I used about 1 1/2 tons of gravel, 1 full ton of sand, and 8 bags of Portland cement. Thanks for watching.

    Love watching you work. My work ethic is similar. Way to go! 😊

    Great job Jeff. You really demonstrate that anybody is capable of doing a basic concrete pad themselves so long as they understand the basics.

    Looking really good….I’m enjoying this series Jeff. Keep the videos coming 🤝

    A lot of work! Some thing I picked up while pouring was to do the 321 mix in buckets I got a more consistent mix. Good luck

    Hello Jeff from S.E. Florida I've been wanting to do this same thing just not as big as yours, I built my back patio roof back in 2020' over a tiny 10"×10' slab that came with the house. I've built my roof 36'×14', and want to fill in the areas around the 10'×10' slab so I can inclose it into a screened patio, and brother you have really inspired me to do so. I just wanted to take my hat off to you brother and " NICE WORK, BEAUTIFUL JOB' Thank you for taking us along with your future garage project. Can't wait to see your finished work God Bless you

    I've been watching your series. Your doing a great job! You motivated me to make concrete fence posts (5"x5"x6' with 4 pieces of rebar) I built a wood mold that disassembles. It's also adjustable for length of posts. The reason for concrete fence posts? I hate wood fence posts and the way they fall apart, rot in the ground, not really all that strong, etc. The drawback, is that each post weighs as much as me. About 180 lbs. So far I've made four (4) of them. They turned out awesome. I use a saber saw without the blade to vibrate the mold to get air bubbles out. It works well.

    That's a lot of really hard work. But outstanding results. You're really going to appreciate that when it's done and feel smart because you saved so much money 👍

    I don’t really know why I look forward to seeing these videos, but I’m really excited to see them when they pop up on my feed

    Really good to see a young man that's not afraid of hard work. Looking good 👍 👍

    I love it. I’m gonna do the same thing with my shed. Mainly because I like working alone and a concrete truck can’t get to where i am.
  • Interesting to fill with so much cement. I usually use class 5 to fill to grade or just below and run a cheap harbor freight plate compactor over the top. With that thick of the alab wont it take a long time to cure?

    Great job, Jeff! I hope I will our 30'x40' pad comes out as well. We will be doing it in 10'x10 sections.

    Good job Jeff! You could save yourself a lot of time by filling a 55 gal.drum up with water before hand and use a bucket to pour the water in mixer instead of slow water hose every mix. Just saying. I enjoy your vids!
