DRY POUR CONCRETE STEPS | Thickest Dry Pour EVER Done!

[@Cuz789]

Love it! Helped a friend do his driveway last year and there has been zero issues with it. Had a neighbor come by during the process and told us why it wouldn't work and there is now a dry poured walkway in his backyard 😂

[@CajunCountryLivin]

That’s so awesome!! 🫶❤️

[@chrisglenn2096]

LET’S GO!!!! I Just poured my 16x20 concrete patio and I’m gonna need some of that tissue for the haters in my area! Turned out FANTASTIC

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Love it!! Congrats Chris!!

[@mattmoffet8790]

Think I could dry pour an 8 foot extension on my driveway where the heavy ups and Amazon trucks short the corner and created a mud hole?

[@CajunCountryLivin]

In this video we actually showed a couple that did a dry pour driveway!

[@93LT1RamAir]

Curious, how many bags did it take?

[@RossMalagarie]

I did my 16'x24' house, same size screened in porch, and same size carport. My house is on 4 cinder blocks and porch is at the same height on 4x4 posts. I poured it 2" everywhere except where my truck drives on the carport. There its 3.5" thick. Took over 500, 80ib bags of concrete. I poured them in 4'x16' sections, over 2yrs. This year I pour my last slabs for a 12'x16' screened in porch addition in (3) slabs of 4'x16'x2"

[@iasiarogers1257]

I love how you both didn't give the impression it would be EASY work.......but that it's ACHIEVABLE work! Well done!!!

[@GloriaG1717]

Why didnt you use cinder blocks as filler rather than using so much cement?

[@easylawncare]

To prove a point this way can be done all the way through.

[@Theoisx]

I was thinking the same. Put in pieces of larger rocks to with cement between

[@mybleachhouse]

@@Theoisx We were renovating this house and ran the septic right into the fill area under the stairs. The night before pour day we had a party where the main course was deviled eggs. It only took 3 bags of concrete to cover once it was all filled in with stuff.

[@MyBackyardScience]

Fantastic job! 😀

[@sdslim6929]

I drove a concrete truck for my summer job when I was going to college. I pulled up to many job sites that poured steps. I didn't ever see one that size where they used pure concrete. I saw everything from hay bales to dirt used as filler for the steps. Some even used wood for the filler and sacrificed it. If you used rebar on every step level, and some vertical rebar on the sides, a good foot of concrete should be plenty, especially in a place where frost is not an issue, like it is here, two hundred miles south of Canada. If you are worried about strength, go 1.5 feet. It would have save your back and a lot of money. I have used your system on two patio slabs and it has worked great. keep up the good work!

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thank you for sharing this!

[@sdslim6929]

@@CajunCountryLivin No Problem ---- also, I used a reciprocating saw as my vibrator for the sides. Take the blade out and put the foot on the forms ---- it might just help you avoid some of those rough spots you had. Works just like a concrete vibrator only from outside the forms.

[@mickthomas5162]

You dry pour south of canada?

[@TheGamingDoughnut]

Hay bales and wood as filler is about the shottiest work I’ve ever heard of 😂 (hay and wood rot for those that don’t know that’s a big no no leaveing anything that can rot under the pour as when it does the concrete will crack and sink) dirts fine if compacted that’s standard.

[@gary5172]

Okay...but what form was used to hold the hay, wood, dirt that did not rot over time. If the form is not made of concrete or brick...the guts would spill out over time from wood rot.

[@samthompson1270]

You two truly ARE the Pioneers of Dry Pour Concrete. At least the first to really show us how to do it on KZbin. Those turned out amazing just like your other projects.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thank you very much!

[@bobtribe]

I knew it was gonna be good with the tissue box! Y'all rock, dry pour saved me big time to do a couple AC pads... I tell people about it and they give me a hard time, I can only imagine what you get!

[@funtimesusa6199]

Dry pour and wet pour both work great. Wet pour tends to be 25% stronger, less chipping, and just less issues all around, but if you know what your doing, dry pour works just fine. Good job all around on these steps

[@mmztimelord]

For anyone doing steps this large, I suggest a "Back-Cut" at 45 degrees to reduce the amount of concrete. You can add 6 or 8 inch tubes vertically for footer type supports at the rear. Probably would have saved you about half of the concrete. Also a front reverse stair stringer down the center line to keep the steps from bowing out as they did a little. Great job y'all!

[@suzan1mal]

YES!! I would totally love to see a video on how you built the forms. We have some steps we have to replace, and I would love to try our hand at building our form and pouring ourselves.

