Tied rebar on standoffs is so much better than hog wire. The wire even on stands offs tends to sag to the bottom under weight and walking on it. The concrete mix is way to dry. If you pour it wet so that it basically self levels, screed it, float it, trowel it, then cover it with plastic to dry slow it will be bullet proof.
That wire mesh that is being used instead of rebar never was raised during the pouring of the concrete. And even if you did raise it, it was then stepped on so much that it would be pushed back down,
u gota pull the wire mesh up though. if I did that didn't pull it up in my vids the wire mesh police would be all over me!!! good job, always set the board after u know if u got enough mudd, so u don't have to plus back on another truck. that vapor barrier makes it go slower too
cheap screening is just going to sink to the bottom... concrete looks to dry.move quickly.....you got to put it on little standoffs or use real rebar much much stronger
1 more thing, keep your blades flat at 1st, and the cocktail them up as it sets up. if u have any questions lmk or check out my ...tube you.... u gota cut it, 10x10 squares or 12x12 at the most. lmk if u need some help in the spring I do collaborations and dont charge
Whooooo!! *rings cowbell* That turned out awesome!! Looks like the start of a bad ass mancave - errrr, I mean workshop. Make sure y'all pick a spot for one of the pours and do hand prints. Those kiddos are growing up too quickly.
Maybe because they need the actual building before the floor.. I’m doing mine this way in sections until it’s done .. I have equipment and tools I need to store, I can worry about the floor later.
you should have hired a professional finisher that finish is horrible sorry just trying to give you a little direction if you see what a pro finisher can do you would see the difference

Yeah I wonder how much good it's going to do putting wire mesh on the bottom of the pour.
Looks like the remesh stayed on the bottom…whoops…I hope that I am wrong though.

your doing this yourself.... I love these videos. hey u did a good job on the prep and u r very good w the terminology
Great work! Congratulations on your success once again! You deserve the best as a hard working family! 🤗❤️🇨🇦

just keep the truck square incase u r short
We were pulling up the wire, but it is hard to tell in the time lapse. Thank you for the tips!
@@DesertHavaGarden I know I'm just messing around, I'm not the wire mesh police lol
@@DesertHavaGarden How do you keep the mesh up if you are walking on it as you are doing the level set? Getting ready to do mine.
We just pull it up so the concrete/gravel settles below it.
What a long but fruitful day. You guys personify the American Spirit.

@@DesertHavaGarden u guys did good 4 real
Wow that was alot of concrete. You could set up a pickle ball court. Good job working as a team

Come visit our game room!!!
Why bother with wire nobody picked it up
Wow, impressive. There are going to be some sore arms tonight.
I can tell that guy w the overalls has done concrete b4
Forgot to pull the mesh up
It appears you poured the concrete around the vertical post . Is that correct? If so did you treat the post first?
Maybe pull that wire up occasionally.....
Impressive! Such great things you are teaching Keegan! He already knows more about building, fixing and farming than most adults in the world 😊
How exciting! 👍
How did you get the splatter off the walls? Slab looks good.
Have y’all finished it? Daggum stuff is expensive. And gravel too.
No, we have not done any additional concrete. We are hoping this fall. 🤞🏼
Did you keep that bottom layer of plastic barrier between the concrete and barn poles and the base cross boards?
Yes
Always order 1 to 2 yards extra
Why not pour the slab first? I can't understand this. Seems that all the pole barn or barndo builds are done this way
It is mostly a financial thing. If we could have afforded to have the whole slab poured first, we would have done it that way.
because you pour the pad around the posts, which actually helps hold the concrete together.
Maybe because they need the actual building before the floor.. I’m doing mine this way in sections until it’s done .. I have equipment and tools I need to store, I can worry about the floor later.
How expensive was this?
Without paying someone else, I’m guessing $8 a sqft.
How tall are the barn walls?
started way to early!!!!! you have to let the bleed water leave the surface
Why so many inches of concrete? Everything else I’ve seen is like 6 inches max
you can bring in 10,000lb factory equipment if you so choose
Way to thick
