    One thing I do if I hit a rock screwing up my trench is after pulling the stone out, I toss some of the backfill back in and drag the flat side of the bucket to keep it flat. Then I go back over (just one pass) with jumping jack and this helps me sleep at night. But idk anything about keeping concrete in shape.. I build walls on 3/4”

    Great video. Can you explain why plastic is not installed under the beams arounder the perimeter of the foundation? Isn't moisture a problem there too?

    • @srmcontracting
      @srmcontracting  Год назад +2

      Thank you, I'm no concrete expert but I believe the moisture is more of an issue for the slab and not the footings.

    • @scottjackson638
      @scottjackson638 Год назад +2

      @@srmcontracting But the beams around the perimeter are also concrete, which are also subject to moisture wicking up from the soil. In fact, since moisture is most likely to accumulate around the perimeter of the slab from rain and roof runoff, I think moisture is the biggest concern in the area where there is no plastic installed.

    • @troyminster838
      @troyminster838 6 месяцев назад +1

      there will always be moisture on the exterior no matter what. u don't wrap in plastic to let it "breath" and dry back out. the idea is u dont want moisture coming up through the middle wich is indoors. it can seep into the interior drywall, plywood, finish and mold.

    • @srmcontracting

      There was a lot of over dig because of the rocky soil and that's what threw it off.

  • @sonsofliberty3081
    @sonsofliberty3081 5 месяцев назад +5

    The guy at the plant did you a favor. He mixed it extra wet so it wouldn't start to cure on you, and it would blend better with the first pour. Had it been warm and he mixed it a shade dry, you may have had issues.

  • @benjigray8690
    @benjigray8690 7 месяцев назад +4

    Thank you for making this video about the preparation and pour of a mono slab.
    When you said that the last batch of concrete seemed to be different to the previous ones,
    and there was a lot of bleed water,
    I was thinking that mayhaps the folks at the batching plant mightn't have put as many kilos of cement per cubic metre or possibly, not as much plasticiser in that last batch.
    For me, I think excessive bleed water translates to "internal segregation"
    of the components of the concrete, lack of homogeneity.
    Apart from that bit of "constructive criticism",
    I think that you , and your crew did a great job.

  • @Doomzdayxx
    @Doomzdayxx 6 месяцев назад

    Sean, if you were building a block(or brick) garage, instead of stick, would you have gone deeper with the footer and how wide would you make the footer? thanks for the video!

    • @srmcontracting
      @srmcontracting  6 месяцев назад

      The depth would be the same, if the block or brick was going to start below grade then the footer would be 2' wide. Otherwise you could build block or brick right on top of the mono slab as long as you had rebar to tie it in. Hope this helps, Thanks for watching!

Mute curse words if any. Great for educational purposes & business. Most important, place your business info at the bottom on the video screen. Watermark style. Give free business tees to best comments related to the video. Will help your retention rate and algorithm. Make sure your business info is on them.
