Hi Mike, Your video is what just I have been looking for. I like how you showed how long it can take to set up, and be ready for the steel trowel, and the power trowel may be not as good after all. I also liked seeing the prep work with the pavers. (stone always settles) I will be doing a 25 x 10 slab soon, with some help, but it is inside so no worries about rain.. ha ha. I did a 20 x 10 garage floor about 10 years ago, It was just me and the concrete truck guy, but it turned out fine. I read a good book called "Masonry and Concrete work", by Max Alth. The internet said don't try it yourself, but the book said "it will be fine". The book was right. Cheers from Nova Scotia. Canada. Thanks Chris

I've been able to go straight from a bull float finish to blued out in one pass, on small pours like that, using a troweling machine. You have to have a good screed job and a good bull float job. My 24" x 30" workshop finished out with one pass on half of it, and one more a little later for the rest. I had warmer temperature, though; around 80f, and poured concrete with a lower slump. Two trucks for a total of 15 cubic yards. I like the quality and detail you can put into small pours.

Thanks Mike, wife and I are rebuilding the barn on our homestead, UK. I've watched many construction videos stone walls, blocks, pours, you name it. Decided to stick with yours because there's a common theme of sanity and experience running through them. We build our own house in the past so more practi ce than some but nowhere near pro level. All your stuff is useful but sometimes its the small things like not letting a poured floor stick to the block wall. Makes sense when you explained it but I had thought stick the whole thing together, makes it stronger, not. Your vids are making a scary job on the farm more realistic for the two of us. We're pouring the barn floor in two halves using a truck delivery, roughly 30 ft by 18 ft in total. We can only get small trucks up our farm lane. I was wondering where to put the stress cuts in each piece. If we go back to front we'll have 2 x 30 x 9 slabs side by side or 2 x 15 x 18 slabs if we do the back half first then the front half. Given that we don't get extreme temps here and that there will be a joint between the two halves do we even need the cuts? Really appreciate your vids, nice and calm as well. All the best Lloyd and Donna.

Hey Mike, happy Easter, How do you trowel finish garage floors when there is nothing to rest wood to stay on..do you use knee bords?...just curious because I don't want concrete to be stiff so I won't be able to trowl it and Wet so do not put prints in deep and wont be able to fix them,will appreciate the answer back!!!!

Great video series really enjoyed everything you had to say and the techniques you demonstrated! I sort of enjoy doing small pours mostly for myself where I'm using an electric mixer. Can you comment about a technique where a standard mix is poured - possible mixed with less water for higher strength and the "top coat" is mixed with a little more water to make it easier to finish and extra shovels of Portland cement is added to the ready mix to get a smoother and perhaps darker mixture that finishes better and possibly stronger finished surface?

Nice job Mike! Columns are a good idea but why not use Sono Tube? Easy to install, add rebar and pour. Or why not drill re-bar dowels around the perimeter walls including the foundation and only install columns at mid slab. Also i would get that trowel machine going Mike. Get one with a reliable Honda motor. I always trailer 2 machines, 1 as back-up on a 10-15 yard pour with 1 finisher. They save money and further level floor and slicks the surface for easy sweeping. Also saves the knees and back and a Godsend when the concrete is setting quickly. 44 years experience.

Hi sivarej, I think the reason you can’t find videos on the subject is because concrete is very unpredictable, and a good Mason with a lot of experience will do what he can to make sure it doesn’t crack, but just ground shrinkage or swelling , weight, etc. etc. etc., and the concrete itself has a tendency to shrink and expand because of cold and heat, So nobody could do a direct video on it, I hope it helps thanks Mike

Ok, I was talking about the blocks around the perimeter, looks like he uses them as extra support for the slab above? I like how he uses tar paper and sand to allows things to float and move! It looks like he has a nice gravel base and I have never seen anyone use the extra blocks like that? I am trying to get a better understanding of how he spaces them? With a proper base like he has I am not 100% sure what those extra block are doing? It seems like a good idea,I know things can and do settle and maybe the bigger foot print of the block helps if some of the gravel base settles ?

Hi Tiger, Inside is usually smooth, outside a non slip, I like a float finish , easier to paths, Thanks mike

Ok, so not to be super critical, but it’s going to sound that way... ACI says to bury all vapor barrier in 6” of sand to prevent curling, and it also helps with bleed water, which I noticed you trapped it all under the surface when you ran the bull float over the surface to much, the bull float is a straitening tool not a finishing tool, then you put the Fresno on it too soon trapping more bleed water under the surface, and just kept hitting it when it was too wet, my guess is this floor will peel in less than 5 years, because the trapped bleed water will evaporate and leave a little void between the surface and aggregate, your prep work is incredible and you really want to do a good job, I would suggest taking the 2 day ACI flatwork course, it is very informative and helps lead you away from these mistakes, good luck sir.
