Pouring a concrete raft foundation

My Brother, Dad and I pouring a concrete slab for my garage. Its the first time we have ever done this so we might not have done it the professional way but its turned out pretty darn good. There's no narration or anything, just a whole hours worth of work but it might help someone else taking on this kind of task whose never done it before either.

a chute extension on the concrete truck would have saved a lot of work

What? Concrete pump was not available? Walking over the installed rebar and dragging loaded wheelbarrows over the rebar grid is not a good construction practice. I also did not see that you cut you slab to minimize cracking and you did not install anchor bolts to tie down your shear walls. Obviously, this garage will not survive any seismic load or good wind gust.
