You worked very hard on that project! The driver backing the trailer into the barn deserves a medal, especially as he had to turn in through the hanger, but why did you use polythene? You can easily specify waterproof in the ready mix for very little extra money and no weldmesh? The cuts through the surface are essential, and not something the "professional" floor layers usually do in France, there is a plastic form you can use which gives you a screed surface to level off to and acts as an expansion joint, it shows a narrow white line when finished, I find the ready mix drivers here in France are really helpful when they deliver, not like the UK drivers that will just dump off the concrete, they are more than willing to lend a hand, as your driver did, I did think you would end up with paw prints in your new trowelled finish floor! Stay safe ! Chris B.

As a new subscriber, I enjoy watching you and your Dad work on this old barn. I love the cadence of your narrating, it feels like story telling. Here are some suggestions for safety: always wear a dust mask when making dust (concrete or wood), wear eye and ear protection, wear gloves when cutting the control joints using the grinding wheel. Please note, I'm not calling you out on any of these items, this is more of a general statement overall when working construction projects. As a suggestion for setting pieces of rebar into adjoining concrete to prevent uplift/heave, drill the hole about twice the diameter of the bar, thoroughly clean the hole of dust, inject the hole with 2-part epoxy, insert the steel reinforcing bar. Great work. Keep the videos coming.

Several years ago I laid a concrete floor for a veranda on the side of my barn. After spending hours trowelling it and making it look perfect I went to sit down on a chair and admire my work. In order to sit down I had to move a pile of folded up plastic sheeting!!!
@Rattlerjake13 жыл бұрын
You should have bull-floated it. The bull float helps to push down the aggregate so it makes it easier to trowel and get a nice smooth surface. It also helps the job go quicker.

@ForensicCats3 жыл бұрын
You are going to hate me... your soil was so tight (as you stated)... you could have simple compacted it and put your concrete on top of some plastic... Depending on your point loads... you could add more reinforcement as required /if needed. PS What a beautiful concrete truck WITH A PUMP = amazing... We don't have those in the U.S. (at least I have not seen one). 17:00 ''feeling wet'' = the plastic makes it so the ''bleed water'' comes from the bottom up and not evaporation via the stone or soil below... Plus, you are inside = a much longer set time or rather an ''initial set"... 17:51 is ''gone on you"... you have to really press hard to get that ''cream'' working. 18:30 do NOT use a steel trowel as it will close the surface and may block evaporation and then de-lamination will take place. ... I noticed that this barn use to have a second floor.

back side up sheet metal studs at 6 - 8 foot intervals at finished height help attain an even surface. you can leave the stud in or take it out and fill in with concrete. Not a bad job; but settling as the concrete cures allows for hills and valleys. Would resolve your cracking issues as well.

My only criticism of a superb job. Material under a strong slab is to distribute point loads over a weaker material. If the old floor is dry and has had a hundred years of compaction why throw it away and replace it with stone that will have more voids even after the plate compactor. Know the rules but understand their purpose
