Lookin’ mighty fine! That ain’t goin’ nowhere’s! Pouring on bedrock with rebar and mesh, I suspect it’ll be there long after the garage is dust! Nice a nice, Boss!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

💯 for sure

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

Always a good feeling when the concrete is laid out and level. Now some time with the trowels and were all done. Going to be nice to see the building moved over and set on the blocks.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes indeed

[@timw7481]

Thanks Frank Yes smooth operation

[@alexosborne5629]

Nicey nice Mike !!!! 😎💪 Not often the Backhoe makes an appearance, always good to see one or being used !! Carl seems quite a character to work with too !!!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

For sure

[@Boogle912]

I wish you guys were closer to my location! How does this slab do in freezing climates. Where I live there is a 30 inch minimum frost depth for foundations. With this being NY I know you have winter climate obviously. This monolithic slab does just fine with temperature fluctuations and not affected by not having a frost depth? Thank you. My build site is on hard rock and think we need to do a monolithic slab.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes that's why they call them Alaskan slabs

[@C10sRule]

Nice work Mike!!! As usual,,,,,, haha. Great crew on the pour today!!! Sometimes these are just easy diggin, level soil and quick work!! This one had a rather challenging dig, but with the crew today getting the final grade perfect was easy and now that garage will live on and the homeowner will have room to move around,,,,,,. It’s rather tight down there until that garage gets moved!!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Exactly

[@maxobara1496]

Nice job Mike, not fun working in bedrock. Nice that’s it cover and gone bye bye 😉 going to be pretty neat to see that garage move. Side of the mountain is sounding “very interesting “ !! 👍🇺🇸

Lol they had survived this one!!

[@willw7545]

After running a skid steers and minis hoping in a backhoe you realize how obsolete they are these days. Use to dig whole foundations with them years ago. Looks good man.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yeah for sure but it is nice just to have one

[@joefantetti6810]

Nice job ! I like how u explain and teach most channels dont do that, quick question did u use compactor

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes plate complactor.. although with round stone not necessary but I always do.

[@joefantetti6810]

Thanks!!

[@joefantetti6810]

Was it washed round or does it have fines

[@Orgore]

whats the purpose of the blue plastic? is that something thats needed for bigger pours?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Moisture barrier

[@S0CC3RB0Y18]

Question. Is it recommended to have tile drainage around an alaskan slab?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

You could do that for sure

[@bryanthomas544]

Nice work Mike. Are you able to keep your guys busy in the winter?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Some winters but soon as things get over a foot of frost time to quit

[@alittlebitofeverything5090]

Dirt Boss..If that project was easy digging what would be a ball park estimate from start to finish of the slab? I'm way outside your working area but just curious! Thank you

[@DIRT-BOSS]

I wish I could bud but I don't talk moolah on the internet 😁

[@NYTROeast]

What does something like this cost to be done. I'm looking at doing a 24X36 but I want a 6 inch center. Ground is all sand

[@victornaja7927]

hi did you say this was 6" concrete slab.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes center

[@LLImprovement]

In my experience excavating, the wire doesn't really do anything. Just my opinion, your experiences may vary because your ground is probably WAY different then our gumbo that heaves and moves so much especially with the freeze and thaw cycles.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Well if you ever jackhammered out a slab with wire or without wire you would know the difference very quickly in my experiences

[@LLImprovement]

@@DIRT-BOSS Guess that's the difference between sitting in a 40,000lb machine and not.

[@timmymalone5444]

👍👍

[@DIRT-BOSS]

[@andywest3260]

I have been watching your videos for a while why do you put stone in the trench ands on the top of the sub base can’t you just put plastic down then concrete it out

[@DIRT-BOSS]

This particular one had stone all under the haunch and around it That's the way it was designed.. but normally we just put it on the ground and then build up with stone

[@raulmedina6960]

Back ooonn site

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes sir

[@bryandano]

Not the kind of gravel to use , that doesn't compact

[@DIRT-BOSS]

I would disagree that type of stone holds no pressure and that is what was on the print hola! I
