I like the cost comparison and break down of the projects. It helps people like me who are just getting started with diy stuff.
Cheers more to come .
So do I. However, he didn't include the prep work and materials to get the pad ready to build the forms and lay down the vapor barrier and mesh. Stripping & levelling the original dirt,grass, etc. Buying and spreading the gravel base, etc. Still cheaper to DIY but factor in all materials & time.
@@daleerickson497 he did include it.

I would definitely rent a bull float and a fresno, will save you soooo much time and agro, and will give a great finish. Also viewers if you don't lift the mesh during the pour it's pretty much useless, and hold it back from the form edges 4 inches or it will rust out.
Love the cost breakdown, especially it being in Canadian dollars. Tough to find on UA-cam
More to come!
When you lay rebar into a section that will have concrete poured into it, you need to raise the rebar up so the concrete will flow under it. That will strengthen the pad.
I didn't see him once raised any of that wire mesh he put on the floor
It’s a shed.
@@HatleyReviews then save the $200 and not use it at all. Its doing nothing flat on the floor.
I like how he’s talking in total amazement at how perfect and efficient the experience was with the concrete guy. Don’t stop winning!
It’s like this man reads my mind, I was just thinking “I wish Jeff did a concrete slab video”
Same
I appreciate the shout-out to the concrete company - I always enjoy seeing people recognized for a job well-done.
Great video, one thing I learned that really changed my concrete finished product for the better were the following steps.
Pour concrete, screed immediately, tramp down aggregate, screed again and cut in edges. Then wait until all bleed water evaporates, however long that takes. Then start your trowel work. After concrete has setup, wet it down and cover for 3-4 days so it can slowly cure. I didn't know about the vapor barrier, but I'll be sure to lay one down next time. Awesome as always Jeff!
Gotta admit that is pretty cool seeing it mix real time.
I know, right?
Whats the max capacity of his truck compared to a traditional one? Imagine it would be a touch less due to having the 3+ different hoppers etc.
it's actually more since it does not have to be spinning.
Ahh interesting, although that does make sense, dont have to have a motor to turn the drum..just an auger in the back it looked like to mix it before the chute.
So the viability for jobs of all sizes is right up a mixing truck like thats alley.
Great video. I love how you show your mistakes and the things you've learned. I've done many concrete pours with a little mixer. If you are mixing your own concrete or have a lot of little projects you can order a dump truck load of aggregate that is mixed for making concrete ( correct ratio of sand and gravel ). In my area you pay $630 CAD delivered for 12 yards. You then just buy the cement bags and use 6 parts aggregate to 1 part cement when mixing way cheaper than buying the readymix bags.
So, I have been planning a 14 x 20 building to use as a Man Cave golf suite with a launch monitor in it. Building the forms and pouring the concrete is my first step. This video made me feel comfortable doing it with a buddy. I talked to my Nephew who does concrete foundations and finishing and he said this video is great. He actually said I didn't need the mesh because the concrete that I am going to use is strong enough on its own, but I am still going to use it. Thanks for the video, I'll come back and share how my buddy and I did with the slab when I am done. You are awesome. I have watched several of your videos and you always make it simple and give me tips that I don't think about. In this video you gave me the idea of putting a vapor barrier in. I would not have done that. Thanks again for another great video.
Love the cost comparison and contrasting with the previous shed.
Sometimes I have more time than money, sometimes I don’t. This gives me a great way to think about a project.
Thanks!
That was a real feel good show. You guys are the real deal, good people. Thank you, Max for sharing what you and your wife were able to do with your home. And thank you, Jeff for the channel and everything you share with the little guys, DIYers like me.
Our pleasure!
I’m the estimator for a concrete company in Nebraska and for a 4” pad with wire mesh we are usually about $5-$6 setup and poured. Unless you’re doing fence posts, do what Jeff says and order a truck. It A MILLION times faster and can end up saving you a lot of time and money. Great video Jeff!
