How To DRY POUR a 4 Inch Thick CONCRETE SLAB ( Secret Ingredient )

[@dmadere1]

I just saw a test of dry versus wet in a crush test and the dry just crumbled under the pressure test versus the wet pour which took tons more of pressure to crack it.

[@whitepilled22]

I've seen that video, but in what situation is somebody putting their slab under those conditions. Also his tests didn't have rebar.

[@dmadere1]

@ well a load bearing post that supports a roof with a high wind load! Etc etc that focus high weight pressure in a small area of the slab! And when you can take your concrete and crumble it with your hands that can’t be good. I’m a contractor and would never in any case pour a dry vs wet slab. Nor would you find an engineer that would endorse doing that. I have no hate! It’s just chemistry!

[@whitepilled22]

@@dmadere1 I wouldn't do a dry pour myself either, but their slab is not going to crumble by touching it. I personally would get a little mixer and slowly fill the slab little by little.

[@CurtisTower-kv1bf]

I REALLY would recommend wearing a mask when moving that dry concrete around...you don't want to breathe in that silica dust. It's a major issue for those who work around concrete dust on a regular basis. Otherwise, I'm loving watching this!

[@tinybubbles263]

I agree...mask for mouth and nose protection and eyewear.

[@judymills7157]

Agree, my husband worked road construction for 35 years breathing in all of those materials. Just as I retired and we'd dreamed of seeing the world, he developed lung cancer and left me. Most of his co-workers went the same way. 😢

[@TUGG75]

These dry pours are so much harder /dirtier/more expensive and take way to long . People dont listen to the lies these dry pour people tell just call a truck ... add water so it self leveling and screed it off and done in a hour vs this BS in video.

[@carolsisti7203]

I was thinking the same thing. Definitely wear a mask; silica is not good for the lungs.

[@thirdeyelabs]

Silica causes cancer

[@mikesmicroshop4385]

If you do another one, use the edge tool while it is wet, not dry. Also, cover it with plastic. Holding the water in as long as possible will give you a stronger slab. Leave it covered for a week or so if you have the time. Concrete develops its strength over a three-week period, and the slower it dries out, the better.

[@timhillan5487]

I'm glad that I live in Australia never seen concrete done like that in my life I'm concreter by trade 39year that would kill you how much did it cost for all the bags of concrete and how much for a yard of ready-mix concrete

[@dmadere1]

@@timhillan5487 stupid way to use concrete. Its chemistry was made to be mixed with water

[@maryjscholl1963]

Won't the dirt start settling over time and cement cracks? Maybe put gravel over dirt before cement? Just wondering.

[@Jman531]

Hopefully this holds up, but you wet this lightly for several hours, then do more light spray and let it set for about 48 hours to set up well before moving the forms. Hopefully you don't have any problems.

[@alanhold4894]

Worked in concrete for 30 years and this just doesn't work will not last need aggregate.

[@TheCrockers]

We did a dry pour before and worked great. No issues. I wouldn't do this for a drive way, but works great for what we're doing

[@AlgiereRanch]

Man, this is awesome! We need to do the same thing

[@originalsusser]

Not a fan of dry pour. It's tensile strength is much, much less than wet pour. For maximum strength when dry pouring, wetting the substrate well is recommended. Also curing takes much longer. I know this advice is a bit late. Not every dry pour fails, and I wish you well with this one

[@normanpearson8959]

My back is hurting just watching you handle those bags

[@eddhaney5274]

Dry pour. Ridiculous! Will not stand the test of time. Sorry you wasted your money.

[@TheCrockers]

Haha we've done it before and worked great

This channel is like a car wreck. You just can't stop watching.

[@jeffreylocke8808]

You should elevate the rebar to keep it above the dirt.

[@garysoykin2783]

Have you priced out what it would have cost to have a concrete truck come and deliver it add up how much all the bags cost in and you're sore back😊

[@kathywetherington3766]

Ahhhhhh suki sukiiiii now!!! Ya'll are BEASTS!! Let's Goooooo!!! I love watching the dry poor, I've seen several videos of other people doing that. I can't remember the couple's channel you recommended when you did the dry poor on Shootdang Ranch. I am so excited for ya'll and I don't care what anyone says, You and Danielle work so freaking hard and you two deserve great things!! Keep on truckin!! Work hard and play harder!!! Ya'll Rock!!!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@adamcalabrese7096]

You’re supposed to do the edge when the cement is wet and starting to dry then you start edging

[@jacquelynhull2261]

You need a garden rake Darnell not a leaf rake

[@stephenkennedy9205]

A lot of work for the two of you but looks great. God Bless from your Canadian Friend.

[@jesse7350]

Pro tip from a diyer non pro. When you put the stakes for your forms in be sure to pound them down below the top of the form and then you can screed the whole slab free of obstructions.

[@stuartsims501]

This channel gets so much hate, it’s unreal. I just see two people living the life they want to live. Keep Crocking on Crockers. Much love from Cape Town, South Africa.

[@wichitatxgal]

It’s not Danielle, it’s watching Jason over and over babbling about nothing. People can preach and talk and in reality they are just filling in time for putting out videos. YT is a platform to show others who you are and Jason has shown through 6 years of videos that he does not finish anything. THAT’s why viewers leave negative comments. It’s not hate, it’s hoping he will wake up and shut up.

[@damiankimmins3880]

I have worked in construction all my life and I would say avoid this method at all costs!

[@SharonCecil-l6i]

Online shows takes dry pour 28 days to cure per inch of thickness

[@Robert-bt1bo]

Jason you and Danielle did a good job you took your time and you got the job done yourself be proud of what you guys accomplished together can't wait to see what your building on that slab

[@lindanichols7296]

Is it common for people in America to start projects before finishing the 47 jobs already started?

[@heavenly-dreamsdairygoats]

Nice job Jason

[@bikerchic7938]

Lifting that many bags is impressive

[@virginiacurrey2019]

I would get excited about this concrete slab if I thought it was for you building y’all a nice home or rustic cabin. But, unless I’m wrong, you are going to move that senseless silo on it to use for a home. Do you realize the cost to convert this huge thing, with lots of height, not mentioning the cost of wiring and plumbing, cooling and heating the space inside. The first OK tornado that often brings destructions will take that silo and set it down in an Arkansas field, where silos should be. Make me wrong, Jason!!

Was it really worth the effort, it all could have been done, the pour that is, in minutes, with a truck and to top it off involves the same effort you spent to finish it, but you would not have felt so beat,

This guy just loves half ass work, or he just keeps doing it so idiots like us help make him money. But there is not one job on that property that is done properly. It’s just another bad idea. Crumbling will happen.
