Wow !! End result looked absolutely brilliant 👏, I'm from Birmingham,england 🇬🇧 and 3 of us work together, and just like your men everyone knows what they're doing, no one has to tell each other what to do, and when you've got that teamwork you know you're very lucky ! Makes going to work so much easier mate, great video mike 👍 it's like watching poetry in motion 😂👍

Hello from Windsor Ontario, I did a little concrete when I was putting myself through university. Haven’t done anything more then some patch work in years. I just had an opportunity to build a new home and after watching your videos I will be purchasing your course and doing my patio and drive way. I’ll send you some pictures when I’m done. I will be taking your advice and start with a small slab that my garden shed will be on then work through the other projects. Thanks again for the great content.

Hi Mike, great looking job. I am a retired concrete finisher of 30 plus years from east central Indiana. I have done two years of stamping concrete from pool decks, driveways, patios, mezzanines, kitchen floors, indoor spa floors, but when we did it we had to throw the color by hand and float it in (because the concrete company’s would not put the color in there trucks) then throw the release, What a dirty job it was. Since then I had finished up my career in doing highways, bridges, walls, tanks, curbs etc. Concrete finishers make it look very easy just as you guys do, that’s when the average Joe who watches these videos can get them self in a world of trouble! Like you say, it’s all in the condition of the day, sub base & mix not to mention the timing! So for all you folks thinking you got this, you just might want to have someone with so knowledge close by! Hay Mike, you got this!!! PS. We use front end discharge trucks around here, the driver can move the shut up and down right and left from in the cab, it comes in very handy.

Hey Mike!! You have one of most informative content on concrete pours and finishes. So first, thank you for sharing. I’m down north in Ontario. I heard you mention many jobs sites in Maine where there are some freeze thaw cycles. And from what i’ve seen the stamped concrete holds up well. Would it hold up for 5-7 years in ontario where the negative temperature hits -30 Cand summer can be as high as +30 C. I’m think of doing a half inch overlay on existing 6 inch thick pad. This area is exposed to rain, snow and sun, needs to be shovled and will have salt over it. Its an outdoor balcony about 200 sq ft and has a pitch for drainage.

I’m a concrete contractor for 40 years in Northern California. I just found your videos. The biggest thing different that I’ve noticed between our techniques is here in Northern California during the summer it’s average is 85 to 95°. Concrete most of the time comes hot and I am not able to pour large jobs without any control joints because there will be cracks appearing in usually 5 to 12 hours after we finish. If you don’t put joints in in saw cut later. Do you ever have issues with cracks? do you ever put joints in on Pour day.

I might hire it out. I’m building a decently large one level ranch house about 3200-3500 square foot slab build. I think my cousins and a few friends . I’m guessing about 8 people that semi know what their doing probably will be able to knock it out. Do you think I should rent a couple power trowels for a slab that big?

@peters6850 Жыл бұрын

I know it's 2 years late and I'm not in the concrete business at the moment but I dealt in a casino for 12 years, if people don't know what to do, tell them what they should do and they usually listen and appreciate it. If they don't like what you have to say they'll make their own decision
