I've done quite a few Johnny poppers definitely an enjoyable experience doesnt seem like people have been doing alot of restoring on classic tractors lately we've all learned it's nearly impossible to not end up upside down on em monetarily speaking

I was a carpenter for 33 years so I’ve had my share of concrete work. I was told that concrete has 2 guarantees, it’s gonna crack and nobody will steal it!

Concrete never needs mowing. I love concrete!!!

In 1960 my uncle drove his first brand-new tractor, a John Deere, home from the dealer in town. 50 years later, on his 80th birthday, my cousin presented him with that same tractor, fully restored. Do the tractor, it's a thing of beauty.

Gotta say, been living in the south for over 50 years and when a slab is put in, wire mesh is used and if the slab is going to hold vehicles, rebar is used.

Contractor who stands behind his work and makes it right, you know you found the right people!

I wish they stood behind all their builds. They cost my buddy $70k on his build from poor workmanship and refusing to fix it. I cringed when Derek said their name.

Structural engineer here. Those cracks are typically a subgrade issue, not so much a concrete issue. On some occasions if concrete cures too quickly it'll crack but not like that. Your expectations are spot-on. That'll be a decent fix for now but it won't be a forever fix. If there was rebar in the slab those cracks would probably never really open up more than that, but without there's certainly that possibility. Fiber isn't bad, but it's not rebar. Edit: I actually noticed those cracks in your last Lodge video and I was surprised at how quickly those were there.

Yes, I noticed and was disappointed by the cracked floor. I have a thing about vehicle carrying concrete and always make sure it will take the weight. I like 6”-9” of hardcore, topped with 6” minimum of reinforced concrete, my choice would be 9” of granolith if I was putting lorries on it. Thing is if you are building a workshop you don’t ever want to think about the floor again.

Yea... It will never NOT CRACK for sure. Interesting to see how fast it cracks. Obviously I substrate issue. I would have been sick to my stomach to have such a crap job that I have to do temp fixes on the rest of my life!! ha

I’m near Montreal and I did a slab for a rear deck installation last year and you wouldn’t believe the prep we did for the concrete and that was for a stair landing. This slab either sank or heaved (I’m guessing sank) and that should have been looked after pre-pour. But either way…. Get used to cracks in your concrete lol

To think how just a few years ago you were filming in your garage to where you are now. Derek nice things happen to good people , and all that blood sweat and tears and a fantastic role model family is keeping you focused.I reckon this is just the start of it for you as well because you are so switched on to what people enjoy to watch and be entertained with.Just keep being you and we will all be happy.

I could definitely go for a full rebuild of the ol' tractor! I think that'd really entertaining and interesting!

He is a hard woman does roadworthy garage and finds old vehicles on the road and gets them running brings them home and finishes them. Than comes home puts up building and works on the yard and house busy man. And hard worker and love watching biscuits shows

Concrete guy ova here. I gotta say..a few sticks of rebar well covered lasts years.😊

Those floor guys are good. And I did floors for 40 years. It is awesome watching people who know what they are doing. That is why two million fellers watch you!

A guy's got an amazing car barn. And a guy's fans are happy for him. Thank you for bringing us along!

Scrap the tractor!! Chain up the tires on the DeLoreon and add a PTO and it’ll be fine ✌️

I'd love to see a rebuild on the old John Deere M. Derek seems like a fellow that needs a dog.

Derek, another fine episode! Whilst you were bragging on the gravel guy I was thinking about why I've been watching you for years. It's because you've been perfecting your craft over many years and are fun to watch while you work. You and the gravel guy have that in common! Mega kudos!

As a mason Derek, your masonry is gonna be either a cultured stone which is a fake stone made in a mold, but is cheaper than a thin cut real stone, or thin brick. Thin brick is about twice the cost of a full brick product wise and labor wise, as a full brick needs the face cut off to use for thin applications and needs the wall prepped per code with weepscreed, tarpaper, rainscreen, and metal lathe. Thin brick can be about 2$ a piece, where you can get full brick for 1$ or even less. You said you're going brick in vid...not sure if just a generic term here. But to save cost if going brick look, have them bolt angle irons on and use full brick, doesn't look like you have a brick ledge. Full brick are much quicker to lay as well.

Derek,You need one of your young-ins to get a drone camera vid of the barn. Kids are good at that stuff.

Love VGL just as much as VGG! Thanks for letting us into your life through VGL! I also vote for a rebuild/paint of the Deere!

Derrick im still waaay happy that you moved out of Minnesota and moved to Tennessee...😊

You should use that netting like on your garden. So that rock doesn't just sink into the mud.

@Vice Grip Lodge please do a Video on the Delorean PLEASE

I know a guy that wishes he had put in a hydraulic car lift when he built his pole barn. Love your videos Derek. Enjoy the boys. It's hard to believe mine are 23 and 26 now. They grow up quick. Keep on Keepin' on brother.

Yep, that tractor deserves some love, go for it!

