thank you for posting this. My husband and I were able to pour our own 8 x 10' shed slab. Hard work but we did it!. We are both over 60.

Iv built a two story barn by myself, did all the work from start to finish, I was 68 yrs old and it took two years to do everything. Best barn iv ever built

Good job gentlemen. Thank you for teaching the younger generations how to do this stuff.

Thanks for sharing. Not many contractors will admit, let alone show that for most pads 10’x10’ and under you do not need rebar or 6” of compacted aggregate. This will last for a lifetime of shed use. Thanks!

I did my shed floor the same way as you did, without using rebar, as I was told it was not necessary. 20 years later, still no problems, so the advice was good.

You guys have excellent work habits and conscienciousness to do superb work. Honestly, I think it is almost impossible to hire anyone who does such careful work and really cares about the outcome.

Dude, this was really great. I’ve watched a ton of other videos but I love how you mixed the time lapse concept and spoke over the top of it with a walk through, decision making thoughts, tools needed, and pro tips. Best vid I’ve seen yet on a project.

I'm a DIY guy. But even after watching this. I'm keeping my concrete needs to the pros. Thanks for posting.

learned something new! at my ripe old age. The 3, 4, 5, cool man! So that's why they taught us Pythagoras at school

Superb Job, especially knowing you did this for a client; I also like your decision of "NO REBAR", as you said sometimes certain ways of doing things is because everybody else does it "THAT WAY", you helped your client with their budget and accomplished a very good job without the overkill; everything about this job is simply Excellent Work!!

Thank you for this video. I was told for a four foot by 8 foot garden shed slab I would need to put down a compacted gravel base and then use reinforcing mesh. This is on a hard clay soil. You have made my job very easy.

This brings back alot of happy memories, my dad done concrete work for years, I still have his trowel floater etc. Thank you

You fellas make it look so easy....thank you for video taping and sharing.

You need a longer striker board and put the stakes below the frame makes things a lot easier. Good job if the homeowner was happy all good ✌

[MAGAMAN]

You don't want to use a carpenter's square for the framing. 2x4s, etch are never straight, so even if your corners are square, the rest won't be.
Use a string line when staking the boards to make sure they are staked straight. Use the 3, 4, 5 method and measure corner to corner to make sure they are square. Remember that if you have warped wood, straightening it out as you stake it will change it's overall length, so it's a good idea to check for square as you go.

Brilliant video- will repeat once weather warms up and make a base for my new shed.