Are you in Omaha by chance?
I laughed at my regular guy, used to be around $5/, last time he quoted me $7.50-$8 for a simple driveway
Hi Jeff, I really enjoy your videos as I tend to be more of a DIY guy myself. I'm newly in Idaho from California. I appreciate your costs breakdowns too so I get an idea of what I'm in for budget wise. You've even inspired me to attack drywall fixes and not be terrified of them :)
The cost comparison and break down of the projects is an excellent idea. It helps people like me who are just getting started on more labor intensive projects.
LOVE the cost breakdown. So many channels miss this important info.
Thanks Jeff I watch many of your videos and have received much help from them. I have built a deck, completely renovated my bathroom and am currently building a 12x16 shed. I am DIY'er without a lot of the fancy tools. I have found if you are creative and use what you have you will get a decent job in the end. I saved $10 000 doing my deck by myself and over $5 000 on the bathroom so thanks again.
Well done Jeff. I have learned so much from you and I apply it all the time on my jobs. Thanks again for all the input!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Planning on building a shed and greenhouse in Alaska, and a practise shed back home in Jamaica. These videos have been the most helpful source I’ve found.
Thank you.
Awesome DIY video! You answered every question I had and some that I hadn’t thought of yet, so it's totally invaluable as usual! Thank you!
Now that I think about it, I have resourced many of your videos for a wide variety of jobs. They have all been helpful, some were life savers, in addition to all the tips that are akin to years of knowledge gained.
So thanks again, I'll spread the word and I think I should go back and add some comments to show my appreciation.
Kindly, Mike from Calgary
Thank you for keeping it simple and giving price comparison. Love this video.
That was the coolest truck I've ever seen
I felt like I was 6 years old that day!
Thanks for doing the comparison between partial DIY vs hiring it out. Keep it up, great to see and helps to inform the decisions we have to make as property owners.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Jeff, once again your video has come in a very timely manner as I’m going to put up a shed before the end of this summer here in Australia 🇦🇺 Thank you so very much for the very clear presentation. I look forward to seeing a notification from your channel.
make sure the bell for notifications is set to ring. Cheers!
In 2008, I decided to build a 12 by 8 pool shed to accommodate the pumps/filters and some extra space for equipment storage, etc...we set up a wooden former on a compacted gravel base and used the mesh to give the base strength, J bolts to accommodate the framing tie-down in windy conditions, etc. I used a local concrete company to deliver our 1 cubic yard of needed concrete (concrete was probably 4-5 inch depth with small undulations in the sub base) and barrowed it quickly from curbside to the base site using two barrows (two wheeler barrows to avoid spillage and save our backs!)....I was worried about messing it up but we were as prepared as we could be and..... the result was fantastic! And to this day, no cracks in the base, the shed still looks amazing and I saved a packet by doing it myself with my lovely wife assisting....seeing this video brings it all back to me! Having an assistant or two is definitely the key, depending upon the size of the pad....
Cheers Neil. no job is too big for DIY!
this video was great. Im a new contractor, only been at it for about a year and 8 months. Videos like this help me understand what it might take on certain projects and now im not discouraged in taking on jobs like this and i have a general understanding what it will take to bring in a cement company. Thank-you for the content, i always appreciate it.
Happy to help you in the right direction.
Hi from Pennsylvania! I've been watching your videos for a while and you have helped me out a lot! Keep doing what you do, it's appreciated!
Man I tell you what, you’re great at what you do and the way you explain everything always gets my undivided attention. Good on ya mate. 👍🏼
Good Information and value on this channel. I'm always learning something new and your cost breakdowns are appreciated. Much success to you and your subscribers.
Love All Of Your Videos. Simple, direct and to the point. 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
This was so interesting to watch and you provided so much information as you went along. You are such a jolly person. I love your attitude.😊
Great info! The DIY instructions are very well done, however the cost analysis is the part that is EXTREMELY valuable to what I do. Kudos to the work you do, and keep 'er coming! :) ....
