Living On A Lake - DIY Basement Concrete Floor Pour (Do What We Do!)

#EverythingAboutConcrete #MikeDayConcrete
We're pouring and finishing a concrete floor for a walk-out basement today. This job is on a beautiful lake in central Maine. The way we pour concrete floors like this is basically the same for every one of our floor pours. The steps we take to pour, screed, level, and bull float a floor is how we make pouring these floors easy, in my opinion.
Now if you've never poured a concrete floor and this is your first one, this may seem very intimidating. That's normal. I'd suggest joining The Concrete Underground below and take a look at my training videos to familiarize yourself with the proper pouring techniques we use to pour all our concrete floors. This video shows you some of the steps we take on all our floors but the training videos go into more detail.

Good looking radiant. You guys do your own?

[@mateocarlos2674]

What town is that? I thought all of Maine had shoreland zoning that prohibited building that close to the water?

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

James was a lil skid ish and what the hell james u havent heard of mike day on Yt?

[@MrPhilkite]

Talk about working yourself into a corner! 😀

[@clumpkin1012]

What lake?

[@steveingram5315]

Hey Mike You use chloride in addition to high range and mid range water reducers. I came up thru the ranks in commercial construction and chloride was frowned on b/c of the corrosive effect it has on rebar and wire mesh. Obviously it’s not an issue w/ fiber mesh but I’m wonder if you’ve run into any pushback while using chloride?

[@ringstinga]

Stunning view to wake up to ! Is there fishing allowed on the lake ?

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Yes, fishing is allowed!

[@BobL84]

why did you end at the high side and not start there

[@joepiker]

My thought also

[@MikeDayConcrete]

We worked our way back towards the concrete truck so we didn't have to walk back into the concrete we already laid down.
