Brother You are the 1st people that I follow on RUclips that has ever told us, the break down and the money you have made on RUclips. Not saying theirs other people/channels saying that. But the ones I follow, and you deserve every last penny my friend. God Bless you and the journey of your channel and life. Im glad to have been following you and will be here for you my friend. Congratulations on your hard work, Can't wait to see the Garage to go up. Take care of yourself brother
Very unselfish of you to thank your viewers. Thank you for taking the time documenting your work. I am sure something is involved editing, reviewing, etc. My brother suggested some years back I put some of my hair brained projects on RUclips. Did not even know what RUclips was at that time. Very enjoyable, better than TV.
Incredible, Jeff. Your transparency and honesty about the materials, process, YT revenue, true out of pocket cost plus time is beyond generous. You have a new subscriber. Keep on keepin on.
Great job sir! Lots of couch critics but you did it and that's more than most people would do. I'm working on my pad now thanks to your inspiration and confidence. Thank you for posting these helpful videos.
Piece of advice if you plan on doing an epoxy coating, get an epoxy that can be thickened with fumed silica or something similar. The bug-holes in your slab will create problems for any coating you put on. You can fill then with thickened epoxy and a trowel, its as simple as putting your material down and scraping it over your slab with the edge of your trowel. Once that cures, your top coat will be perfect
I second this. This is the method I used when I had my epoxy coating business. I still have a couple huge bags of cabosil (fumed silica) in my garage attic. Used for thickening epoxies into a thick paste like consistency for patching. Even used it to thicken chemicals into a paste when vertical cling is required.
dude, don't worry about responding to the haters, it looks to most of us you've done a good job and at a time where everything cost too much for most people that don't want to mortgage their child's life it has a lot of value. Good job. Subscribed.
And thanks to you for doing this: showing us the process you went through and the details you gave. Ultimately the nay-sayers added to your revenue, so that is cool. For my part: I watch a lot of videos to get a well-rounded learning of the techniques, so if anything you show was "wrong" it's on me to find the answers. And the answers are available. I am just thankful for guys like you who take the time to do this for everybody. Blow it up, brother!
Hey thank you for watching and taking the time to comment 💪🏻. videos like this help me a ton on a regular basis, and is one of the reasons I started making videos. Happy I can help 👍🏻
Awesome dude, People don't realize how much work goes into making the video itself. It takes hours to run through the footage and curate it plus its free entertainment for us. So thank you for doing it, you earned it!
What an inspiration, man! Enjoyed every video, per pad, from start to finish. Definitely inspired my next project, brother - much respect. Can't wait to see further projects from your channel
I’ve followed along since like pad 4 or 5 I think, and very pleased and happy for you and the final result. I’m not a perfectionist, so this looks well beyond what I could personally do myself. You having a masonry background I’m sure helps with the finished product, knowing how to mix mortar, curing etc is all relative. Everyone needs to go back and rewatch these and his other content again, let’s help Jeff stack some funds away over winter and hit the ground running next year with whichever building he chooses. I’m gonna rewatch myself over the rest of the week
I poured a Basketball concrete pad roughly 50 x 37. Your pads turned out nice. Good job man. That’s a lot of hard work and I bet you appreciate it when you’re editing the videos.
Good job! I'm glad I came across your video. I have a delapidated garage with two options: tear it down and start over, or rebuild it one wall at a time, doing the pad last but doing the foundation as I do each wall. I'm leaning towards rebuilding because of the cost associated with permits, removal, time, and not having a roof-I won't have to store my stuff somewhere else; I won't be under a time crunch as if I rebuilt. Your slab looks awesome, and the imperfections can be fixed when your garage is done. I'm a painter, and you already know how to fix those, and when the little pock marks are filled in, I would do an epoxy coating and skip the sanding and other labor people have said to you. I've epoxied 3 garages, and it's amazing what a thick layer of epoxy paint will do. It covers all, but the worst of imperfections, gives an excellent surface that is easy to clean in the color of your choice, and one customer told me his mouse problem went away! Now I have to go back to your first video and watch from the start of your project and pick up on the insight you've put into this and gain any knowledge I'm missing. I'll try to follow up once I've got more of your project envisioned and we can share any ideas between both of our projects. Merry Christmas!
