Pouring a concrete slab for a new garage 

I have never seen a trailer like that! There was some serious engineering in it!

I could sit here for hours watching Andrew's videos. Wait a minute, I AM sitting here watching video after video! Keep up the good work. Caring, planning ahead, attention to detail, it's all good.

i do concrete flat work for a living, im not going to be that guy that says "do it this way next time" it was cool to see a vastly different approach to pouring out a slab! nice work and way to get the job done!

That drone outro was just amazing!!

I fitted a thumb on my mini digger after seeing yours Its best thing since sliced bread 👍

Nice job and a lot of work. I would have used a wet screed in the middle. I also used to cob up a vibrating screed by fastening a pencil vibrator to a 2x6.

Drew you're the man. You are surgical with your equipment.

Andrew, You knowledge and skill are wonderful to see in action. I am impressed with your energy as well! Please keep the videos coming! It is a great service!

That trailer for the shed was sick. Never saw anything like that before.

doesnt walking on it while pouring push the mesh down? thank you so much 4 all the great vids, rik

Andrew, you do it ALL , the right music and the speedup sequences and it is FUN to watch you do stuff and we learn....right to the END aerial shot !

as a doo it your selfer I applaud him.. he didnt take the fancy test, he didnt spend thousands to hire a contractor, and will learn from every job as self taught people do.. the enjoyment of doing it yourself feel worth the flaws you may find.. it feels good to DIY

That shed trailer is pretty a pretty cool little trailer!

Ciao Andrew. I forgot about your concrete skills. Bravo!

Andrew if you will get an edger and go around the edge of your concrete slab it will keep the edge from breaking and being ruff.

So nice to see in your follow-up video how well this held up. Our ground here in southern Oregon is not as rocky, very wet so we have lots of settling that strains everything. Nice to see an expert in upper New York terroir. Its all about the whole picture.

Great job. I enjoyed it. Thanks for posting Andrew.

If you get a mixer that has a tight slump like that on initial start and you ordered a 5 inch slump it generally means that the driver either did not slump it correctly or it was batched with dry aggregate which is not good for the concrete or you nice job though I was a mixer driver and batcher for fifteen years

Glad I watched to the end. That trailer shift left and right caught my eye. I used to back three trailers loaded with cargo at the airport into a tight space. Used the heavy forklift to shift the trailers left or right lol.

i like your attention to detail customer like that , always looking forward to your new videos, great job

First time I've ever seen a magical levitating trailer, that was cool.

I thought all the organic supposed to be removed before pouring the slab right??

I love the expanse views of the forest, so beautiful and peaceful.

thanks for sharing Andrew

Love those front discharge mixers you have in the USA. Smart!

F the slab. Did you SEE THAT TRAILER? Awesome!

As a CDL Driver, I must say I am impressed with the drivers out there who haul structures to job sites. No two jobs site ls are ever the same. Plus, learning to back up a trailer like that is an aquired skill by itself.

Don't remember seeing this 1st time round. Still as good though. Don't know why but its really cool watching a base being laid down, I always enjoy seeing that. The owners must be delighted with the work, hope so. Thanks :)

Glad you showed the roads at the end! I thought it might have been a a quiet secluded place!

Nice job Andrew as always

Always fun watching you do a job .

amazing work! helped me a lot with my garage! thank you!

There is a lot to be learned from the discussion in some of the more detailed and informative comments. Thanks to the authors of those comments, and to Mr. Camarata for providing a basis for the more informed comments with his post.

that's a cool trailer, this isn't for everyone but when pouring concrete, if you have some left over fill 5 or 10 litre buckets with it and pour into rubbish bags, one bucket per bag, tie a knot in it and leave it on level ground, you end up with stepping stones.

It’s Called, Getting it Done👍👍👍 Garage will last your life time👍. Great job, Andrew!

Oh Snap I just realized this is the first Video that I first discovered your Channel and Work so many years ago. Keep up the great content and smart work.

Nice job! I had a dude build a slab for my garage. About an hour after he left for the day, a herd of deer walked through it...

Please start screeting your concrete before you bow float it works the concrete down especially on the edges which makes it easier for a better finish without ripples it's more work but the end results are way better

Pretty cool prefab garage. drop and ready to go AWESOME

I would like to see you use a screed and a hand float and some height sticks.use an edger on the sides and clean the form as you edge

Nice work mate 👊🇦🇺

Omg this was mesmerizing, great choice in music unusual lot location.

Andrew's videos never cease to entrance!

Nice job, still catching up, thought I has seen most. The screeding looked tricky with the leaves !

Wow..... You have a lot of subscribers, but I can't imagine why? This is only the second video of yours I have watched, and your overall concrete work leaves a lot to be desired. Looking at those bullfloat marks every day would drive me crazy.

fastest garage “build” I’ve ever seen!

Andrew, You are truly an artist with every machine you drive. It is amazing to watch your work created before my eyes. I also love the way your dog sticks with you and knows when to get out of your way. Reminds me of a German Shepard I had for years until cancer took him away.

Awesome job, love the shots with that drone, well done.

good job man

I think you did a great job. to many youtube out of work inspectors & builders on here. Great Job Andrew !

Perfect job, Andrew !!!

Love your work. Another great job.

That trailer though!!! Pivot left and right without moving the truck. I need one of those!

The last shot plus the music made me feel I was watching the ending to some horror movie lol

Great job mate , enjoyed the video .

Nice work...I like how one screed across on one side then the floater takes it from there. Skill.

