We bull floated and finished all the...

In this video we poured a concrete pad to lay flagstone on top. It was super cold and we couldn't get the truck down there. So Ben rented a concrete buggy and we had to transfer it all the way down the hill. We started placing it and I just made sure to mag behind the screed to fill in the holes. We got all of it down except a little spot and ran out of concrete. We had to get another truck to ...

Last thing I teach is how and why you do double bolts every 12-16 feet for the ...

1,100 Sq. Ft. Flagstone Patio
Просмотров 6435 месяцев назад
In this video I put together a 1,100 sq ft flagstone patio. First I laid retaining walls and covered them with stone veneer. Then I started laying the flagstone. The stones were imperfect and a random pattern so it took quite a long time to cut and lay each stone. Once I finished laying all the stone I grouted the joints with mortar and cleaned the job site. Thanks for watching!!!

Pouring Concrete down the whole street
This is harder than it looks. A real pain in the ass and in the forearm 😂😂
Can you put stone up without the wire mesh on top of cement board?
How deep do you drill the rebar holes?
Rebar should be installed in the footer, not drilled in later. The strength of drilled in does not compare.
I see your footer extends a little bit outside of the home at 10:30. I believe my garage's footer is what I dug down to, I'm creating a trench. Is it ok to break up that part of the footer, even a little bit, or is this going to potentially damage the foundation of the garage or the footer under the garage?
Need a job?
Nice job old men he he
Could you replace a wood wall by a block or brick wall?
Hi Mason, where are you located?
It's not a string. It's a mason's line!! Strings are for flying kites!!!
What if it’s in inches and not in feet? For the perimeter?
Awesome. Thanks for the video. What type of mortar do you use to grout with?
why not just pour a foundation?
How about being a real Mason and picking the block up and buttering it in your hand you would last 3 minutes on a real job buttering blocks like that
Rebar
What size was the patio
Very helpful and simple Thanks homes! 🫡
😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉
Why would that job build forms and pour a concrete foundation? Faster and easier
I think you should have a competition to win a stone chimney snd make me the winner 😂😂 love to watch your videos, im a nurse with no masonry skills 🤪 this is exactly what i want my chimney to look like. Very pretty.
What kind of nails should I use in my 22 nail gun? Im putting the lathe on painted concrete block wall.
Wow! tremendo!! super easy, the way you explained. Gracias!
I’m Getting ready to add a row of block to an existing wall, First time , I just drilled the holes and epoxy the rebar dowels , tomorrow, I’m gonna use your technique applying mortar
Nice to see a younger guys in the trade.
Were doing ours… couplings dont fit together.
I live on a property with lots of sandstone on it. I've been putting the sandstone on our foundation using a white grout for contrast. Doesn't look to bad. I like your video's.
When you go over it with the teeth. Should you see the lath under it??
God blest you
hey men you are the best in the world
Hey mason, do you grout stone at the base when it’s laid on trex decking or do you keep an expansion joint down there?
Great video. Do you have a brand preference for fkoat and pole?
Thank you! I'm a 60 yo grandma learning so I can improve my housing!
Tricks of the Trade built our world.
R u from Springfield Illinois?
Where is the video of you saw cutting it next day. Who would put only One tooled joint in an entire deck?
How hot does it get with the sun?
Swirls look clean man! Good job.
I am getting ready to do a job with a rock wall but i dont what to bid it for
I find doing step 2 before 1 more beneficial as step 2 can knock off the level of step 1. I like to make sure my block has a level face 1st which is step 2 in the video.
The spears go through the form precisely above the liner track. To squeeze the Styrofoam tight against track. Not 2 inches above it
You are doing this shit allll wrong. Spears in the wrong location. Your packing tape was crinkled up because you had it on the wrong side of the form. The duct tape is completely unnecessary if you place the spears through in the proper location.
Thank you for sharing your skill. Would you mind telling me what style of stone it is and manufacturer? I can't seem to find that match around here. thank you.
I don't think that I would ever have the patience to do as good of a job as you are doing. Excellent video. I need to put a new back wall in a barn on my place, and I think that a block wall would be perfect for the application, but I doubt that I could do it on my own
Nice! Helpful video! 👍👍
A good teacher never uses the phrase "you'll figure it out as you go" during an instructional demonstration. Your task is to remove the "figure it out" factor from the job...
How to calculate 15x30 house
How much should this cost per sq ft roughly?
If your plan calls for core filled walls, but you have used cap block where needed, how do you fill those cavities under the cap block? Do they just not get filled? Thanks!
