Subscribed months ago! You are my favorite concrete specialist. I've done only three small projects (just concrete slabs) and getting ready for a 10x27 ft patio by myself and wifey. We have the tools and learned so much technique from your videos. We live in Bokeelia, FL where it is ultra-hot! Oh, I'm an XL and wifey is a medium. lol

[@614x2]

You are correct. The reinforcing specifications are different for different structural loads.

You guys make this look easy. Every concrete job ive ever worked was back breaking labor with a ton of raking, carrying buckets, using a wheelbarrow...

Subscribed. The rebar in the garage slab is above lower basement to provide lateral support of rear retaining wall, retaining unbalanced fill. Dynamic wheel load has an additional 3ft design height.

Thx for this....

Subscribed. Videos you make are a godsend. I'm rehabbing 150 yrs old building and going to pour new concrete floor in subbasement.

[@donalddoty2543]

Mike, my hats off to you and your crew, I am not a expert, but been around many pours, I worked in excavation for years. I never saw a leaf blower on any jobs before. I thought I needed a leaf blower, and have never used it for leaves, just blowing off equipment. Good comments as the pour is being done. Shear panic for me if I had to do that big of job.

[@gregorymacneil2836]

My guess on the various slab specs is that the engineer created "Zones" and set the specs with computer design software based on the anticipated loads in each area. You should get used to this approach as it optimizes materials and labour. There is no logical reason that every area has to be the same spec. You may not notice big savings on an individual house, but on a large building or a whole subdivision, the savings from this approach can quickly add up. I am subscribed!

[@brentpearson4877]

I see so many of these big houses now ever since Covid. I’m from East Tennessee area. I rarely pour for people from Tenessee anymore. Anymore, it’s people who have moved here from other states. Anyways guess what I’m saying is I see these big houses a lot now. Great work Mike!

[@SourBogBubble]

You do understand that most of those that go off to college don't return home and live in the college state...now that's almost 70% of all highschool grads in the Nation. That's a lot of people not from the state, building there if they r new home construction and not buying.

I guessed 50 yards when I seen you start pouring the garage floor. Did this for a lot of years starting in 1970 for my dad in San Diego. Army moved me to Washington State. Got out of the Army in 76 and started pouring concrete again. Here we had to pour 1000 sq ft per man pouring slabs like this.. We were paid $5 an hour. House payment was $190 a month. Good life with wife working and making almost $4 an hour. Remember one slab the guy I worked for bid it at ten cents a square foot labor. We never made enough $ to save for retirement or medical insurance. Lucky I was never in the Dr office or sick.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Most our garage pours are 4" thick. I use 3500 psi mix with micro fibermesh, water reducer and air entrainment (Maine has a lot of freeze and thaw) I'd use Styrofoam if you live in a place that has freezing temps.
