#EverythingAboutConcrete #MikeDayConcrete
This video shows me and my Daughter, Tia, pouring and finishing a concrete slab floor for a greenhouse.
Teaching the skills of concrete pouring and finishing is what I do to all my employees.
The more skills they have, the easier it makes everyone's job.
I teach how to work with concrete in my membership area The Concrete Underground.
Pouring, screeding, bull floating, mag floating, steel troweling and sawing concrete are the kinds of things you'll see in this video.
Concrete pouring and finishing techniques are done a little differently depending on who's teaching you. I like to teach the skills I have learned from people before me and the skills I have acquired from doing this for 40 years.

Excellent video for sharing how two people can finish a pad. Tia, is better than most men in the business. She’s a keeper for sure lol. Keep up the great work, looking for some videos for retainer wall’s now. I know you have some just have to find them.

@tippo5341 Год назад

It's refreshing to see a young lady such as Tia giving the whole concreting trade a go hard go...it's a testament not only to her and her work ethic (she's doing a damn fine job), but also to the ethics instilled by both yourself and her mother...so many teens and young adults today seem to be allergic to any form of labourious work...if it involves them lifting a finger from either a controller or keyboard...and heaven forbid breaking a sweat...it's almost like asking them to donate a kidney. Great work Mike...and great work Tia...have watched many videos of yours, and you never ever see her shy away from doing any of the works from pouring, pushing, magging, bull floating and edging...like I said, very refreshing to see!!!! Cheers from Sydney Australia!!!!!

@davidhutchison3343 2 года назад

I laid my 10' × 12' shed floor with the help of one man (who helped barrow the concrete, and then screed it). Took two days (working part time) to form up the slab and get it square. One foot footings around the side, and 4 inch slab in the middle. I've never done concreting before, so took my time to get everything set up. On pour day, the driver was brilliant. Knowing that this was my first pour, he first checked to make sure that the form work as ready and fit for purpose (and commented that I had the forms exactly square) and then wet down the concrete slightly to give us more time to spread and screed it. He even showed me how to get a good finish with my trowel. 23 years later, the floor is still good, with minimal cracking. It was only a small shed floor, but I'm still proud of what we achieved.

@xavisolis2115 2 года назад

Great pour..It's always great to have a two person team no matter the job size. My high school buddy helps me all the time. I always ask help from my sister during the week since she is a stay at home mom and she only lives like 6 blocks from me and i pickup her up on the way to work. My brother also helps me on the weekends if it's a big job. My sister usually does the washing of the equipment, picks up forms, stakes, hand tools, goes into town and buys our lunch etc. That saves alot of time for us.

@diehardfan173 2 года назад

I have watched several different videos of yours. I see you doing everything: building forms to pouring to smoothing to cleaning… For someone like me it means a lot to see the boss man doing the grunt work as well as the finesse. Thanks for another video

It’s always so nice to be able to do things with our children. If I do decide to pour a shed floor, I’ll have my son help with that. Really cool video but you guys make it all look so very easy.

I will never understand how you have the energy / time to work this hard and then film and edit all of this content. TONS of respect for the work you do! Great job!

@MikeDayConcrete 2 года назад

@accident49 2 года назад

My hats off to you. I think it’s a good thing letting your daughter work with you. And my hats off to her as well. Not many young people even get out of the house let alone go to work.

@OnlyOneFever 2 года назад

I never tire of your videos. Of all the RU-vid channels I watch, you've got the smoothest "FM DJ" voice out there. At times, I'll just run the video in the background while working. Not a concrete guy; I just enjoy watching concrete work.

@lorenzodelacruz1887 2 года назад

Thanks for the video. I had my daughter help me doing jobs around the house, she also went to work with me. I am retired plumber so she got to see most of the trades. She has never not had a job, worked through the pandemic, not afraid of anything, and has a great job at costco and heading to manager. Great job dad! and the concrete too.

@concrete4477 2 года назад

I saw someone comment on one of your videos saying you need to eat something. One thing I’ve learned is if you’re doing concrete work like this by yourself a lot at times , it’s good to be lightweight healthy. Have plenty of cardio. IMO cardio is is important for this type of work, especially summer time! You look great mike and work looks great also! Thanks for the free lessons on here !

Pretty sure those black columns are "Thermal" vents allowing year round 55ish degree ground temp to help warm the building in winter temps. Not 100% sure but I said it anyway🤷‍

@snoopdogie187 2 года назад

Exactly what I'm thinking. Especailly being in a colder environment, and not having any posts for a heater. Being that they put a drain in the center, it seems like they thought this out and aren't doing the standard plain floor greenhouse. Then again, I come from professional greenhouse environment, so everything is a little different than something this small.

@bryanlloyd1099 2 года назад

@603lunkerhunter8 2 года назад

Hey Mike been working with my father for 15 year before I came long it was him and one guy for 20 years, our scope of work has grown a bit but we still only run a four man crew most days. When a floor is big enough the laser screed comes out we hire a few other small finish crews for the day. I enjoy jobs like you did in the video on my own you get to make it exactly as you like.

Thanks for showing these videos. I'm mulling over the possibility of pouring a 10x12 slab in my back yard to build a shed from scratch.. and install a small dry sauna in that too. But I'd have to get something like a mixer and just do it bag by bag. Don't want to have to hire a pumper truck to carry it over the house and into the yard. I'm in a neighborhood with starter homes and smaller yards. Anyway, your videos are starting to give me a much better idea of what I'm in for if I move forward... thank you.

@stanhargrove4753 2 года назад

The only problem with magged pads is knowing if they are flat I’m a union finisher and we always mag it but then pull pads off the wall or we pas the screed side to side to make sure it’s flat, not saying u do it wrong ur a pro and I love the channel and what it stands for learned a lot from u keep up the good work brother

@TRUvoodoo Год назад

I've seen greenhouses that have corrugated pipes running underground that they pump air through and it basically thermal regulates it and they don't need to worry about heating/cooling systems, just a fan to move the air through the pipes. Since the ground at a certain depth maintains a constant temperature, it works.

@elamonty 2 года назад

What a beautiful young lady, and so great that she was able to help you. Honestly she seems to do the job better than most of the guys I've worked with. LMAO keep up the good work y'all.
