Just finished my 10 foot wide 5 foot tall double drive gates after watching one of you videos on building your own. Saved me an absolute fortune! Said to my son this morning about building my own custom built shed/workshop and then I find this video. Awsome. Bloody good job Sir and thanks for the tips so far 👍

Good effort, hardest thing is time difference of mix . I done a larger workshop mixing ourselves and it a long job waiting for last poured to harden off . Decent floor in a shed makes it more useful, be useful work area and reliable storage for decades to come . Great to see the dog the girls and the cat willing lend a hand and paw lol .

Great work. Just finished my new man cave shed. Started of with a basic timber frame idea. That soon escalated to block wall, coloured render and grp roof, just have epoxy floor to put down now. Went with 2 part Watco floor paint from their basics range. I had used 1 part garage floor paint before and so much has peeled despite loads of prep was not going down that route again

@clivewilliams14064 жыл бұрын
Its good to see some semblance of good building practice, even though its a shed Ideally, the slab should have been poured before the wall were erected but this shows how to do it when the walls are existing. Some light gauge mesh might have been useful in controlling any cracking but your mix was not overly wet and the area small, so that shrinkage ought to be minimal, there is a good chance the slab will remain in good condition. It will require an anti-dusting agent to seal the surface and prevent too much wear. Along with various bodies (literally) holding up motorway bridges, I bet there are some little folk under daddy's shed slab!!!! lol

My uncle took me on a big tiling job in a university when I was young. Different trades from all over the country were present. He was levelling off a large base, his old knees in agony. Asked me to get a couple of buckets of water or something and I sprang into action, walking straight over his lovely fresh mortar. A mixture of laughter and daggers directed at me. 🙈

Would it have been easier to rough arse the slab in and not bother with the bob on finish then pour self levelling compound to finish it?

This is being used for metal work and blacksmithing so possibly not durable enough to have self levelling. Plus self levelling would have cost more than the whole slab anyway.

@TheRestorationCouple4 жыл бұрын
For 1m3 yes. You usually have to pay for 50% of the empty part of the load so would have been more. Like I said, any more than this I would have but with this particular project and the location it’s in, mixing made sense. Most of the work is floating and troweling so that bit takes the same time.
