shirts. Biscuit is looking lighter. That's good, we want to see him around a long time.
If you put about 2-3” of straw down it’s way better than rock . We use about a 6-8 feet wide apron around the property it stops you from tracking mud all over the place and it’s a lot cheaper than rock
Looks great as always and it is the carburetor take it off, clean it make sure she’s all cleaned out the jets and everything put her back together and she’ll run like a brand new new one
Thanks it seems to run better now.
You get so much work done because you and the crew have so much fun! Shave Chris' beard and bury the whiskers under a number 4 slump on the next jobsite!
LOL thanks and that would be a funny video.
That looks really good and some land clearing would be interesting to see.
Ok thanks
We poured a 7 slump yesterday with wire mesh and it stays up just fine. We are just a 2-man crew here so we pour it loose and have a 12' chute we hang from the end of the rdy mix chute. A 5 slump wouldn't get all the way down those chutes without dragging it manually. You have a young crew that can handle those big barrows... Those things would kill us for sure. LOL.
LOL they are not as bad as they look. well just keep on getting it done the way you guys do it buddy. More than one way to get things done. 👍
I like how you use thumper after the ship steer. Here in Kansas around my place they think there tires or tracks do good enough. I disagree
No the tracks do not compact it enough.
Yeah keep the property videos coming. The Governor
If the wire is pulled up it stays up. More concrete that I have removed had wire that was not pulled up than had been. While the concrete was easier to remove, it was not as strong as it could have been had it been properly reinforced. If the substrate is good wire isn't really needed. Code has to cover situations where the substrate is not compacted well and is likely to settle. In that case wire mesh can make a big difference in the longevity of the slab. Since wire is reinforcement is required by code do the job properly. In many cases that means using chairs or a motivated crew who wants to do work as good as it can be done.
Would love to see more property photos
Ok sounds good.
Wire comment. You are the professional. Great work as always
Thanks 😀
On your cabin, considering using the local stone for a stone foundation.
I really like all your content but As an avid Sledder I’m really interested in your camp project! Keep it up.
Ok I will try and get footage for you guys.
Mutton chops. Creek property. To much fun! Looks good 👍
30:20 - I suspect Mr Bondo has misunderstood. The mash is there to minimize the cracks, so that they are restrained and you don't risk falling down in one of them one day. All mesh should be in the upper half or below upper 1/3 of the slab. Concrete professor Tyler Ley explains it all in his brilliant videos on slabs - see: Slab tips - Pt 1 - how to build driveways, patios, house slabs, and roads. Slab tips - Pt 2 - how to build driveways, patios, house slabs, and roads - reinforcing and slope Slab vol 3 - soil impact on slab on grade driveway patio and road
As always nice job, to bad you weren’t in Tennessee!
Thanks.
I would like to see your camp . The pad out front of the barn should be 15 or 20 feet from barn , if you wash a car on it , it needs to be long enough for the car or truck .
Heck lets concrete the entire driveway. 👍
Richland, funny you were 10 minutes from my house.
Where do you live?
Nice property.
Thanks.
Do a live video of the shaving. Would have to be friday night and include cold snacks and a fire.
LOL ok Wade.
And our family camp is just down the road in Florence, we just got back today. Small world. Maybe I'll run into you this summer up ther.
Cool I know where that is.
71 👍's up BB thank you for sharing 🤗
Thanks Scott
That's a strong beard for a young Man
It sure is.
The one guy emptied the wheelbarrow and it shot concrete splatter all over the brand new metal siding.
We try and not splatter The walls get insulated and you never see the inside of the metal but we still try and not do that.
Keep the beard. I have the same suspenders as big bisket. Same reason.
Ok thanks.
Nice work! That's how I do my wire pulling also. My question do you pour a pea stone mix with #4000 concrete or a 3"/4 limestone?
The stone are 1/2 to 5/8 we do a pea stone for core fill. our stone is not limestone in this concrete.
😂😂😂😂😂😂You crack me up!!!! Hmmmmm ( Here comes the MUD ) 😂😂😂😂😂 Keep being you. Ohhhhh, tell Big Biscuit great job on weight loss. I loss over 100lbs
Thats awesome you lost 100 lbs. thanks for the nice comment. 😀
Thanks for the video Bondo. Awesome and entertaining as usual. I have a question....I live in Sullivan County NY and i am trying to get a couple of those Brentwoods. Nobody around here sells them and they wont ship them due to their size. Where did you get them from ? Thanks buddy.
I got them at a place called Design Crete in Syracuse
Hey Bondo it's Sunday morning take the day off
What fun is that. LOL
You guys do nice work, how about getting my pole barn floor done?
You close to me?
@@bondobuilt386 Is Manlius close enough?
22:15 I was noticing how slim BB was looking these days way to go Little Biscuit!
Sure could have used your youtube channel 50 years ago when i was doing some of my first slabs. Thanks for sharing. Do you have UMM!!! Tee shirts?
