How To Pour A 32' x 44' Concrete Floor [HISEA Concrete Boots Review]

#EverythingAboutConcrete #MikeDayConcrete #Hiseaboots
We're pouring the concrete for a 32' x 44' two bay garage floor today.
I'm wearing some new concrete boots I got from Roger over at Hisea.com
My old boots had cracked and were leaking so Roger wanted me to try his boots and let you know what I think.
I've been wearing them for about 10 concrete pours up until now so I've got a pretty good idea how they are working for me.
I let you know in the video!

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

@@MikeDayConcrete I feel yeah its kinda weird im doing a video too 😅 they are sending me some. not trying to copy just trying to expand. u were right about me hitting 1k subs by the end of last year. I made it by 1 day( Dec 31. )was when i hit it

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

I'm up!!!! Love ur stuff bro!!!!!!

[@charlesviner1565]

Good morning ✌🌞

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

@@charlesviner1565 whats up buddy, I bought a dump truck. I did a video on it too!!!! u may like my last few videos

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

I do like these type of boots. I hate treds. I have tore 2 pair the 1st day I got em, bad thing is they say untearable on em 😆

[@patedwards932]

Been watching you pour for a couple years and think that's the driest I've seen. Love watching you guys do your thing. Thanks

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Wow, thank you!

[@doscoronitas]

Hi Mike, I'm looking for concrete boots... do you still recommend the HISEA or do you have a better boot now? Did they hold up well and comfortable? Thanks

[@larryhand7219]

I really liked the comment…”I’m too old to pour dryer than that.” At 67 I hear you and agree

[@royordway9157]

I'm 66 and I got tired watching and my back hurts now too.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Haha, I know. 57 and feeling it!

[@diamoneglass2136]

I'm 37 wait... tf I'm talking about 🤦🏽🤣

[@johnfahey7215]

I got HiSea work boots after Mark Galicic and his partner got them and raved about the boots. He’s a sawmill guy I watch. I never thought I would need another pair of boots, but I still ain’t dead, so I got new boots! I think they are great, comfortable and a lot cheaper than the last pair! I don’t think they’re steel toe, but composite toe, which I need for splittin wood and etc. Very happy with them. Thank God I won’t need concrete boots again, I think 🤔 Enjoy your videos and the important advice you have for others who might need it! Keep ‘em comin!👍😀

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Thanks for the excellent comment John. Glad you like the Hisea brand.

[@dingorun1]

Yet another great video from Mike Day! Thank you Mike from the folks down here in Richmond, Virginia!

[@MikeDayConcrete]

You're welcome Steven, thanks!

[@transmitterguy478]

Good ole Tapcons. I remember when they came out in 1978, or that's when we started using them in the electrical bizz. They changed the world. They stay in while the inserts pull out.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

We love them.

[@faithblinded]

Love the coordination and cadence of the two fellas screeding. They've worked a lot of jobs together to get that in sync with their rhythm and movement.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Almost like brothers!

[@christophercastor6666]

Y’all are some incredible masons. The work speaks for itself but it’s your commentary and educational messages that make your channel so enjoyably valuable. Thank you for the entertainment and education. Do y’all ever work in existing basements? I have an old farmhouse from 1913 and part of the basement was poured, screeded, but it’s rough texture appears to never have been troweled or taken any further. I am curious if it’s realistic to go overtop with fresh mud (it’s about 1” below the rest of the room) or if I should just build a subfloor and call it a day. Thank you for the time, -CY Castor Good luck with the new boots!!

[@MikeDayConcrete]

We have worked in a lot of old basements like that. You can cap over the existing with a couple inches. Depends on what you would like I guess.

[@christophercastor6666]

@@MikeDayConcrete thank you for your thoughts! I am grateful knowing I’m not “hopping down the wrong bunny trail” so to speak! Y’all are awesome!

[@FredD63]

Looks good Mike and Crew 👊🏼👊🏼🪚🔨✌🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Thank you!

[@pdfahie]

I started wearing the Muck boots last couple years, feel pretty good on my feet. But I’m always looking to upgrade

[@trevorritchie2575]

You guys have gas and battery power screeds but still seem to do a lot of manual kick screeding by hand. I'm really curious as to why you're doing that on wide open pours like this one with no pipes or anything in the way. Wouldn't it be easier on your backs and save on labour to use the power screed on jobs like this? What am I missing?

[@MikeDayConcrete]

You're not missing anything. This garage had some slope, we don't usually vibra-screed a slope. The garage wasn't too big either, sometimes the guys just choose to hand screed on smaller pours. Not really more labor intense on small pours.

[@domenicoriani5802]

Are you having problems with the concrete being to boney? And ripping as you pull ? Im fromCleveland and it seems to be like that this whole year!

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Sometimes yes, part of that is the no air mixes. When you add 2% air the mix is a lot better.

[@Praterphil]

boots look good, I've been wearing Lacrosse mud boots pouring for the last 30 years.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Nice Phil. Thanks!

