Build Show Live 2026 Registration

Use this simple trick for anchor bolt protection when pouring concrete. We are placing 19 yards today and heading to Joshua Tree for Milky Way photography right after.

Concrete pouring tips can save you hours of cleanup if you know the right methods. We are tackling a large pour today and demonstrating how to keep your hardware clean during the process. This video is for anyone working on a foundation project who wants to avoid damaged threads on your hold downs or anchor bolts. The technique is straightforward, effective, and uses common household materials.

After we finish pouring concrete, the schedule gets wild. We are catching a flight to photograph the night sky in California. Watching our anchor bolt protection method in action will ensure your build goes smoothly before your next project. We hope this makes your site work a little easier.

Subscribe for weekly construction and photography breakdowns, and let us know in the comments if you prefer time-lapses of the build or the travel footage.
