Great content!

They make good concrete patch materials that would fix the bad spots. 👍

I don’t think you’d have to saw it 👍. Great job!

The dog. 😂

Nice!

Looks great!

The edges are going to bow……..😂 JK

For sanity reasons be careful reading comments. Remember anyone can post a comment. You don'/t need to know anything to post online that you are a construction engineer and that this is the way to do it. Odds are that poster is a poser who never even built a small birdhouse.

Ignore hate comments. Idiots.

They need an expansion gap hopefully they won't crack. Temperature change they need room to move. You can saw cut the floor and it will release the pressure. They usually are spaced out every ten feet.

700 dollars is awesome

Just out of curiosity, why not pour directly from the mixer into the forms? Wouldn't it be easier to push some of the mixed concrete around then wheelbarrel it?

Keyboard warrior here bla bla bla I know how to do everything better than you but I never leave my chair.

Well done. May the nah-sayers consider doing it themselves through your recording and instruction.

Hopefully this video blows up like the first good job man, win win.

I did 19x40, and I spent around $2,000. 350 bags of 90 pounds

Love all the details in your videos. Always looking forward to the next one 👍

Anyone can talk shit when they put it in on someone else's dime. Probably don't even have a place to pour their own pad. Right on. I love it..

Look forward to following your journey.

The world is full of opinionated idiots....don't listen to them, you're doing fine...

Get a good concrete sealer (could even add color if you’d like). Epoxy will not hold up if are going to work on the slab.

Great work man. A great ending. Thanks for filling us in on all you went through!!

Piece of advice if you plan on doing an epoxy coating, get an epoxy that can be thickened with fumed silica or something similar. The bug-holes in your slab will create problems for any coating you put on. You can fill then with thickened epoxy and a trowel, its as simple as putting your material down and scraping it over your slab with the edge of your trowel. Once that cures, your top coat will be perfect

I'm a cement mason, after watching a whole bunch of dry-pour nonsense it's nice to see some good fucking concrete. One general piece of advice for folks looking to do a pad like this, cure your concrete! You want to keep the concrete damp for at least a couple days after it sets up, up to a weak. It'll lead to stronger concrete and it'll help avoid patchy coloring. If you plan on doing small pads and tying them in with rebar or dowels, you can do a checkerboard pattern, skipping every other pad. That way one can cure while you do another pad. Then when it comes time to do the rest, you can use the previous pads as your grade

Nice

Local pricing for concrete in Mobile Alabama 2 years ago was $100/yard 2 yard minimum. Ie they will deliver 1 yard but charge you $200 if you need less than 2 yards. For the 12 yards you used it would have been $1200 instead of $3400. Pre-mixed correct slump, and will pass a 3000psi crush test at 30 days. As a single pour there is much less finish work required.

This summer I poured a 23x11 foot, 5.5 to 6 inches thick pad in sections like you did, turned out pretty nice. I’d like to share some of the photos with you but I’m ultra $h1t with technology… Now building a shed (stick build) I thought about block but I’m not a mason (would have preferred block though), I would probably still be laying block instead of having walls already. I think if you build with block you will gain a lot of traffic, seems a lot of people like watch those kinds of videos, me included. If you do build it out of block hopefully the revenue from the videos would pay for the garage. Anyway, excellent build, and thank you for all the hard work and info!

Outstanding Good for you. Looking forward to what is next.

nice job

Thanks for the info!

You've done well. Jeff. I admire your work effort. I have some advice for you, tho. Along the one side and the back corner you better think about digging that hillside back enough to keep the water, leaves and debris from coming up against any walls you plan on building , later. It will be best to do it before you get too much stuff laid down back there. Advice from someone who didn't.

Jeff, Great Job !

is there no concrete plant near by? Seems like 2 trucks of concrete and hire a couple finishers this could a been a 12 hour job at a similar cost

You should have put a couple drains in

You did an AMAZING job man. If it took you 60 hours, if I am being honest with myself, it would probably take me 120. But it it very inspiring to see you handle this. I definitely want to give it a shot. You can be incredibly proud of yourself, but you already know that!

Got it done 👍

Nice job Bud , where do you live ...I'm in British Columbia Canada .

Way to go Jeff! Your inspiration is contagious…

Thanks Jeff! Looking forward to see next steps!

What an inspiration, man! Enjoyed every video, per pad, from start to finish. Definitely inspired my next project, brother - much respect. Can't wait to see further projects from your channel

Hi Jeff, what video editing software do you use?

👍👍👍 really nice work.

Good tip on the orange paint. Thanks for sharing.

great series, some self leveling concrete and epoxy, will make it super easy to clean and nice smooth surface, doing it yourself was the right call

Great job sir! Lots of couch critics but you did it and that's more than most people would do. I'm working on my pad now thanks to your inspiration and confidence. Thank you for posting these helpful videos.

Nice job! Maybe I missed it in a previous video but how long did it take from the first pour to the last pour? In terms of weeks. I’ve been hesitant on starting a similar project.

Thank you for sharing your hard work and, most importantly, your honesty, Jeff! I learned much through your concrete videos.

I built my one dry pour concrete! 25’x20 a have to say was really easy a mean a can’t complain

Thank you for sharing your Insight and all of your ups and downs and trials

You did a wonderful job and I thank you so much for doing this like I've told you before in my comments I'm getting ready to do something like this but not quite as large with some sidewalks but this is giving me confidence that I can do it myself
