How to diy a concrete patio slab. This is how you would pour and finish a diy concrete patio. This video show you how we pour, screed, and bull float the slab. When the timing is right, we cut a joint, mag float and broom finish the concrete.
The patio slab was 19' x 11' x 4" with a mat of rebar and fibermesh for reinforcement.
I used a 4000 psi concrete mix with air-entrainment (freeze / thaw) protection.

Nice to see you mentoring Luke. Does my heart good to see a young man who takes the job seriously!😊👍
I appreciate that!
Top job good to see young Luke is back on the show
You're pretty handy with that torpedo groover Mike - made that look awfully easy. Nicely done!
It's a missel groover from Superior Innovations.
That Grover is a nice tool Mike, great job on the pour.!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Always give you the 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 up…..
Thanks 👍
Wow a train in maine how rare haha. Lived in eliot maine 4 years while in air force. Only seen one at a crossing in north berwick. Now you have passenger trains from Portland to Boston. My time was 72-76. Long time ago.
Yey, the young fella is still around, It would be so cool if the Teacher (name soz) was the young fella's teacher at some stage in the past. That weird ery feeling when 2 worlds collide.
You are all awesome!
Thank you!
Broom marks look much better, good job
Thanks!
Great video! Do you find that the fiberglass rebar is holding up as well as steel?
Yes, absolutely
Love your work Mike. The groover actually creates a thinner cross section along that line, this makes the concrete more likely to crack along that groove, as long as the grooves are placed at intervals where cracks are probable. The spacing is usually dependent upon slab thickness, aggregate size, water to cement ratio, its temperature range, and some other factors. If you look at most grooves in slabs there are cracks in them. The tool joints or grooves do not prevent cracks, they control their propagation by weakening the slab along that point. You can cut the joints in also, but this is inferior in my opinion as you have to wait untill the concrete is hard enough to cut, usually within 3 to 12 hours after finishing, by then the cracking has already occured.
For small jobs like this I noticed you only mentioned pumping it or using a conveyor- why couldn’t you buggy it? Pumping is extremely expensive
Mike what is the white material on the bottom underneath the metal squares?
Working with cement is an art all by it’s self and you guys make it look easy but I bet like everything else takes years of experience to have it turn out as good as looks
Rigid foam insulation.
sheets of styrofoam
How is it that you take on little jobs
Why, what's wrong with that?
@@MikeDayConcrete Cost? These little jobs cost way too much to take on, profits to me don't seem worth the time, I do concrete pavers walls anytime outdoor, when I had a 3 man crew i was able to take on smaller jobs. After a while of doing small jobs and low profit margins, I moved away from that and just refer those out, it was a good business move, I just think you and your men are too talented for smaller jobs, I would refer those to the little guy , in a mutually beneficial relationship
Just price accordingly thats how. If you knock back the little jobs that owner will potentially do a big job once day and you'll miss out.
Pay attention kid, some people would pay a lot of money to pick Mike’s brain for a day!
Buggy ugy .
Yup, lots of them