Loved the last shed build really looking forward to this one.
Can’t wait to see the rest of this shed build! Very exciting!
next week. Cheers!
Awesome video! I'm planning to construct a storage shed this spring. I have been debating whether or not to mix the concrete myself. Now I know what I'm going to do.
Hi Jeff! I love it that I support your channel because you offer such fantastic information and shortcuts. I love your energy because it gets me excited about my own projects! Thank you for all of the time and expense that you and your team put into making these videos for us! As for the concrete...I don't understand the purpose of the wire mesh if you're not going to put it close to the center of the concrete. It serves no purpose resting on the bottom of the concrete. I know the concrete stays are tall, but maybe a few stones underneath the mesh would hold it up off the ground a little. You are the first person I have ever known that mentions spraying something on the forms to help with releasing it from the hardened concrete! I love that! THANKS!!!
Form release oil is typically used for when you would be taking off the forms before it fully hardens like when you would do stairs. usually it isnt necessary on this job unless you are planning on finishing the edges for a smooth looking finish. Sorry im a year late to this reply.
Love your positive helpful attitude. I have been helped so often by your videos. My favorite type of content on youtube!
The costing info is great. Excellent descriptive video for the DIY
I subscribed because of the cost breakdown of the various options - of course I like doing it all myself, however I don't always have the time - so much appreciated!
Thanks so much Jeff, for the details you always provide.
Great video, thorough, insightful & extremely helpful. Thanks!
Such a hard worker with a smile. Ty
I remember making a patio with my Dad. It was about the same area. My brother and I worked two very long days mixing in a wheel barrel. Yes, a wheel barrel. I’m now a believer. Get help when you need it, save money where you can. Good video. Thanks.
Cheers Dana!
Love how you breakdown the price and looks great
Seriously. What a great quality video. One of the best on YT
Your info is very helpful. I find it easier to get some help to float it out than hire a contractor. Thankyou for taking the time cost cutting.
I did this in the autumn of 2020. Hired a company in the GTA (Maple) 1833mix4u, who delivered to Mississauga. This was brutal work, the sweating you see at 9:19 is nothing compared to what I looked like at the end of it.
I'd do it again with what I've learned, definitely mix it wet, I did not and it hardened on me as I was bull floating it, I didn't get to put an edge on it. Secondly, if you can get more people to help, do it, I had my wife and my father, it wasn't enough (we had to wheelbarrow concrete from the front to the back and then spread it out). And lastly more spikes in the ground around the corners, I had two in each corner, and the corners still blew out on me.
The cost of the concrete if anyone is interested, was $495 (CAD including tax) for 1.25 m3 at 32 MPa. I lost a wheelbarrow in the process (broke due to the weight) so budget for a good one or a rental.
The on site mixer is pretty sweet. Used that for a set of stairs and landscaping pads, one time.
I found your channel a few weeks ago as I just started renovations. 1) Amazing channel and content 2) Even more amazing is you’re in Ottawa!
Welcome aboard!
Awesome 😆 so crazy DYI! I'm glad I watched you do this cause I want one that size, but that was no joke while it was going down!!! You and your partner did a great job. Thank u for this video ❤️
Love the process and your cost quotes... Thanks for an awesome video..
That truck is damn impressive and I'm glad I watched this video. Changed my mind on renting a mixer for my next project. Premix is the way to go. Great info. 👍
Loved the cost break down. Very easy DIY video
now we are talking! love the price breakdown ! especially for us Canadians
Reminds me of my young son and I; me teaching him how to work and him teaching me he's totally dazed and confused, which reminds me of my dad and I working together when I was young. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Can’t wait to see the next part of the build! This is going to be awesome !!
You and me both!
Co I worked for in southwest texas used that form of cement trucks building gas compressors pads in the oil fields. Neat to watch.
Building one myself this summer in quebec, can't wait to see the next steps. Good job!
