I hope the bzz bzz is his buddy down below who was given some job like, āand you just clean up any little blobs of concrete that might sneak through.ā
Not for nothing he couldāve saved time realizing hes a dumbass if he didnt make that pointless grid ontop of his house of cards there lmao literally couldāve just outlined a square lol
Show his boss how good heās doing. Also unions will film work site for both safety and to fuck anyone who randomly places trash where itās not suppose to go.
My thoughts exactly and then I pondered āHow would one go about achieving this goalā for all of two minutes until I got distracted by someone knocking on the bathroom door.
My guess would be measure the hole youāre covering, build a frame out of 2x4 and plywood in which to pour the concrete, then pour the concrete literally anywhere other than directly over the existing hole.
These damn neighbors and their constant never ending so called pathetic excuse of construction noise canāt just let me get a decent nights sleep Iām getting sick of this shit man, time to call some enforcers š that should show āem never to mess with my precious sleep ever again š¤£
Well clearly yeah, but Iām wondering what it would be. Like 5mm ply or something? Clearly itās not osb or anything that could hold weight, which is why Iām asking. I mean it looks like plasterboard for how it falls down but thereās no wayā¦ youāre tying rebar, so this aināt diy-tardā¦
Sheetrock was a word I was looking for, the heavy AF grey board. But you gotta be a complete moron to pour on that. Like is this a labourer (Iām a labourer in summer, Iām new to construction and only been doing it less than 12 months)? It canāt be cud youād have a boss not let you do shit or be there for it.
Landings halfway up are not necessary if the form work is up to code. Depending on the weight the plywood might snap, but again that would be faulty form work. Using multiple sheets/ supporting it with 2 by 4s would work just fine in this video. The past week Iāve been filling holes we core drilled in the roadway (6 inch diameter, 7-8 inches deep). Ive had someone hand me a little plywood square from underneath, then I use tie wire we put into the plywood to tie it to some rebar, does the job perfectly.
Of all the hairbrained ideas, I knew it was going to happen when I saw him tying the rebar and I just couldn't get my head around the fact that he kept going with that is his underlayment. Wow
The inability to see any semblance of reason in the opposing side? The inability to not link politics to every other facet of life? The insults while doing so? Have to disagree
I miss the face, that tells details of the story, the posture was a good interlude of die inside. But the story was too long for the result (posture instead of face)
When someone says,I know someone cheaper, theyāre not just comparing prices,theyāre revealing what they value,Cheaper means,less experience,less attention to detail,less reliability, less heart in the work.
This is not true in such a large quantity of situations that itās seldom useful as advice.
I broke the screen on my phone, took it to the Apple Store and got told it was basically impossible to fix, but when I took it to the ācheaper optionā suddenly it was doable.
I have a cheaper charging mechanic that I always go to because heās reliable and efficient and Iāve been up charged by more expensive competitors before
Not in construction. but if all I had was a thin sheet, I'd create another metal frame and place that thin board over it. Repeat everything the same until pouring that second bucket of concrete.
wait for the first layer to dry up before finishing that second load of concrete.
Dumbass never realised how heavy concrete is. Should have used something way stronger as the base to hold up. Having the edge resting it one inch each side on-top of the block wall is asking for trouble.
Maybe drill into the pre-existing structure to create a brace. Also no bar chairs to hold up the steel, great way to get concrete cancer.
I was very confused by every decision he made. I'm not in construction, but come on! This is the age of the internet; look up how to do a thing you clearly haven't done before!
That moment where you're standing there unmoving, like time might go "just kidding" and rewind if you don't accept the new state of things too quickly.
crazy part to me is, he looks, posture wise, legitimate disappointment it fell through.
like, dude....what?š¤£š
Think about it... The weight of all those heavy buckets you're lugging around... Being fully supported by this thin board... Come on...
Text came in " you fucked up badly"
Quick dry not insta dry lol
Feel sick moment no bottom braces or prop
forms hold until they dont...he almost had it
Well yeah, cement is heavy, even in its mixed liquid form, that's something you learn very quickly if you've ever worked in construction.
Wheelbarrel full of cement really tells you what youāre made of
Itās much heavier in liquid form
Oh yes, I know, I worked in one myself, tho I never put thin wood under a hole with mixed cement, that is a new one for me. Lol
Yeah like what did u expect
You can always try out for being a pharaoh.Ā
I like his confidence in the beginning š¤£š¤£
What is a kick out support for? oohhh. Its my first day.....
Gotta crack a few fireplaces to make a fireplaceā¦
You can literally see it bowing befire he even pours it
yeah whatever weight u think concrete is? yeah its alwas a bit heavier
And then you add the water.
Itās not concrete without the water; Itās concrete mix.
bzz bzz "You fu*ked up" š
That was my same thought.
