How to pour a concrete slab by yourself. One man concrete slab pour.
I'm going to show all you beginners and diy'rs how to pour a 16' x 12' concrete slab all by yourself.
This could be for a small garage slab, a shed slab, a patio slab or a small slab for a driveway.
If you set the top of your forms to your finished slab height, that makes screeding the concrete much easier.
Just pour out your concrete and spread & level it like I'm doing, then mag float your edges. (this makes screeding a little easier)
Screed the concrete level with the top of your forms.
Then bull float the concrete smooth.
If you want to learn how to smooth finish or broom finish the concrete like I do, then check out my training in The Concrete Underground below.

I've been a finisher in Reno for 43 years & never saw that little trick with the chute turning it around like you did until now, pretty damn great idea when you don't have room to pull the truck ahead! Just goes to show that you can learn something new even if you are old as dirt! Thanks

I poured 10 yards a day to make a 40x195 slab. It was for a mini storage building. Every day I completed about 18'-19' X 40'. I was finished after 11 days of pouring. I did it myself. I bought a 24' 4" square tube of aluminum, added 2 2x6 connected to it with 30" bars to act as a counter weight. I put 2 winches on each side of the aluminum tube. I poured a 6 slump with fiber. It was a good system and saved a lot of money. I thought it was kind of fun. The finish wasn't as good as yours but no customer has complained so far. I love your videos. Thanks for all your information

I worked with a guy in Fairfield County CT back in the mid '90s who was a master craftsman and concrete worker- no forms, just floors. After a job, he said go home and get a good night's sleep, we have big job tomorrow...little did I know. At the end of the next day, the two of us poured and finished the entire basement of a 12k ft home in Greenwich- 40 yards. Never worked that hard since.

About a 4-4.5" slump and a good mix in sweater weather, perfect! One thing i love here in Indiana, no matter where u go we have forward discharge trucks, no need for handling the chute. A seasoned driver lays it down solid enough where you dont even have to come along, just screed it down and get on a float

Cut them an inch shorter or so…… and finally spray some oil on the inside of the form so when the slab is dry the form comes off easily. Good luck

Been there, done that. No where near as easy as it looks. Hard on the old back. Will have to say though, that any driver worth his pay would have jumped on the other side of that screed.

@Charles Bovard oh, I didn’t catch that in the video. But, I guess in all fairness as well, if he wanted to film a solo pour than yeah I guess he would decline the help. The point a made still stands; a decent guy would offer to help, especially when you can see a one or two guy crew busting their butts to get it down. I poured a lot of concrete in the past with one or two guys and about 1/3 of the drivers would offer a hand. Not that it was always needed or expected, but offering to help is just what a decent person does.

Definitely a one man pour, I'd send my laborer to do it himself and he knows to vibrate concrete as well:) maybe get some proper screeds not just a heavy strate edge if you have back problems, make a hard job easy not a hard job harrder

@@joshuagibbs2415 Yeah I was wondering why he didn't have a vibrator to go over it before he began screeding it. I always thought that you had to do that to get out the air gaps. I'm not a concrete guy though.

I agree, when I worked alone I would request a driver I knew and trusted to pour the mud, and I always tipped the driver.
