How to pour a concrete floor when rain is in the forecast. How to get your concrete to set up really fast.
This video is about getting your concrete to set really fast when you know there's some rain coming.
We had a window of about 5 hours and had to get this garage floor poured and finished before the rain started.
Did we do it?
Check out the video to see!

The 3 of you knocked that out! Great team work for a small crew.
Mike I'm a 30 year veteran of running a concrete business. I use to scratch in the ramps like you. 5 years ago I purchased a ramp tool from supply house. They come out perfect every time. I would be lost without it now.
The floor came out great mike nice job the king of concrete does it again lol
Great job Sir, as always thanks for inviting us on this journey. Thanks 😊
I’ve gone to using key lock at doors and drop the outer form 1/2-3/4” depending on wall thickness. It also keeps the floor from cracking on the inside corners of the wall without having to saw or tool a joint that will hold water under the door. Great videos, thanks for sharing!
Tommy gate or that little crane you have is much needed!!! Absolute life saver
Makes me want to knock down my garage and build a new one just to see you pour a new floor in person. Nice job excellent crew.
I love your content. You guys are experts! I only wish your camera caught more detail on the concrete to show the different textures throughout the finishing process. It all looks smooth even right after you screed it, but I know the texture looks different during each step.
NICE!! having my 20 by 80 done in Fl next weekend.
On the weekend
@@MikeDayConcrete I was lucky to find a crew that likes to make extra $$ on the weekend, they have the trucks and their pump coming in Sat morning, and hopefully the torrential rains won't hit until it sets up so I can cover it. But its Florida,...the odds are against us.
You guys do awesome work Mike.
You did a radiant slab inside ICFs that I had prepped back in 05(Richmond)
A couple things were not quite right but you calmly explained it and we made the changes before the trucks got there!
Came out beautiful and you were off to the next one, I think you said you had 3more pours that day.
Thank you!
Damn you made it look easy. That's a clean pour. Great video brother!
Nice job as always!!👍
Thanks again!
Masters at work
We just put zip strip across the pass doors. As always, good job guys and gal
Nice job and man that was fast .
Great job as always! I agree, gotta get them knocked out when you can.
Sweet rig.
That turned out great!!!
Thanks Richard!
Just wondering why rebar was not used, are the fibers good enough for long term strength?
Nice work Mike...Thanks
Thanks Matt!
mike, you should mention that calcium chloride will darken the final appearance of the surface. where as non chloride accellerators that are more expensive will generally keep natural grey/white color
We use to pour tilt up panels in the pouring rain.
The pro,s in action..nice job.
Thanks Mike!
Beautiful nice work
Definitely use non-calcium chloride if steel is in the slab. And 2% at 70degrees is crazy. In my region in florida 2% at 70degrees the entire floor would be burnt in in about 2 hours tops and will completly get away from a non experienced concrete guy. I would recommend .5-1 at that temp.
It woulda been nice if you show us up closeup shots of the power trowel finishes
Mike, was that a straight cement mix or does that plant use pozzolan?
Great job by your crew.
Wet cure is the best cure!
To ensure strength concrete should be kept wet for up to two weeks surely?
T runs a mean bull float 😃
Got any videos of doing everything solo?
what kind of saw do you use
Does expediting the cure cause surface spider cracks?
Hey Mike, how do you keep your edges against the wall clean when you trowel? We find we have to hand trowel after almost every power trowel pass to keep them clean.
How can you tell if it has an accelerater? I did a job one time and the concrete set and was dry like 20 minutes after it hit the ground ruined my whole job. I then called the plant n they said they put an accelerater in it without telling me.
What kind of electric saw do you recommend..??
Do you ever use a curing spray/ sealer on your projects?
Nice👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
@@MikeDayConcrete have you a link for the saw?? Good work by the way
Mike, You add the excellerator on site?
Yes, when the truck starts mixing.
💯💯👍
Can you have Tia guest narrate? 🙃
Like 👍
I wouldnt let a company pour my concrete that i paid thousands of dollars $10,000 or more if its suppose to rain.it can wait
My oppinion is poz 20 is way better than the calcium
Buy the bevel mag for the doors. That thing is the cats ass
Don't promote guys pouring in the rain, it's really stupid and wastefully for the contractor who looses that slab,
