I had 3 major problems to deal with on this job today. We're pouring a 40' x 28' basement floor. They'll be setting up a double-wide home on this foundation in a couple days.
We had to get the floor poured and finished today! In the video, I explain the types of problems we had on this job and how we handled them.
When you're in the construction trade, there's usually always something to deal with on a daily basis. Maybe it's the weather, or maybe somebody didn't do what they said they would do. I can assure you, there's usually something! Today we had 3 big problems. Could we work it out and still get the job done?

@lachlanitis2311 8 месяцев назад

@@pitbull4029they both pulled a heart muscle probably. I think iv had maybe 5 sick days off in 18 years of concreting. Work has to happen no matter what. If you take a sickie you really let the team down.

@craiguglandrealty3705 8 месяцев назад

Mike, great work as always. You mentioned poly under the slab. Do you always recommend poly under basement & garage slab? Also, for a concrete porch w/ concrete walls w/ frost ftg in MN, my excavator said to Not pack the subgrade as it will allow wiggle room for frost heaving. I've never heard this and am Very sleptical. Thoughts?

@peterhaynes3661 7 месяцев назад

I still pour concrete but when I was younger. I could do 10 yd by myself with a power trowel. Now I'm an old man.

@jonathan19947 8 месяцев назад

Hello Mike how did you get into the foundation with it up that high

@daveyconcrete9801 8 месяцев назад

Two guys is possible but not preferable. What matters is that you care. Like Victory Outdoors says "Easy Money"

@pavelpleva5897 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for the great video as always. If I may have a question a bit off topic as I believe your slabs does not blister, any way how would you recommend repairing blisters and rough corners with low spots on power troweled floor which is to be epoxy coated?

@MikeDayConcrete 8 месяцев назад

I'd use a product called Quik Fix from deco-cretesupply.com

@CheesyCrotch 8 месяцев назад

let me guess, Eric is going to be back teaching real soon and the boys both realised this at the same time and weirdly decided on the same morning to get the day off in before Eric is gone till next holidays.

@iowamatt2519 8 месяцев назад

We pour 95% of the time with just 2 of us. And that's buggying everything. If we have a belt or a pump 2 of us can knock out 100 yards at a time. Not ideal but you do what you gotta do. At 53 I can't do it everyday but on occasion it feels good to act like a young guy

@tedsaylor6016 8 месяцев назад

I wonder if someone had come up with a useable battery power trowel for (smaller) confined spaces - so no fumes.

@bdhabets3250 8 месяцев назад

Better get some fans under that house or it’s gonna grow mold. At least for 30 days or so until the concrete dehydrates some.

@user-fx4qz8pt3w 8 месяцев назад

It's 4". He says towards the end of the video that it's 40' x 28', multiple that by .33' and then divide by 27 to get the yardage, which he said was @ 14 yards. Works out to a 4" slab. Hope that helps.

@@74stevedc I know it's not on Mike, just saying that we all know it should have it. Some architect or engineer didn't spec it because he thinks he knows better
