In this video I'll show you how I form a concrete slab that's 58' x 28' x 6" for a double wide mobile home.
I start forming the slab by laying out all the forms on each side. I like the forms to be a little longer than the actual measurements so I'll have enough form to screw the corners together.
I use smaller size boards to screw the longer forms together. After all the forms are screwed to length, I measure each side and mark my lengths so I can accurately screw the corners. 
I then square the slab by measuring my diagonals and making sure both are the same measurement.
Then I pin the slab in place using my metal stakes. I set the forms to grade with the laser level, a drill driver and screws.
Next, I install the wire mesh and rebar and I'm ready to pour.
