    You lost me when I saw a dump truck full of concrete. 😂

    Thank you for making this video about the preparation and pour of a mono slab.
    When you said that the last batch of concrete seemed to be different to the previous ones,
    and there was a lot of bleed water,
    I was thinking that mayhaps the folks at the batching plant mightn't have put as many kilos of cement per cubic metre or possibly, not as much plasticiser in that last batch.
    For me, I think excessive bleed water translates to "internal segregation"
    of the components of the concrete, lack of homogeneity.
    Apart from that bit of "constructive criticism",
    I think that you , and your crew did a great job.

    Contractor poured slab for my addition in 0F temperature. I asked if he was crazy - this is the coldest day in years. Assured me it would be fine. 25 years later not a crack.

    One thing I do if I hit a rock screwing up my trench is after pulling the stone out, I toss some of the backfill back in and drag the flat side of the bucket to keep it flat. Then I go back over (just one pass) with jumping jack and this helps me sleep at night. But idk anything about keeping concrete in shape.. I build walls on 3/4”

    Good Job, I had the concrete calculated at 22 yards assuming your trenches were 12 inches wide

    • @srmcontracting
      @srmcontracting  Před 2 měsíci +1

      There was a lot of over dig because of the rocky soil and that's what threw it off.

  • @la8309

  • @AlexeiTetenov

    I'm surprised that you did not put down insulation underneath slab and along the edges to minimize any heat loss.

  • @ChaseSmallCraft
    @ChaseSmallCraft Před 15 dny

    Do you think the footing with slab on top is better then the thickened edge approach? How deep did you go?

  • @scottjackson638
    @scottjackson638 Před 5 měsíci +2

    Great video. Can you explain why plastic is not installed under the beams arounder the perimeter of the foundation? Isn't moisture a problem there too?

    • @srmcontracting
      @srmcontracting  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Thank you, I'm no concrete expert but I believe the moisture is more of an issue for the slab and not the footings.

    • @scottjackson638
      @scottjackson638 Před 5 měsíci +2

      @@srmcontracting But the beams around the perimeter are also concrete, which are also subject to moisture wicking up from the soil. In fact, since moisture is most likely to accumulate around the perimeter of the slab from rain and roof runoff, I think moisture is the biggest concern in the area where there is no plastic installed.

    • @srmcontracting
      @srmcontracting  Před 21 dnem

      The whole garage build was about 22k but if your in FL you won't need a slab like this. You should be under 20k for sure. Also a pole barn might be a good option to look into.

      3 days, after that the temps started dropping so I just left it covered up for about 10 days.

    • @srmcontracting

      I did plan to put it but I forgot. It's not code for an out building and the building doesn't have HVAC so it's not a big deal.

    I got quoted 8500 does that sound correct

    • @srmcontracting
      @srmcontracting  Před 5 měsíci +1

      That sounds reasonable, materials alone are 5-6k

    • @fabiancanada8876
      @fabiancanada8876 Před 5 měsíci +1

      I would also guess that the materials are about 6k total. Then you add the exavator and labor for another 2k you end up at around 8000. So I would say 8500 CAD is on the higher end but still ok.

    You have to invest in a tripod. Your videos are too short for this genre. Record 3 or 4 hours with sound of machines than edit down to 1 hour. Mix in a little voice over just context. Mute curse words if any. Great for educational purposes & business. Most important, place your business info at the bottom on the video screen. Watermark style. Give free business tees to best comments related to the video. Will help your retention rate and algorithm. Make sure your business info is on them. Cheap investment great for advertisement purposes. #construction #education #machine #building #garage #srmcontracting

    A five dollar ground strap cost you over $1000. I think what you need to do is stick to your concrete business neither that or take a few courses on truck and vehicle repair.

    Obviously an unlicensed contractor. He doesn't know the building code / doesn't have a clue how deep footings are to be set. And the concrete companies in the area refuse to deliver to him.
