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.
Yeah, slower too. Why you wanna give a break to the new guy? I remember when I started with my Tio Frank. . . There was no walking the carrucha, you ran it. The more you got caught being lazy, the more beer you had to buy after work.
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!
Thanks for mentioning People Ready. As a small contractor business is good to know. When paying top buck to finishers you should have them tool in the control joints to minimize over night cracks Thanks Felix Zarate The Masonry Company
Thank you Dave to you and all your crew!!! I would like to try my hands at building my own personal storage shed ( potentially a 5 x 10 size); this video will help guide me to achieving my goal of building my own storage shed….please continue to do more of these types of videos Dave.
I was a little disappointed not hearing you say 50% horsehair/50% nylon but then you totally redeemed yourself at the end 13:50 with, "Look at that wood grain finish, that's a masterpiece." Haha, you are the best, love you David :)
Hi! George here, plaster master. I hope to learn enough and gain enough anti-procrastination juice to actually pour this. Lol nice! I definitely need a slab for tools I allow to be taken advantage of by the sun. Good job guys and thank you again
I saw my house in that video! I thought it was you guys doing that job, mostly because I thought I saw your blue shirt. I meant to stop by and have you come by my house to check out the pavers, seating area, stucco and firepit that I learned mostly from your videos. I just never saw you guys there when I was coming and going. Maybe next time!
Nice work Odell and crew! Cool wheel barrow. When I’ve been part of concrete testing, I checked slump indirectly with a Kelly Ball and have seen others measure slump more directly with a cone but you Sir made the shortest work of that I’ve ever seen with just an eye ball.
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.
I’m literally addicted to your content !!! Quick question at my dad place it has a courtyard which drop over 10 cm in 15 years do you find there is something to worry about !!
With fine wood grain finish concrete, all you need now is some rich Corinthian leather furniture on the pad and your customer will experience the affordable luxury of the Chrysler Cordoba.
Hi David, good to see you back as I have not seen one of your videos for sometime, hope all your family and workers are doing well in this crazy world, one question; what's with the beard? take acre and keep safe.
Hay Brodie, protect yourself & your workers. 3m eye protection with the foam anti fog , N95 respirator, and ear protection. You breathe in all that concrete dust. You pay now, or you pay later. SAFETY FIRST !
Glad to see you invest in equipment that saves your back and your guys. Knowing how my peeps are, that would be a “no mames” on your buggie. Work smarter and work longer. Good job, love watching your channel, it takes me back to my short concrete career. Keep it up.
Nice video! Some questions from the uninitiated: What does the fibre you added do to the concrete? The big cut you made, what's the purpose of that...expansion? Edit: That is one sweeeeeeet powered wheelbarrow!
Wow, that is a hell of a shed pad!!! Going to last longer theb the shed... Footing, plastic vapor barrier, pink bar gridded... Most shed pads are just throw 2x4 on the ground and pour, no rebar or footing. Lol
I needed a 7x7 pad only so did it myself with 4x4s and used rebar sledgehammered them into groud and corner braces, etc. Took bunch of trips to transport ton+ of 1.5" washed rock abt 6" deep. Lil bit overkill for shed that just fit pad, but looks and drains great. For bigger shed like coming here in vid that pad looks real nice.
"I lost my Johnson", is this some kind of true confessions episode? I love your videos and this wording just jumped out at me and made me laugh out loud.
Appreciate the videos. Helpful. Please let us know when you do some pergola foundations /piers and slabs. I see more pergolas getting built for grilling and solar car ports.
I enjoy watching your videos, it's very therapeutic for me. LOL. I do have a question, if I'm building a 8x10ft shed, do you recommend I get the concrete pad the same size as well 8x10ft? Thanks in advance.
@@OdellCompleteConcrete the new platinum model? Wife has been bugging me to upgrade, can't afford it. Gotta tell her not to pick on the little guy, he does his best. Hahahaha
Why did you pack sub-grade (soil) and didn't put any grave on sub-grade (for under slab water run-off and reinforcement)? Also, leaving the finish smooth without a broom finish, can leave slab slippery especially if wet.
Have you ever tried using high tensile steel reinforcement mixed in with the concrete it’s normally about 1 mm diameter with the ends folded like the head of a pin on the pieces of metal are approximately 1 1/4 1 1/2 inches long
Thank you, and you are right about "masterpiece", mine looking at the side has holes where the guys did not push out air bubbles. Question if I may, do you not need some kind of vertical studs to set the framing 2X's--or do you install that later? Thanks.
Hello, that looks impressive, new yo this and I am just learning. Can I ask how did you stop the concrete/mix escaping or seeping out from the bottom of the shuttering, thanks for the advice
I own those wheel barrows too, they're balanced on the front wheels, just pick up a little and turn with the front wheels. No need to push down so hard
Great job! How far did you stay away from the existing wall?Where do you get the fiber mesh from? Is that a regular circular skill saw w/ a Diamond Blade on a special cart?
Couple of questions... What is the green plastic cover sheets you used called and it's purpose... Also why do you elevate the middle but dig down at the sides
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.
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.

