Tradies angrily smash driveway they made when homeowner doesn't pay up.





Here we see again, the plight of the tradie. Overwhelmed at one of life's challenges/unexpected situations, and loses control of his emotions and reacts the only way he knows how: Violence.


Sure, if you do a job and someone refuses to pay that's a dog move and you should seek reparations. But do it properly via the courts, not losing your temper and smashing up the driveway like an angry neanderthal.


Sad this happened to them, but still, kinda perpetuates the stereotype of tradies being angry and violent.
Back off, Warchild.

Seriously.

He could have just put a lien on the house for the unpaid tradie work instead of doing something that could easily get him charged with trespassing and vandalism if the homeowner was smart and had the balls to do it.

Also, that lady is delusional if she thinks that concrete job can be "repaired" even halfway properly without ripping it all out and redoing the entire thing



Edit: Australia. Not sure how their laws work regarding this stuff, but the bitch is still a moron if she thinks that driveway is getting fixed without being ripped out re-poured entirely.

I don’t know
Much about concrete but wouldn’t the newly filled spots just not adhere
Properly to the holes?

Like it’s not just glue or something you can patch over and make it like new


Those tradies don’t have the fukin time to go through the whole litigation process and chit

Yeah, pouring new wet concrete onto old concrete doesn't bond properly. You can use Quickcrete to do new small concrete jobs, but patching over old concrete always works halfasssed. They can patch over the holes and it'll be fine for a year or so, but it'll start cracking around then and get worse over time, much faster than one solid pour. Plus, all that patchwork won't match the original concrete job perfectly, and will look like absolute chit, especially with that many holes to fix.

The raw testosterone from the video is palpable. These men were wronged and they handled business. Not one soy filled officecel would’ve tried to stop them if this was their driveway.

The lady has still gotten more than what she paid for. The "oh my, how dare they" value is how quickly they hack holes into it, not the act. If you don't pay your car note the banks will repossess it and you have nothing. That's much harsher than driveway holes. What these guys are doing is like banks taking away your 2024 Highlander and leaving behind a 2012 Ford Focus.

The problem at heart was agreeing to do charity work for a ghetto chick without getting full payment first. Their mistake was being trusting. The legal process would cost them more than what they'd get back. Good on them for not being scared and repossessing their work. More of this sort of thing is needed in the world. And no I'm not a tradie.
Yeah Buddyyy! Light weight! Light weight baby!!!!

She showed a pic , and her concern was there was no rebar put in . That’s a big no no right there ,as it’s guaranteed to crack . Obviously the tradie does chit work and cuts corners.

As for repairing , that’s impossible

Bro caught felony charges here in Colorado for destroying a woman's bathroom for the same reason. Now he's a convicted felon for life.

Or mesh , unless you’re using some super expensive concrete that’s reinforced with some other technology. I think there’s fiberglass reinforced concrete ,or some other tech ,but I’m sure they ain’t using it .
Every driveway I’ve seen is designed for the load bearing of a car , so they reinforce it

I'd be pissed if I got a driveway done and they didn't put rebar in it. Not having rebar in a big concrete job like that is stupid af. Say hello to way premature cracking like hell. A driveway witbout rebar is like tits on a bull or a cop without a gun.

Mesh works like absolute chit compared to good rebar. Either do it right, or don't do it at all. No proper concrete tradie does large concrete jobs without rebar. Anything needing to take the weight of 5k+ pound vehicles needs rebar.
