Your homestead is such a happy place. Pretty flowers, fun animals, green and shady, and off grid. What a great place to spend a day and just chill. And Katie was right!! LoL
Katie you REBEL!! 😂🙌🏻❤️ Just keep watering it around the sides over the next few days and it’ll soak it up. Looks awesome guys, and Steven is so adorable!🥰❤
I love how Hinto is always there keeping an eye on Steven.. so sweet..❤ What an amazing couple you are, turning your hand to anything and being such wonderful animal whisperers! 🐐🐕🐥
Steven is gorgeous and so tiny ❤. Hinto never let's him out of his sight, first class babysitter there!. Nice job of the dry pour, very little touch up to do. Well done guys xx❤
Concrete is amazingly porous....for good or bad. You would need to spray it some to help with curing even on a wet pour. It will absorb a lot of moisture out of the ground too
I know nothing about concrete and so have nothing to offer on that (aren't you glad!!), but I do know that watching you both work on everything you do with such positive and cheerful attitudes is a big reason why your channel/videos are so compelling. Plus, Steven of course! Not to leave out your other animals, but OMG baby goats are the best!
I absolutely love little Steven! I've been waiting for the little goat antics of hopping and jumping and got it today. He was so darn cute up on that blue tote when he'd do his little hop and jump! The place is looking beautiful you guys and the slab turned out very well. Congratulation on getting that done and I look forward to the next one, where I'm sure you will be building the power building. Have a great week you two. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.
You kids are so good to watch. You get things done. Katie works as hard as any man and still keeps looking like a Hott woman should. The dry pour worked great! I love the both of you and keep doing what you are doing. Steven is soooo cute!
Awesome!!👍Ive looked at dry pours, not traditional, but hey, it worked. Ive poured a ton of house and garage slabs when i worked with my Pops building houses. Tips for All concrete projects. Get 2 tools. 1 for the corners, 1 for the smooth finish. Its fun putting a finish on in the afternoon... Always cure as long as possible. a slow cure is actually stronger. The next morning you could spray and Tarp over and over for 3-7 days. Then take forms off. But starting with base, pack, steel and wire, Absolutely the best way for Home projects. Congrats yooz all, Steven is a Funny guy😁🤙🤙Be blessed youngsters. 🙏🙏🙏
Katie, another fine introduction and your music blends with your excellent content. The slab turned out looking very professional. Blessings to you folks.
Its looking good. Great little project so far. I like the old concrete mixes better. They have worked for centuries. I sure love the baby goat, hes so cute. Having a second bedroom will be big addition. Hugs from Santa Barbara 🤗😘🍷😎
Portland cement, and sand and gravel, mix together makes concrete, a load of sand and gravel mixed, buy the bags of Portland get out the cement mixer, guaranteed success and a long lasting end product. A dump truck load of sand gravel mix if covered in the pile will do many projects. Just my thoughts
Turned out great! That will be so nice to get the noisy power out of the house & to have a guest room( we’ll be right up)😂😂. Stephen is just too cute! Love all the wildflowers & green. How do you decide the order of projects? Hope there’s always a next one…so we can keep following along😎
I've not done a big dry pour, but I have done small ones successfully. The last was a 3X3 foot pad for a compressor in an open equipment shed. It came out perfect.
I had know idea they even had such a thing as dry pour. To be honest I was waiting for the bottom to still be powder when you removed the forms. That's so cool ! Looks professional .
Hi Greg and Katie well you sold me on the dry pour concreting and I expected it going tits up but that looked so much easier than heavy wet concrete and then having to barrow it round to where the job is as we can’t get a car near it never mind a concrete truck in fact you made it look that easy I’m sure my good wife can do it herself I can sit and supervise to ensure she gets it right. This must be the first time I’ve looked forward to a concrete job. Thanks a lot it’s nice to learn something new. P.S. Katie you suited the wild hair ❤❤ 💋
Great videos guys, not a fan of dry pour concrete but if I was going to do it I would wet the area down till it's very wet, when concrete dries the water comes up thru concrete not down thru it and wet it down again when you get the layer of your reinforcement down, keep up the good work!!!
It looked to me that you did a good job with the tamping and screeding and got a solid base ..Well done ..I think the people who get failures have not put the work in !!!!!!!!!!
