Concreting and power floating a shed floor

[@FarmerP]

I can see "Toms Roller disco" opening in there soon. 😄 The job is looking good mate, nicely done. 👍

[@Tomlamb980]

Are you coming for the party ….

[@FarmerP]

@@Tomlamb980 Am I invited 😄

[@Tomlamb980]

Of course

[@chucksterock]

Have to say I was rooting for the cat!

[@jakobrebeki]

I just knew the cat was going to make a nuisense of it self. Nice job, Looks good. Thanks Tom.....

[@963dexter]

Love the Furze leftovers dotted around. Enjoyed the vid.

[@Mr09worthy]

😂 actually crying laughing at you trying to scare the cat off!!! Lol. So funny!!

[@mrvanahead]

Haha that cat knows so well he annoys you by going near the concrete 😂. Oddly satisfying to see a concrete floor coming together 😅

[@PalNevets-rx9wp]

Mate! I can safely speak for the rest of us by saying that we'd watch hours of this. 20 mins isn't long. When the Cat stopped and just stood in it, I roared laughing. The Big guy wasn't a happy clapper was he! Jeez. He's on a Tom Lamb video. He could of had a T shirt made of him but now.....meh. Top work (as always) Fella.

[@charliebass9238]

Concrete video? Instantly knew that cat would be back. Wasn't disappointed. Great video mate looking good 👍

[@Tomlamb980]

Thanks 👍

[@1959BB]

Is Tom the only one who smiles in his vids? Everyone else in a grump all the time 😂

[@MattTester]

The cat needs its own channel. Good luck in the shed competition.

[@2coixos]

The inspector cat needs to give his lucky stamp of approval.

[@MickHealey]

Great stuff Tom - loving it. Perhaps you should have called this episode "Mr. Happy's Day Off". They all looked a bit grumpy didn't they?

[@Tomlamb980]

There all under the influence of alcohol

[@davidquirk8097]

The other advantage I can see of the volumetric mix is that driver isn't champing at the bit to just dump the load and go so placement is less rushed and needs fewer bodies.

[@PapaBradAbides]

Cardio for the day Tom on that old cement mixer!🤣

[@steffen1182]

🤣🤣 Tom Lamp scaring a cat away made my day!

Amazing stuff Tom, full time building and all the farming on top.

I am now confident that, should I ever want to put a 50x100 barn in my tiny, suburban back garden I know all I need to know in order to do it myself. Also: nice hoodie. Where did you get that from?

[@Virusviper]

I'm 3 minutes in and all I can think about is concrete incoming and a bloody cat! At the end, that god damn cat! Also, Milkintea!

[@richardcanning7351]

The cat loves the concrete 😂. I always wanted to drive my machine with my feet but it was too dangerous as I only had one leg 😂. You can imagine the mess I would of made. You may of had to wait an but I think that’s a better way to mix the concrete, no waste.

[@HughzieTube]

Tom needs to concrete more of the farm just so we can see that savage cat at work! It knows exactly what its doing! lol

[@maceyevo]

You make great videos Tom

[@MichaelDreksler]

Came for the concrete, stayed for the cat 🐈🤣

[@TheFarmerTheCheesemaker]

Problem with a barrel mixer is the cement heats ups it mixes and can kick off randomly on you and if you have two trucks come the hot cement from the first truck can chemically set off the new batch. You really have to keep on top of it. And often, in order to get it to flow, it’s quite wet. We don’t have volumetric mixers In Maine. But I sure wish we did!

[@Tomlamb980]

That’s North America ?

[@TheFarmerTheCheesemaker]

Yup. New England. Our agricultural and trade producers keep shrinking so machines and equipment are limited here.

[@tjrplows]

Have you thought about using a drill or something else to help start the mixer with

[@michaellane9873]

[@stco2426]

Hello Tom, good work and what a difference a floor makes! From the comments, did you put fibre in the mix, rather than steel mesh and when do the grooves get added?

[@Tomlamb980]

No fibre or mesh just really strong mix and the cuts will be done tomorrow

[@stco2426]

@@Tomlamb980 Cheers for the reply.

[@inh415]

Roughly How much did it cost to rent the volumetric truck for the day? I assume you used all your own materials again which alone is maybe half the price of readymix

[@Tomlamb980]

I’d say half price to whatever normal concrete costs

[@quintinvandermeulen1513]

16:33 I ❤ that cat!!!

[@daithi007]

The Americans put preemptive cuts or lines in the freshly poured concrete to control cracking. Do you do it in England too?

[@stco2426]

The floor in the grain store has these grooves and typically, yes. I remember watching this in Diesel Creek's video of his workshop floor. I'm not a concrete expert and am unsure when these are let in but I'd imagine the floor has to be fairly set and hard. Hopefully Tom will mention these in the next vid?

[@sojiro288]

No concrete is complete without the cats stamp of approval

[@richards7909]

That bloody cat! :D

[@Dalbayob69]

How come you didn’t use any reinforcement in the concrete?

[@Tomlamb980]

Very rarely do

[@hanleypc]

CC TV footage shows a Delorean turn up in the early hours and fly tip a load of scrap iron and several buckets of stone!

[@andycrask3531]

Hello Tom Lamb.

[@Konzea]

I've seen in the comments that you don't usually do fibre-reinforced or rebar. I also noticed no relief cuts and no tying it in with the neighbouring slabs. Have you ever had any problems when you've done similar pours?

[@Tomlamb980]

Usually just use fibres rarely use mesh and the cuts will be done in the next video Never had any problems

[@Konzea]

@@Tomlamb980 ahh, awesome! Love the series

You have to have a word with Colin I think you'll find he's the culprit fly tipping fly something😂😂

I think you’ve made a friend for life with that cat Tom! What did your man mean about the sheet being the wrong way around?

[@Tomlamb980]

Wants to be sideways so the concrete can’t flow under it

Hey mate has it got fibers in it? Just wondering because you didn't use reo bar. Thanks Tom lang in Australia 🇦🇺

[@Tomlamb980]

Didn’t use eather on this occasion

[@cleanmachine08]

That extra hour is everything in a hot climate. Serious question, but no reinforcement at all?

No never really do and never had any problems

[@cleanmachine08]

Love the build videos. We have to use plenty of steel in Australia. Geology is everything I guess!

@@Tomlamb980 good man 😄

[@ronarant2897]

I think the cat likes messing with you! About the concrete, I would think that you have more time to work it because it is mixed just because it is put in place. I seem to recall something about the 3 “Heats” that concrete goes through. Normally the first heat happens during the delivery time and would only have 2 heats remaining. I’m probably not remembering that correctly. Ron