[@tonheib.benson4771]

I loved the look with the forms on it it was a great look for their house in particular ❤

Jim I'd love to see how you built the forms. A video will be great.. I actually need to build a small step off the back of my home. This gives me more options. Great work as usually guys.. What may also be an interesting video is how you determine how many bags of concrete you need..

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Awesome!! So you can actually google concrete calculator. It’s the same amount as wet pour.

[@darrengauthier1067]

Jim, would really like to see a video on the form making. I got some ideas to pour steps and sidewalk at my mother-n-laws. Loved the video.

[@michaelault3180]

Good job and innovative use of dry pour. I would have built a wedge shaped form maybe two feet in on all sides to create a void to reduce the amount of concrete needed.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thank you! That would work!

[@sloanjackson8]

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Not a problem😘

[@un-commoncents2805]

If you spray your form with an oil, can even use cooking spray, it helps the form release from the concrete. Also, something that heavy needs a packed base of gravel under it. If not, the steps will sink into the mud when it rains

[@country2coastal]

My husband and I love to watch y’all. Your little girl is an absolute angel. Keep doing what y’all do best. After watching your videos we are going to dry pour the slab for our cook shelter and I can’t wait until it’s complete. Much love and prayers Shirley aka Country 2 Coast!

You two are amazing! We would love to know more about building the form for these steps! We've been building our house in AZ for years now, just the two of us, because we've done "pay as we go" on materials to avoid a mortgage. We are almost ready for the final Certificate of Occupancy inspection, (YAY!) and would love to build these stairs with curved fronts. Your foundational form expertise would help us so much. Thank you both for the wonderful help you give all of us out here!🥰P.S. The sound of roosters crowing--we have some ourselves and love the comforting sounds of "home" that they make in your videos.

[@lawrencelawrence3920]

Love it. I learned from this. No blow outs, no bulging, super strong concrete. Its remarkable how a light spraying of water will saturate through the whole steps.

Hi Jim and Lydia, I missed my Cajun family! I trust all is well with you both and Ladley ❤ We have had a lot of heat here in the Central Valley also - 105° - 112° for the past 3 weeks or so. But the big difference is we don't have the humidity like y'all do. This was a bold project, but I never doubted my Cajun family for a second. It turned out great! I was a bit off with my guess on the number of bags - I was at 107 bags. I'm sure you are still busy working with your elected officials and leaders trying to make a difference with Dashers Law. I'm sure the momentum you created is still going and encourage you to continue to fight the good fight. Jim and Lydia, you two have hearts of gold, kind and caring. I am honored and feel fortunate to feel as though you two are my friends 🤗 Have a blessed week and keep doing what you are doin'. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

[@diggerdog9096]

I like the dry pour. Switch between dry pour and wet mix Depending on what finish I want. Dry pour for ramps, aprons and walkways perfect for a none slip courser finish. Wet mix for smooth finish when I am sliding around on my back to do auto and machinery work. A good coat of epoxy paint helps. You can dry pour and add an inch of wet mix on top which works well. Try different ways to see what you like best.

Could you use some cinder block under the rebar/metal panels to fill some of the space? Would it affect the integrity of the stairs? Love ❤️ your videos. So thorough and helpful to us folks with no building skills.

[@RossMalagarie]

I poured 2" deep by 4'x16' slabs under my house, screened in porch, and on the edges of my carport with the area of my carport where my truck drives at 3.5" deep and it took about (20) 80ibs bags of cement per slab. My house is 16'x24' same as my porch same as my carport. The house and porch are on 4 cinder blocks. I would frame up a section on day, and on my way back from work I would go to Home Depot and get (12) 80ibs bags of concrete, then the next day I would put those bags on benches by the job site and go to Home Depot at 6am and get (12) more 80ibs bags of concrete and leave them in the back of my truck. I would get my mom and dad to help. I would pick up the bags and put them in the mixer, my dad would hold a board to hold the cement in a box as I poured, and my mom would fill 1 gallon jugs, old coffee containers, so I could just pour them in the mixer non stop. Pouring one slab took about 1hr from first bag to start of clean up. We did all 1200 square feet over 2yrs. Taking our time and not rushing and as money allowed. I think it was about 500 bags of 80ibs of concrete. This year we poured the last 3 slabs making a screened in porch addition which was 12'x16' so 3 slabs of 4'x16'x2". On the last 2 slabs I finally used a back brace at 44yrs old and yeah it definitely helps a ton Stop being stubborn and use a back brace for heavy lifting it will save your back and speed your recovery time.
