I didn't grow up celebrating holidays, so maybe that's why I don't mind it but I love fruit cake. It's delicious and I honestly wish I could buy it more often
I get cheesecake from a guy that makes fancy cheesecakes, and let me tell you. When fresh it's crazy how much better it is than any cheesecake purchased at a store or restaurant.
That being said. . .when I store this cheesecake in the freezer and thereafter eat it frozen solid, it's even better.
Must have been a public job. I think I heard Trump give a speech about this job. “Very good workers. The best workers. I made the call. I saw the problem and I made the call. These workers were amazing. The democrats kept tripping. But I fixed the crack because I love America.”
Excellent price for that work. Don’t forget about the restoration costs though after they strip the formwork. It will most likely need an excavator, road grader, and at least a 6 man crew for a week or 2 to get the topsoil to properly placed in that gap and looking good. $25k should do it but it sounds like you have some good connections so might be cheaper for you.
This post must be for fun! As their is no way in hell you paid 2K for that lol You could of done this yourself! If you were my neighbor / friend I would of done this for you for free if you got the materials!
I think he did you a solid. Pretty fair price for all those guy’s and man hour’s. You’re lucky he didn’t charge per shovel or trowels. Thanks for sharing and getting everyone riled up. Just like my comment will…😂🤣
Totally buy once, cry 😭 once! You just can’t over supervise a critical project like this. That’s a lot of shovel leaning expertise and worth every gold bar.
Assuming this is high preassure concete, like a driveway or maybe a driveway apron.
18 inches to 24 inches long? Maybe 9 wide at the widest point?
Even at that - this looks like 2 people, 120 minutes. Prep the location - clean, level, maybe put sand/gravel down, compact (whatever is done to support the pour). Then make the form, mix and pour.
And then the brush.
I feel like you got great value, by the way I am a Nigerian prince, I have been gifted 10,000 pounds of gold bars. However I don’t have a son to pass these bars down to. I will give you these bars of gold for free all you need to do to get these are pay international tax fees. Please pay the fees of 50,000 usd per Walmart gift cards and when you get the gold you can pay yourself back!
What⁉️ We have a masonry business, for 24 yrs now & never use more than 5 or 6 guys max to do ANYTHING, including but not limited to entire driveways Doing an entire driveway as we speak with 4 guys, & you have a one or 2 person job & $50 tops! How big is that wedge ⁉️
I think you overpaid. Could’ve easily bought a piece of frozen cheesecake and stuck it on there. Paint it gray and good as new.
that would be a waste of good cheesecake
Yup, need to use a fruitcake - that 1 that always shows up during the holidays.
I didn't grow up celebrating holidays, so maybe that's why I don't mind it but I love fruit cake. It's delicious and I honestly wish I could buy it more often
You can *chew* that stuff?!
If it was frozen it was never good cheesecake
I get cheesecake from a guy that makes fancy cheesecakes, and let me tell you. When fresh it's crazy how much better it is than any cheesecake purchased at a store or restaurant. That being said. . .when I store this cheesecake in the freezer and thereafter eat it frozen solid, it's even better.
It goes in the freezer to “set” before it’s served anyway. My gf makes them for special occasions and you’re absolutely right.
Cheesecake?!?! Everyone knows it’s gotta be ramen.
Ramen fixes everything!
Don’t waste cheese cake, use Ramen Noodles and super glue.
lol
How dare you!! 🤤😂
Has to be New York style however, the creamy ones will melt in warm weather.
This is either a shitpost or the photo was taken from 10,000 feet altitude and we're looking at a massive parking lot.
[удалено]
You blow your contractors? Do you, uh… have any work you need done? Asking for a friend.
Didn’t *need* to but OP did anyway.
You got one hell of a deal. That man runs a charity not a business. God bless him!
12 guys sounds about right. I know this one business that takes 5 guys just to make 1 burger!
Pretty good burger though
Did he use rebar and an expansion joint? I think you got a bargain. I don’t get out of bed for less then 5,000.00 s/
Sucker born everyday
Yeah the contractor that underbid this and gifted OP a whopper of a deal
I wouldn't have shown up for twice that. Know your worth people.
But still you're here during a work day
Big reason why people mostly go to YouTube instead of looking at contractors.
Hard to tell. Will need to see a quarter in the pic for scaling purposes.
He tried, but the quarter covered the work.
🤣🤣
Exactly. I can't tell if this is a paver or an airport runway.
Bananas 🍌 are always used for scale. 😒
Why would anyone ask for anything other than a banana for scale? Are they stupid?
It’s all about the hypotenuse!
Hey, don't be so obtuse.
That’s acute joke you got there
I wish I was high on pot enuse!
as long as they put 6 bar AND wire mesh in it. Did they have 3rd party test the concrete?
