Screed like a pro!!! DIY TRICK
Here we pour 85 yards of concrete on this Commercial building. The customer needed certain areas super flat for an auto body shop so we used MAKO screed chairs to hold pipes at grade and we screwed off them. This is a good way to set up your pours also if you do not have experience with wet screeds. This is probably one of the DIY tricks to pour concrete if you do not have much concrete experience.

You what to see a big pour, 30 to 50 thousand sq. Ft. pour is big, where I live in Michigan this an every day thing. You have anywhere from 15 to 20 finishers and about 10 To 15 labors and about six to eight finish riders. They still did a very nice job.
Always so impressive watching your finishers work

For large floors like this we always had the triple rotor, the finisher sat on top, riding it like a quad
Thanks for showing.
Beautiful looking floor you guys did. If only I could find a responsible concrete contractor like you.

Nice work. Great building. Love how its open span and there's no post to get in your way constantly. Those screed chairs are pretty slick. I cheeped out and got a Bosch laser but I'm thinking I should have paid up and got a more premier set up.

good job Greg.
Back in the day, we used to use a galvanized metal screed that was designed to clip over flat metal stakes. It had large holes along the middle to let concrete flow through and under. It had 4 bends for strength and straightness as well as hemmed lips to make it safe and easy to run straightedges along. Haven't seen them in use for decades. Wondering why, because we did almost every large floor with them.
As a Guy from Germany i did Not understand why you put the rebar directly in the floor? Here we lift it with spacers about 30mm up, so it stays in the concrete and it also did not start to rust away. Anyway nice Work guys😊

We used to pour patios and driveways here in Texas and I really enjoyed it. I got too old for the heat. Would a few of those giant shop fans help the mud stiffen faster for you? Just wondering. Great looking work.

No doubt those screed pipes work. Kinda old school. We used them in trade school back in 75. How old am I?

6/13/23; 2day great job on 74x50 slab prep, pour & info on those little blue (patented) 'y'-shaped vertical 'guides' which hold 2" pipe, which become the screed guide when making floor level. Glad you pointed out pipe is removed at later time, soon after screed has made ''section' nice by following planed flat or mild slope to drain or exit.. Contradiction..kinda..help/tell us why their was visqueen under big slab (74x50) shop floor...but...no visqueen under front 'apron' (75x12). Just usual grid wire laying on compacted raw ground...no visqueen on this exterior/entrance parking area..so why no visqueen under apron slab?🤔 Always enjoy yur videos & commentary! Gives we armchair viewers/ handyman with some occasional cc/slab work. Thx. Stay safe & carry on!👏👍🔧⚙️🍺😊

people lay that 1/12 -2" pipe in the big door concrete floor where the rubber seal of the roll down door touches. it makes a perfect straight bump for the seal to set on . water doesnt go over it, mice struggle to get over it and ice struggles to stick to the steel for some reason .
No fair! Even the sun helped. You looked like you were in the shade on that entire apron.
Biscuit is turning into quite a finisher.

Ron, do y'all ever use a Pizza pan on the power trowel? Great for burning a floor lol
Ron ,wondering why they wouldn't have a Blackhawk frame machine anchored into the mud
For the floor because they wanted is super flat for the first power trowel would that be a application for a pan on the power trowel. Or would it not matter because you used the screed shelves ?
Do you ever use expansion joint between the apron edge where it meets the garage flloor? Also is that apron sitting on the foundation edge? Frost heaves without expansion joints in Wisconsin usually causes the edge damage when two separate pours take place.
@bondobuilt386
Жыл бұрын
The apron does not sit on the foundation. I have done it both ways. with and without expansion.
so the pipe stays embedded in the concrete?
Do they insulate The floor and how thick insulation and why didn't say ready radiant the floor
The only reason you would run the bituthene that way is if you were hanging it by yourself but for a bitter more quality of a waterproofing would be the running horizontal instead of vertical then you only have a seam every 8 to 18 ft going from top to bottom all seems should be cocked with bichiton cocking I didn't see any on that

You dont like using grade pins and just make a mark with the screed?
That looks like a cracking job! - if I ever need a big floor laying down I'm gonna pay for you, Biscuit & the Gofer to fly over & do it for me, mmmm
Do you think the FinCaps would work when pouring against a wall if you set them say 1ft out from the wall, then hand mag the concrete from the snapped line on the wall (or top of expansion joint) to the pipe, then run the screed along the pipe (without having to set a wet screed along the wall)?

I would but we used to nail or screw a 2x2 too the wall, the top even with the width of our screed and a short 2x2 to the top of a screed stick to get our grade along walls.