Awesome!
That truck is amazing.
Awesome. Thank you for pricing. It so helps as a single mom who can’t do it herself.
Yes more cost breakdown! Thank you for doing that.
It was spot on. Waiting for the build
Brilliant. Glad you had a good time
So good! Going to do this soon myself, glad for a bigger workshop vid coming up.
next week. hope it helps!
Thank you I've been thinking about doing 30x30 thanks for your help
I’m excited to see what you got coming with your new home being brick. My parents home is brick. I’m curious to see how you can potentially add insulation properly to a brick home
Awesome videos man
Keep em coming and stay safe
Awesome video great job on explaining everything even in real time nice job!!!
Jeff love your videos very helpful and appreciate it's Canadian as that really helps with costing.
Wow talk about the future of concrete pouring.
lol, WE WENT FORMM 1 BAG AT A TIME TO how things will be done in 2050. Cheers!
That is awesome!!! You inspire us so much!!!!
You are an absolute legend.. keep up the awesome work.. cheers all the way from the land down under.. Australia-Queensland-Brisbane...👍
Wow, thanks! Cheers to all our friends down under!
Great video Jeff! I can’t wait to see the rest of your new shed/workshop series 😎
next Saturday. Cheers!
Well done. Very good information and instruction. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love ur show I EVEN share with my architect son...... LOL he like you Also keep up what u r doing .. n costing it is sooooo valuable in decision making....
Thank you so much 😀
Great explanation of material costs
Bro, you're a pro and enjoy your videos. I do have a suggestion when doing this though. I personally staple gun and tackle the plastic to the form board to be sure i get a tight pull and ensure the plastic covers the area completely without an uncover spot.
Looking for that cost breakdown ALWAYS! thank you!
Glad to see another shed video!
Can’t wait to see the build of the workshop
Cheers Scott next saturday!
Hi Jeff. Great job guys. That concrete truck was awsome. Great idea. Can't wait to see the shed being built. Take care and stay say. All the best. 🇬🇧👍👌
video comes out later this morning. Cheers!
Can’t wait to see more videos . Leave them run long, don’t mind longer videos at all.
Yeah i really liked the amount of detailed information you included in this video.
Glad you liked it!
Ottawa looks nice and warm
Excellent information on the cost tradeoffs! Also learned about mix on demand concrete trucks. Didn't know they existed.
Me neither until he showed up with it. great day all around!
Yes the cost breakdown is great to have. I saved some money by doing the work myself as well. Hoping you will be doing a video on the shed build too
next saturday
Your video was and is very helpful thanks
That's cool that you're teaching her how to make do construction.
Cost breakdowns are always appreciated!
Glad you like them!
Definitely keep the price comparison coming.. this slab looked a lot more fun than last one ha
Love the mixing on site!
Glad you like it!
That's an awesome concrete service.
cheers to that!
Great information. Thank you.
Good video mate! Please keep sharing the cost! Really helpful
Thanks, will do!
Lost our house in a house fire this spring so I'm getting a crash course on all things homebuilding. Finances dictate we really need to do as much ourselves as possible. First is getting some education on the whole process, otherwise we don't even know what questions to ask. Second is identifying all the options, figuring out the most important places to spend our money and trying to find tradesmen who are willing to let us work with them. Your videos and approach are very helpful, thank you.
I’m sorry to hear that, I hope you are able to rebuild. Wishing you well!
Hang in there! Hope you'll have a ton of fun while learning and saving money!
Another excellent video
Sometimes it feels like Jeff knows what projects I have coming up :)
I am watching. LOL
Wow that truckkk😮 so convenient
thank you, definitely appreciate all the pricing and data, thank you again.
Our pleasure!
Thanks once again Jeff. You made my decision easy. I will be pouring my own slab. It is twice the size of what you just did and when you mentioned that a contractor would charge $3500!! for you and x2 for me... welp its a no brainer.
