    This is EXACTLY what I am trying to have done in my yard for a tool shed kit. Been looking for over a year, and haven't found a single contractor who ever came out to see and give a quote, that ever called me back. Seeing, this, I believe I could do it myself. Thanks David!!

      @@billsmith9249 Same. Just got 3 quotes back. 2200, 1800, and 1900, for a 10x10 shed foundation slab. Nothing crazy just a storage shed, but the quotes are much higher than I'd expected

      Most reputable contractors are too busy to take on a tiny job like that unless you get them early in the spring before it gets busy. Concrete is expensive and on top of it, if you only get small amount (1 yd. or less) you may get stuck with an added small load charge. There is also an added charge for any additive in the concrete (fibermesh or calcium chloride that speeds up the set time, etc) So a little slab can get costly if you contract it out.

    After not being able to get a contractor to do a 20x24 pad, I decided to do it myself. I mean, I’ve watched all your videos, so I think I got it.
    Wow, never again. You make it look easy. 😂 The concrete truck driver helped me screed and level the pad. So I gave them a nice tip.

    And to add icing on the cake, if you add a couple of ducts, (prior to concrete, )coming up vertical from outside to inside the base, you can thread up electric etc inside the shed without external wire showing ! Nice job.

    I had to build a cement pad for my dog’s 8’ x 30’ ft kennel run. That was a lot of work for one guy, and the cost could have been hard to handle at that time in my life. SO, I used pop cans I had save up as fillers. I’d lay a few rows of cans with 2-3 inches of space in between, then cement between. Then finished off with a couple inches over the whole top. No cans showed (except for the little 8 inch square to prove I used the cans. That was 25-30 years ago, still good as new. I did fill one 4’ x 8’ section with gravel for poop n pee. A great little condo inside, and my spoiled doggers were in heaven (and safe).

    Thanks for making the effort to help someone seeking work. I've been hooked on your channel since I found it a week ago. There's allot of concrete videos, but your channel is different and that's because of you Sir. You're a problem solver, a man with vision, you're an artist and you are a great ambassador for the concrete industry. I really like how you take the big problems head-on and don't settle until your vision is accomplished. Great channel - God bless you Sir!

      You could DIY. Done it myself and the little lady with 60 or 80 pound premixed concrete bags and cement with concrete mix. Keep the sections small no more than 10'x8' at a time if you don't have 5 guys working at it. Pouring is fast and dirty finishing takes most of the time. Plate vibrator for compacting soil, concrete vibrator to remove air bubbles and a nice smooth edge, mixer and finishing tools. Need to pay attention to drying time and temperature, each day and pour is a little different. Need to practice on finishing before any major work.

    American building is funny, they just poor a little slab that would never pass over here. Over here you dig trenches at least 90cm down, 60cm width, that's filled with a stone/concrete mix that needs to set for a few weeks. Next you build up a double brick layer to way above ground level with steel mesh at each brick layer, the ground get's sprayed with weed killer, plastic isolating sheeting covers the ground, next you introduce the steel rebar and pour concrete/stone mix almost a foot deep and let it settle a few more weeks. Only then do you start with the double brick exterior walls.
    There's no rot, sag, mildew, damp, termites etc and it will never ever burn. In the US a drive by shooting can kill an innocent child sleeping in bed, over here there will be a chip in the clay brick unless it's something like a .50 BMG

      For 30 years the slab I put under my 4M by 5.5 M ( 12 by 16 ft.) shed has worked just fine. The edge is 30 CM deep with with 1.2 CM rebar top and bottom. ( 1/2 inch ) Northern IL. on sandy soil. Painted sheet metal roofing/ siding over 2 by 4 studs. I can buy it cut to length. Screw it on and you are done. Still looks good.

    Why did the owner not consider concrete anchors for framing? Would it be possible for the owner to share future videos of this shed build?

      @@OdellCompleteConcrete You can always cut off a bolt in the way. Expansion anchors are crap compared to 'J' bolts on 4 ft. centers.

      Its super easy to install an anchor after the pour. A simple drill then some epoxy and set the anchor in.

    Very nice work and video, sir. What was the thickness of the new concrete you poured for the driveway extension? I need to do the same as the 30” wide section. My current driveway is 3.5” thick but I was told I should make the extension part 6” deep. Is that correct?

      Depends on your soil type and vehicle load. In Sandy Rocky soil 100mm for a drive way is fine providing you're not driving heavy trucks on it.
      If you have reactive soil like black clay you'll need 6 inch and 32MPA concrete.

    This property owner is clearly a big shed fan.