[@volleydave2012]

We buy our boots from the farm inventory. I’ll have to look up what they’re called they’re thin easy to put on and easy to takeoff over work boots

[@user-fx4qz8pt3w]

We used to wear yellow rubber boots over our leather boots, back in the 80's. Whatever company we were working for would have various sizes on-hand for us to wear when we needed them.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

I tried those years ago, they're too big for all the walking in the mud we do.

[@user-fx4qz8pt3w]

@@MikeDayConcrete yes sir, too cumbersome for sure.

[@wangotango7785]

Why did they tar up the garage wall that far?

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Good question, I'm not sure. Maybe they'll end up back filling up that high?

[@mahfizkhan9053]

Great team work beautiful finishing

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Awesome thanks!

[@Gadrielxxiii]

Hey mike why were you marking the x on spots checked with your tool? (who is the dude saying its to wet)

[@RHEC1776]

He marks it with a X to know that we're he wants it. If you watch they'll go off that about 3 feet and then swing around and do the rest.

[@Gadrielxxiii]

@@RHEC1776 I'll rewatch to better understand. Thank you 🤘

[@skliros9235]

He makes a wet pad with his laser. Screed off that.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Yes, what all these guys said is right. X marks it's right on grade and we strike off that to screed.

[@chrismcculloch4887]

I've just learned over 30 years to buy 2-3 pairs of the cheapest boots I can find. I've bought $200 muck boots and ruined them within a few days on rebar, wire, a nail/screw sticking through the form. I've had $15 boots last a year. Seems the same way with everything with me though. I can keep a $5 tape measure for years but my $40 tapes grow legs and walk away when I'm not looking.

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

I get it!!° thats why I find a good pair of boots and wear them out literally

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Doesn't take much for a piece of wire to puncture a boot. No problems with these so far.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

I do to!!

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

@@MikeDayConcrete frits pac? they good ppl? they seem like it

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

@@MikeDayConcrete my trees ripped when I was trying g to put them on no1 told me about using plastic bags to slide them on. I hate big boots. the other pair ripped on a concrete steak. I got hung up on 1 that was sticking up and almost fell on my a$$ , so I stick w the "gardening boots" from tractor supply

[@paulspoentgen1516]

nice calm response "then i been pouring to wet for 40 years"

[@MikeDayConcrete]

I know, thanks for picking up on that, you're awesome!!

[@michaelbrash8843]

So what is the issue with the ratio of the mix

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Seems like too much stone in the mix to me. Maybe add a little more sand and less stone.

[@jacoblill6175]

I like treds and I wrap my feet with a bag takes time but most concrete rubber boots kill ur back treds you can keep ur regular boots on

[@MikeDayConcrete]

We've tried those, they're too big to kick screed in.

[@jacoblill6175]

Surprised for the reply they need match with a light boot like a Irish setter but yes very understandable kicking concrete wears out those hips I know that for a fact!

[@jacoblill6175]

@@MikeDayConcrete love being able to watch your stuff by the way im fresh into starting a business and watching your videos helps me whenever I'm questioning myself thank you!!

[@jamezrobertz8638]

I wish we could pour our concrete as wet as you guys in America.

[@hamosoutdoors9504]

That's so funny that the sales reps are just as full of shit in USA as Australia. Hahahaha 😆

[@MikeDayConcrete]

What sales reps?

[@douglasblack2689]

Here in Washington I'd say 75-80% of union finishers wear Xtra Tuff or La Crosse rubber boots. Non steel toe tho.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Thanks Douglas! Show em this video and try Hisea!

[@74stevedc]

If people saw the slump pouring the Word Trade Center 7 it was like a 9 slump 15,000 psi though. I see a lot of guys on you tube pour 4 or 5, I only do on a ramp that's got lot's of pitch. I like Muck boots for Concrete because I use them again for Hunting. I recently bought Cabelas Red Head brand there ok not as comfortable and nice as the Muck brand. I don't have a problem buying new ones every year it's a write off anyways why not take good care of your feet, my foundation work boots cost $370 a pair bought 2 pairs in case one gets wet. Crispy makes them made in Italy, use to have Mendl there really nice also made in Germany.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

I've never tried the Muck brand. These were comfortable though.

[@timgoihl]

Try fireman boots. If you know a fireman ask him for an old used pair and see how they hold up. My concrete guy used to work at the fire department and swears by them.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

They're to big for us to kick screed in. The boots need to be like these in the video for easier kicking while screeding.

[@RHEC1776]

Who was the guy saying it was to wet

[@MikeDayConcrete]

That's the concrete companies Plant manager/Quality control person.

[@TheAcenightcreeper]

Just some new boot goofin here….

[@billyjohnson4669]

Xtra Tuff are the best boots for concrete.just saying.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

I've never heard of them.

[@brandonrobert4776]

Belikas they last 1 year

[@vjenkinsdb]

it doesn't seem like he plans to put in lifts with only 4" slab and no footers

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Probably not.

[@ajkubik3588]

Why not just buy a pair of treds?? Our company supplies em to employees and they hold up to just about anything and allow you to wear whatever you want under em for comfort

[@volleydave2012]

I can’t believe you guys don’t wear gloves

[@MikeDayConcrete]

I do sometimes. Our hands are used to getting concrete on them so they don't get burns.