I just watched your first part video then found this one - Fantastic! I like going back over with muriatic acid and washing off the cream skin to show the aggregate a little. I feel you on the paint chips. Same effect when I didn't notice some leaves that blew into my mixer - that crap always finds its way to the top for blemishes. Awesome job to be proud of!
Looks damn good, in my opinion. I will be doing a driveway from scratch like this in the near future after winter passes in my area. Thanks for the tutorial, man.
You did an AMAZING job man. If it took you 60 hours, if I am being honest with myself, it would probably take me 120. But it it very inspiring to see you handle this. I definitely want to give it a shot. You can be incredibly proud of yourself, but you already know that!
Man I'll dig the footers lay the rebar, but I'll definitely pay to have someone work the concrete. Tried it once and done. Never again. Awesome you pulled that off.
You did a wonderful job and I thank you so much for doing this like I've told you before in my comments I'm getting ready to do something like this but not quite as large with some sidewalks but this is giving me confidence that I can do it myself
I'm a cement mason, after watching a whole bunch of dry-pour nonsense it's nice to see some good fucking concrete. One general piece of advice for folks looking to do a pad like this, cure your concrete! You want to keep the concrete damp for at least a couple days after it sets up, up to a weak. It'll lead to stronger concrete and it'll help avoid patchy coloring. If you plan on doing small pads and tying them in with rebar or dowels, you can do a checkerboard pattern, skipping every other pad. That way one can cure while you do another pad. Then when it comes time to do the rest, you can use the previous pads as your grade
@@jeffdeshong thank you for the video, it's got solid info and gives folks realistic expectations. A pad like that is a lot of work, but you'll only need to do it once when you do it right
@ btw I made a few videos explaining how to cure concrete, and I got a ton of people commenting telling me that more water makes concrete weaker 😂😂 refreshing to see someone comment who understands curing.
Great job Jeff! Just found your channel about the self pour pad. I'm going to be going back to the start and watch each one and boost those numbers. I'm going to be pouring my own concrete in the future and this will help I'm sure. Thanks for sharing.
This summer I poured a 23x11 foot, 5.5 to 6 inches thick pad in sections like you did, turned out pretty nice. I’d like to share some of the photos with you but I’m ultra $h1t with technology… Now building a shed (stick build) I thought about block but I’m not a mason (would have preferred block though), I would probably still be laying block instead of having walls already. I think if you build with block you will gain a lot of traffic, seems a lot of people like watch those kinds of videos, me included. If you do build it out of block hopefully the revenue from the videos would pay for the garage. Anyway, excellent build, and thank you for all the hard work and info!
15k sounds about right. Thats what I paid for my 30x40 shop slab groundwork included. Great series man. Definitely going to go this route for my driveway. Thanks for the motivation.
You've done well. Jeff. I admire your work effort. I have some advice for you, tho. Along the one side and the back corner you better think about digging that hillside back enough to keep the water, leaves and debris from coming up against any walls you plan on building , later. It will be best to do it before you get too much stuff laid down back there. Advice from someone who didn't.
hats off to you brother. wish i could have handed you a beer from time to time if you were my neighbor. quick question do you ahve w mix video of how to mix? and do you know how much it would cost in concret ready mix bags if you were to got that route? you definitely inspire me and im wanting a 40x60.. just what rver you did x2!. awesome job none the less!
Looks awesome. Another thing you could do is pour some self leveling concrete on top of the slab and once that is cured, then epoxy on top of the concrete.
Nice! This is helpful. I need to build a shop in the spring that will be about this size. Is there a main reason you went 5.5 - 6" thick? Heavy equipment storage?