LOL no shirts with the HMMM on them. YET LOL
Commerical work... engineers always wanna see chairs
Because they are not there to make sure the masons pull up the wire.
It a real sham in this day an age pouring a concret slab with out 1/2" pex in floor heating even if it not needed today. 1/2" is so dam cheap it worth putting in. Weather it needed now or down the road or next owner. You cant get longer lasting heat an the best heat an great floor drying.. at 28 cents a foot when you buy 300' rolls or 24 cents per foot in 1000' rolls. The most efecent heat going.. wire mesh is good but we also do 3/8 rebar in a 12' sqare.. no slab cutting as it one thing you dont want in a floor to snag everything you roll across. Also the 12' rebar great to tie the pex to every 12" in the loops
Anything needed between the back of the apron and the metal siding? Seems like it could trap water between the siding and concrete, and eventually rust.
Every channel has the Wire Police 🚔.
I know. it's crazy.
Shave it on live. And of course we want camp videos!
Ok lol
DRINKN LOT OF COFFE SON U BE WIRED RAMPED UP LOL meshers lov it, slump c-143 ASTM nearest 1/4 , make the 5/8 comment extra funny lol
LOL ok.
It’s like the old country and western song,something like as long as you have faith and the steel don’t rise
The creek don’t rise,stupid auto spell screws it all up
Hi Bondo, have you built any ICF pools?
Biscuits gotta wear suspenders since hes lost weight his pants dont fit lol
My pants never stay up even with a belt so I finally got a good pair of suspenders and I love them but I do need to get some pants that fit again now (big biscuit)
Have people been on you again about the wire mesh? We've had a dairy farm when I was young and even since then placed a lot of concrete without any reinforcement other than having fiber in it. Still no cracks. A lot of people don't know this but I know you do but, the wire doesn't have to be pulled up that much. The wire needs to be near the bottom anyway. That's were the stress of the force of compression starts therefore, it needs to be near the bottom. You and I know that. Maybe the wire mesh police will read this! Thanks!
Thanks Timothy we both know that buddy.
I'm wanting to have a pea gravel concrete house floor pour using the Coca-Cola to remove the top cream exposing the pea gravel before sealing and covering with tinted epoxy finish. What are your thoughts?????
Sounds awesome but I have never done it.
You should have an oval aluminium disk with "BONDO" engraved in it, placed in a corner
you real should pull up the wire lol 🤣
Mike Days concrete is like water
Ya he uses chemicals to pour it loose. Plastisizers or water reducers.
I watch some other youtubers who fix drainage issues for gutters and pour cement swales and partial driveways.The stuff the remove has no rebar and the cement they put down has no rebar. Of course maybe the procedure is different in their states. Other cement flooring guys I see like yourself use rebar.
Different areas have different obstacles and codes.
It's called a two legget skid steer
LOL
keep the beard
Thanks. 😀
Viva la concrete!
Watch your show a lot Also watch the grumpy farmer from New York State
Awesome thanks.
That biscuit's lost a lot of crumbs eh?
I know the wire mesh/rebar stays up a little... what gets me is the lack of an expansion joint. Maybe I missed something, but especially on that apron, it looks like you poured the concrete right up to the tin... encasing it, right? If he ever needs to replace a panel, how easy will it be to get that tin/steel out of the concrete? Ordinarily I see expansion joint used all along the perimeter and, yeah... between the apron and the steel/tin. Is there some reason you don't do that? Maybe it's a waste of money/time? I don't get it.
The metal is screwed to the bottom so it can never come out even with expansion. the expansion rots away and leaves a spot for water to get down in there. Ants tunnel up through it also. if a sheet of metal needs to be replaced you cut the old piece out with a zip wheel on a grinder and put a new piece on. We put expansion up against split face block wall because it needs some room to move but concrete will shrink a little and pull away when it dries.
Well, I don’t know if I did it right but I use that crush limestone and then 3 inches of sand on top of it and I put 9 inches of crushed limestone and concrete doing good five years later and I live in a blood zone
Sounds ok to me if you compacted it good.
Wire, if you don't pick it up you, leave it on the truck!
I like that one.
Is your boat float a piece of C channel steel
No we bought it and it is aluminum.
Keep the beard Chris!
To the wire watchers you need to go out and work for a concrete man . Or go mix mud or concrete for a brick layer and you might become a man . 😊
Ya for sure lol
Chris should take it down to a goatee for the summer at least.😂 Can’t believe you’re still dealing with the Wire Mesh Police?? They must pour with a 8 or greater slump and claim it’s 4000psi. 🙄🙄🙄
Thanks I will tell Chris that.
looks closer to a 4 9/16 th slump
LMAO maybe?
Fly ash makes concrete porous absorbs moisture that freezes. Correct me is i am wrong
If you use bench’s it holds it up that is the way I do it
Do you wheel like we do?
