This is not a how to video but just to show how we did it. We think it turned out great. This will be the floor to a storage building. We will frame walls on top of the concrete and put a door and a couple of windows in. There will be no heavy weight or any vehicles on this slab so it should be just fine. Lots of people hate this method and I understand so we will see how it holds up long term. I watched many videos prior to doing this and for this kind of use I've seen no issues long term. Thanks for watching!!!

Looks good! I used dry pour over 25 years ago for the fence posts, walkway and porch on my house. Still there. My house was far from commercial concrete so there were expensive surcharges. Dry pour was easy for me to do by myself. This technique has a place for DIY. People here saying it’s easy to learn how to finish wet concrete-- well, ain’t easy if you ain’t interested in learning skills that won’t be looking good on the first and only time. My time and energy go to learning other skills Imwill use more often. I haven’t seen anyone advocating to use dry pour method to create residential or commercial building foundations - but a shed or walkway? Absolutely.

Been test saying it's as strong as the bag says it is, concrete companies are trying to go to a 2500psi mix on residential slabs so i don't see any problems with the dry pour over ready mix, especially when you get lazy finishers dumping 20-30 gallons of added water in the truck to make their job easier, nicely done