Love your channel and your dedication to your decisions that are mostly unpopular which makes watching them more interesting. Science isn't skeptical when it come to a dry poor. It's never recommended and only needs one freezing winter to damage it.
Today was a milestone for all of us! You poured your first Dry Slab and it turned out AMAZING, and I edited my first UA-cam video for our own channel, and IT turned out about as well as you would expect. Music volume all over the place, quickie intro title, and no real other editing other than speeding it up to 5 to keep from boring folks to death. It really makes me appreciate all of the hard work you have to put into your own videos to make them look so professional. I'd love to see a video from you about how you go about making and editing your own videos. I really need some inspiration, and I figured why not go to one of the best channels on here to learn more.
As long as the dry mix is properly wetted down, the dry pour method of concrete is an awesome way to put in a smallish slab. Jupiter sure likes trying to annoy Greg when he's on the tractor..😂 Love ya'll ❤️
It looks good I have been wanting to try this.if it works out for you I will be trying.That new baby boy is so cute love the jumping.very entertaining.great video.I really hope this withstand all expectations.
I haven’t tried doing a dry pour slab yet but I have done posts setting for chain link fencing as dry pour and it does come out strong and I recently watched a video where they tried 4 different methods of anchoring posts and discovered the dry pour made the strongest base!
Looks good you guys and I learned a lot. Sorry bro Katie was right 😂 be nice to see 6 month updates on breaks and cracks but overall great job. Love how you guys work together and such a good team. Soon Stephen will be climbing and jumping on everything 😂. Thanks for sharing ❤
Only time will tell, and you guys are the ones who will have to live with any issues or repairs, I personally would have used much more water and flooded the pad and surrounds with just a running hose or a rotary-type sprinkler a few times before removing the boxing.
I know a house build channel that does the dry pour method a lot, and they've even gone to do a collab with another channel in colder climates that needed help with the dry-pour method at one point as well... they have a few videos up on it... its the Cajun Country Livin' channel, don't know if that's one of the videos you took a look at or not, but i know their videos helped other UA-cam creators with similar interests in the past that resulted in the collab. Just something to maybe look into if you do decide to dry-pour the workshop side of the barn. Just to help with fine-tuning the details. But I think you did amazing!!
Good video! I'll be interested to learn how you will keep your batteries above 0 degrees C - 32 degrees F during the winter...since you can't charge below that temperature. I'm off grid on solar and am considering moving my system out of the house and into a shed....but I likely need to provide some kind of low wattage heating pads, insulated cabinet...or something.
Your homestead is such a happy place. Pretty flowers, fun animals, green and shady, and off grid. What a great place to spend a day and just chill.
And Katie was right!! LoL
You two are my favorite channel to watch on you tube. Love your content !!!!
It looks like there are never ending projects in your lives living the way you do. I think that keeps y’all happy and healthy as well.
Katie you REBEL!! 😂🙌🏻❤️ Just keep watering it around the sides over the next few days and it’ll soak it up. Looks awesome guys, and Steven is so adorable!🥰❤
Happy you are making power shed & then you have a 2nd bedroom that is a great upgrade! 🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
So nice to the dog is the bodyguard
So cute. Did a great job
I love how Hinto is always there keeping an eye on Steven.. so sweet..❤
What an amazing couple you are, turning your hand to anything and being such wonderful animal whisperers! 🐐🐕🐥
Steven is gorgeous and so tiny ❤. Hinto never let's him out of his sight, first class babysitter there!. Nice job of the dry pour, very little touch up to do. Well done guys xx❤
You live and learn. Hone your ability to recognize sketchy. You are doing great work. Just keep on keeping on.
Concrete is amazingly porous....for good or bad. You would need to spray it some to help with curing even on a wet pour. It will absorb a lot of moisture out of the ground too
Ya, forgot to mention Greg... always soak that base material. So the ground dont sponge the concrete water out. 👍👍
Katie and Greg, it looks good, and all I have to say is nothing ventured nothing gained ❤️🇨🇦
BC concrete workers rocking the flip flops on site! 👊🏻
Safety flipflops please.
Your dogs playing are so adorable, ❤
I love baby goats how they jump around it’s so beautiful and cute here from Ontario canada ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦😎
Your grass looks beautiful!!!

