DIY Concrete Floor: Pouring Slab 3/3

Final part of the build.
First we set up shuttering making absolute sure there was no way it could move even with all the weight of the wet concrete. Next we put down a Damp Proof Membrane which prevents moisture coming into contact with the concrete from below, which can cause the pad to fail. Then we drilled holes in the shuttering to insert Rebar which will eventually tie all the pads together and prevent them from heaving up next to each other.
Finally we mixed and poured the concrete slabs. Obviously the smart way to do this is to buy a Ready Mix, and do it all in one run, but to keep things cheap and be able to leave all the tools and machinery covered on the other half of the workshop, we hand mixed each section. Yep... it took a long long time. 1 day for each slab. 2 weeks to cure, and Bob's your uncle!

If you liked it good sirs & madams, please do give it a thumbs up!
Old building like that need limestone instead of portland ciment, and no plastic sheet...sorry dude
Our local French building regs insist on reinforcing rod in the concrete
Where's the rebar mesh? Где арматурная сетка?
With rebar mesh you could have gone with a lot less concrete. Any particular reason you decided this approach? Some very heavy machines going in maybe?
There is nothing that cannot be improved by the introduction of a cat.

Well ! You are not afraid of hard work. Did you know we can get a plastic form here in France, it acts as a screed form, and an expansion joint as you leave it in the finished floor, sort of Christmas tree in section, so it only shows a thin top edge, you have a good idea there with 2 cement mixers, a continuous supply of mix.

Just ran into your channel/project. Its been fascinating watching your project come along. Are you renovating a new to you house or is this a family house getting updated? Second question, are you a craftsman by trade or do you do other work. Been a real treat to watch your channel.
Thanks so much, I'm glad you managed to see some of the other projects going on! My hope is that I can document as much of the farmhouse restoration as possible. My dad has been in the trade since forever, but I'm a relative newbie - only for the past 3/4 years on and off. I've tried other jobs but none have kept me as satisfied as this!
Pure baked watching Barry Allen mix a batch
love your work.. and your place, it's beautiful.!!
haha thanks Connie! appreciate all the comments!
Bonjour,
Pas de ferraillage dans la chape ?
Bonne continuation.
Well done mates. Love the work and love the presentation. Clever, artful, skilled. I am impressed.
What an excellent style.....as opposed to the talkers,it's get to it and do it instead of endless descriptive/narratives and I love that pesky cat.
I must ask why no steel in the concrete? Its gonna me the floor less likely to crack and it does NOT cost that much to add it.
Good job
El mallazo???,toneladas de gravilla, pudiendo utilizar blocks de hormigón???,espero que no le hagan mucho caso a este chico, ese suelo tiene muchas posibilidades de agrietarse.
Hi there, I have a small worksop wich needs a new slab so I'm on the verge of doing something like this. Why haven't you used any rebar or metal grid to armour your concrete?
not driving trucks on it
No concrete delivery in your neck of the woods? Man, that would have saved soooo much time.
You don’t cast iron net in the floor, I always do that, for stabelizing
you all prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know of a method to get back into an instagram account??
I stupidly lost my login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me
@Harley Creed Instablaster =)
@Muhammad Victor Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Muhammad Victor It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass!
@Harley Creed Happy to help :)
great job respect ! but why do you have to remove the very hard underground en the fill it back with gravel ?
It's hard core. Needed to stop sagging of the concrete (and thereby potentially cracking).
How old is this building, and what other work will you be doing, if any? What will this building be used for? Keep us posted if you do other work. Love your videos. You're a fine craftsman.
the house is 300 years old! absolutely, make sure you're subscribed to catch new videos
I've just discovered your channel and subscribed. Awesome work. I'm curious as to what country you are from. Have you said in a previous video?
Interesting!
How does one go about filling the gap where the form was between the new concrete and the wall?
Hola, perdona que te escriba en español, veo que no colocáis junta de dilatación ni malla de acero, ¿el suelo funciona correctamente? Gracias un vídeo muy chulo ...
Very good
the best!
great work lads ,im doing my own garage floor the same way ,cheers from ireland
What would happen if I skipped the prepping process before the pouring of the cement and just poured the cement directly on to the stonedust floor and spread it ? I am about to convert a 12 x 12 barn stall in to a small work shop type room and I don't need anything fancy shmancy lol. Would that work or would the floor start crumbling after a while ? Right now it is just stone dust over sand with some plywood laying loosely on top to walk on but I want a hard sturdy floor without putting a boatload of money into it.
Sois muy buenos
These guys work fast
I couldn't see if you added iron to the concrete?
Great work inside, great nature outside!
Cat entry was awesome!!!