I think little grips and big grip, tractor rebuild refresh would be awesome

Its a little late but after years of trial and error, I've learned a 3" road stone base packed in with a 1" top layer makes the best driveway. The big stone base allows for dranage with reduced "washout" and less sinking. Guaranteed running those heavy tractors on that 11/2 will result in sunken tracks and potholes.

Definitely bring the Tractor back to its former glory

The trash pile should go with the builder before he gets the final check. They always try to pull that one.

Another great video. I just love your content . Even watch you mow your property. In terms of f power why not solar panels you definitely have enough roof and plenty of sun. You could probably generate a significant amount of power and with batteries you could be off the grid.

Holy shit i have to go watch that episode of road worthy rescues. That is a sweet delorean. Thank god they are fixing that concrete. I remember the last video I was thinking how horrible it looks and it is brand new.

Nice bailer there in the background at the end! Would be cool to see some farming episodes with old abandoned equipment like your JD M

Two guarantees with concrete, it’s going to crack and nobody’s going to steal it!

I was daddys little girl and he was a grease monkey 🐒 and you remind me of him we lost him about 10years ago but he loved fixing up old cars,love you and your familys content in a crazy world its nice to smile

Great content and video as usual! If anybody out there hates elecro digicals like Derek and needs an installer, give me a shout!!! Been installing holley terminator systems and wiring cars from scratch in the Midwest area.

What no back to the future sound effects when you opened the door to the Delorean. I bet that Delorean halls a** with that Porsche motor.

You should definitely restore that tractor!!

Awesome video brother stay strong and God bless ❤❤❤

I'd love to see the DeLorean on the VGG Channel!!!! And the M rebuild!

Because when the Rain Makes Splashes and it Spatters on the side.. There is No way for it to Reach the Wood Underneath…😎👍✅

Great idea to do the tractor over,would be a fun project.

funny how those John Deere starters all sound the same. Brings back alot of memories hearing it.

I would love to see the old tractor restored.

I vote yes on restoring the John Deere M!

Very jealous that shed looks extremely nice and yes restore the old deere

Definitely put the M on the channel! Would love to see you make it so shiny it scares you!

Strip the tractor down and give it a rebuild love all your show thanks mate 🇦🇺

you might wanna consider a metal post next to building in front of where cars are gonna be parked under that overhang. one little mishap parking a car there could be quite expensive 🙂

You should buy one of them old commerical floor cleaner/polishing machines you drive around on the concrete floor making it shiny, probably save a lot of time in the long run for the cleaning.

The Build is going GREAT.. But you know what be perfect for the garage? a CHIPS John Baker tribute TRUCK.. A 1977 GMC K15 Fenderside.. You must have one sitting out there somewhere in Rusty acres..

Yes, Make your John Deere sharp looking.They are a good tractor and deserve to look like that. I learned to drive on a MT. All our tractors were parked in a shed at night. Never left out in the damp/wet PA weather. They all looked good. I can't believe how bad these tractors look on the Utube farm auction shows. You don't let your tools out in the weather or get looking like trash, that John Deere is a big tool. It makes you $$.

A feller needs some solar panels, batrees and inverters for temporary power. You could have some lights and run some smaller tools. Nice job on the barn!

I would love to see a full rebuild on that old M!

You may want to consider a small solar panel with battery so you have lights, and can power the garage doors. Can also charge batteries with it.

Absolutely rebuild the tractor. I love old John Deere tractors.

There is a saying that goes something like "concrete has 3 rules, it gets hard, it turns gray and it cracks". It does look good though! They probably put fiber strands in it to reinforce it.

You seem pretty cool about everything. It's difficult (impossible really) to make everything come out perfect but when you have good people that are there after things goes less than perfect, you know you have good people that are giving you there best so rest assured you're getting the best you can get and everything will turn out okay! I like the epoxy floors just because nothing can soak in that and stain it, it'll have to ruin the epoxy and that's going to be tough to do, it scratches but it's pretty tough and make clean up a breeze. With all of those posts it's near impossible for a floor not to crack if the concrete is good it'll last for years.

Battleship/Machinery gray is used in ships so that you can spot leaks easier. Good choice.

I was always told, "There's cracked concrete, and theirs concrete waiting to crack," so I wouldn't worry about it, plus once it's resin coated, it will be great 👍

I have a bad cold should have said “lots of fun watching” 😇

Fiber mesh is the way to go nowadays but most of the time the concrete was poured too wet, and you get shrinkage and thus cracking. Next project Derek uses fiber mesh and watch the slump.

Derek concrete cracks. It’s a southern thing. The main thing is don’t let water get in and freeze. Then you have problems.

Would love to see tractor rebuild Derek, that barn looks lovely grand job.

Pretty impressive build...lots of money went into that.

Well I'll be dipped, that looks great for a man to put his automobiles.

love to see the tractor rebuilt

Looks awesome Derek. You should have a VGG car show.

