You need to do a follow-up video and show the house that you built on this slab.
You don't lay it. You pour it.
I never saw the pigs. 😉
My Dad never used rebar and never had concrete problems
You mentioned a wooden float at the beginning, but it never came up again.
Thank you for this video! This was exactly what I needed for a 4X2 slab I needed to pour. Never having done concrete before, I was nervous but I remembered the steps from your video and it came out great!
How many bags of concrete did you use for the 3×3 slab?
excellent! I was quoted at $1500 for a small 16' x 4 ' sidewalk---I think we can DIY it so much cheaper. Going to give it a go!
What a nice job on this video. I'm a former technical writer and appreciate well-structured and concise instructions. Your summary of what you were going to do, why, and the tools needed was extremely helpful and made the instruction part of the video that much more quick and easy to follow. Thank you!
Your method for creating and squaring the frame, marking the perimeter and leveling it while fastening to the stakes is hands down the best and easiest method of ALL the videos on you tube. Thank you!
About to do a concrete slab for the first time in my life.
Never thought I’d find a slab of concrete so beautiful.
Best of the best videos. Straight to the point without a lot of garbage, thanks.
Clear, cool and polite, Thanks dude!
Awesome video. Very well explained. The tips on how to leveling the frame is gold. Thank you much
Extremely concise and useful video. Beautifully created too. Great work, thank you
Great video. Concise and easy to follow. I work in IT as a Technical Architect and often an Analyst who has to produce technical documentation or administrative videos - this video was one of the best I've seen as DIYer!
Very helpful video, keep them coming.
A very good video giving much information on making it like a pro.
Great tutorial. I am about to lay a concrete slab for my car port and found your video very helpful. 👏👏👏
