  • In this episode of my dream shop, we pour the concrete floor. I did very little work as far as finishing goes, but was there to lend a hand all day and provide words of encouragement. The guys from Demps Concrete and Nagy Concrete in Dixon, IL did a great job, and I got one heck of a nice floor finish!

    Love the way that no matter how well informed you are, you understand that you are a customer the minute you hire a Pro ! This level of humility from a team so competent is one reason why you guys are killing it!

    Retired working concrete superintendent here, I got to say this is a great looking slab. Even though I did not install the concrete in the few Home Depot's I helped build, I love how they did their cut lines & flied them, then sealed the floors. I was one of the few people allowed to drive their own trucks inside a Home Depot. Everyday before quitting time they required every piece of wood that was not whole, be discarded / removed. I got to take home loads of wood everyday, anything less than 8' long. It was cool to drive inside & not just by the door. Every time I push a cart down an isle, I'm reminded I used to drive my truck down the isles. Special edition 1994 S-10 4x4, tires squealing as I made a corner on slick floors.

    The point of this comment is to say - attention to detail doesn't come easy - it is a lifestyle :)

    Great job Kyle! I lucked out when building my dream shop. It was like the last day of the year that I could have gotten it poured, and my concrete guy called in some favors and we had two concrete business owners and two retired concrete business owners in the mix. There was a lot of experience out there, and the floor is as perfect as it gets for concrete. Nothing like a concrete pour to make a building start to feel finished!

    That floor looks fabulous. Your concrete contractor is the top of the pile at his job. From the look of the finished product, you contracted the right person for this job. Congratulations on your journey thus far in building your dream shop. I suspect "every guy" watching these videos is envious in the right way, wishing "they had s shop this nice.

    Just a tip for the next floor heating, it is good practice to place the manifold with pressure gage and fill the pec tubes and put pressure on the system BEFORE the concrete poor. You suppose to check if the pressure keeps stable while poring the concrete. If the pressure drops, you sprong a leck during the poor. You also seen a splash and have a easy fix, while the concrete is still wet.

    Love the way you build! Where I live, pole barns are very common, and sadly I don't think anyone builds post frames on perimeter foundations like RR. No way am I going to stick twisty, poorly pressure treated wood poles in the ground. Appreciate the attention to detail and am amazed at how quickly just you & Greg put up a frame. If only you were willing to do a couple thousand mile commute...

  • @haroldmulder

    Looks good. Only question I have did you not have the pex tubes pressurized during the pour in case something happened you'd notice it before the concrete set.

    • @Gruuvin1
      @Gruuvin1 4 місяці тому

      I've seen dozens of videos of concrete over pex; they never pressure test those lines first. I guess the chance of failure is so low that it's not worth the effort. A line can be disabled later.

    Looks great Kyle! Those little details, especially like what you did for the bottom of your doors, can make a huge difference in having a nice dry and comfortable building. Was hoping you were gonna show that detail when the forms were off. Also one thing I would've done if it were mine; I would've connected all the pex together and pressurized it with a guage to hold while the entire pour was happening, just in case. A puncture would quickly show itself.

My story: A trampoline "park" build in one of the out of business department stores was "cutting concrete" and they were happy to "let go" of many many 24 inch square pieces of trowel polished concrete 5 inches thick, steel reinforced, easy to move. 70 of those have been very handy around my property. I'll tell ya. Good move on the "stoop" set up there Kyle.

I am a carpenter but did all the concrete work (footings and 3' frost wall) myself except the slab, no way I was doing 1200sf of slab by myself for my first time. Your tips on the cuts and the drain is right on, the kind of info I dont hear anyone else talk about. I ended up just doing a square drain in the middle myself. Also, funny shit with the osb on facebook marketplace, I swear I see that all the time out here where I live. Cant wait to see the rest of the build and the finished shop, thanks for the great vids!
