#EverythingAboutConcrete #MikeDayConcrete
We're using high-range water reducer in the mix to pour this concrete slab. The HRWR allows us to pour a looser slump so pulling the concrete around is easy!
This concrete additive is added to the mix when the concrete is batched into the truck.
It does cost a few dollars per yard, but makes pouring the floor much easier.
Watch us pour this 41 yard concrete slab and see how easy it is to place the concrete, screed the concrete and bull float the concrete. All around, it makes the pour go really smooth.

stand out video Mike, these POV style really shine for the kind of wrk you do ...more of these plz

@francisjames57 Год назад

Your crew is top notch Mike! Love your videos(from an old concrete finisher)! Can you give the specifics of the mix you used on this pad? Slump? I can honestly say we never poured that wet but then again we didn`t use these additives today that make concrete a better mix. Keep `em coming brother!

I am not a concrete guy but I am curious why the steel mesh is not be held up at all?

@aragon-wz5nf Год назад

Probably not a good idea to pull on it too much. It has very expensive tubing for heat control in the winter

@aragon-wz5nf Год назад

It’s money in my eyes

@Nick33779 Год назад

It's a radiant heat floor you dont want the tubing close to the top because you sawcut the floor. If you hit the tube with the saw well you can figure out the rest.

@peep39 Год назад

boy that's nice and loose. I've been using "cement all" mixed to fluid consistency for some hard access void filling and rebarring and I can barely get it mixed before it starts firming up

@wallbangerzsports Год назад

That’s because it’s RapidSet and you’re not using the additional additive which slows the curing time

@adfadgaqgv Год назад

Har far up in Maine are you? I noticed one of the concrete trucks said Bangor, I have a place near Bangor and may need some concrete work coming up.

@SamiRayes Год назад

Hi Mike. I noticed that you did not lift (suspend) the metal grid that is on the surface of the foam. I thought that for an 8" pour reinforcement is needed. Can you tell us about that? Thanks for your awesome videos.

@nobleroofinggeneralcontrac7961 4 месяца назад

I thought the same thing then realized he probably has fiber mesh in the mix and the wire is for fastening the heating tubes only

@JDL_2020 Год назад

Hey Mike, we have problems with black/green mold and mildew on patios, sidewalks driveways. What is the best product to seal with today? I have seen many of your sealing videos but do not see mold talked about. thanks.

@tomthompson7400 Год назад

with that much slump is there actually much leveling to be done , or does it just self level .

@brentpearson4877 Год назад

I’ve used it and it’s not really self leveling. Just makes it much much more workable and easier to rake and screed. When you’re taking a 4 inch slump and screeding it, especially in summer time, it will wear you out quick.

@tomthompson7400 Год назад

@jamesmoran8335 Год назад

I gotta try that water reducer. Would you say you’re at a 8 slump? You literally have to keep concrete on the stick instead of dragging it back, plus your top is closed up even before you float it. I know a lot of what you pour is indoor but will you pour that loose when your doin a driveway, especially with air entrainment?

@robertcantaral2959 Год назад

Is there any downside to using water reducer?

@SeanPD1193 Год назад

seems like the concrete is very wet compared to other concrete videos I've seen. Almost self leveling.

@patricklucero815 Год назад

I noticed you are using the battery powered screed demon with the high range water reducer, how does it work with a mid range? Are there slump limitations with the battery powered creed?

@onjofilms Год назад

Hey Mike, how would they determine the slump at the job site if the water reducer is making it soupier? Looks like that reducer would give a false slump test.

@jackwilliams7738 Год назад

Yeah I was curious about this same question as well. I know the cylinder tests would be the same tho.

@henryfehr6202 6 месяцев назад

For high range water reducers should be added on site as they wear off quickly. You should take a slump test prior to adding them. And then do a spread test after super p is added to make sure the concrete does not separate. And any concrete over a 5" slump should never be screened with a vibrating screener as it will sink the aggregate from the paste.

@gregpaterson330 Год назад

I hope that one day all mixers will be front discharge makes things so much easier That’s about all we see in the south

RapidSet Mortar Mix. But it’s a little pricey

@user-fd6sz7dr2t Год назад

one thing i notice is that the east coast does NOT believe in front ready-mix trucks? here in the mid-west that's all we have front discharge ready mix trucks.

@billmahy1948 Год назад

What slump is that? Looks like an 8 inch. That mud is flowing way too smooth.

@wallbangerzsports Год назад

Looks too wet to me, but Mike knows what he’s doing. Maybe it’s fine because it’s such a thick slab?

Why is no one pulling up the wire?

@johnjamesterbeek Год назад

The wire is to keep the radiant heat tube in place, not so much for reinforcement.

Wire is definitely under the pipes flat on the base if it’s tied to the pipes here and there why not just lay it over the pipes and let the concrete bind underneath.. genuine question

Dumb comment, the wire is supposed to be there for reinforcement and sitting on the bottom. There should be bar chairs under it, these guys are cowboys.

@@GRUBB-MUDD wrong, that slab inspection would not be passed in Australia. We do things differently here, a lot different. While I will admit a lot of Americans finishing skills are excellent the prep work and screeding is abysmal.

No footing the reinforce wire flush to floor rebar not tied up, to each his own, guessing owner wants it that way.

@lachlanitis2311 Год назад

Irresponsible concreting tbh, mesh needs to be in in the slab, not on the bottom doing nothing. Pure laziness.

@wallbangerzsports Год назад

I am also confused as to how there is no footing below the frost line ??

@chrisbrann7733 Год назад

2” of foam deters 2’ of frost, the wire is to tie the heat tubes down, and once the heat is turned on you don’t have to worry about frost, not laziness, it’s how it’s specked out, and it’s a heated slab, so you don’t need a footing, and haunched slabs are 50/50 up here, but definitely not necessary in this case. There’s your free education about “concreting”
