Wouldn't you want to have that slab at a slope so it drains away from the house?

[@WisconsinWanderer]

Great work guys so glad you could help out the parents. Family is golden!😊thanks my friend 😊

[@FixThisHouse]

Thanks so much! 🙏🏽

[@Zdosse]

Those landscaper guys are not professional. 1) Wood was missing between the house foundation and the slab. 2) The metal mesh shouldn’t be placed on the ground in the video. It should be in the middle of the slab. To do that, they should place some plastic rebar holder to hold it up before pouring concrete.

[@richardmahan4197]

The wire mesh will not strengthen the concrete lying on the ground. It should be raised to about one-half the depth of the pour. Otherwise, it's a very nice video.

[@HomeRapidRepair]

I was staring at that part of the video too 😳

[@keathan_family]

Fix this house is the best he tells you how to do everything

[@FixThisHouse]

Thanks! 🙏🏽

[@harveyellis6758]

@1:34 it is actually not level and there appears to be a slight slope towards the house. Ideally you do not want a level slab, but to have a slope **away from** the house for proper drainage.

[@FixThisHouse]

House is sloped downhill towards the front 👍🏽😊

[@ivanwill]

It always looks so simple. I’d love to expand my patio…

[@FixThisHouse]

The process is straightforward, it matters on the scale of the project. This one took over 100 concrete bags 🥵

[@dougschadel8094]

Good video. Thanks

[@FixThisHouse]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@ronm6585]

Looks good, thanks. 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you Ron! I got your email!

At first watching, i was like this is him? He gained little bit weight. Then i said AIGHT!!! COOL!!! 😂

[@robsomething4435]

DIY? Looks like you contracted this out. Totally the opposite of DIY.

[@FixThisHouse]

With how straight forward this is, it’s a DIY.

[@asus9596]

I liken this to when my wife labors in the kitchen, leaves food cooking and asks me to turn it off at a certain time or add something to it. I didn’t cook the food but to other people do I take credit for cooking the food? Absolutely.

[@robsomething4435]

@@asus9596 at least you did something to participate. The only DIY part of this was him hitting record on his to srart filming a crew doing all the work. Lol

[@1252PFC]

why no wood between the home foundation and slab? How did they level out the cement without something to rest on towards the home?

[@OverDriveah]

That is what i was wondering to.Maybe its because there is already a concrete barrel there

[@georgecrabtree2013]

If you put down some minus rock before pouring the concrete, how many inches deep should it be?

[@djderekrock]

Good jobs as always! Been wanting to do this and run some pvc drain pipe through to carry water away from a rain gutter. You think that would be ok to do?

[@FixThisHouse]

Thank you so much!

[@sarkae0405]

I've seen their dry concrete product, where you just pour out the powder and spray water over it. Then it hardens and you're pretty much done. Is this not a good solution for a shed pad? Is there any advantage besides maybe cost over using your mixer with the concrete instead of having a company truck in premixed and you finish it?

[@sarkae0405]

Is the "finishing trowel" step really necessary if it's going to be below the shed? Does it just make it look better, or does it make it more reliable and not likely to crack or cause issues in coming years?

[@chocotoynk2931]

Man i would've just dry poured that and save tons of money instead of hiring those contractors.

[@ErnestoDiaz-uy1hz]

Yeah i want a shed too. But I'm not sure about concrete. I will use pavers

[@FixThisHouse]

Pavers works too! 👍🏽😊 please check out my paver videos 🙏🏽

So step 1 : get 4 Mexicans got it !

I’ll let the internet handle this comment

[@asus9596]

@@FixThisHousepeople don’t understand, my friend. The DIY part of this video clearly is hiring professionals BY YOURSELF. More of a “hire them yourself” (HTY) type of DIY.

[@S2KV]

The concrete looks too wet still for the broom marks at the end.

[@asus9596]

If you’re claiming this is DIY then DIY! Hiring professionals defeats the purpose. Are you going to record the building of your new home (if it hasn’t been built yet) and call it DIY as well? “If you need any of the tools we used on this video” 😂

[@FixThisHouse]

Yup! 👍🏽

[@FixThisHouse]

Your welcome. Now you know the process 👍🏽😊

[@verse101]

Love your channel, but this is not really a DIY video. This is called hiring a team of professionals to do the job.

[@judih.8754]

Looks like he had a team come in but this really is a DIY type of project. We did this before when we poured a slab for a 24x24 garage. It's not overly difficult. As he says, take your time.

[@FixThisHouse]

Thank you for TRULY understanding how simple a project like this is, it all comes down to scale.

[@erbf1]

Haha. 150 sq.ft. HUGE!! Sorry man, love the channel, but this is a peanut

[@FixThisHouse]

For DIYers, something like this is massive.

[@ZER0o10]

You look different 😅

Haha, that handsome fella ain’t me doe