Im in the opposite boat. All the quotes I've gotten have been over $2000 for a simple 12x14 4in slab!

I got to say personally that thing looks like more work than a wheelbarrow.
Initially it was until I got the hang of it
Yeah, slower too. Why you wanna give a break to the new guy? I remember when I started with my Tio Frank. . . There was no walking the carrucha, you ran it. The more you got caught being lazy, the more beer you had to buy after work.
Definitely quicker with a wheelbarrow

HI, for such a small building, is it necessary to deepen the perimeter of the foundation? Why not just a 6 inch slab throughout?

Just curious, why didn't you compact the soil? Or vibrate the concrete?
No need on undisturbed native.
Pea gravel doesn't need vibrating.
Looking good! Would like to have you and crew in my backyard for a week or two.
Wow, that is a hell of a shed pad!!! Going to last longer theb the shed... Footing, plastic vapor barrier, pink bar gridded... Most shed pads are just throw 2x4 on the ground and pour, no rebar or footing. Lol

Lil bit overkill for shed that just fit pad, but looks and drains great. For bigger shed like coming here in vid that pad looks real nice.
Our code is 12 inch turn down, 3/8 rebar on 20 inch centers. and 1/2 rebar top and bottom of the beam. Inspected before pour.
So the plastic sheeting is always necessary? When can it be skipped and replaced by compacted crushed rock?
It’s a vapor barrier. If you want it dry inside use that.

Great how to video,I have a question,how wide do you cut the edges around the ground where you went a lil deeper before you form and pour??
You need enough depth to get some 5" embedded anchors in there

Hello, that looks impressive, new yo this and I am just learning. Can I ask how did you stop the concrete/mix escaping or seeping out from the bottom of the shuttering, thanks for the advice
Dry concrete, low slump helps
What is the purpose for cutting the slab? Thank you.
The concrete is going to crack no matter what, when you cut it, it will usually crack there.
I own those wheel barrows too, they're balanced on the front wheels, just pick up a little and turn with the front wheels. No need to push down so hard
Yes your right I figured it out after a couple of runs.
Great job! How far did you stay away from the existing wall?Where do you get the fiber mesh from?
Is that a regular circular skill saw w/ a Diamond Blade on a special cart?
Concrete provider has fiber.
Concrete saw is Medusaw by Skil

Looking a little thinner there Dave. Staying away from the tortillas and modelos?
Just modelos
Id like more cuts into it myself as if it moves it will crack on a groove not a fine line across in any direction!
Great lesson on how to
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi your plastic rebar can you use any type of plastic ?
Whats the thickness?
3/8" fiberglass
Couple of questions... What is the green plastic cover sheets you used called and it's purpose... Also why do you elevate the middle but dig down at the sides
Vapor barrier
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.
😂😂 you're all over the place
This is only California where it doesn't rain
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?
He wasn't sure about doors
@@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.
Excellent ! 😀

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.
Yes
