Me: fills bin once
Bin: collapses
Are we throwing caution for no reason, or do we have an actual problem?

You guys have insurance on the bin site right? Your insurance company has an extremely valuable interest in those bins not hurting anyone, not causing you losses, not damaging any of your other insured property and equipment. If it were me, I'd talk with your insurance agent to see whether and how they can use their weight (legally speaking) to bring the project to a safe, fully operational, conclusion.
cracks in concrete are normal, concrete will always crack to some degree BUT those cracks are not normal. Could be an issue of bad sub grade compaction, too little reinforcing steel or the wrong PSI concrete. Theres a large number of reasons things like that can happen. That being said you need to contact your attorney and put in a call to the contractor to show them the issue. I dont think you showed whether or the concrete was tested when it was placed but for a build like that testing is a must. keep an eye on it, keep it safe and start going through the proper channels to rectify the situation.
23:24 Wow! that is insane. I don't think you even have to be an expert to know that is defective, and you definitely aren't over reacting at all, that entire pad will need to be demolished and re- done with bin etc. I'm not an expert, but to me just visually looking at that concrete pad it looks like it wasn't mixed properly and had too much water in it. I used to mix alot of concrete as a kid and i remember exactly how concrete would look when it was dried and the mix wasn't right, it just had this weak, soft, powdery, crumbly look to it.
I can see a huge lawsuit coming from this, compensation to have the bins re built and also compensation for the stress, down time etc for having to have it all re done. I remember how keen you were to have it all finished so you could just start using it and now you will have to go through all of this again unfortunately, but atleast this time it will be done right.
They are not on their own islands at all. The concrete is all held together with reinforcements like rebar and such
I donât want to say anything negative. I enjoy your channel. Thanks
Done alot of concrete job's, seriously empty it and get on the phone.
Best of luck to y'all
You have a disaster waiting to happen. That whole setup has been trouble from the beginning. That wet bin is in danger of going down even if it's empty. Be careful and get someone on site that knows what they are doing to evaluate the whole setup.
Hey cole hang in their Remember take time to be a good father
If you have the rebar in that slab your engineer asked for…. $50 bucks of caulking…not a big deal
Ya I agree. U need a lawyer. Or call the company an give them a chance to make it rt
Is there a baby on the way ???
I believe that you need an engineer and a lawyer. Be careful guys
At this point, whoever built this setup for you should be forced to take it all down at their cost, reimburse all of your money PLUS damages, PLUS any money you may have had to pay to the co-op to store grain you should have been able to store at the farm. Then I would add in punitive damages for stress. This is absolutely disgraceful. I know you had issues with them during construction about showing up etc. I hope that every farmer watching your channel and considering a new bin setup sees what a shoddy company this is and they lose future business.
Let it fall over and crush the dryer, then the bin installer can buy a new one of those too!

Happy UNBIRTHDAY Cooper
Cole get the concrete tested it may be substandard.
Missippissi river carries 60% of the countryâs grain exports. And it dry . Deisel shortage in days . Fertilizer gone get real high now.
Iâm no concrete expert, but I would be Mach 10 aver those cracks. Itâs aggravating to pay expert prices to people who do crap work. Curious to hear the plan and wonder if the companyâs insurance is involved in this process.
time to do another go fund me page on facebook or youtube again
I for one, wouldn't be under it at all, stay away, and contact a Lawyer, cracks like that should not happen this early in the buiding of that pad, not thick enough and probably not enough rebar . stay safe and stay away from the bin.
Wow for all you had to pay for those new bins and to have the problems you have with them is not good.
Cole – Looks like you and Nave have news to tell us, unless I missed this in a previous episode. I trust all is well !!!
I think it's time you start calling these contractors out by name, so others don't have to put up with this kind of shoddy work.
There is not enough steel in the concrete plus too much water in the concrete pal itâs one botched job get an engineer involved please
The insurance company is NOT ! gonna be happy for this ! what a huuuuge bummer you have being witness to from day one ! holy crap that construction company they suck !!!! I hope you pull them to court and suck every penny out of them for this monster crap job !!! and also those who made these bridges to walk on…. those weldings here and there are totally un acceptable !!!! I really understand DC´s anger, and I personnally think he act´s veeeeeery kind in perspective !
Kinda hard compare them 2 machines with the years difference.!
Looks like you will be needing a good Lawyer.
Seriously. Is there anything else that can go wrong? These monkeys who built this need to be taught a lesson. Still, Happy Birthday Cooper. Hope you had an enjoyable day, even if you were working.
this is just a terrible accident waiting to happen , everything is loose , many working pieces are not working right and the concrete is a joke , call your lawyers and tell DC to stop climbing this death trap , i hope this bs get resolve because i'm pretty sure it's only gonna get worse
It wouldnât be such a big problem if it fell it was built so bad
Cole , it's time to break out the lawyers and stand on the designers. Those slabs should be bigger past the legs and Alaskan design. It's all common sense. I hate to see you guys lose all that storage and money. You have enough to worry about in life.
It is pretty obvious that the contractors that built your bin site are butchers. Time to get some engineers and then sue the pants off the contractors and get the site rebuilt properly. I was never impressed while watching the site be built in the first place.Concrete does develop small cracks but those are off the wall.
Dang that hurts but yall will get in sorted in the right time
The more ye use the bins the more problems ye run in to đĄđ𤣠Hopefully ye get it right sometimes soon Is it just me or is the cole family going to get bigger đźđź??