I hope the bzz bzz is his buddy down below who was given some job like, āand you just clean up any little blobs of concrete that might sneak through.ā
Ooops
r/oops
Why does this subreddit have the comments at new? Itās irritating. I die inside every time I have to switch the comment format
s/o to you i always wondered why the comments always had no likes haha
The white plate was bending under its own weight. Better put some concrete on it.
oh poor Knuckles š
Not for nothing he couldāve saved time realizing hes a dumbass if he didnt make that pointless grid ontop of his house of cards there lmao literally couldāve just outlined a square lol
Isnāt that to make the concrete reinforced so it doesnāt corrode as easily in the rain etc
Yep, rebar. Without the "pointless grid" that slab would have broken in the middle at some point, just didn't make it long enough to matter this time
Makes you wonder what else they cheated out on.
Why was this being filmed ?
Show his boss how good heās doing. Also unions will film work site for both safety and to fuck anyone who randomly places trash where itās not suppose to go.
It's probably the home owner texting from inside the house asking why there's concrete over his sofa
I have absolutely no knowledge of how to do that properly but from the beginning I knew that could not possibly be the right way.
My thoughts exactly and then I pondered āHow would one go about achieving this goalā for all of two minutes until I got distracted by someone knocking on the bathroom door.
My guess would be measure the hole youāre covering, build a frame out of 2x4 and plywood in which to pour the concrete, then pour the concrete literally anywhere other than directly over the existing hole.
I've run into people who know this guy. He's the friend who can do it cheaper.
And itās never cheaper in the long run.
Even his mobile phone laughed at him
Bruh. Ahhahahaha hilarious comment. Hahahahaha
Lol rip, dude's definitely rethinkin' his life choices rn.
I like the care and dedication just not the execution of this home project.
What did he think was going to happen?
passion matters
Saw that coming a mile away lol
Yepā¦. Not great execution
The hand on the hipā¦ a universal āwell, fuck meā¦ā
Every masterpiece starts with a misstep,this one just started with a single sheet
He paused for so long to ponder his life, that I thought the video froze
These damn neighbors and their constant never ending so called pathetic excuse of construction noise canāt just let me get a decent nights sleep Iām getting sick of this shit man, time to call some enforcers š that should show āem never to mess with my precious sleep ever again š¤£
No idea why this popped up on my feed but as someone who has no idea how to do this stuff, what would be the proper way to pour that?
Plywood or some other kind of sturdier form work underneath. Source: Iām a concrete worker
And what would happen next, would the worker need to go down and scoop it all up?
Pretty much, easiest to do before it dries. Scoop up the majority then use water/ a rag to clean up the excess slurry
Yeah what is the board heās pouring on?
Canāt tell in the video but the way heās doing it is definitely not suitable form work
Well clearly yeah, but Iām wondering what it would be. Like 5mm ply or something? Clearly itās not osb or anything that could hold weight, which is why Iām asking. I mean it looks like plasterboard for how it falls down but thereās no wayā¦ youāre tying rebar, so this aināt diy-tardā¦
Could be plasterboard/ Sheetrock by how it crumbled. I honestly canāt tell what it is from this short clip
Sheetrock was a word I was looking for, the heavy AF grey board. But you gotta be a complete moron to pour on that. Like is this a labourer (Iām a labourer in summer, Iām new to construction and only been doing it less than 12 months)? It canāt be cud youād have a boss not let you do shit or be there for it.
Must be some home wannabe right
Definitely scab work, and they cheaped out/ got lazy for the form work. Iām also a first year laborer, local 731šŖ started back in February
And the weight of the concrete wouldn't cause that to ever snap?
Part two of this question; with what looks to be a pretty significant opening below is there any reason not to have done another landing halfway up?
Landings halfway up are not necessary if the form work is up to code. Depending on the weight the plywood might snap, but again that would be faulty form work. Using multiple sheets/ supporting it with 2 by 4s would work just fine in this video. The past week Iāve been filling holes we core drilled in the roadway (6 inch diameter, 7-8 inches deep). Ive had someone hand me a little plywood square from underneath, then I use tie wire we put into the plywood to tie it to some rebar, does the job perfectly.
Thanks for explaining it all out, appreciate it
Anytime, Iām a laborer for local 731 and concrete work is by far my favorite thing to do.
As someone who also has no idea how to do this stuff, I think pouring on top of two unconnected, unsecured flat boards was the problem.
bzztt
āWhat the fuck was that noise just now..?ā
I made this comment and now I canāt even figure out what I was referring to or why this has so many upvotes?
Was I talking about the buzzing you hear at the end of the video?
Who am I quoting?
So many questions..
āJust chill tf out, Marguerite!ā
Probably should have used two layers of cardboard
Or put the metal grid under the cardboard.
If not then, it would have been when someone stepped on it
Why is there wood covering that hole? I came late to the conversation I may have missed something
Because he's a genius.
He's thinking in ways that I just can't fathom!
That wasnāt wood, it was more like paper, to hold up wet concreteā¦.
Looked like it might have been a piece of drywall.
Of all the hairbrained ideas, I knew it was going to happen when I saw him tying the rebar and I just couldn't get my head around the fact that he kept going with that is his underlayment. Wow
What an idiotĀ
Need the Willem Defoe meme
Some random painter belowā¦
Oopsy
I know it was going to happen. Another Donald Trump vote a lunatic conservative.
