I just started my own concrete buisness. I worked for another guy for 5 years then decided to go out on my own. Your video on when's the right time to start your own buisness gave me the last bit of courage I needed. Thank you for all the videos you post, I really appreciate you.
That is awesome!
I want to start a concrete business but I've never done it as a job just a few times here and there. If I started small, like shed pads on the weekends, would it be something I'd be able to do or is it necessary to work under someone?
one thing I always tell my guys is to not let the power washer on the pad, I've seen it vibrate a hole in the slab b4
Hey Mike, love your channel. I've been an underground member for a few months now there's alot of great stuff in there I've been in the business for awhile hoping to go on my own this year just having a hard tine finding help.
trying to find help seems to be a problem that never goes away
That's the difficult part of going into business or already being in business. Keep looking, maybe a graduating senior from High School or someone in a Vocational community college. Check with their guidance counselors and see if they know of someone looking for a job.
Nice work besides spraying sealer on the doors and siding you can see the over spray best thing to do is use plastic and tape off
For the little bit of help, you guys get a good amount of stuff done without a whole lot of complaining and yelling and attitudes. Should be a blessing to work with yall.... Think you can provide a link to that power curing sprayer?
When I saw that concrete stained hand edging the pour, brought back memories, washing out the tools, then yourself. Good stuff! Thanks
Thank you John!
A lot of nice work Mike…the finished product on the stairs was very nice!!!
Thanks Tom
Absolutely incredible. Gorgeous day too
Thank you
Beautiful! Do you have video on how you did the stairs and ramp? So interesting!!
Just what I wanted to do in my spare time… Lay concrete…
How fascinating…
Bellísimo trabajo felicidades 👏 saludos desde chile 👌🏻
i have been trying to get a patio poured for months now. 200sqft. either no one can do it, or they want like 6k for the job! i wish Mike could come do it.
I’m also a self contract, If you find yourself in Arlington TX in the future it will be fun to have you tackle a project with me, I’ve benefited a lot watching your videos they have been real helpful.
hey mike, enjoy watching your videos always learn something new
Beautiful
Your daughter can just quite collage and take over!! I bet you’re proud of her!
Yes I am, very much so.
I've sure learned a lot watching you. This is a pretty simple question: Do you worry about picking up dirt on your boots when you step out of the concrete to the dirt and back in again? Or do you take the boots off?
We try to make sure we don't track dirt onto the floor when we're finishing. We don't change boots but do knock off any dirt before we step back on.
What exactly is the difference between a Fresno and a bull float? Ive finished concrete and used a Fresno but I've noticed some people use nothing but a bull float. I guess when should you use one or the other is what I'm trying to ask.
Bull float is for right after screeding. Fresno is for a little later when you begin to finish.
@@MikeDayConcrete gotcha. Thanks.
Nice videos but you never show people when the cement was ready to get on. Other then saying a few hours later. Someday your going to be on it soon then other…………
House slabs usually seem to turn out to be the most difficult pours in my personal experience. Plus, we never seem to have people who can pull mud properly while we skreed. That always makes things harder.
Yeah, as an old retired laborer, I can appreciate when someone realizes the importance of the rakers. Thanks!
Would love to work with you
Thanks for that!!
I'll Be Starting Trade School For Concrete, Masonry And Framing Next Month. Love Watching Your Videos For The Basic Knowledge To Go In With.
That's awesome Joshua!
I see 💰 💵 in that job for sure. Do you seal all of your jobs? Also how many people are on your crew? What’s the biggest job you’ve done?
We seal a lot of them but not all. Crew size varies depending on season from 3 to 6 usually. Biggest pour was 1000 yard slab, it was about 30,000 sq. ft.
@@MikeDayConcrete thanks for your input!
Do you know much about GAF sealers? I was wondering if they're any good.
Awesome
Thanks
Oh, boy ! Pouring concrete !
I’m sure you are inspiring a whole bunch of flatter ‘wannabes’ !!!
Did you run an edger on that ramp after brooming it? Is that how you how that finish on the edge?
Yes, we edge most everything we broom for a finished look.
@@MikeDayConcrete Looks good.
It’s 2022 why don’t you add those 2’s up and buy everyone a 6” edger? Hate,hate seeing those puny 2” edgers. Your concrete finishers let’s look like it..
What happened to the new guy working on his phone calls?
He was temporary!
How come you guys never use walking edgers?
Did you fire the phone guy ? I would have, unless one of his family members were in the hospital.
Haha, it was an important call. He only worked for a few weeks.
@@MikeDayConcrete, Got it. Thanks.
Why is your rebar at the bottom of the slab? My understanding is that it needs to be in the center of the slab to be effective. Shouldn’t you put some risers/spacers under it to suspend it?
Rebar police
Most engineers I know want the bar in the bottom 1/3 of slab. (2” bottom cover in 6” slab)
👍
Thank you
A large streak or uneven surface was left behind in the middle of the power trowel on the large slab?
OK
