I can't believe I just watched this *whole* video !! 😄 I intended to just skip to the end to see it finished but it was *so* satisfying watching it all being smoothed to perfection that I couldn't bear to skip any of it 😀 That is *such* a lot of hard work and you guys deserve every penny of this great job 👏 👍

[@harrisond8132]

Really satisfying to watch. My garage floor is in similar shape as this one was. It's 63 years old, and has sunk down towards the back a couple inches. Anyone know approximately how much to redo? I have no clue. It's a two car and located in New England.

[@obviousness8113]

I've found that little steps like that one can be annoying if you're trying to roll a tool box in and out, for example. Was it necessary given the situation, or could it have been avoided by making a little ramp? Thanks in advance for answering. I enjoy all your videos👍

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

How do you like that skilsaw you’re using to cut the concrete? Is it holding up?

[@aredditor4272]

Many years ago, and even today in some parts of the US, deep footings weren't done or even required by codes for detached buildings. In cold areas, the whole thing would heave anyway if you're not going down several feet to get below the frost line.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Yes, live and learn

[@michaelcolgan3182]

Nice work ! I have never seen a footing in New York it would be like 36 inches underground but this was fun to watch . I laughed at the sink in the garage multi use I guess lol. The EPA laws there are nuts Me I would have pitched that garage into a rectangle drain in the middle then into the drain line for the sink. But that would depend on where that drain went to . That's another video lol

[@juliojules8402]

Hi! always love your work! Just had a quick question: what is the advantage of using a wooden bull float first versus a mag bull float?

[@OssohoneyAV]

hey brother, from my experience. Wooden floats help push down the aggregate to allow cream to rise and give a smoother finish

[@mikesmithh]

Awesome job, guys. Great job as usual

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Thanks again!

[@kenkobra]

If you were to cut the concrete too soon would it chip aggrograte (larger chucks to pop out) or cause it to crack? About how long should you wait (shortest/longest)?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Yes it can happen , but less likely with fiber mesh additive

[@Tirrendale]

What was the cost of this project?

[@ivanwill]

Another nice detailed video. Curious, how do you determine if the garage floor will need saw cuts? In my subdivision, all new homes and none of them have saw cuts. Hence, my question. Thanks

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

They should have them if it's over 10 x 10

Good job without errors 🎖 But I am asking why do you cut concrete after it has been modified?

Crack control

When raising the level like this - could you get away with just leaving the old in there?

I find it amazing how strong old concrete is compared to new aged concrete all those chemicals they add don’t seem to help strengthen it at all just make it harder to finish!

[@deluxejay69]

It's not the age that makes a difference, it's the amount of money you want to spend. You want a better mix that lasts longer, you're gonna pay a lot more. That's how it's been for over 2,000 years. People generally don't care to pay more if they're not gonna be alive to benefit from the extra longevity. Oh and all those "chemicals" they add? Again, those same "chemicals" have been standard additives since the Roman empire. Practical Engineering has some good videos on the subject if you want to learn how concrete works.
