Before people whine that the slab didn't have a proof-like mirror finish encrusted in diamonds with gold nuggets embedded throughout, as they did in that other video, Andrew gives the customer what they ask for. If they want a chocolate slab, Andrew would go down to Colombia and harvest the cocoa beans (all by himself), helicopter the beans up to New York, fabricate some kind of chocolate refining machine in his workshop, and the customer would have a giant Hershey bar in their driveway within 3 days.

When they're older I want to try to convince my two grand sons to watch this channel over with me so they can learn what I have. The content is priceless...

I’ve done a bit of concreting in my time and as long as the owner is happy about the price and the way it was done then there should be no problem. Here in Australia we use heavier reo. Mesh and usually no extra rods around the outer edge and our mixture is a lot drier, but horses for courses. Usually really nice concrete slabs costs more than average ones and some ppl just don’t want to pay the extra. Love your videos Andrew

You might look into getting a tool called a walking edger. It's just a flat piece of metal with a curve on one side that puts a nice rounded groove down between the form board and the concrete. Makes it a lot cleaner when you pull the form boards off too, as it won't take the nicely floated top bit of concrete off since it's a nice tapered edge. That one detail makes good concrete work outstanding. I always enjoy your videos.

From a concrete finisher myself a few things I would recommend first you may want to straight edge the concrete to ensure your level with your forms. Also want to invest in a bull float and use it before your Fresno. Also want to put joints in the pad for a few reasons it gives it a design also when the concrete expands it will crack in the controlled joint not down the pad. Also need to edge your sides so they are not sharp and can cause cracks. Anytime your poring next to a building also use expansion.

Also.. for starters, use a cellulose fiber with your loads to minimize shrinkage cracking... Then once you understand that, move to a Steel (Structural) fiber and take out that wire mesh/rebar... never trusted that shit.. ANOTHER THING!!! Never spray the top of the concrete with water when bull floating it... I understand why people do it... if you need to do a very light coat for the “slickness”.. just use a very light coat...You can pop the top off doing that because your raising your water to cement ratio which in turn will make it weaker..

What i like the most about your videos is that if you mess up or make a mistake, you don't leave it out of the video. You'll explain what you did wrong. Keep making those videos!!

Dean no what logic is that? why would that be important? the client is a layman (so is the guy working here), you can sell him any slab, he will be happy and in the first year he wouldn't notice anything a professional actually would. the seller is also happy because he got paid. this logic😂

Always fun Andrew. I like how you understand that content has to have forward motion, i.e. your content always has relevancy, no matter how old. Your content always appeals to the same demographic, and continues to grow because of it. I have watched and deleted so many start ups that went corporate in their own minds. They got too big for their britches, so to speak. You on the other hand.. pour out vids that are captivating, thought provoking and interesting. Many people with actual brains appreciate you not ever changing your format from day one. I Hope you never change and keep producing superior content.

That's what I've said a couple times... edge it. I hope I don't get branded as a "hater" because I really enjoy his videos. I like the job he does, and I'm no pro so Andrew can listen to me or not. I just think that edging his pour would make it look better and make it less likely to rag up the edge when he pulls the forms. I'm not knocking him. Just something I would do different.

i've mixed my own concrete for slab that size, 2 people and pretty long day, no steel and no barrier, straight concrete at around 7 to 8" . No relief cuts as not tied into anything so it's own floating slab and ground compaction and stability very good. been down little over 20yrs no issues I didn't tool my corners either, didn't have tools for that, no big pole floats, just piece of wood and couple finishing trowels . Job jobbed, best get on with the next one :-)
