Nice mixing machine. Seems nice to just pour sackcrete in the hopper and mixes water automatic according to setting. 👍 good job!

You buy a $3000 mud mixer and purchase $200 of bagged concrete instead of renting a U-cart that comes with 1 yard of concrete in it to save money?? Not to mention having to lift 60 bags!! 🙄🙄

This is a project I have been put off for few years, I am in Nevada so NOW is that perfect time, actually around May which is a darn fine month to be working outdoors, I expended 1K on a short load on the side of the property to make the shed there as this would give me the max space of almost 7 ft x 28 but I think I will do something like this like 16 x 12 which is a good size shed or maybe a future small room; awesome video; I am about to get the Mudmixer; cant do this without it.

Great tutorial. You did it for half the cost of a big box store shed, and you used 16" OC and 2x4's. They use 24" or more OC and 2x3's.

Just saying....if you have the ring belt parallels straight...and all rafters lower corners where they sit are made exactly the same...(in case not calibrated wood always measure from the part that side which will be on the top) there is no need for no strings or other sorcery....they just fit...and everything will be fine :)

Bag mixes like that always have a ton of bleed water. They aren't designed to be poured but placed and worked. Because of that they often require a lot of extra effort. Your pour will not achieve the 5000psi strength it was designed to because you used too much water 8:00

Curious if you've done any similar pours with a regular barrel mixer? You mentioned that it took 2-1/2 hours just to do the pour with the mud mixer, but it seems like you spent a LOT of time waiting on the mixer to dribble out the concrete. With a commercial-grade mixer from a rental yard, that would take 5 batches and you'd have the whole slab poured in 30 minutes. And a little 2-3cuft DIY mixer, with one guy running the mixer and one spreading the concreate, could do that pour in under an hour.

This book is awesome! kzfaq.infoUgkxzaRUJNcbypw-fRBDbqqz43ULIa-1EGP- It has loads of pictures and videos, and it shows you everything you need to know about tiny homes. It covers all the basics of a house, from plumbing to electricity. It also has some cool floor plans of some of the most popular tiny homes out there. I had a blast reading this book and learning so much. The only thing that bugged me was that the description said it had floor plans, but it didn't say how few there were.

The sill insulation is normally hammer stapled to the bottom of the base plate before placing it. If your base plate system was square and your corners were plumb, then the top plates are square as well. Each wall should have been plumbed and secured with a temporary diagonal brace as they were stood up. The big error may have been not using treated base plates which are commonly used for wood/concrete contact.

May want to comment that any wood in contact with concrete needs to be pressure treated. I see that you're using a pressure treated sill plate, but you didn't mention why. Specially, since a lot of amateurs are using this video, it may be beneficial to explain about the moisture and the benefits of the pressure-treated sill plate.

Concrete max count probably off if you calculated bags based on 2x4 slab when a 2x4 is actually 3.5” tall, not 4”. Good work, I’m excited to try one of these Mud Mixers in person.

@chrisdaniel1339 8 ай бұрын

One of the reasons you had so many extra bags left over was because you mixed your concrete with way too much water taking the place of concrete mix. Per QUIKRETE instructions use 6 pints (3 quarts) of water per 80 lb bag of mix, final water is 6-9 pints. The mix is supposed to be thick and chunky with a 2-3" slump (a 12" tall cone is filled with concrete, probed with a rod to remove air, and then the cone is lifted to see how much height the cone loses which is the slump measurement), people all the time add too much water and their 4,000 psi concrete is now not even close to that spec. The Mud Mixer is so much easier and fast than mixing in a wheelbarrow or mixing tray

Nice video. Two things I noticed - you had chairs on your list but did not see you use them to elevate the mesh and your concrete bags were too far back on the truck. The load should be over the wheels or as far forward as possible.

Im gonna buy a solar panel place it on a pole and run a wire to my (future) shed to maintain a battery that ligths up led ligths in the shed. Saw another youtuber do that. They sell the online. Also you can buy a solar fan to cool off your shed and place it on one of the intake grill and place anothe grill for out. That can helps keep things cool in summer...love how everyone gives tips and that help us DIY better our skills..keep it up bud🤠👍⭐

I want to build 2 sheds and just saved your videos and another youtuber for pointers. Is incredible the INSANE prices for a shed today compared to cost $1200-1800 just 3 years ago. Rather build my own and insulated it with fiberglass or foam board. Got a used BadBoy 54" for $2500 in excellent condition. Yea...those (riding mowers) also went up in price insane!!! Great job friendly neighbor 🤠👍⭐

You need to check out the Cajun Couple to learn their patented dry pour method. You would have saved so much effort on that slab, plus you would have only had to redo it a few years later. Love that mud mixer. such a nice machine.

@wiltheisen7873 Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the comment. If you know what you are doing, it goes pretty fast. For me, it was a slow start, but after the third or fourth bag, it went faster. I think the concrete pouring itself only took 2.5 - 3 hours. The floating and trowel work took another couple of hours.

The wording I think you were looking for on the wedge anchors would be from R403.1.6 Foundation anchorage "There shall be a minimum of two bolts per plate section with one bolt located not more than 12 inches (305 mm) or less than seven bolt diameters from each end of the plate section" Also, the wedge anchor manufacturer will recommend a minimum of 28 set days for the concrete before drilling and installing a wedge anchor with some builders rushing it in 7-10 days or sooner.

Oh wow, that must be frustrating. No, I did not have that issue. If I had that issue and had rented the machine, I would have returned it to the rental place and let them know. There must be something that can be adjusted. If I owned it, I would have contacted the manufacturer. I understand their customer service is solid.

Awesome job on the slab. Only comment I would say is you probably should have created control joints within the slab. Cracks may form overtime. Otherthan that you did awesome. Love the video

Thank you. I hear you on the joints. I did consider that. Given our soil type, and the rock base I used, I decided to move forward without joints. I understand it may crack.