Could have worked on any other post š„
Wrong post buddy.
Right post buddy hackett
What the fuck does this have to do with American politics
This guy is an idiot. That's the link.
This sort of rhetoric is what is destroying the American political sphere
No it isn't.
The inability to see any semblance of reason in the opposing side? The inability to not link politics to every other facet of life? The insults while doing so? Have to disagree
Who could have possibly seen that coming
[removed]
Quick! I gotta make this post about how I hate immigrants!!
what did they say??
You bet that message was the boss asking if the job was done.
I miss the face, that tells details of the story, the posture was a good interlude of die inside. But the story was too long for the result (posture instead of face)
That vibration at the end was the universe telling him he fucked up so loud even god heard it.
I love the āwell shitā look at the end
I like to think that vibration was his boss on the first floor asking him what the fuck just happened
Too long
forgot to use the high tensile slush
The amount of fury I would contain both as the one laying the concrete and the one who got splattered with it down underneath. Eesh man.
Ha Ha šš
There he was trying to make some Eaaaaaassssssssy Mooooney
This is what happens when you lie on your resume.
Based on this video it appears it is indeed his career of choiceā¦
LOL
Who could've possibly predicted that an unsupported platform wouldn't be able to support that much weight?
#FirstDayWeCanTell
What did he use under the reinforcement? Looked like a mat. How could had have believed that would hold all the weight?
When someone says,I know someone cheaper, theyāre not just comparing prices,theyāre revealing what they value,Cheaper means,less experience,less attention to detail,less reliability, less heart in the work.
So you would change to a more expensive option if available?
This is not true in such a large quantity of situations that itās seldom useful as advice.
I broke the screen on my phone, took it to the Apple Store and got told it was basically impossible to fix, but when I took it to the ācheaper optionā suddenly it was doable.
I have a cheaper charging mechanic that I always go to because heās reliable and efficient and Iāve been up charged by more expensive competitors before
Did you take that comment from LinkedIn?
Not at all,If something i wrote reminded you of a LinkedIn thatās a fun coincidence
that vibration was personal
It was the phones house so yeah it was pretty pissed!
"Is too much. No good operator."
Building something that'll collapse over a pit is peak Looney Tunes antics.
Was that cardboard?
His boss probably had a mental breakdown for hiring such a tool
Surprised that thin sheet couldnt hold up all that concrete.
So what's the correct way to cast this slab then?
A solid piece of plywood, not what looks like a couple lunch trays
They use corrugated metal sheets to do garage over basement
Probably a piece of roof decking anchored down, then framed out and poured concrete
Not in construction. but if all I had was a thin sheet, I'd create another metal frame and place that thin board over it. Repeat everything the same until pouring that second bucket of concrete. wait for the first layer to dry up before finishing that second load of concrete.
Usually you cast it separately and then move it over and seal it
Dumbass never realised how heavy concrete is. Should have used something way stronger as the base to hold up. Having the edge resting it one inch each side on-top of the block wall is asking for trouble. Maybe drill into the pre-existing structure to create a brace.

*Puts hand on hip, face blank*
"Well that's gonna cost me some overtime"
Thanks for FFW for us, if that was me, Iād make everyone watch it at normal speed.
I always have my volume turned off when Iām cruising online. So I donāt know if there was any audio on the clip.
I mention this because as soon as it collapsed, all I could hear was the ending theme to Curb Your Enthusiasm.
That moment where you're standing there unmoving, like time might go "just kidding" and rewind if you don't accept the new state of things too quickly.
It's the vibration for me
He was recording with his phone, that was a text message vibration. Probably someone below saying WTF!
There is nothing more universal than that pause to witness and process.
and to reconsider your life choices
Saw the problem the second he put the support bars on top lol
āSupport barsā? Thatās reinforcement for the concrete, they āsupportā nothing until the concrete cures.
Yet they would have prevented this situation in he laid two beneath that slab.
Thats where they have to go for the concrete. But he obviously also shouldve supporte it from the bottom
Yeah, that or built it up in thinner layers so it had time to set and give strength to the structure.
Lmao the mental processing after š probably would have been fine if given time to harden, rush job ends up taking twice as long
Me every time he poured another heavy bucket: "Alright that's good" "That's good" "Alright" "That's GOOD" "IT'S ENOUGH BUCKETS"
As we eat our popcorn all screaming at the screens in unison.
Maybe he was trying to build a single-use cement shower.
It's a water feature
why does he even does that ? put a windows on it
What if he prefers Linux?
CementOS
What even? Take my upvote and get help
Well that was entirely predictable.Ā
IKR? I said out loud āthatās not gonna holdā and I know nothing of construction but Iām working on my common sense certification
Probably what was gotten for him. That stance at the end looked more like a "i told him it would not hold" more than a "why?" Stance.
You might know someone cheaper.But cheaper doesnāt always mean better,it just means different priorities
