My Dream Shop Ep-20: Pouring the Concrete Floor!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 гру 2023
- 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!
The cinematography was off the hook on this one! From the slo-mo to the steam to the solar flares...well done. Oscar contender for sure.
Kyle: “I’ll caulk these lines. You’ll never even see them. “
Kyle playing with his grandkids in 2053…..: “Kids, let me tell you about cut lines…..I still wish those cut lines were straight. I see them every day.”
haha probably
He can epoxy this and it would look better and wouldn't notice the cracks either
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.
huh??? why would anyone think thats a big deal??

@@arresthillary9502You had to be there!
The production enhancements to the channel are killer! Greg being mic'd up is an awesome addition. The edit is on point. Y'all are crushing it!
The way you did the groundwork before the pour. It was impeccable. You and your lasersharp mind and eyes, Kyle 😅. Respect!!
The opening of this video was awesome because for a quick moment we saw what its like to be a perfectionist with high standards. The idea that you were tossing and turning all night wondering if you had missed something.
The point of this comment is to say - attention to detail doesn't come easy - it is a lifestyle :)
Your enthusiasm is is keeping me glued to this build. Great job guys!
I’m 66 and I still pour concrete. I like watching people who know what they are doing.
"Worry is a wasted emotion", I was once told. Although I too would share your concerns if it was my shop.
Came out great! See, all that worry for nuttin. Well done!
I have the upmost respect for concrete guys! Hard working good fellas!
This is an awesome series….
Great concrete crew….can’t wait for the next video.
Great shop build. Outstanding concrete crew.
I'm surprised they didn't have the pumper trailer with hose, thats what I've seen used on similar situations .
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.
I worked concrete a few summers ago. Super hard work, but so satisfying and I kinda miss it now.
A wonderful example of the meaning to collaborate! Truly a team effort here, showing attention to detail and striving for excellence!
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...
Building my own shop from scratch is one of my dreams! Thanks for sharing your personal project with us and letting me live vicariously thru you! Looks awsome!
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!
I’ve always liked Kyle’s videos but when he said “no lowballers I know what I’ve got” he earned a whole new appreciation from me! No Lowballers group is the best!
I don`t know about US but in Eu, we overlap the wire mesh at least "one eye" then tighten with steel wire. Also before the foam boards we use some membrane sheets, looks like some plastic sheets for capilarity... Great to see plaster added in the mix! This whole project is a big thumb up! Can`t wait to see the last episode. Keep up the good work and stay safe!
I'm Glad I'm not the Only OCD Guy out there, my buddies in the Shop are always busting my Chops. You just want things Done Right!!!
There is something soothing about concrete finishing
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.
Nice glad it's coming together
Looks great!
Happy for you Kyle.👍Looks great! 🤩
Going to be an awesome build!
Oh yea. You also got me with the "stoop" set up. Brilliant. 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.
Love it so much keep it up as always 💘
Your videos are so awesome and educational! Thank you for sharing!
Kyle can you show that detail in the concrete now since it is dry where the overhead door meets the concrete. I think i understand it from how you explained it and showing the forms but i would like to see it now since the concrete is finished and form is off. I think this is a great idea and never thought about it before. Love the channel and thanks for making the videos.
Loving this series, keep up the great work
That building is coming along beautifully.
Enjoyed this video! Merry Christmas!
Selling yourself short. That’s limited edition RR Buildings one-use OSB. Good shit right there!
Another great series of videos.
Thanks for sharing the ride with us.
Looking great
Yet another great vlog 👍🏻
Your wife is great at the color coordination of your outfits... well-done, ma'am!...that being said, I can't imagine having that much concrete to work on. Wow, impressive!
Hi, could you please show the slope to the garage door after taking the wood off?? Thanks, Martin.
my favorite series, you can see everything step by step, really cool
What a great job that contractor did. A handsome floor. You could polish and acid etch it.
Shop looks great thanks for sharing the video on the floor looks great
❤ Greg’s sweatshirt! Go Golden Warriors!
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.
HHM
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.
Great job as always guys. 👍👍🏴🏴
Awsome build
Best of the season to you and yours
Quality Sells Itself

Awesome job
You did great! Glad that stress point has passed. Looks outstanding. Merry Christmas!
I concur... concrete day IS the best!
I love watching your videos. You always do such amazing work and you always have everything thought out in advanced
Love your vids and watching the project proceed, Merry Christmas to you and your family!
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.
Exactly. Talk about rolling the dice
The kink in the tubing never, IMO, should have been left in….
Smart move presetting the drain.
So cool to see with all the experience you have that you still get excited and nervious. best channel on youtube hands down.
KYLE, Looking real good buddy, Your new building is going to be amazing man..👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
So cool seeing how pumped u are, makes me pumped for you! That building is gonna be amazing!
This is a nice Christmas gift.
I’m happy for you. Your work & videos have been educational and entertaining to many. Congratulations on the continuing successes and enjoy your beautiful place!
Merry Christmas Kyle, Greg, and all the craftsmen out here everyday making it happen. 🎄
Killin it!
