Excellent video, Jim. I have to make a slab in two weeks, so I found this just in time. Thank you!

[@DIYJIM]

Hope it turned out good

Thank you so much for your video. I’m about to put a EG for solar mini split 12,000 BTU in my garage and I am definitely not a Carpenter so you’re video really really helps. Thank you once again.

Welcome

[@InFltSvc]

This was a really good educational video JIM and you did a professional job, if I did not know it , I would say you did this for a living ! It’s so hilarious when you speed up the video like that also ….. thanks for sharing and God Bless y’all up there

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks for watching my friend. I have helped my Dad pour hundreds of yards of concrete over the years.

[@timmack2415]

Nice job, Jim. I added central air several years ago. I didn't make my pad level. I have it tilted away from the house slightly (about 1/2") for water runoff. I'm not sure if that's standard, but it seems to work well for me. PS: We are almost into pellet stove season again. I need to change the exhaust fan and motor (again). Maybe I'll video the process and post it. God bless, my friend!

[@DIYJIM]

Summer was too fast, good luck with your video let me know if you post it.

Really useful instructions to help us, Jim. Thanks so much. I'm thinking of adding a pad for a power generator.

[@DIYJIM]

Awesome hope my video helps you.

[@chargermopar]

Great point about making support rods or stakes flush or below form level. Makes place and finish much easier! I admit when I make these slabs I do them on a flat surface not on the site because I like them to cure a few days before I take them to the install location. You would be amazed how many mini-splits people are installing here for garages and even sheds! Using the hammer as a vibrator is always a good tip too! Right you are about animals, I have had more than one duck walk around on my concrete slabs!

[@DIYJIM]

Never had a duck print on my concrete lol

[@wendyurban4062]

Great video … I am Going to try and tackle a small slab for my garbage cans !!

[@joumanacafferty5651]

Hello, thanks for the video. What type of Quikrete concrete mix did you use for the slab?

[@DIYJIM]

I didn’t show in the video? I think the yellow bags 4000psi. It has been a while since I made that. Hope this helps

[@daveyboy8907]

Nice job

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks

[@markkeddis2709]

Solid video. Curious what brand and type of ac will you be installing? Are you replacing your Mitsubishi mini splits or is additional unit you’re adding?

[@DIYJIM]

Adding AC to my Garage. Mr cool sent it to me to make a install video. I think I will use it more for heat in the winter. So far it seems like a nice AC.

[@markkeddis2709]

@@DIYJIM nice yeah good idea with the heat pump. 👍

[@DebR57]

So, Jim did you use cement with rocks in it or Portland cement (no rocks just cement)? Thanks for a great video. Have a Safe & Happy weekend and Labor Day

[@DIYJIM]

There was small stones in the mix I used hope you have a great weekend Debra

[@DebR57]

[@Larrye123]

The wire mesh and or rebar goes in the bottom 1/3 of the concrete.

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks for the tip, and thanks for watching

[@sarbteja]

Hi can I hang AC unit on concrete wall with brackets or its too risky?

[@DIYJIM]

Sure nothing wrong with that

[@robl496]

Clearly it’s your not your first rodeo, I haven’t done concrete yet but the way your poor it down in the form you seem like a pro

I have helped my Dad pore a lot of concrete over the years. Thanks for watching
