24' x 24' Garage Build - Footing dig & monolithic slab pour

24' x 24' Garage Build Part 1 - Here I dig the footing, build the forms for our concrete, laid and bent the rebar, and poured the monolithic slab.

Really nice job digging those footings, and forming. I’ve done monolithic pours on smaller jobs like sheds, but never one that big. Great job!

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

[Bradini]

awesome job looking forward to the garage build

[Abidsalehuk]

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”

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.

Below freezing is when you worry and that’s 32 degrees you can always use chloride and it helps keep the concrete warm

20k subs, nice!
Maybe do the ramp now…via the dump truck…probably won’t regret it lateron ✌️

[DanielColby-tl]

Wow! 22k ! lost all my channels when I went premium …glad to find you again
and nice garage!

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

[sonsofliberty]

The guy at the plant did you a favor. He mixed it extra wet so it wouldn't start to cure on you, and it would blend better with the first pour. Had it been warm and he mixed it a shade dry, you may have had issues.

[nicksskidsteerandlandservi]

What thickness forms did you use for the walls? Were those 12” boards? Bottom set at grade, your top of slab elevation planned for 12” above grade? Nice video thank u

[scottjackson]

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?

[johnmorella]

Great job! What did the two concrete mixer trucks cost you with delivery?

[la]

nice work how much does something like this cost?

[Footmanconcrete]

Looking good! 3ft below grade wow here in Florida our footers for a pad that size is 12x12. Most have something to do with the weather?

[PatrickKelly-lzpv]

i transported a couple of yards of concrete in my tipper truck i had to travel 5 miles to the site when i got there it was solid with all the vibration.

[metalrooves]

that wide footing COST A FORTUNE! !UNREAL ...why wouldn't you use a 6 inch trencher ORlay up a cheap block wall?? WE overkill everything today because everybody is

[wickedbeardz]

man i used skips construction and got screwed! For 27 x 27 6" thick pad cost me 8500. He didnt out footer in and he short my pad so the building i was ordering had to be put off. Paid 8500 with no footing and on a pad i cant put a enclosed carport on now.