I like the PPE! Dust mask, and safety sandals.
Looks great! And that lil boy loves y'all so much! Love your videos!
Love that there are so many experts in these messages who probably haven’t poured concrete either way 😂
Just keep doing it your way ❤
There is a right way and this is not it.
@@dhgifts how many dry pours have you done?

Nice video glad Steven is doing good he's awesome.
The baby is so cute! Considering his rough start he is doing great
Great Job 👍🏽 fantastic idea Katie 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Steven is too adorable ☺️
I like how you used the paint roller to smooth out the top. 👍 proud how good you both did
You kids are so good to watch. You get things done. Katie works as hard as any man and still keeps looking like a Hott woman should. The dry pour worked great! I love the both of you and keep doing what you are doing. Steven is soooo cute!
That really turned out looking very nice👍
Good 👍 job guys now spraying some water would work out. Always nice watching husband and wife working out on beneficial projects. Goodless

Katie, another fine introduction and your music blends with your excellent content. The slab turned out looking very professional. Blessings to you folks.
Nicely done Katie and Greg, the baby is looking really good and so is the concrete slab.
The dogs just wanted in on the act!!!
I am so in love with this little goat❤
Its good idea I will try it as a sample in my dogs home
Its looking good. Great little project so far. I like the old concrete mixes better. They have worked for centuries. I sure love the baby goat, hes so cute. Having a second bedroom will be big addition. Hugs from Santa Barbara 🤗😘🍷😎

You're so lucky to have rain haven't seen rain here in Courtney for a while now and today at 6:30 PM it is 86 degrees too hot for me

Hi great job on the new shed 🎉🎉🎉 well done ❤❤❤❤❤xxx

❤ that Katie is a real trooper,you are too Gregg think it's going to work and it will work ❤
Jay and Jen ❤ did this also remember to always be respectful to each other and not let the work come between you work it out together!!
Love the baby goat. You two are so fun to watch
the dry pour look great and hopefully hold up well for years.
Very hard workers. Love your animals. From Kimberley BC😊
it will be fine you all work so hard as always loving your videos thank you so much

how about if it is done in an area that does not have freezes??
Steven is getting ready for the goat Olympics his jumping skills are outstanding 😂 So cute.

Learning by own mistaken, might be unpleasant sometimes, but you own to it.... Keep going Katie & trooper Gregg.
I love watching that little kid jump it so kool lol
Looks great work smarter not harder. Just a shed for batteries not daily or heavy traffic days.
As long as the dry mix is properly wetted down, the dry pour method of concrete is an awesome way to put in a smallish slab. Jupiter sure likes trying to annoy Greg when he's on the tractor..😂 Love ya'll ❤️
Great progress and concretely 😂amazing.
I would go down and rent a floor buffer get the sanding pads and polish it up and then seal it up... I like the look of polished concrete
Good job Katie & Greg❗️
It looks good I have been wanting to try this.if it works out for you I will be trying.That new baby boy is so cute love the jumping.very entertaining.great video.I really hope this withstand all expectations.
Katie Greg. Real good job 👍
Good Luck, you are your own "BEST CREW", Be yourself!
Always enjoy your videos. Entertaining and informative of many projects. 😊
I didn’t even know dry pour was a thing! And I have several brothers who worked in concrete for many years! It looks good!
Great job guys. I never doubted you for a minute. I want Stephen. He is so cute.
Hola buenas ❤😊 des de España Barcelona 😊 hun 👋
I haven’t tried doing a dry pour slab yet but I have done posts setting for chain link fencing as dry pour and it does come out strong and I recently watched a video where they tried 4 different methods of anchoring posts and discovered the dry pour made the strongest base!
it looks great. i hope it last for you. just remember to put heat in the shed for he batteries in the winter. GREAT JOB!!
Looks good you guys and I learned a lot. Sorry bro Katie was right 😂 be nice to see 6 month updates on breaks and cracks but overall great job. Love how you guys work together and such a good team. Soon Stephen will be climbing and jumping on everything 😂. Thanks for sharing ❤
Hello everyone ❤ Nice to meet you ❤❤❤
Only time will tell, and you guys are the ones who will have to live with any issues or repairs, I personally would have used much more water and flooded the pad and surrounds with just a running hose or a rotary-type sprinkler a few times before removing the boxing.
one thing you might do is find some big rock the Greg can with tractor and put some place that the nugget can climb on
The concrete came out very nice. How quickly the little goat grows.
Fast forward during yaking time.
I know a house build channel that does the dry pour method a lot, and they've even gone to do a collab with another channel in colder climates that needed help with the dry-pour method at one point as well... they have a few videos up on it... its the Cajun Country Livin' channel, don't know if that's one of the videos you took a look at or not, but i know their videos helped other UA-cam creators with similar interests in the past that resulted in the collab.

I'm with Jeff.
Yall should add a pond in your property to drain the water from your house and maybe it'd be a good reservoir for your livestock to drink from
I agree, some sort of rainwater catchment would be a great addition
@@ExplosiveLandmine we won’t see rain for a few months though. We’d need mega storage for it to last the dry period
Great place for mosquitos too!! Just sayin!!@@ThisOffGridLife
Good video!
I'll be interested to learn how you will keep your batteries above 0 degrees C - 32 degrees F during the winter...since you can't charge below that temperature.
I'm off grid on solar and am considering moving my system out of the house and into a shed....but I likely need to provide some kind of low wattage heating pads, insulated cabinet...or something.
Slab looks great 👍
Steven is looking good 😀
Awesome job! It looks great 👍🏻
I'm im pressed with the concrete 2❤
I loooooovvveeee jay and jen!
Awww that's sweet thanks :D
Looks like it worked out…Gemma be great! 😎👍
The baby goat is so cute.
Looks great, another job well done.
I've watched several people do it,Hi from Colorado Springs 😀
Can’t wait to see what happens when you drill & install anchor bolts.