Love the overhead door trough to keep water out. Great looking floor and building.
boom pump IN THE 14 FT DOOR OPENINGS!!!!! straight stick through the door and 3in hose wherever you need. or just use truck mounted pump and hose it where you needed it
Nice work ! 👍
That looks great. Merry Christmas Kyle& Greg. Job well done
I feel your sense of relief. I was finishing my own concrete repair during the closing days of good weather towards the end of November, and actually finished it on the last good day. Good job.
very happy for you brother! been watching for years. inspired me a bunch!
nothing but respect and love.
So much to learn when watching real pros work🙂
Hi Gary from the UK here just wanted to say Great video very interesting and informative keep them coming, plus 10/10 for the floor sweet job very nice
Great job on the slab! My guy did a great job on my shop floor also, 36’x48’
Thanks for all Videos from Your Dream Shop, to this Day. It is very Interesting and much to learn. To hope You send to the Dream is ready. I wish you and Your family Happy Christmas Days . 🇦🇹
👍👍good job
I sat back a trusted my crew to do a good job. I should have been running around verifying what was happening cuz my job didn't turn out great. Lots of little mistakes that could have been avoided with some extra caution. Mt floor drain isn't straight. The floor has lots lots of peaks a valleys. Everytime you say "you only get once chance" it penetrates my soul. I love watching your videos. Great content and awesome build.
Very cool!
I've always liked the ledge where the garage door sits down IN the groove like that. I had one house that had that for the garage. Only was a pain in the arse when I was working on a vehicle and it was not all the way in the garage... But otherwise, anytime we had heavy rain during summer monsoons here in Phoenix, there was no water that came in... however, out here, there is no "wind driven rain" really. We get peaks of 80mph winds and such during a micro burst, but for us, the garage doors collapse and pull out when that happens, so the lip doesnt matter, lol.
But in my current house I built in 2019, has a normal sloped garage with no door lip. and we've had heavy rains as I'm out in the desert and no rain has come in. My driveway is all pavers too and slopes down kinda hard to the street, so no way will rain swoosh up the driveway and flood in. but where yuou are, I highly recommend you do that lip on your personal place. take what you know and insist its done RIGHT, the way YOU want it done when you build your dream place.... Amazing work so far!!!
Gasoline powered buggies huh. As a former placer/finisher, wheelbarrowing concrete SUX. I wish we had some of those back in the day. But I did use 4" dia boomed pumpers - sweet.
Merry Christmas my friend. So glad to see you have your concrete in before it got too cold. I am enjoying the build, keep on going.
Big job done well by professionals!!, always good to get the right people and to see how well it looks finished.!!! Good job guys maybe you can sleep now Kyle.!! Have a great Christmas break, Happy Christmas to you and youres, Adding Greg heres hoping for a great 2024 Love from UK🤓🤠.
The slab looks great man!
I think you needed double the mules.. that looks fun! Looking great.
Really enjoyed your videos this year. ..This Dream Shop collection especially. 🎅 MERRY CHRISTMAS !!
Appreciate that
Agreed, I've seen all their videos and this is by far my favorite! I really like the new camera quality.
Of course it looks amazing! I'm so jealous you got your floor in already, I'm still trying to compact and level my shop build, but I'm thankful all my steel is done. I think I'm going to wait until spring to pour, I would hate to get a cold snap if we were to pour! Take care and have a really good x-mas!!
Nice detail on the concrete
The best thing to do with fresh concrete is to use a sealer. You don't want little clouds of cement dust as you walk across the floor.
That floor is gorgeous.
Now to see if you can get roof/siding/windows done before the northern Illinois winter hits in earnest. ;)
Coming along nicely. Amazing how professionals make a hard job look so easy. Your pad you poured with the remaining concrete would work for a back-up generator for the shop and house if you run the wire.
Sounds like concrete pour day is like duck season opening day!
Hilarious watching you do the concrete anxiety chatter, 🤣 damn that's nice seeing you freak about all the little details , as you follow the concrete guy around.🤣, after all these years it's still funny.
Line pump…. Crazy to pour a slab that big that way. Also on another note Kyle losing sleep… shows how much he loves being in the building industry. Merry Christmas 🎄 and Happy New Year 🥳 gents.
damn what a speed u built this building ! !! so fast im impressed
Hey Kyle, check out the crazy finishes that they can do with epoxy. And then coat it with gloss finish to get your lights to reflect off of it. 👍👍
Love this series and the insight you are providing. I am just finishing up my own shop build right now (stick built). 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!
I was excited for you man! Seriously! I never had the chance to do this kind of build but can imagine the excitement to design, build and be there for all the parts and pieces you are not the expert on! Humbling for sure, but awesome you were able to get top notch guys to do the really serious stuff, like the FLOOR! Love it, your channel and all the buildings you do! You are the man when it comes to post/beam construction! Maybe stretch out and develop a National Company with you and Greg as the “inspectors/teachers” so that everyone in the USA can get the quality you provide! We, my son, actually, could use you here in Virginia!
this is for sure a big pour
The video quality is 🔥🔥🔥 on the thermals off the concrete in the cold air!!!
Used my osmo pocket 3 for that.
Brian poured a garage floor for us 31 years ago. Best flat work guy in the surrounding area.
Good job bro
