This is something that if you know after watching some of my videos I think you guys could probably do yourself So that's why we're bringing you this video. It's a great starter concrete floor for you beginners out there I'm case you guys don't know me my name is Mike day.

It's it's a pretty chilly day out. It's about 50 degrees It's cloudy. It's kind of damp and the concrete temperature in the truck It's usually about 60 degrees So and then once you dump it on the ground it's not cooling down So if you don't have any accelerator through it on a day like today It's gonna be there all day long At you know, it's a business you can't be there all day A bag of calcium is gonna help it dry a little bit quicker We're probably pouring about a five between a five and a six inch slump and That's a pretty good workable slump I work I'm working for the general contractor on this job. This isn't my job He just hires me to come in and pour the floor and they didn't want any wire mesh in this But we did put fiber mesh in the concrete. So it's got fiber mesh for reinforcement, but no wire in this garage As you can see it's got a crushed rock for a sub base So what we're doing is we're just pouring out the concrete and Now we're magging our edges. We do have a chalk line a blue chalk line snapped around there for our grade And we mag our pads to that blue chalk line So we're getting all the concrete poured out we pour out something this small we pour out just about the whole thing Before we stop and start straight edge in You can see that's me there mag in the edge right now So we'll get our edges maged and Get the concrete kind of fine graded kind of tuned in pretty close and Then we can just grab the straight edge and use those maged edges as Our guide to straight edge the floor And we're kick screen this so we're slightly Walking backwards and kicking our boots to fill in our boot holes as we straight edge Now you guys can just if you can't kick to create you can just pull the straight edge three or four times and stop set back Pull it again three or four times and stop and set back That's that's one way of learning It doesn't take very long to pour a garage like this this this garage took five yards of concrete So we're getting it poured out. This is a 3,500 psi concrete to with a like I said fiber mesh in it We'll get it all screed it out and Then we can run the bull float over it and The bull float is going to smooth that out push those rocks down bring up the cream and the paste and Make it nice and easy to finish. I do have another video about power trolling if you guys want to learn about that. I'll have that video At the end of this one so you can you can click on that one and watch if you want to see how we power trial floors As you can see that bull float makes it nice and smooth Again guys if you like these kind of videos go ahead down there and hit subscribe now and don't forget to To check out that Facebook page so you can learn about all kinds of other information on concrete I Have a little bit of different information on there sometimes And if you guys are looking to get into this business I mean, I'm always putting out videos about learning concrete and if you need any of these tools I'll have this other links form down in the description guys you can check them out down in those links I also have another beginner concrete floor for you guys to watch so check that video out and thanks for watching guys
