Pouring a Concrete Garage Floor! CRACKED AND RAISED! 

I skip through most of the videos I watch for one reason or another. You narration really keeps me involved in your projects and videos. Looks good. Cool video, thanks

David, your videos keep getting better and better. I like how you have the sound of the trowel and the music in the background.

I have never built any foundations or curbing. I have been watching these videos for a month now. I am going to build some garden trim and pavers because I think this looks like good hard work. Thanks for the education and entertainment. Thomas

This is definitely my favorite concrete channel 👍

so satisfying .... it's been an absolute delight subbing to the channel. Hope the week is going as planned for u gents and the days are great for everyone

so satisfying watching a sh*tty old driveway/garage ripped out and turned brand new again.

Another job well done. Keep up that great work!!!

Great videos, a real treasure. Thanks!

Awesome job! Thank you!

Wow they have a really good eye estimating depth beautifully

I get so much knowledge from these videos that I am 💯 sure that I’ll hirer someone for a large concrete project if I ever have one. My confidence far out ways my ability! 🥴

great vid as always

Nothing like ending the perfect day and watch your videos

There's a conspiracy between home builders and concrete folks for not compacting around foundation walls in garages so they sink, crack and you have to have new floor poured. In all seriousness if they spent a coupld of hours compacting the soil properly before pouring the garage floor, there wouldn't be so many cracked garage floors.

Great finished product.

welcome back Tim !!! :)

I always get a kick when you say Fresno. Reminds me of my former hometown. Go Fresno State! My Alma Mater! Good post David!

Excelente trabajo 👏 👊 👍

Your videos are so high quality! Great job

Nice work

Repeat after me: rebar and relief cuts. So many people don't use them and wonder, why their floors crack the next winter.

one thing i havent seen you guys do yet is white colored cement with Brick stamped ( side to side ) patios sidewalks or driveways ....

What dictates when using fiberglass versus steel rebars? Customer preference, costs?

7:37 You hitting the desk scared the hell out of me. I have my headphones on, and I flinched SO hard.

6:50 Love the close ups

First timer. I'll be pouring my garage floor today at noon. 6 yards with fiber. Wish me luck.

Can you use old chain link fence in place of the rebar in a small shed add on. I am just doing a 4 or 5 ft wraparound ad on my shed doesn’t need to be super strong.

4:05 I like the Owens Corning Pink Bar because it doesn't rust

Super

Great video! question; Which would you use, fiber or rebar on a concrete driveway in cold snowy climate? thanks

Fuking awesome

Thank you for explaining this to home owner who doesn't know what is required. With rebar and mess. I had that done one my driveway. But me being a sidewalk repair guy. I wanted expansion joints. The cement guy said I did not need that with all the rebar and mess he put in. It has started to crack. I think it was the cement company shorted us on the mix. Anyway. With my rebar and mess plus expansion joints. Just asking will my cracks get large like it was before it did the replacement. Small cracks across.?????

They should hire you to do the freeways and state highways.

Did you use a concrete cutter to cut around the edges next to the walls or jackhammer up to the edges. Thanks I you do have clay under the do you dig it out and put sand in befor the concrete ?

Hey David, do you recommend using a vapor barrier below the poured concrete slab? Looking to do this in my garage.

Wish you were in Denver

How much does a concrete job like this run? Just a ball park. Have a severely cracked and raised foundation for my garage. Debated tearing down the whole structure and starting over or just fixing the foundation. siding of it is solid wood so its holding up quite well.

When do you cut joints using the tools in this video?when do you cut joins using saw after the concrete is dry?

I always enjoy your videos! I do have a question on this one: How come nobody dug up the ground a little in the middle to see if it was a root or something that caused the previous slab to raise?

Would you guys do consulting at all? A paid service where I send you my layout and needs and you provide recommendations I can use to help pick and guide a contractor? I'm in canada, been watching your channel a few years and you guys are real pros!

No water proof membrane needed? Here in NZ we would need local council to sign off before pouring

So are those edges just saw cuts?

I have experienc in making concrete floors

I am curious as to why you didn't do a couple of things? No base, no vapor barrier, no chairs? Was that a customer budget thing or did you feel they weren't necessary for the job?

Hey Dave... I always sawcut garage floors so the people could roll a floor jack or whatever else around in there. Was this some sort of homeowner that told you to do it "on the cheap" or something? I always just included the sawcut in the bid so it was paid for automatically if I got the job.

Hey boss, do you need to compact virgin soil before pouring or is it ok to just pour over dirt?

About how much could I expect to pay today for a job similar to this, minus concrete removal? I have a detached one-car garage with a dirt floor and the building has a cinder block foundation.

Did yall need to dowel into the perimeter stem walls or just lay the rebar next to it?

Mine looks the same

Was this a weekend job?

Certainly a lot of bad old garage concrete jobs to fix. The lack of re-bar seems to be a common theme with them.

Noticed you had you're old intro at the start

Why no gravel or stone base ? This mix looked a lil wet this time around 👊🏼

How much for this ? I need repour in my 2 car garage

👍

Hi question please: Why we need to cut the ground? Thank you

Do you not put on a vapor barrier

I love watching your videos, but have u watched concrete ninja screed , what is your opinion on Aussie screeding?not as fast as your way , I think more accurate.

Where are you located? Great job 👍

I know it's a pain in the butt to wear a mask when taken out old concrete but it helps... I know people who worked doing concrete work and all have lung problems from concrete dust.... great work btw !!

Hey David. Do you happen to have a recipe for long lasting fire bricks? Or any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Keep up the good work. Always a pleasure to watch you work.

I’m just thinking all that dust that is getting in the house since the door is open…lol

Wouldn't 8 squares be better than 4? As they are easier to replace should one be damaged? I've notice that the larger the squares are the more easier they crack and the smaller square are less susceptible to cracking they are?

I sure wish the folks who built my house knew how to pour a nice garage floor. Mine is full of little cracks and has no control joints in it. Don't even get me started on my driveway or patio. 10 years old and they look like the Appalachians...

What does something like this cost to do?

What’s the cost to have this done

What's happening to me? I actually like old concrete been broken apart and new one set in place and enjoy watching it dry !!! Must be the testosterone and growth hormone I naturally get while lifting weights. The way it's going soon i'll be riding wild horses in the steppes and wrestlings bear in the mountains. :))

my 1 car garage floor is similar to that. its somewhat flat from center to the left wall and the right half goes down to a 6" drop to the wall. Anyone wanna donate me a new floor

When are getting back out to Mojave for more videos?

That makes my back hurt

1st 👍

how much would a project like this cost?

Why steel instead of owens Corning rods?

Why do they call it a funny float Mr. Odell?

Needs vapor barrier??? 10foot by 10' max on expansion joints or it will crack. How is dead tree root going to lift a floor 😂

Is it me or - did I not see them pulling up the rebar? Looked like it just was laying on the ground
