I agree. I think this would have been an October pour is these two "helpers" had not arrived. If this doesn't show them the value of having someone with experience on the job site, at least periodically, nothing will. If I was Jesse the first thing I would be doing after these guys left would be looking for an experienced construction foremen who wanted to do some moonlighting.

Hi, I'm a concrete worker up here in Canada, and we pour large garages/ basements all the time. Just wondering why you didn't use wire mesh instead of rebar would have saved light years of time, and probably would have been cheaper! Just wondering why, but keep up the good work!!
@TheRealXesc7 жыл бұрын
He probably meant the mesh made of rebar - they are already welded together in large grids, and come in various sizes, like 8x8 feet, in 1 foot spacings.

Corey Roca another vote for rebar here. Cheap bulletproof in my book.
@coreyroca42957 жыл бұрын
No I meant actual wire mesh, no pre welded grids. You can get a thick enough wire mesh, and I guarantee it will do the same exact job as the rebar.... Not sure how the winters are where they are building, but I guarantee they probably aren't as bad as they are up here. so with that being said, the concrete will experience very little movement, thus making the wire mesh the perfect solution to prevent cracks. But as some of you are stating how money isn't a big worry, I could see why they went with the more expensive choice. P.s. Been working in the concrete industry for 30 some odd years now, and no matter how many precautions you take, concrete will always eventually crack! Sometimes do to a slightly improper mix, low spots etc. Well love reading all of your guys opinions on the subject, and thanks for reading!!

#1 Needs to be High density foam #2 Reverse coil design "look it up" so I did and oh boy! Jesse stated that if it gets to complicated they'll go to something else. Well that's what they did. You can't change the layout or design of the original layout or you'll get hot and cold spots in your floor system with improper Heating. The outbound and inbound lines needed to be next to each other and alternate across the floor. This was one item you cannot just arbitrarily change. It had to be done according to the specifications

@Sailor376also7 жыл бұрын
Yeah,, I know,, a week late,,, You do not need to tape the seams. Isn't even recommended. A full and perfect seal could trap liquid water. The plastic is a moisture barrier, not a water barrier. It achieves its principal use by breaking the absorbtion of moisture up through the concrete,, a wicking process, capillary action. The foam around pipes just break pieces off with your hands and cram them into place. I haven't finished watching the video,,, your pipes will float up through the concrete Your re-bar or screen is on top of your pipes, or tie your pipes well to the rebar. If your transfer piping is not well tied,,, puddle some concrete atop,, allow to jello,, then proceed with the pour. (That works only if it is a multiple truck pour.) I buried 500 linear feet of corrugated 4 inch plastic in a 10 inch slab several times. Air transfer to concrete storage.

It can't have a gap. The design requires the floor be poured directly against the concrete walls to prevent the hillside from pushing the bottom of the wall in. That's why they cut off the bottom of the ICF foam.

In their case, they should have poured the slab and then put down the insulation, plastic barrier ontop, put down the heating pipes and poured a 2inch screed incorporating the pipes. Around the edge of the screed a 2inch high foam expansion pad to allow for expansion.