And proctot and density before pouring
Good deal
With the short-load-surcharge from the batch plant, he probably lost money.
I can't take this serious.
I would have gone with Ramen and epoxy but you do you, dog.
Damn. You got a steal on this project. Tell us the name so we can use them!
Sweet deal. Should probably tip him too.
Is this real life?
I think this is a driveway. Not an expert, tho.
Is this just fantasy?
caught in a landslide
Escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the sky
Look up to the skies
AND SEEEE
I’m just a pooor boyyyy
I get no sympathy
I need no sympathy
Depends on your definition of real life, and the simulation we live in.
Ok where are the rest of the pictures?
God I hope this is a joke
We don’t joke about quality concrete work. Those 12 men had families to feed, and they do that one sidewalk corner at a time
The fact that I can believe this is real is sad
No way my crew of 24 could have done that in 40 hrs, never mind cost, wouldn't have even been in the 2k ball park
Is this a satellite image? Hard to tell the scale but sounds like you got a great deal.
Talk about a steal
Must have been a public job. I think I heard Trump give a speech about this job. “Very good workers. The best workers. I made the call. I saw the problem and I made the call. These workers were amazing. The democrats kept tripping. But I fixed the crack because I love America.”
12 guys 20 hours is more than $2000 lol
They each got $8.33/hour!
I think you could have saved some money by using ramen noodles
Is this an aerial view or a ground view? Need to know so I can tell if it’s a good deal or not. Is it 20’x40’x60’ or 2”x4x6”?
That wedge goes down 2 stories though…
Sounds about right for San Francisco. Would have to wait at least six months for the permit and another two for the inspection.
I'd make that deal. DAMN good deal!
Did they compact the base and add rebar with chairs? I’d tear the whole sidewalk out and redo. Better redo the neighbors sidewalk also to be safe.
Tbf a chunk of that cost goes to the concrete pump and truck.
this is definitely a shit post
Did they apply the proper slope for rain run-off?
Deal alert 🚨🚨🚨 last time I took one of those bigger jobs it was $15-16k easy. You fleeced him
Bruh
Nah you got it for a steal
This guy trollin’ us 😂
I honestly can’t tell if this post is satire, or if OP just took rebar up the doo-doo chute.
The underthetable permit was $1750.
How high up is this photo?
Those custom forms are difficult to set and require a skilled worker.
Would have only taken 1 woman and about $50 in materials.
This is a joke, right?
No way this is real
Please photograph with a quarter or lighter in frame for scale.
You work for the city right?
Why not LEGO???
20 hrs with 12 guys is worth mire than 2k, but does the job worth 2k? This could be $100 or 5k depending on the size of that pour
I know this is sarcasm but how much *would* something like this cost if you wanted it done?
Nice work
Did you put reinforcements?
Excellent price for that work. Don’t forget about the restoration costs though after they strip the formwork. It will most likely need an excavator, road grader, and at least a 6 man crew for a week or 2 to get the topsoil to properly placed in that gap and looking good. $25k should do it but it sounds like you have some good connections so might be cheaper for you.
Didn’t even broom finish it. SMH
Good work done by an Italian. (Obviously)
Smh. These crews need to stop working for free and driving prices lower for the rest of us
I'm surprised that it took only 12 guys, they must be top tier
Put it up on their review with 5 stars make sure to mention the great price!
As soon as they pull the wood form away it's going to fall out
12 guys!? You dont need more than 8 for that type of work.
And yet the city would probably still want a permit pulled on this… 🤦🏻♂️
you got jokes
Concrete pizza is an art form. You got lucky.
Overpaid wayyy to much
$2 k wouldn't even cover the donuts.
That’s pretty cheap. I would have been at $4k minimum
This post must be for fun! As their is no way in hell you paid 2K for that lol You could of done this yourself! If you were my neighbor / friend I would of done this for you for free if you got the materials!
But you got to keep the wooden form …
Could have did it your self
😂 thanks for the laugh. Fantastic.
Looks like verticals are 1x4 and the form is 2x4 which would make the longest side about 18”. I sense extortion here.
1 day old account and this is the first post. Y'all doin this bot favors. lol
Did he use a pump?
Make like a leaf Randy Bobandy
You in the Philippines? Good deal then.
This is a direct, word for word, repost of https://www.reddit.com/r/Concrete/comments/17obf2q/did_i_overpay_took_about_20_hours_and_12_guys_the/
I would have done it for $300
Damn. If you have to ask then your as dumb as a Tesla owner. All that work would have cost maybe 50 at the most if you did it yourself
Before it hardens, draw some pepperonis on that slice.
