#PouringConcreteFloors #Vibra-Screed #MikeDayConcrete
In this video I'm showing you how to pour a concrete floor using a power-screed. This is a concrete floor for a new house and the floor area is about 2200 square feet.
We used a new Vibra-Screed from MBW, Inc called the ScreeDemon.
Screeding concrete floors with a vibra screed is pretty easy if you watch how we do it and use our techniques. The important thing to watch is the two people raking the concrete behind the vibra screed. If they know what they are doing, the screeding is the easy part.
If you watch the video until the end, you'll see if I let Tia run the vibra screed and if she did a good job. Let me know in the comments what you think?

Mike,small tip, mount your laser receiver rod stake on a plasters' hawk. Set the hawk upside down, flat side on the floor. With a 3' rod stake ,the receiver becomes self supporting . The benefit is you'll take many more shots because it will always be nearby.

Hi. Great video, thanks. I'm in the UK and laying around 66yds2 (11x6), with a fall in both directions. The 11yd side falls by 12", the 6yd side by 5". I want to use a power screed. Would you work from the low point to high, or high to low? I've never done anything this large before, so any advice would be really helpful. Thanks.

She was the point guard. She led the team in points, steals, and assists. I can't remember her exact averages. She won back to back State championships (the only ones the school has ever won in over 100 years. She was also a Miss Maine Basketball semi-finalist as one of the best girls players in the entire state.
