    Its not setting up because there is a vapor barrier beneath it. The water has no place to go except up. Any time we pour over vapor barrier we put 2 inches of sand on top.

    The video says how to finish a concrete slab with one guy, not pour with one guy so the math is actually right

    I’ve done concrete for 40 years done many buildings like this it’s a key way for the metal building to sit down in three things. I would do put a lot of great steaks make sure the slump is it a seven and plenty of beer for the end of the day after cat walking everything

    Nice work! I did a garage floor with a two foot frost wall in one pour. It was about 10 x 20. 6 yards just me and the concrete truck driver but he was cool. My forms were good so it was like filling a upside down bathtub. I had a good book called Masonry and Concrete Work by Max Alth. I have done two more since. All in cooler weather so that bought me some time with the finish work.

    That's the 1st thing I thought when I saw the video...this video is like clickbait. I've poured lots of these all by myself...no help, only me. I've poured lots of large areas of concrete alone...if patios, I always get a line pump for fast placing. Some guys don't know how to work with concrete...meaning fast and efficient. Stay strong brother.

    Been there before seems like any thing poured 4 pm or later with a trowel finish goes into the wee hours. Had one commercial job with many side walks and patio`s ,we would pour about 9 am and couldn`t even dream about finishing anything until midnight. Due to specs on the job the engineer tried to make new recipe`s to no avail and it was july.

  • @graysconcrete135
    @graysconcrete1352 жыл бұрын

    I think they had just recently cut the concrete is why it was so wet. And yeah on jobs like this where they're basically renting the pump for a service I typically don't touch the hose I was just being generous this day lol. On my own jobs the hose are all me lol. With so many twist and turns someone has to keep an eye on the hose to make sure they aren't kinked.
