That is the nicest shed slab ever. Great work. Love the dedication to getting perfect results
Wow, thanks!
You definitely make it look simple and DIY friendly. Doesn’t seem so intimidating.
I know what this job takes... and I give credit to your lower back... cuz you sure as hell got one strong lower back..... RESPECT
This is an art form. Nicely done.
No pun intended?
Beautiful work - I tried a bit of screening last year and didn't do too badly but I love what you've done here as a professional in your trade. Keep it up and thanks for the insightful and educational video. Well done ❤
Keep it up you’ll be a pro in no time! Thanks for watching Charles

Thanks guys. Starting my shed soon so perfect timing.
Ofc no problem hopefully this helps!
I like your dedication for what you love to do and bring those greens!!! Great video/tutorial.
Nice job. Clean work and I am glad you worked the excess concrete off of the bottom of the pour after you stripped the forms. Good clean work.

Beautiful job. Always great work! Video well put together too. 🤙🏻👍🏻
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching

Enjoyed the vid. My brother and I are going to pour a pad for his shed. Neither of us have done it before, so this should help. Thanks!
GL
Can you give us an idea how much would that cost? Parts and labor. Thanks! Great work!
Dude! Perfectionism! Nice work!
Looks great man. This will help me a lot!
From one tradesmen (electrician) to another, clean work!
This is a work of art! Beautiful!
Wow, thank you!
Very clean
I did one if these for my Mom's few years ago
Work of art right there!
ODELL always showing us the good stuff; much love from Canada

Very nice. Im a DIY guy. Never pissed w concrete. Plan on doing something about this size when the weather breaks. Thanks for the tips
Another great video, Tyler! Keep Going!
Ok
TY
A very professional looking slab. You should be proud

Great to watch you work Tyler. Like father like son in so many ways. Top notch. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks I really appreciate it!
Nice job!! Awesome!
looks very nicely done
Great job Tyler!
Thank you Joseph!
Great job Tyler, good work 👍
Thanks Jonny!
Well done! Thank you for sharing. I just did my 1st concrete slab, 5' x 7' x 3.5", did a "dry pour", it is curing now, looks o.k., but some rocks on surface. After reading your comment about crumbling, will likely forgo "dry pour" and go with traditional mixing in the future.
YOU SHOULD HAVE SHAKED AND BAKED WITH THE WOOD 2X4, THAT WOULD HAVE REMOVED THE ROCKS

Last year I poured a slab for a new shed I built what a difference over buying a shed with a wood floor. Tuff shed had no problem with building over the concrete slab they tied into the slab with the walls and now it's liking walking into a small garage.
Excelente y muy hermoso trabajo felicidades 👌👌

David O, Excellent result. You make this look so easy! PS. very good video presentation, too!
Glad you liked it!
another professional job

Nice work.
Lovely job
Ty
Nice Job!! 👍
You guys inspired me to do multiple pads in my backyard and a retaining wall planter in the corner! Thanks for all of the detailed videos. In some of my first slabs, there are some low spots where water pools… is there anyway to fix it?
You can patch the spots with something like Ardex CP. Then using the same product do a thin coat over the whole surface(after proper mechanical grinding) and apply a broom finish. I do it all the time.
Great work. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Planning to build a 16x24 shed this summer. Will bookmark this video for sure

Looks great!
Great Job!!

Great job! Thank you.
Our pleasure!
Great Work Bud 👍👍
Thank you Robin! 🤙
I did my own pad like this last summer. Got a couple quotes for around $2500 in Canada.
Ordered mix from a company that charges by the 1/4 yard. Cost me $550 and did it myself in a day total (prepped the day before and poured the next day)
I wet cured it for 3 weeks and when I drilled my baseplate in, it was by far the hardest concrete I've ever drilled through.
Nice work
Nice job 👍
Craftsman for sure !
Great how to
Great video. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
You do amazing work. Wish you were in my neighborhood.
wow i do admire your efforts put on making this conc slab. you are making the master piece of the slab haha amazing. i could not imagine if you hired someone to do this work and granted amazing amounts of dollars
Thank you very much!
Nice tidy job ,,, Northern Ireland