Is that your brand new farm? If so you are getting things done fast man, i love you channel glad you got what you deserve. Keep up the good work and teach your boy right

I was over there picking up that leftover metal with a couple other guys from work on Wednesday, I gotta say Derek you have a beautiful place.

Coming along very nicely! I didn’t realize you were in the hay business.

I've always thought there's a lot of old tired iron like that John Deere kicking around in the weeds because no one wants to take the time to Tinker with it get it started get it running specially in the winter and the constant carburetor things that happen. I know it's easy to switch them to electronic ignition and still use the factory distributor housings and such to get away from the points and all the ignition problems, but good old-fashioned fuel injection would make them reliable easy starting and bring thousands of them around as a daily driver again. With your knowledge and your resources and your Connections in the industry I think you're the perfect guy to take that bull right by the horns and show us how to take all those cantankerous old mules out of the hedgerows and make them into reliable draft horses

I noticed a LOT LOT of comment asking to see the John Deere Model M fully restored mechanically and looks wise in a video series on the main channel, and also a LOT of comments asking to see the DeLorean worked on, finished and driven in a series as well. Myself, my family, friends and co-workers who watch all things Bieri family and internal combustion engines on KZread would very much like to see those two rigs on the main channel just like a lot of other people who chimed in with their requests. Thanks!

I would love to watch a rebuild of the old M. I have owned a couple different two cylinder tractors and they are lots of fun!

Looking good bud. I would strongly suggest you get an apron poured on the entrance area if you haven't planned on it already. Erosion and high traffic especially with tractors will cause the slab to crack and break away in chunks. 6-8" thick fiber mesh with wire reinforcement on a solid gravel base

Thats a building to be proud of. The John Deere would be a great project to see. We watch the. will it start up and run videos, but the finishing is most always missing.

I’m a QC tech for a concrete supplier. Concrete does 2 things, it gets hard and it cracks. Fiber in the concrete will hold it all together like rebar if it does crack it isn’t going anywhere

Stone veneer would look great on your new building

7:45 Oofta May, that’s a lot O cracks for a new building! You probably didn’t even get cold enough for long enough to get a good frost in the ground like we do up here in Snow Mexico 😳 I live in south western Ontario and this has been THE MILDEST WINTER I can remember in almost 50 years! Really only had 2 big snow storms and everything melted away in between, now it’s over 60 degrees, today 🤷‍♂️

The seat in the Delorean looks like Dark Fader after a 1/4 mile drag race.

Summertown is great. We wanted to build with them, but we were outside their area, so they got us hooked up with a contractor they recommended in our area to make it happen.

I want to see how it looks when you got it all filled up! and yes id definitely like to see the tractor get rebuilt!

tractor please would love to see you and the boy's doing the memories

I love the videos Derek. I'm glad things are working out for you folks in Tennessee. My wife and I are giong to be moving there from New York in a couple of years for the same set of reasons as you. It would be great to come see your shop. Keep up the good work

As for power at the barn, you could put up some solar on that roof and an offgrid battery pack. Don't need much to run lights, doors and the occasional battery boiler. A lot easier and probably cheaper then running a power cable trough a trench and getting it connected up. If just for (basic) lights and door openeners a 12V system would even work and you would be done for about 500 bucks as far as power goes.

The paint is great at keeping the dirt down, looks good. I’m surprised they didn’t put fabric under the gravel so it won’t sink into the dirt

DeLorean on VGG, absolutely, buildup

I live in the south. always have. Had driveway poured in Lubbock, TX. Fiber they said, no rebar needed. It cracked all to hell. Now live in Corpus Christi, and had a driveway poured here, with rebar. no cracks. Post-tensioned is the only way to go. But I hope no reinforcement at all works for you.

VGG you should Put a couple solar panels on the roof with battery tenders to the vehicle's never a dead batray😊

Barns nicer than my damn house. Looks awesome dude.

Damn that farm truck is lookin good

Wow look at that hey, Baylor. You got yourself a clover 🍀 field somewhere???

Do the tractor!!! Great building.

You probably already got the brick a stone veneer would look really good and it would look good on the retaining wall as well. Looking awesome so far 👍

Thats gonna be roller rink level smooth

@vicegriplodge id highly suggest you put in piping ( pipe - plastic same as used in oil wells on a farm ) to run hot water to heat . A tank less water heater cost about $33 bucks a month to use . Cheapest and best way to heat and cool your new shop.

In Houston which is in the south. We always lay slabs with rebar, always!

High Derick just love the new barn ,the painted floors look amazing can you show a picture of the outside of the barn from a distance so we can see you new doors. Thanks so much for what you do also can’t wait for the next f100 pickup video on Vice Grip Garage Greg from Ontario Canada

Nice barn to keep your projects nice for a long long time. Even contractors fall for the graft and kickbacks from government regulations. Rebar is NOT required in all cement applications. Inspectors are notorious... enough said.

A full teardown and rebuild on the tractor would be something I would definitely enjoy watching.
