Join the concrete crew as we rip out a driveway that we just poured a couple of years ago. This was not an easy thing to do but was the right thing to do. Enjoy

Never see Ray so happy seeing the food
I know it's your reputation and it's a big job but it takes a big man to admit there was a mistake made
To much certain types of salt sitting on the concrete to long can damage the surface
Ray always has the biggest plate but does the least work
ironically i just watched a video where you mention to the building inspector you havent had anything fail in over 20 years and you wanted to bet him the patio you were about to pour wouldnt fail. love the vids tho and your work ethic is inspiring
Rays such a shovelhead, smart as a bag of hammers
Ok fine, take it out and re– do it. What caused the scaling problem?
I remember that when the guy said you guys knocked down his mailbox 📫
where is the rebar at? The concrete you have to tare out doesn't even have steel in it. Come on Man ! ! !! I have never seen that before. What the guy couldn't afford the rebar?
23:32 I see leaf bugs all the time here 😊. Pretty cool looking bug for sure
I remember the video
I'm looking for a job I'm homeless
Pos
Now that i think about it ive never seen stamped scale probably has to do with smashing the aggregate down
I feel for you
That is true katydid
Jesus christ man. This is a nightmare.
Bro gonna break that breaker keep using it to pry…lol
Good on you, for standing behind your work. Even when its not your fault.
Never trust the homeowner!
Poured 165 yard driveway up a hill and around a new large home. Customer guaranteed that all the dirt work had been compacted.
Called me a year later and wanted me to replace the front 20 yards that had settled over a foot.
Just pressure wash the whole thing, roll on some pure Portland (could even add so fine silica sand) and seal it with sodium silicate, they’d be happy enough
Imagine a guy pulls up on the job site and he’s got “easy money” plastered all over his trucks… then he try’s to make a profit on the job, but the customer is thinking cmon man, look you even said it yourself, “easy money”
Yea, I’m not gonna wanna give you any extra money, I’m probably gonna lowball ya and bust your chops about it lol 😂
I bet you wouldn’t worry about it so much if you were really making easy money!
You need to be charging the customer rental cost per hour on your equipment plus a premium just like every contractor without their own equipment would have to do!
It's a Stinkbug
100% Homeowner's fault salting the driveway.
I assume it was the finishers fault, it got away from them so they started throwing water on it to get some creme. Creating a weak delaminated surface.
😂 Big Ray shouldn't be allowed to tease for rain. Ryan looked like he was about to hear from BR-"Don't worry about it…. I just drove through someone's entire house and the truck is in the dudes pool." 😆 With BR it's always something! Love it.
The disposal could have ate that alone
Hey man, I know this is an old video, but I’m current on everything from here to today; (5/7/25) I really don’t know every detail, but your videos just play out your real life in small segments. I’m not a professional excavator, just an amateur with a mini, but this is company/farm you’ve dealt with hasn’t seemed worth the money. They take time and ask favors of you. I’m not saying I’m right. I’m just saying your snippets of your life make them look like garbage
Ima new business owner
I just couldn’t eat that I guess after being in business in for years you do those things !! Great job man keep it up love the attitude it’s amazing it really is
The framing on the new building. It's crazy to see bare bones knowing it's a beautiful building now.
Big green bug was a katydid.
23:23 we call those Katydids or Bush Crickets
Cant you just look at old video to figure out where the pipes go?
Check out f9 products. Can save your team some headaches in certain situations.
Salt damage
The music…am I watching Game of Thrones or a construction video ? LOL
Id be afraid of what u might find in concrete that thick. U might find hoffa under all that lol 😂
none of the same crew from a year ago, what happened you work them too hard for too little pay?
Couldn’t you just resurface (grind) it rather than rip it all out?
epic lunch.
" I don't have anything to complain about" 😂😂 I be same way I like everything how it should be done
Your bug was a Katydid. Google it and learn something.
