you pay some one to do the hard work, love. the skill is "having the means" to do so, 3006. i know, i was that digger, before any diddy kobotas were known in albion.

Good job mate, very tidy. 👍🏻 Most inspectors I deal with never ask for steel in the slab but ask for visqueen under and over the insulation.

Old guy showed me a great tip years ago and I always do it now.have a length of 4’’,damp lay it over the concrete from side to side and gently seesaw it back and foe once the concrete has picked up a bit just as you were doing with the timber tamper,take your time and you get a superb finish,it’s all about getting the concrete at the right stage of curing before you start rubbing it up with the damp. Great work too by the way👍

Fantastic work in all videos, I especially like the pointing one, I'm debating if to do it ourselves to save money but it's just getting up high worry about. Our house is over 100 years ago I think last time was pointed must of been over 30 years ago or more letting alot of water in now going on the walls. Brilliant video thanks

Just a tip for anyone else doing concrete, it needs to cover all the steel so don't butt the mesh to the shutter! Leave minimum 35mm👍

Agreed. Minimum cover to reinforcement. Out of interest would you have pokered this slab?

@Engineer9736 5 жыл бұрын

Nice that you’re building your own house! But, keep in mind that different areas around the world have different building codes, caused by different soil and climate (frostline, humidity, etc). What’s code and perfect in the UK may not work well in Russia. Investigate it good to prevent problems over time. And have the foundation calculated by an actual engineer.. everything on top of the foundation depends on the foundation. If the foundation cracks then it’s goodbye home

Just to join the fun I moved away from the trowel about 5 years ago and have an architectural design biz . When on the tools I did floor details just like that(although not as tidy or flat!!!!) These days everyone wants underfloor heating so I draw them with celotex over as it deflects the heat upwards. I'm not judging I promise just joining the convo!!!!!

Great vid stu, only things we do differently on site is put a layer of visqueen down under the kingspan and lap it over the common so when the ground under the slab settles the insulation is held to the underside of the slab.

That’s what we did Johnathon. Visqueen underneath insulation and lapped up over commons
