We Tried Pouring Concrete | Backyard Intex Pool Build- Part 3

Over the past few weeks, we've been hard at work turning our outdoor space into our own personal oasis. From scooping gravel to building a new fence, each step has been a labor of love. Now, we're tackling the next phase: pouring our own concrete!

In this video, you'll see us learning the ropes as we form and pour concrete for the curbing, ensuring a custom fit that enhances both the aesthetic and functionality of our pool area. The process wasn't without its challenges, but with teamwork and determination, we're thrilled with the results!

Something you said stopped me completely - "All I want to do is learn new stuff". IF we had more people with that type of desire in life everything would be better. So many people would know how to do more things and then they teach others and off we go. KEEP that attitude sir.

Loves your vids, no bragging, no screamin voices, just calm and low, and the attitude I'm learning :-) loves it

One father to a future father: get your wife and future child some pool deck stairs to make things easier for them. It will help her climb in the coming month, and it will be easier to use the pool next summer with the new +1.

Keep a spare 5 gallon bucket around for the excess concrete. Fill it up eventually, and even drop a big eye bolt in it. Then you can use them as weights for canopies or other things you're worried about blowing away

You two are awesome, as a middle aged man I feel there is not enough young people like yourselves just giving things a go.
Keep up the excellent work, and good luck from Western Australia., 🤠🤠

Hi from Manchester England. Dylan stop beating yourself up and trying to see perfection in all that you do, your doing a great job. Most people only see imperfections if you point them out
they don't usualy go around loking for them. Pouring concrete is not easy, I know because I have a friend who does it for a living, pouring vast amounts for shop floors and car parks. Also the wetter it is the better. It will tend to level itself out and will still set but it will set stronger than if it was dry because it takes longer and stresses less. Great work you guys. love the vids, keep them comming.

Not bad for a first timer. The key to finishing a slab is place it, level it, then edge the float the surface, re edge, finish float and broom it. A broom finish gives you traction around wet areas. All in all you did a great job. Oh yes removing the forms as you did is absolutely correct.

You two are just too cute for words. If it paid more, I'd be a lifelong student. Love your attitude toward life. Keep being awesome!

I love watching you guys because you take the initiative to learn on your own. That's a good thing being a homeowner. My dad didn't have YouTube, but he bought books and studied and put it to the test. He did it all and ended up being a handyman beside going to his regular job. The projects he did are still standing there today after 60+ years.

I am so glad that I found your channel. You two are the perfect couple for putting these videos out there to the viewers. You are a natural. The work I have seen you do; I would pay you to do it for me. You're an amateur bordering on professional. 👍👍

[ianscash]

I love your channel BTW I am from the UK and one thing I learnt a long time ago was never to sell yourself short you did a great job.

[maxinearmstrong]

you both make a lovely couple and will be great parents love the way you will try to do anything credit to young people and hopefully an inspiration sending love from Northern Ireland ❤

[Charles-xqmr]

Looks great!! If the concrete gets a little dry when you're finishing just wet your tools a bit and it will smooth it out. Keep up the great work kids!!! Have a great day!!

[timothydarrow]

You should expect imperfections when you are learning something new. It looks to me like you have done a very good job for your first time learning experience. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride?

[jeboutdoors]

I would give you a A+ because you tried to do it yourself. You did a great job at it.
