Very nice. Im a DIY guy. Never pissed w concrete. Plan on doing something about this size when the weather breaks. Thanks for the tips

Last year I poured a slab for a new shed I built what a difference over buying a shed with a wood floor. Tuff shed had no problem with building over the concrete slab they tied into the slab with the walls and now it's liking walking into a small garage.

I did my own pad like this last summer. Got a couple quotes for around $2500 in Canada. Ordered mix from a company that charges by the 1/4 yard. Cost me $550 and did it myself in a day total (prepped the day before and poured the next day) I wet cured it for 3 weeks and when I drilled my baseplate in, it was by far the hardest concrete I've ever drilled through.

Well done! Thank you for sharing. I just did my 1st concrete slab, 5' x 7' x 3.5", did a "dry pour", it is curing now, looks o.k., but some rocks on surface. After reading your comment about crumbling, will likely forgo "dry pour" and go with traditional mixing in the future.

You can patch the spots with something like Ardex CP. Then using the same product do a thin coat over the whole surface(after proper mechanical grinding) and apply a broom finish. I do it all the time.

From all the concrete KZread peeps I watch, I like the 50/50 horse 🐴 broom best. I’ve noticed it gives it a smoother finish, and still maintains a matte, satin reflection on the concrete while still providing traction. Other guys, with different brooms it seems too coarse texture with deeper lines which looks lower quality

Hello I’m seeing lots of people jumping on this “Dry pour” Fad here on YT I try to explain to them that it’s not going to create a product that will last. In my younger days I had a vinyl liner pool company and we did the decks around the pool slide and diving board. I would call in my concrete buddies for large pours. So I think I know what I’m talking about. But would really appreciate your take on the Dry Pour idea Thanks ​@@OdellCompleteConcrete

Tyler, you made this work of art look so easy. You nicely compressed 12 hours into 12 minutes for this video. I have never worked with concrete, but I want to make my own pad for mounting two 300 gallon fuel tanks. To be honest, it scares the bejeebers out of me. I feel like its a race against the clock so you better prepared and know what you're doing or you'll end up with two cubic yards of boat anchor. What are your thoughts on dry pouring? And, can you come to my house and do this pad for me? 😂😂😂

Did you do a fall from back to front and then cut a line across it ? Would a line not have worked better from back to front also - will water not pool now in that joint ?

Hi Odell, Would you recommend using a bull float for small shed slab 2.7m x 1.5m which is approx 8.8ft x 5ft. I have a screeder, a small hand mag trowel and a steel finishing trowel. Wondering if i need to hire a bull float or can I get away with tools I have. Thanks for your help. Channel is great by the way.

Looking to do my own concrete base for a SIPS panel garden room. I noticed that you didnt use MOT1 sub base, do you think it's not needed?

What does the broom do for the concrete slab? Is it just a texture/cosmetic finish or is it doing something else?

Can you do a cost break down for this job ? I am looking at having a 13’ x 15’ concrete slab poured and would like to have a price point. Great job as always.

What is the joint for in the middle? I was under the impression that if you want to make a joint for expansion and contraction, that you would need to cut down through the full layer of concrete, but in this case you almost just make agroove in the top but the two halves remain mostly attached to each other. Can you explain? I am a total beginner but need to put down a contrete slab about this size for a sauna build.

Amazing great job. BTW what about curing after casting?

Yuss ... On the Canadian prairies that's extremely important. You really want a good base to avoid heaving. You would also put heavier rebar in at most 16" grid, 12" being wiser. So I go with a bit of sand first, then a few inches of thoroughly tamped road crush, then 12" rebar tied at every joint. Some will say overkill, but it's not expensive, and it'll last for generations.