Beautiful
I use the " 50 50 broom " as well. Best broom IMO for most jobs. Leaves great lines. I'll use the 100 % plastic broom on certain jobs though too.
The only way to go
What is the 50 50 broom?
@@treeamigo8447 it's 50 %synthetic 50% horse hair

Cool thanks
Nice lil slab
Well done 💪👍
Thank you! 🫡
Good morning from Auckland, New Zealand. 🙂🙂🙂
You guys still shut down from covid ?
Hello Peter
Nicely done
Thank you! Cheers!
Tyler, you made this work of art look so easy. You nicely compressed 12 hours into 12 minutes for this video. I have never worked with concrete, but I want to make my own pad for mounting two 300 gallon fuel tanks. To be honest, it scares the bejeebers out of me. I feel like its a race against the clock so you better prepared and know what you're doing or you'll end up with two cubic yards of boat anchor. What are your thoughts on dry pouring? And, can you come to my house and do this pad for me? 😂😂😂
Dry pours crumble in no time
Awesome 👍
ty
Nicely done ✔️
Thanks for the visito
I was wondering about why are you cutting a groove on the edges? Why are you cutting a joint at the middle of the slab?
Good job
ty
Great work! what kind of concrete machine pump did you all use for your project ?
Beautiful job, body!
TY
From all the concrete CZcams peeps I watch, I like the 50/50 horse 🐴 broom best. I’ve noticed it gives it a smoother finish, and still maintains a matte, satin reflection on the concrete while still providing traction. Other guys, with different brooms it seems too coarse texture with deeper lines which looks lower quality
Well said and I concur
Wait, someone makes a horsehair broom?
Damn, I've been dragging a horse through concrete to finish it.
Nice touch
Hello
I’m seeing lots of people jumping on this “Dry pour” Fad here on YT
I try to explain to them that it’s not going to create a product that will last.
In my younger days I had a vinyl liner pool company and we did the decks around the pool slide and diving board. I would call in my concrete buddies for large pours. So I think I know what I’m talking about.
But would really appreciate your take on the Dry Pour idea
Thanks @@OdellCompleteConcrete
Very cool
Thank you!
good job
Thank you!
Very nice, How do you clean the under edges of pour once you take the frame off?
와우~~~
깔끔하네요.
Ty
What a great job 👏 keep up the good work. My wife tells me I shop do this in are backyard. Seems to much work for me to do by myself.
Maybe
GL
Aren't you supposed to put compressed gravel down between the dirt and slab?
Nice!
Thank you!
Horsehair all day 💪🏾 good work
You already know!
Nice 👍
Thanks!
Hi Odell, Would you recommend using a bull float for small shed slab 2.7m x 1.5m which is approx 8.8ft x 5ft. I have a screeder, a small hand mag trowel and a steel finishing trowel. Wondering if i need to hire a bull float or can I get away with tools I have.
Thanks for your help. Channel is great by the way.
Great videos, much appreciated. I notice that you don’t always use gravel and seldom vapor barriers. Can you tell us when they are needed and when they are not?
Did you do a fall from back to front and then cut a line across it ? Would a line not have worked better from back to front also - will water not pool now in that joint ?
Looking to do my own concrete base for a SIPS panel garden room. I noticed that you didnt use MOT1 sub base, do you think it's not needed?
Would be nice to see it with the shed on it
I’ll ask the homeowner if he finished the build
Sweet 👍
Thank you!
Curious what you thought about a cement mixer called the mud mixer? It mixes cement continuously instead of in batches. Kind of expensive, but for a one man job it seems cool. Trying to decide if I should invest.
They just sent me one, I’ll try it out on my next shed slab and let you know how it works!
I Appreciate You
Thanks for watching!
Good work make more videos
Okay I got more coming up!
Amazing great job. BTW what about curing after casting?
Lots of water
What does the broom do for the concrete slab? Is it just a texture/cosmetic finish or is it doing something else?
Who needs crosstraining BS when you got concrete work! I stayed for the vid 'cause you went to town on those 8-inch roots!
My witch's broom, it makes it magical lol
OSS
Perfect...do you ever compact the subgrade and put in gravel?
When needed
