Planning to do the pad for my mini split just like that with out it connecting to the house foundation as there is a sprinkler on the way. Any problems with leaving that gap with water collecting there?
Like a 5 gal bucket? Mixing in something that small would be very difficult to get all the dry spots mixed well. And I’ve done it before and sometimes you pop a hole in the bucket if using a shovel. This pad took several bags of concrete so with a small bucket you’d be making lots of batches. With the wheelbarrow it took to batches. I need to get an actual cement mixer soon probably though. Could make life a bit easier
@@FortKnoxCo Are you affiliated with Fort Knox gun safes? That's what I do is move safes. Them fort Knox safes are built well. Probably the best built ones available. But there is a lot of different good ones out there. Thanks again
@@duaneross9271 no, no association with the safe company. Fort-Knox is a play off my last name. Nick name when I played sports. So early off when I started my custom building and construction I came up with the name to brand things I built. I agree, the Fort Knox safes are very nice.
I'm not sure what to expect. You say "don't overwork the concrete" and you skip troweling and floating while it was setting. This conflicts with information I've seen elsewhere. Is this simply your preference for a less smooth surface?
In the video I could have let the concrete sit a little more. I was mainly making the video to show the overall process and talking about some facts about the concrete and forms and mixing. If I would have let it set longer I could have achieved a smoother finish.

Very well explained and concise! Thanks!
Thank you. I appreciate that.
Man, bro… you have a lot of faith in your hammering. Your hold hand was just waiting for a miss… ouch!
lol. Yeah. It’s a self correcting lesson
Great Video as usual! Thank you for sharing.
Than you ! I appreciate that

I wouldn’t pour around the sprinkler head honestly. I would try to move that pad or move the sprinkler head.
is there a reason you don't mix the concrete in a bucket,seems like it would be easier to deal with?
