[@BoatPatrol]

you should win an award for making a tutorial so perfect

[@PipelineManager]

To whoever produced this - THANK YOU!!! Clear,, well written, nicely shot and cut! So grateful for a KZbin video that wasn’t 80% time wasting piffle.

[@peteryeung111]

One of the best short video for concrete pouring instructions. Thank you!

[@MarshalltownCompany]

You're very welcome!

[@bldriver7453]

PERFECT VIDEO ! You explained everything properly, and simple to understand, 100 stars !

[@courageouslyontimelively4159]

Now that's what you call step by step,thanks for sharing

[@rdkingjaxfla1423]

Damn good, short and sweet explanation of how to.

[@PP-gy8gg]

I like the cut of your jib. Regards from Australia..

[@fredr.5723]

Pretty straight and to the point!

[@Stahodad]

0:40 When I make form corners, I have one biard go a bit longer and screw in a chunk of 4x4 post in the pocket, so you have lots to screw to...

[@bradthenutritionist]

You did a great job. Hiring a contractor it is!

[@cadillac7425]

Good stuff. I love your video. Keep doing more. Thank you.

[@steveb491]

1:19 stake inside the form?

[@Saraqebstar]

👍😁

[@maleeks_world]

💀😆😂😂

[@luifranco1457]

Ok, but at what point can I add my signature, kids hand prints & dog paw print??? j/k - fantastic, clear and to the point!

[@Mackandal-]

Did you cut off the top of the stakes before screeding?

[@chosk07]

Best illustrative video

[@justsayin7937]

What if measuring your angle and it comes out to 5.1' or 4.9' would that not be close enough to 5'?

[@3ycalkj]

it appears you started floating while continuing to pour, is that correct?

[@doronkermanian5805]

Nice video. How about do-it-yourself concrete stamping in small areas. I want to put an above ground pool in. Then on the side I want to have some concrete surrounding the pool. I can't afford to hire and make this a big production. So I figured I'd pour the concrete is small areas as I worked around the pool. It'd be great if you did a video on something like that

[@MarshalltownCompany]

Great idea!

[@natehill8069]

1:18 is he putting a stake _inside_ the frame?

[@BerndtTost]

I am wondering why spacers (e.g. broken bits of concrete paver) weren't used under the rebar to centralise it before the concrete pour? Lifting the rebar mesh occasionally during the pour is not ideal.

[@oceaniaoasis8569]

In Australia we use things called chairs and they sit under the rebar and lift it so it’s about half way in the concrete I’m not sure why Americans do this though it makes no sense

[@mightyconker3903]

It should be in the upper third to resist tension. It won't do much in the middle.

[@miguellozano8936]

I like your products.

[@Cloppa2000]

Does no one use brick hardcore any more?

[@Leemajors380]

THANK YOU GREAT JOB!!!!

[@genegene3348]

I was pouring a small slab yesterday when i got into a fight with heat exhaustion, and could not finish. I now have a pretty rough 3/4 of a slab and the last 4'x8' looking decent. Any insider tricks on how i may be able to repair the initial pour?

[@MAGAMAN]

Tear it out and start over. Hire someone capable of completing the job next time. It's cheaper in the long run.

[@LazyisAb]

Approximately how many bags of concrete was used for this slab?

[@BerndtTost]

No Bags. Concrete was supplied by a concrete agitator truck. You can see the chute from the agitator at 2m:25s

[@techvibeshd5379]

Cool video. Can I use this for my compilation about amazing tools and machines? I'll properly credit you. Thanks.

[@CrazyFunnyCats]

Thanks 👍

[@RSST662]

Ok nevermind..I'll just hire someone😅

[@chadreyes9672]

I’m with you😂

[@paulgalbraith7109]

Why didn't you elevate the rebar? And you should have used wire mess. However, it looked like the thickness of you pad was less than five inches. So in that case no rebar is needed.

[@MarshalltownCompany]

We show the rebar getting pulled up into the concrete at 2:50 in the video.

[@paulgalbraith7109]

You don't pull up on rebar. Rebar needs to be in a fix position. Try using chairs. Again, your forms were less than 6 inches, reinforcement is not needed.

[@cheshstyles]

@@paulgalbraith7109 you don't know what the fuck you are talking about. Pulling the steel up as you go works just fine. Putting steel in 4" thick concrete prevents differential movement at the control joint.

[@luptonpittman6520]

I vote rebar! Not everyone is a bare minimum code kinda guy

[@ardalla535]

I'm pouring four sections of 4x4 slabs in front of my shed. Technically I don't need rebar because it's only four 4" thick sections. But I have a lawn tractor and a motorcycle that are moving in and out of the shed on a regular basis. I figure wire mesh is easy to install so why not. Rebar? I don't have a truck to haul the rebar from Lowes and I don't want to pay them to deliver such a small amount, AND I would need a special, expensive bolt cutter or angle grinder to deal with it.

[@mindyobusiness-n2x]

I hate that screed it feels too light

[@philipskrusso1153]

👍

[@Chris-wv3df]

can't imagine those thumbs last much longer with whoever swinging that hammer 😂

[@khmerjamesgoodness8712]

💕💕

[@andrewcardenas8086]

Can you explain the Pythagorean theorem better? 3^2 + 3^2 does not equal 5^2

[@andrewcardenas8086]

I believe it would have to be 3^2+4^2=5^2

[@Mackandal-]

He measured correctly! Go back and watch at 01:00

[@spelunkerd]

That 345 rule is a classic and it serves well. If you're sure the four board lengths are correct (width of the form equal on both sides, length of the form equal on both sides) then the easy way to check for square is to measure diagonally from both corners and make sure the number is identical. No math. If one length is too long, tap it over with a hammer and measure both lengths again.

[@aaronkessler7773]

A2 + B2 = C2 (squared) 6' 8' 10' at that distance 3 4 5 for shorter

[@MAGAMAN]

Do you not know how to search the internet? Seriously, look it up. It's an older than dirt method to ensure 3 points are square.

[@peoplesperson2010]

Are you my mommie

[@steelemixer3278]

nice work you should check out steelemixer.com its the fastest and easiest way to mix concrete!
