Will This Dry Pour Concrete Slab work for our next project?
Dry pour has been blowing up youtube so we had to try this method out for ourselves.

Your homestead is such a happy place. Pretty flowers, fun animals, green and shady, and off grid. What a great place to spend a day and just chill. And Katie was right!! LoL

@roberthughes2665 Месяц назад

Concrete is amazingly porous....for good or bad. You would need to spray it some to help with curing even on a wet pour. It will absorb a lot of moisture out of the ground too

@racebanning6390 Месяц назад

Ya, forgot to mention Greg... always soak that base material. So the ground dont sponge the concrete water out. 👍👍

@rexxanderson1016 Месяц назад

It’s like this, we specify a hard steel trowel finish on our Flatwork, run a machine over it and make it shine almost like a mirror and then it can stand up to a warehouse floor scenario. All just by adding water first. And don’t forget to add pure grout to the bags of concrete just a coffee can per bag of concrete out of a 94 pound bag of Portland grout otherwise it won’t set up for two days just a coffee can does it

@juliestrother167 Месяц назад

Steven is gorgeous and so tiny ❤. Hinto never let's him out of his sight, first class babysitter there!. Nice job of the dry pour, very little touch up to do. Well done guys xx❤

@flowerstone Месяц назад

I will say that a wet pour is the same handling of the bags. Mixer can be inside the forms so no wheelbarrow. Screeding and Troweling is the same. The plus is you can strip forms same day as it was poured and build on it the next day. And I use rebar on all my slabs. So for the work I’m for standard pour. 😊

@1944chevytruck Месяц назад

hmmm.....It is important to keep in mind that dry-pour concrete may not offer the same level of strength and durability as wet-mix concrete. Dry-pour concrete can also be more prone to cracking and shrinkage, which can lead to structural issues and the need for costly repairs over time.

Congratulation on getting that done and I look forward to the next one, where I'm sure you will be building the power building. Have a great week you two. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

@racebanning6390 Месяц назад

Awesome!!👍Ive looked at dry pours, not traditional, but hey, it worked. Ive poured a ton of house and garage slabs when i worked with my Pops building houses. Tips for All concrete projects. Get 2 tools. 1 for the corners, 1 for the smooth finish. Its fun putting a finish on in the afternoon... Always cure as long as possible. a slow cure is actually stronger. The next morning you could spray and Tarp over and over for 3-7 days. Then take forms off. But starting with base, pack, steel and wire, Absolutely the best way for Home projects. Congrats yooz all, Steven is a Funny guy😁🤙🤙Be blessed youngsters. 🙏🙏🙏

Good video! I'll be interested to learn how you will keep your batteries above 0 degrees C - 32 degrees F during the winter...since you can't charge below that temperature. I'm off grid on solar and am considering moving my system out of the house and into a shed....but I likely need to provide some kind of low wattage heating pads, insulated cabinet...or something.

Today was a milestone for all of us! You poured your first Dry Slab and it turned out AMAZING, and I edited my first RU-vid video for our own channel, and IT turned out about as well as you would expect. Music volume all over the place, quickie intro title, and no real other editing other than speeding it up to 5 to keep from boring folks to death. It really makes me appreciate all of the hard work you have to put into your own videos to make them look so professional. I'd love to see a video from you about how you go about making and editing your own videos. I really need some inspiration, and I figured why not go to one of the best channels on here to learn more.

@flowerstone Месяц назад

Road base isn’t usually such fine rock. When I built my driveway (240’) we used pit run. Basically 6”- . Then 3/4”- on top after packing. Hasn’t moved or sunk in 43 years. Dump trucks, well rigs, and dump trucks have not affected it. People seem to put a much too small of rock on top of dirt or sandy soil. Bad idea. 😊

Are you planning to heat and cool the building for the lithium batteries. Ambition Strikes channel installed a Mr. Cool on their power shipping container. Lithium batteries have a temperature range that they can be used in and another temperature range that they can be charged in. They can't operate in freezing temperatures and if you charge them below zero deg C you can permanently damage them.

@leon-wk1dq Месяц назад

Great videos guys, not a fan of dry pour concrete but if I was going to do it I would wet the area down till it's very wet, when concrete dries the water comes up thru concrete not down thru it and wet it down again when you get the layer of your reinforcement down, keep up the good work!!!
