Same here, I always like watching channels from all sides of the country and all types of weather. I watch people in Australia deal with hot weather and people near the great lakes deal with cold weather. It's always nice to see how other people do their work. What part of the country are you working in? Thanks for your comment and support by the way.

Just found your channel, shout out from Loveland. Nice pour.

I have dedicated some time to find reliable, efficient, good finishers. I only know a few great ones. The others are good enough because I keep a close eye through the pour. This pour did have a good line up though. Pouring early helps. But if needed too I could gather maybe 10-15 finishers. And if need be I can step in to take the place of 2 of them atleast. Thank you for your comment and support.

How much was the labor on that job, not the total cost just labor, jw if I'm bidding right? I couldn't afford 10 finishers to bring in

@jmconcretecoloradosprings

3 жыл бұрын

Don't remember. Total Cost was around 14k. Materials were about 4k. So labor was probably 10k. I would have to look into it to get you an exact answer. And it was 6 finishers plus me and my wife. I am a finisher, wife is more of a labor. And my dad is a master concrete Mason. He just gets paid for supervision and a second set of eyes to help me with quality control.

Came out great! I don’t mid that checker board look. The colour will be interesting once fully cured. Will it get a topical sealer?

@jmconcretecoloradosprings

3 жыл бұрын

We will not be sealing it. Too many of the brands of penetrating sealers have a bad reputation of leaving the color "blotchy" . So what we do is pour low slumps with Micro fiber so that the surface has a better chance of not spalling. As for a film forming sealer. We have considered it but they make the surface slippery plus this driveway has a decent slope so we did not want to risk it.

Nicely done. I think I would still go with a pumper because of the size of the job and the awkwardness of the steps and sidewalk.

I like the color. How much did it cost you for all the color on this pour?

@jmconcretecoloradosprings

If I recall the color was about 130 per yard more on top of the base cost of the concrete. So about 1700 extra just for the color. But don't quote me on that. My memory is fuzzy on those details.

Hi Guys, just wondering why you use rebar instead of reinforcing mesh beneath your slab? Also how do you attach your rebar to the existing garage slab. Just wondering, John

@jmconcretecoloradosprings

3 жыл бұрын

We use the rebar because the most important part of any form of reinforcement in a slab is placement. Wire mesh gets stepped on and isn't uniform through the slab. It ends up on the ground. Even rebar can be that way if you don't use chairs. I'd your reinforcement is evenly placed through the slab. Both spacing and height from the ground. It will have a hugely positive effect on the over all job.. And when we attach to the garage it's pretty simple. Drill some holes and hammer in some pins.

You did a great job man but I noticed that the broom direction on the concrete is all going different ways, why would you do that it looks lazy and unprofessional

@jmconcretecoloradosprings

3 жыл бұрын

Doing a checkerboard pattern takes a lot more work. And it's so that when the sun is setting and rising it looks like a checkerboard pattern. It takes so much coordination to achieve. It would have been much easier to just broom it all the same direction. Combine that with the picture frame pattern and I will only do it with a large crew that knows what they are doing. The amount of communication and coordination to achieve both looks requires a good team.