2 wks to remove forms? I don’t think so 🤨
Didn’t say you have to wait 2 weeks, just that they waited that long. Maybe they didn’t have time to continue earlier.
Hey man nice job what is the name of the gravel for the sub floor in french) you are using as we want to do the same
Thanks
Newbie here. Why is the steel under the plastic as opposed to pouring the concrete on the steel? how does this affect the longevity of the slab?
Good video, thanks
Yup, it's looking good, though I'd like to see the finished floor!
too true. so sad that I lost the remaining footage. Just realised that i've been locked out of my instagram, but I'll try and get something on there by the end of tomorrow if you're itching to see! good to hear from you, its been a while!
carlrogers yeah, I added you on Instagram and I'm waiting for you to add me. I really enjoy how Europeans renovate, so much better than North Americans!
Nice Job!
no rebar?!
00:56 City inspector arrived...
Hahahah 😂
Hmm, don’t do Instagram maybe post your final photos on here as well
does anyone know if it's possible to put concrete flooring in any room of any type of house if proper reinforcement is in place? really appreciate any feedback. sick video btw the time-lapse was awesome
good job
Visqueen and concrete you're in for a lot of problems if your intention is make of this room a living space ( with heating ). Lime concrete should be used!
do you say that bc of the lime mortar in the walls ? .... expecting that the moisture will be trapped by the portland cement ?
@@grassabrutta No what i am saying is that in an old building it is important for the air moisture to be able to escape freely and that concrete prevents moisture to escape from the ground. Therefore it will rise in the walls.
To wy gruszki z betonem nie macie w tej Francji? Lubicie se roboty dodawać...
Bro where do u get timbers and beams in france?
Why did you leave it 2 weeks before you started again?
Great Job. Love the videos. I have a question with regards to the concrete you are mixing yourself. Is the ballast you are using just a random mix of sand and gravel? If so are you not concerned with the correct ratio of agregate to sand? Also are you adding and plasticisers to the mix? Just curious for a job I am doing myself. Cheers and keep up the good work!
What I want to know is why no rebar for such a thick slab
Y u no rebar mesh?!
Non weight bearing floor
Bonjour beau travail, j'ai une petite question de vue que le Royaume-Uni va quitter l'Europe en mars 2019, vous allez revendre votre ferme ou rester en France de façon permanente?
This is really a lot of concrete. A lot of work. Looks very nice. But, didn't you forgot reinforcing?
no need?
Hi Robert. For this kinda of floor its not necessary. It wont be weight bearing, apart from some work benches, and is supported adequately by the compacted hard core underneath. We used steel to tie the slabs together, but thats all that was needed. Thanks for the question
OK. I´m not a concrete expert. Only curious. Thanks for your answer. Good luck :-)
Could have saved a lot of time if you got a lorry full o cement, but good job
Next time doing a simple floor like that one. Do it the easy way. Put your sand gravel and cement down, use a roto tiller to mix it up. Add water, let it set until ready to finish. Save all that work.
cliff clark hahaha, then plant some daisies
no rebar??????
Bravo bon travail .
Где арматура?
Why not ready mix, at around €100 a metre it's not worth doing it yourself.
It looks a good mix and not much slump,I'm sure it will be ok especially as its cast in small slabs so has control joints.
Judging by UK building standards I would rate this guy as above average,with an organised,tidy approach
One other point, it's in France which is a challenge in itself..
Good for a new house, no for stone house
Brazil 🇧🇷
Without the armature it will crack very quickly.
Странно, что не поливаете бетон для созревания после укладки в течение нескольких дней...
Hi all. It is my understanding that in an old rubble stone building you need to allow for maximum breahthability.
Therefore, you would not lay a DPM and you would use a limecrete mix. Interested to know viewers thoughts as I will be doing my foundations in my 200yr old plus farmhouse...when I can travel again to it. Cheers and a Merry Xmas.
Walls need to breath but floors don’t. You don’t want moisture rising through the floor. Doesn’t make a difference to age of building.
Currently trying to work this out in a solid brick house from 1940's. I believe they did multiple layers followed by bitumen layer followed by parquet wood flooring. However I think the bitumen layer has failed. I believe doing what you would be the preferred method . I am thinking and I've read that if I add a DPM layer it'll push the moister to the wall the water will be drawn up the walls.
would like to hear your thoughts on this?
Muito bem😱😲😎👍👍👏👏
O gato vai deixar pegadas nesse concreto kkk
what mix did you use ?
4:1 ballast to cement
Where’s the cat?
sadly was hit by a car :(
@@carlroge 😱😱😱😱😭😭😭😥🥺🥺🥺nooo
استمر بتوفيق💖💖💖💖👌👌👌
No sand blinding on top of the hardcore mate, hope the visqueen didn’t puncture
1200 g DPM..........Mate.
Looks like no effort was made on curing concrete like keeping it wet. Curing adds strength! 7days ideal keep it covered and wet and allow cement crystals to bound with gravel inside and form tough concrete. No rebar either so I am expecting this floor to crack soon
Nobody does that shit no more. Concrete has good psi as is.
To much water in the mix and the screed will be bubbling up making the water sit on top the screed and the top of the screed will not set but great prep!
Congratulation for your work ! You are english or french ? You speak english but your Nissan has a french plate
hey thank you! i'm english, but this is a little old farmhouse in France, hence the french number plates. Interestingly, it is a UK car, so the steering wheel is technically on the wrong side..
Perr fect dob. But where's the fucking cat

Even in the south of France you could do with FLOOR INSULATION !My God I hope you lot don´t work on other folks properties.
its a workshop
Forget the trolls, great job Carl.
I’d be more than happy for these guys to do any renovation building works on my home, maybe you didn’t realise this is a workshop floor.
We got ourselves a Karen here. 😂
Good job!!!!! But nothing impressive. I was thinking about may be I am going to learn innovative technics but..........
армировать надо, иначе ненадолго эта хрень
