Concrete is delivered in the afternoon to smaller users. Major contractors with union help get 1st deliveries of the day....so the crew can finish on time and go home. Small users can work until midnight or later. That is just the way it is. So you will always be the lesser of the days concrete batches schedule.

cool weather is great to pour concrete. just don't get below freezing. pour around 40 degrees and rising. it has time to start setting and generate its own heat. we would then cover with tarps and several inches of sand. this will provide insulation to hold the heat in to prevent freezing.

Yes, they should be proud. And, I like the way you used the word, "proud". It annoys me when people who are not closely associated with someone say they are proud of a person. In my opinion it's arrogant, because it comes accross as superior and condescending. For instance, I cannot take pride in someone else if I had nothing to do with them, i.e. I can't be prideful if someone else does something great. It's like taking undeserved credit. ~~~~~ Anyway, that's my rant, and I'm proud of myself for putting it out there (hahahaha).

Good morning from Waxhaw, NC where we are at 64 degrees and the leaves are just starting to turn. You are one very busy man. I like how you improvised and made a tool to twist wire to secure your Rebar. (Necessity being the mother of invention - I wonder if that idea has already been patented? If not, you have have an invention on your hands. I'm OCD - it can be good at times and at other times drive everyone nuts. I see nothing wrong with "perfection". If I were you, I'd put a drain line in the "dirt pit" as PW suggested below, otherwise it's going to be a headache later on. Love your channel. God bless you all.

Add calcium carbonate to the concrete mix to speed the curing in colder weather. Love the on-the-fly engineering!
@colinstace1758
@colinstace1758 3 жыл бұрын
"Many of the problems with cold weather can be overcome by the ready mix producer. Here are a few things to keep in mind: Hot water-Your ready mixed concrete producer will usually have, and use, hot water in the concrete when the weather turns cold. Most producers will try to have the concrete be at least 65°F when it leaves the plant, which is generally good enough depending on air temperature and thickness of the concrete element. Specify the slump at less than 4 inches and use air entrained concrete to reduce bleeding. Accelerators-Since colder weather leads to colder concrete, the set time can be delayed. Accelerators added to the concrete can keep it on schedule. Addition of 2% (by weight of cement) of calcium chloride is the traditional way to accelerate the hydration reaction-it is very effective and reasonably cheap. But-a big but-that much chloride can lead to corrosion of any steel embedded in the concrete (like rebar) and it can lead to a mottled surface appearance with colored concrete (see Concrete Discoloration). Nonchloride accelerators are widely available and are very effective. They won't discolor the concrete but they are a bit expensive. Don't make the mistake of thinking that accelerators are anti-freeze agents-they are not, they simply increase the rate of the hydration reaction. Fly ash-You should typically stay away from using fly ash or slag cement in cold weather, since those materials set up more slowly and generate less internal heat; slag can cause the same effect. To make the reaction a bit hotter, the ready mix producer can add some extra cement (typically an extra 100 pounds per cubic yard) or can use Type III (high-early strength) cement, which hydrates more rapidly. Be careful with water reducers in cold weather, since they can slow the set time. Besides, you seldom need water reduction with cooler concrete since the cooler temperatures prevent slump loss. For admixtures added at the job site, don't use them if they have frozen. The chemicals may have separated."

Your concrete for upper states for colder weather pours has what they call hot concrete a added chemical that aides in the drying process it costs more but the results are a quicker cure rate. Check it out with your concrete company. I know here in Michigan they do that in roads and in homes in late fall weather.

Al, just a thought in relation to a possible problem in the future. Your grid for scraping off dirt etc. from your boots, there is a possibility that when it rains, the pit underneath may fill with water. Why not lay a piece of pipe from the pit, under the concrete and just out, so that any water can just run out of the pit. Also, if you ever want to wash it out from debris accumulated in the pit, you can just hose it out and all the water and debris will just run out of the pipe.

Good stuff Al & Gina... I liked Gina's wire tying method better! Nice to see you figured out getting square cuts on the schedule 40 too...The adj. drain vents are slick... You picked the perfect crew on the collaborative upcoming YT & I also noticed you have followed Ken's 24" staggering on the rebar & doubling up the outers, well done... Bill on the Hill... :~)

Need a tray that will slide under the grate to slide out to clean under the grate it would catch the dirt and other debris, but if the grate lifts out easily and doesn't get stuck or frozen that will work too. Supplies are hard to get everywhere, 😥

Hi from Down under Australia I am 80 years young and have sat for hours watching you and your family build your homestead. I would love to be able to jump through the screen to give you a hand, and have learnt so much. May I ask if this is your profession. Thanks Terry

Loved it when Gina told Al that his organization skills were lacking. Sounds like what my wife tells me all the time too. She is so organized it scares me. If I misplace something I ask her if she has seen it and then next thing I know she will find it. I'm good at repairing most everything from figuring it out and then fixing it and putting it back together again. She likes that part about me and it's saved us a lot of money. The problem is I have a hard time getting rid of anything because I can always think of what I could use it for on a future project. Life is just so interesting. Gina I really respect you for the person you are and I'm sure you are the glue that keeps everything together and flowing smoothly. Best to both you, Al and your daughter. May God bless you and keep you always.

With your radiant heat, I would have suggested to keep the cool in take and hot out put lines separate and insulated the out put line so that the heat transfer to the cooled in take line would be reduced. You will have a loss of heat keeping the two lines together. Now that you have them concreted in, keeping them separated now will be difficult, therefore as you run your lines to the unit, I would insulate them both separately. This will help with efficiency. Otherwise your hot output line will be cooled by the cool in take line before it ever hits the concrete floor resulting in heat loss before reaching the floor.

I'm hoping Al will think of that but for a couple of feet to get the two lines out of the concrete the heat loss could be pretty low. Thanks for pointing that out.

Great add on and doing it before the little house is built was a seamless way to do it. I am guessing your pex will make its way into your little house somewhere to be joined up with the other pex lines.....

I can't remember whether it was one of your video's or someone else's in the past that I responded to, but FYI., it's not necessary to tie each rebar junction with a tie wire. Do every perimeter junction, then every other or every third junction in the field or center area. The tie wire doesn't do anything for strength, only to hold the rebar in position until the concrete is poured. In your case it wasn't such a big deal because it's a small pour area. But I've worked on projects where the specs called for a 40'x60' slab with #4 @12" and #5 @8" which makes for a lot of bending over and tying if you tie every junction, but the rod setters work smarter then that to save themselves physically !! Hope this info helps you in the future.

Yes, this has been mentioned. It is may not be necessary to tie each junction BUT there is no harm by doing each junction.
