BAG MIX? YOU ARE KILLING YOURSELF
hi I stay in LA how much would you charge for a lay a 14×14 concrete slab?
Where is the reo?
What were the bolts for?
How many yards of concrete is this? And did you have a concrete truck or mix the bags yourself?
do you guys ever use plastic??it's code here,what state you from,just curious..I do know each state is different from what and how the codes are and how people do things also.
4500psi on a shed but not a driveway were there is gunna be a big piece of equipment…???
Here in Texas we out rebar in footings and on top. we also put plastic down to keep concrete from sweating. we need structure footings ss well
do you think you could of done this by yourself? im not a troll.. this is a serious question
i thought it came out perfect..
quick question: i'm currently getting a 13×8-4" 3000 psi patio extension with 8×12 footing and 1 #5 rebar all around , the guys just came by, removed the grass, dirt and formed the box, but i noticed the soil was not compacted ( i live in FL and this soil is soft) should i mention that or is okay to pour on top of soil like that ( using a vapor barrier ) ? thank you
Sounds like pretty good experience to me
Well my uncle has poured concrete for 45 years, my dad for 40 years and I myself for 15.
I was just stateting that having the slab even makes it stronger, which is why you fine grade before you pour, now concrete where we are at is 135 a yard. Gravel is cheaper. also you can get rebar fairly reasonable, it's probably cheaper than the fiber mesh. I'm not knocking the way you do it. Just stateing my professional opinion.
I'm with a lot of people on this. You think you'd use a base and have it all the same thickness. 4 1/2 inches all they way to 6. sounds like a waste of concrete. Also why not put rebar in it. if you've ever broken up concrete with rebar in it vs fiber mesh there is a big difference. But that's just my opinion.
Thanks for this video. Quick question – why no rebar?
if it cracks and seperates as you suggest.
would you be willing to put abandoned simple wager on it let's $2,000.00
If you would like to make easy money we can put the money in a seperate neutral party account and if the concrete does as you suggest within say 5 years you will earn $2000.00
if the concrete doesn't crack and seperate I will earn $2,000.00
put your money where your mouth is another words or don't speak.
Thanks for the informative video – i was wondering why some people cover the soil with gravel or sand before pouring the concrete? … in fact i have seen some people covered the ground surface with plastic bags and poured concrete right over it. But it appears you have skipped that step. Is it unnecessary? Any feed back would be appreciate it.
6" floating slab for a shed w/ no rebar or mesh. Plenty strong. In cold weather country it can lift and settle as a unit.
u guys r funny all the comments and that's a lot of bleed water
Where I live they require a rat wall.
why no gravel base?

no rebar needed for 12' x 12' and smaller.
I plan to build a 12×12 little shed… Should I use rebar or no? I'm in NC if that's important
Thanks
for noticing.
It's a simple thing so why not.
I'm impressed I wish builders were as concerned with getting things square as you are haha.
40 bags 80 lbs each.
450p psi
Thank you for great videos. How many concrete mixes were used?
what did this cost the customer
6" deep is good.
I think the psi is what you need to focus on. I would go with a 4500 psi.