Nice job and a lot of hard work. I wasn’t even looking for those videos just scrolling through Facebook. Your first one just caught my eye and, I got hooked and watched each one since. Just my opinion if you do the block around the outside you wouldn’t have to worry with how the edges look. Also it would make your garage just a little bigger instead of putting the metal on top of it.
Very nice Bro! I have been considering doing this is front of my garage for my driveway and maybe some behind my garage, however it's still just a plan. Now I have a idea how much it would cost. Will also factor in rebar now
You can make a bull-float out of a piece of 2x4 for a handle and a small ~4 foot piece of 1x6 or 1x8. Just cut a sharp angle (maybe 60°-70°) on the 2x4 and nail or screw it to the 1X. It works surprisingly good enough, just for doing a little smoothing after screeding.
Hey it’s just what I want to do because like you mentioned it’s expensive to get a concrete slab done with a contractor huge savings kudos to you I have the same mixer no truck I’ll do the same thanks for sharing
I made my 10 x 30 x 6in pad for my 30 ft trailer over two yrs ago thats where it stays i dont take it any where ,the pad is in great shape , you must not have concrete service near by, my concrete only cost little over 800. and payed a friend that does concrete 500 to help pour and float it ,they used some fiber witch really works good when its colder weather ,i did all the pre forms work my self but dont remeber the cost , im adding a deck next to my trailer and put a septic tank with leach field in use the chambers way easyer so yeah like your work good work
Nice job! Maybe I missed it in a previous video but how long did it take from the first pour to the last pour? In terms of weeks. I’ve been hesitant on starting a similar project.
Slightly more expensive, would need to make more trips or have them delivered which would also cost more. Don’t really like working with bags. Thanks for watching!
Really interesting idea building it on top of an old foundation and then building a new footer. Would have loved it if you laid down some cheap rigid insulation beneath the slab and some pex tubing to allow for radiant floor heating in the future. Admire your persistence and hard work. Remember your increased labor time builds character and gives you time to plan future activities and creates content for youtube. Dont rush, the greatest buildings in the world took generations to build.
Good work getting it done. Where I live ready-mix runs $175 a yard. So $2100 for that pad. I don't think I have a the will power you do to get it done by hand.
Local pricing for concrete in Mobile Alabama 2 years ago was $100/yard 2 yard minimum. Ie they will deliver 1 yard but charge you $200 if you need less than 2 yards. For the 12 yards you used it would have been $1200 instead of $3400. Pre-mixed correct slump, and will pass a 3000psi crush test at 30 days. As a single pour there is much less finish work required.
A lot wrong with this comment. A lot was addressed in the video btw. Concrete per yard here in Pittsburgh is not $100/yard. Not even close. I DIDNT SPEND $3400 on concrete as stated more than once. That price included gas, rebar and wire mesh. If you have premix delivered, you still need wire mesh and rebar. Not to mention, YOU CANT GET A CEMENT TRUCK CLOSE! As stated. Also if poured all at once, that wouldn’t make a very unique video and I wouldn’t be making the same money on RUclips. Thanks for watching, even if it was a little bit.
Maybe an actual material cost list would be nice, but overall great job, I'm a tough critic on finishing but your job works well for what you want so I'll leave that alone, Nice job Good luck ....I'll be watching
Hopefully this video blows up like the first good job man, win win.

Very nice Bro! I have been considering doing this is front of my garage for my driveway and maybe some behind my garage, however it's still just a plan. Now I have a idea how much it would cost. Will also factor in rebar now
A little bit of smarts and some hard work paid off. Just as it should be!
You can make a bull-float out of a piece of 2x4 for a handle and a small ~4 foot piece of 1x6 or 1x8. Just cut a sharp angle (maybe 60°-70°) on the 2x4 and nail or screw it to the 1X. It works surprisingly good enough, just for doing a little smoothing after screeding.
Good job! Dont stop!

I’m curious why you didn’t use a premix concrete?
cost im sure.
hed need 100s of bags

Get a good concrete sealer (could even add color if you’d like). Epoxy will not hold up if are going to work on the slab.