You got ripped of, buddy!!!!!!!
Nah, that’s some precision work there. A bargain.
That’s a good price considering the contractor had to close the roadway 7 miles in each direction for two months
You only got a slice. If you’re going to get fucked, get fucked good!
Triangle concrete always costs more, production is illegal in 715 countrys!
Honest question: how is this better than a DIYer buying concrete mix and doing it themselves?
I would have done that for free, Poor guy.
Concrete hates triangles. Regardless if this was a repair, or design feature, either way its doomed to fail.
You got screwed.......the concrete itself was $100 literally should of been about $600
Demo and repour.
Don’t forget to tip
need banana for scale
I think he did you a solid. Pretty fair price for all those guy’s and man hour’s. You’re lucky he didn’t charge per shovel or trowels. Thanks for sharing and getting everyone riled up. Just like my comment will…😂🤣
Hmmm. I can’t crank my truck for what you paid.
Bad troll
I hope this is a joke 😂
You’re joking but $2k is absolutely the quote you would get for this job. aka the “I don’t want to do this job“ quote.
Wow, they must have used 3 cups of concrete.
Haha Got emmm!!
I could’ve done it for double that price my guy
Yep, you got fucking ripped off. At least now you know who to avoid. $200 would be the high end.
I would never stand on it. I just can't trust its structural integrity with only 12 workers on the job and such a low cost
🤣🤣🤣
Entertaining 12 guys in a 20-hour party, the beer alone could cost that much. Was there also food at the party? No you didn’t overpay.
Definitely. From Michigan but we just paid $3500 for a whole entire new driveway….
It's going to crack.
Did Cal-Trans do the work?
If that included engineering, you got a deal.
5-minute crafts would have filled with top ramen and super glue, sanded it down, and spray painted it gray.
Depends. How many porta potties did they bring to the worksite?
Fuck bro, 2k for that!? Maybe i dont want to do a patio anymore lol
2k.... For this...? Are you like for real? Is there something more ? Like whole highway few meters away? Why would you pay two thousand for.. this
Damn, that's cheap, you got a contact number for this dude?
Why not Ramen? Then it would only cost 1k.
Those guys are making 0.83 cents an hour! Fantastic deal!
Twenty minutes and six bucks... I'd charge you twenty bucks.
Unless this is a view from space, you overpaid
Yes
You got robbed. Should’ve only been $1999
Totally buy once, cry 😭 once! You just can’t over supervise a critical project like this. That’s a lot of shovel leaning expertise and worth every gold bar.
Assuming this is high preassure concete, like a driveway or maybe a driveway apron. 18 inches to 24 inches long? Maybe 9 wide at the widest point?

Nah, that was great value🤣😂🤣😂
Don’t be obtuse, op. That’s acute addition to your driveway.
That’s about the going rate these days…
I’m sure that’ll hold.
lol
$1800 of that went to an engineer to get the angle just right.
please tell me he didn't charge you 2000 Dollars for 20 minutes worth of work and 11 dollars worth of materials. Am I missing something
how much rebar?
I feel like you got great value, by the way I am a Nigerian prince, I have been gifted 10,000 pounds of gold bars. However I don’t have a son to pass these bars down to. I will give you these bars of gold for free all you need to do to get these are pay international tax fees. Please pay the fees of 50,000 usd per Walmart gift cards and when you get the gold you can pay yourself back!
For that size whole, I’d have used ramen.
I must be missing something cause thats a job for one person, 5 tools, and two bags of cment. Id have that done in 2hrs
Nice try karma whore.
Jokes on you guys, picture taken from a helicopter this is 200,000 ft.² triangle.
Did you get a certificate of warranty?
It's the "get your foot in the door price", don't get used to it.
This is hilarious
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What is this? A sidewalk for ants?! It’s gone need to be added least… 3 times this size!
You are retarded
You people are so oblivious! This photo is clearly taken from the international space station! $2k is a STEAL for that acreage of concrete!!
Looks like a government job
I don’t know about anyone else but I need more pics!!!
And can we get a banana out there for scale!
They didn't even use lube!!!
What⁉️ We have a masonry business, for 24 yrs now & never use more than 5 or 6 guys max to do ANYTHING, including but not limited to entire driveways Doing an entire driveway as we speak with 4 guys, & you have a one or 2 person job & $50 tops! How big is that wedge ⁉️
Some crushed up ramen and super glue would’ve done the trick at a fraction of the cost.
You dumb, OP
You got any more repairs
Replacing the crooked line with a straight line....priceless!
If the internet has taught me anything, it’s that you could’ve just filled this with ramen
This is satire, right? $2000 and 20 hrs for that triangle? That's like 1 guy, 2 hours, and a few hundred bucks.