That shed trailer is really cool how it can move around

Beautiful job, especially on the pad and hats off to the shed delivery guy!!

Great video! You covered from the beginning to the end. Most other videos don't do that.

Great scenery

I cant seem to find anyone where i live that can do a halfway decent job on anything.......apparently they are all trolling people doing it themselves on you tube. Now I know!! Looks great to me, I'd be totally happy with it!

My neighbor had a contractor do this same exact thing. Never removed grass just dumped Stone and formed. Poured 6" of concrete and left. After winter he called me to come see his pad, which I did and I was just shocked to see it cracked and parts sunk. He ended up explaining how the inspector told him it would be fine. Along with the contractor. Of course the contractor went by the engineers plans so he said. I ended up cleaning up the mess and starting over. Which cost him more but I explained that he got what he paid for. Now he has a nice pad with a 24x30 garage on. And is extremely happy with me for steering him in the right direction. If my reps on the line then it gets done right, even if in the end I only brake even on it at least my reputation is still good. To me I'd rather save my reputation then cut corners. Not trying to sound like a dick trust me. I like the work you do, and you are an excellent operator. I know what its like to deal customers that want the best but only want to spend peanuts to get it. Lol

WOW! A trailer with a stern thruster! What a cool idea and a Labor saving device to boot.

this is like painting autos. many know how while sitting on cans watching you do it.

Awesome video but that garage floor looked real real rough and lots of leaves were troweled into it

That trailer was BADAZZ !!! Who ever invented that thing, knew exactly what they wanted and probably had it sketched out for blueprints. Amazing how great it set that shed or garage.

Your videos are fantastic, thanks.

High end concrete work!!! Very high end Garage!!! Highest level of music!!! Owner clearly wanted a secure place to park his Pinto, or his wife's Pacer...

4:18 wasn't it better to remove the top layer of the earth first? And then sprinkle these pebbles?

Nicely done !

A good job well done top man 🇬🇧🇺🇸

You said screw the screeding halfway through and started with the fresno lol

Shouldnt you remove topsoil along with the grass then put rock,sand,or gravel down.

The rock backdrop in the area you live/work in is awesome, wish we had that kinda stuff

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL JOB, IN A BEAUTIFUL AREA.......WONDERFUL

Nice work... I just noticed your excavator has a mechanical thumb...That makes some the things you do with it even more impressive! ps: I really wish the pre-fab folks weren't so cheap with their buildings. With no real eves or gable overhang the walls on that new garage will take full brunt of the weather. You'll be tearing it down too in 10 years.

Wow man, GREAT camera work! A lot of hard work went into making this video happen. Loved the ending by the way, when the drone rolls out and catches a glimpse of the sky. Cheers!

When you sign the front of the check then you may comment. Other wise try crochet. Love the drone and kinda reminds me of Arkansas.

You’re very good with your equipment!

What a strange place to live ...with two busy highways on each side of the property

Well done!

Nice video Andrew, thanks.

Beautiful drone footage at the end 👍

Everyone complaining about the concrete, it's just a garage, not a 4 bedroom bungalow, it's more than adequate for that purpose . . I swear, if the world ever needed an expert, they would be found in the youtube comments..

Got the shirts, thanks Luv em ! you always do a good job, must say ! What’s the fabric you laid down ? Damn those leaves 🍁

You needed some wooden stakes around the outside to keep your walls in line. I would have made it deeper around the edges for a floating footer and put some bricks to hold up your wire. Should have cleaned grass out and packed the soil down hard, I bet you will see it cracked and parts have sunk. Sorry !

Oh thank god you have a video on this!

Anyone else notice they poured that shit on topsoil as well as an area that he just dug a stump out of? It’s gonna sink and crack and drop. SMH

All these so called experts are the ones who do a perfect job by their own personal opinion for someone and the homeowner has a problem with the job and never come back to fix or address the complaint ..... Keep doing what your doing Andrew no one is perfect on this earth.....live n learn you can't please everyone.....right haters!

As much as I would like to see some kind of footing and a screed bar to do a better finish. There's one important detail that Andrew doesn't explain. Exactly what did the owner specify? That would stop a tremendous amount of negative comments. As a carpenter myself, I can do one hell of a great job, but if the owner wants a half-ass job that's what I'll give them. Love your videos Andrew, you're doing great work.

Better get a cover on that side patio ASAP! With a flat slab like that, it will bring water under your new garage walls!

Love your videos. You do fun projects

Ppl , bitching about the creat pour...lol 99% of all customers / ppl. " How cheap can we do this? "

All I want to know is what kind of trailer was that barn brought in on!!! It was amazing lol

That's an awesome trailer it was delivered on

No site compaction, ( and don't tell me the excavator did it!) is kind of worrying, especially where the stumps came out. What about expansion cuts, no need? Scary, low cost job to me, then again, I'm not the guy paying for this either. BUT, I will say that is a good idea in garage ' building' and placing, and with that "car port" or shed parking offset, it's neat and tidy. .

pay no attentions to all these concrete experts on here Andrew. 8" of concrete is about double what most garage floors get. And not like that garage will ever have anything more that a small SUV parked in it. Maybe the finish could have been done a little bit smoother but it's a garage floor. Now if this was a commercial garage then I would say it would have needed more attention payed to it's installation. But your not going to get that kind of money on a residential installation and that floor will still be there in great shape long after all those naysayers or gone.

That was a beautiful shot at the end

it's so interesting to watch this!

Threw me for a curveball when you brought in the garage. Was expecting a bigger garage but they went for the parking spot instead
