  I've always wondered why we keep using steel in rebar. Like I assume it's cost, put its bad for the concrete long-term.

  Believing that fiber additive replaces rebar is insanity.

  You need more friends, took me 7 hours, one day start to finish on a 40x40 slab. Owning a skid steer/backhoe though is kind of a game changer. had 5 friends over, two of which have poured a lot of crete.

  I just had a quote today for a 50x60 steel building slab. All in $15-18 per sq foot depending on footing sizes. This did not include sub-grade prep. So $45-50k here in Northern California. Did a 40x60 building 8 years ago (Did forming myself) all in less than $15k including pump truck and finishing crew. Prices were $107 per yard then now $150 or more.

  the dry pour is pretty consistent with what I observed happened to a whole bag of concrete that was left out in the rain. It didn't really hold together very well at all.

  Thank you for doing this. First time i heard of dry pour I was stunned that it was recommended to me. sounds easy to do, but imo easy means not great. its like: hey. want some bread? put flour in a bowl, spray some water on it, and stick it in the oven...

  In order to produce concrete, limestone CaCO3 passes through ovens in order to eliminate the chemically bound CO2, producing Quicklime CaO. Pouring concrete consists in doing the reversed process by adding water to the lime. For some reason, water only allows to regain the lost CO2 to recreate stone CaCO3 ( CO2 + CaO), i.e. concrete. Uneven, or unsufficient watering explains why this does not work.

  Interesting video, but a couple points: 1 If you're bothering with rebar, you need to hold it off the ground. 2 Tyvek, really? The only use for that is if youre putting a vapor barrier on a pre existing structure that didnt have any vapor barrier. Id i were a contractor doing tract homes, i *might* consider it for budget friendly projects. But for my own home? No way.

  if you put down 1 inch wet it then at 1 inch wet it, then add the rest of concrete to top. i bet it would be stronger. But never as good as wet pour. Wet pour can be done, in what is called slump. I have saw engineers send a whold truck load of concrete back if it did not pass the 1 inch slump test pouring it into a plastic bucket on the ground.

  I only do dry pour for posts other than that it should always be wet pour for slabs. Also I don't think you got it wet enough you really need to soak dry pours.

  The chemical reaction of Hydration will not work properly with too much or too little water. "dry pour" is fine for fence posts but i wouldnt do a SOG. It is definitely easier for sure, quick set or not the psi rating will be out if wack at 28days. A compression test will tell for sure

  I had a friend enlist a few guys to help him repave his driveway. He saved thousands over hiring a cement contractor.....until after a few years when the concrete started spalling because of improper finishing. Those few guys learned some lessons on how to (not) finish concrete......always good to learn a new skill on 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙚𝙡𝙨𝙚'𝙨 project. L0L.

  At 9:15 when you connect 2 pipes using a Y, it looks like your main pipe is perforated. My understanding is that perforated pipes are only used for French drains. Does that mean that you connect your gutter down spout solid pipe to your French drain?

  I'm curious that at minute 8:25 you applied a pink product. I'm assuming it was some kind of wood filler, but you didn't comment on that step. Can you share what it was you applied? Did I miss something? I just finished my first window trim on 60 yr old house. I added a step and spread a wood filler on the trim and lightly sanded prior to primer so I wouldn't see the wood grain. Looked silky smooth after painting. Maybe it was what you used at minute 8:25???

  I like your willingness to experiment. My daughter’s a lung doctor, “Do you work where there’s any kind of dust produced by power saws or grinders?” is one of her standard questions she asks her patients. It’s a long list.

  I've used dry pour a few time and it works well but it was for laying pavers. I find it better than laying them on compacted sand.

  @pashaveres46292 күн бұрын

  It seems that dry pour could still be adequate for some applications, especially if for some reason it's much easier to do. Would it not be suitable for a slab under my propane grill? Seems like its uses may not be many, but it's not use-less. Or did I miss something?
