Super important to wear a mask when dumping the concrete out of the bag. That dust will hardened inside your lungs....

I love how that Husky is just living its best life & enjoying your company while you're hard at work!

A very Bob Ross style instuctional videos. I dont even need to do a concrete pad, or build a shed, but I enjoy the hell out of your videos. Well done good sir.

Good job on the video but few tips for beginners. On a smaller slab like that, where it mainly has foot traffic you don't need the reinforcement. You really only need that if the slab is going to hold weight like a vehicle or a shed. If you are doing this solo using a wheel barrow is much easier than a mixing tub. You just dump it out instead of shoveling or trying to lift the tub. If you want to help hold the slab in place, drive some 4 inch long rebar half way into the ground. Spreading them out in the middle of the slab.

This is what I needed to see to give me the confidence to pour my own pad for my grill!

I've seen a lot of videos on creating concrete slabs, but I've never seen one with this much detail and explanation. THE BEST VIDEO I'VE SEEN. Thanks a lot.

Put a few small rocks mid depth to support the metal mesh before pouring. Get it in the middle of the concrete thickness.

When rolling on the curing seal, use a threaded pole/handle. Most rollers are universally threaded and there’s probably a broom, mop, or other thing around to use.

Don't forget to tap your form all around the edges with a hammer/ mallet to allow the bubbles to rise to the top. Great video sir.

Just what I needed. Thank you for making such an easy to follow video. I had been wondering about using a tub vs wheelbarrow and some other items mentioned here. Thanks for listing them. You've made my job so much easier! Subscribed.

I thoroughly enjoyed sitting in my living room, watching the snow fall and dreaming of my next DIY project! Thanks!

Good job. A brother is always a plus to have around, I put mine to work every chance that I get

Nice job, a DIYer myself - love watching these simple videos, thanks.

Thanks for a great video! Beginning to build a pad in the backyard and now I have everything I need.

This really helped, I have a concrete slab walkway that is absolutely wrecked from hard Canadian winters and the previous homeowners not really caring to perform house/yard maintenance. So I really found this quite handy!

This is hands down the best instructional video on making a concrete slab, and it has given me the confidence to undertake such a project. Thank you for making such an effective and empowering video! Brilliant!

Never heard of a bunnyhug! Thanks so much for your channel, I'm learning so much. You're so knowledgeable without the ego.

Thank you for the video. I’ll be tackling this in a couple of weeks. It’s my first time doing this, but with your help, I’ll get it done!

These are the kind of videos I like simple and plain

This was a great tutorial. I'm about to make a slab for a 4x6 storage shed, and your video is very helpful. Thank you!

Nice step by step video. Dry times vary quite a bit depending on your area for anyone watching this and following these steps for guidance. 3 hours might be too long to wait for a finishing trowel.

This was the DIY concrete video, I've seen. Now I feel fully ready to complete my project. Thank you!

Canadians get the squarest 2x4's! This is a great video, btw, thanks for this!

you earned a sub with this one - I needed an instructional video on pouring a slab for a generator and this was perfect. Thanks!

Excellent video as usual my friend. I've been wanting to do a pad like this next to the driveway for my garbage bins.

great instruction you and your brother undertook great way of preparing mixing and dropping concrete in to the space then level out reinforcement deterimined by traffic using it sitting on it.

Phenomenal video and killer weekend project! I have a space identical to this at the bottom of my porch stairs, ready to tackle it!

This was fun to watch. I'm going to try this in the Spring. Thank you!

Thank you for explaining every step of this process and adding tips. This was extremely helpful and gave me the confidence to make a pad for my stairs in my garden.

That Husky is in chill mode! Thanks for the video. Really helpful

My background is Italian, and this great video helped me. Thanks for reminding me about the steel mesh or rebar for extra strength, the sealer for longevity, and the cement surface's preservation. Nice educational video for your DIY projects,

Thank you for telling how long to wait between each step, very helpful

Thanks Jesse. I’m a funeral director in Cyprus and now and again I do simple grave monuments and surrounds and I’m a total amateur. Videos like this truly help me a lot. Keep up the good work. Cheers 👍

thanks for this great video. i just laid a concrete step coming out my back door for the first time. your video taught me everything.

great video, great comments on the process as you did things. thank you for the simple how to video.

You made it look so easy!! I feel more confident now!

So glad I found your video. I was considering dry pour due to being intimidated by this process but you really helped my anxiety about it!

Great video! I feel like I could go out and do this. Thank you for the tip on the sealer to avoid having to use the water for curing.

Great job Jesse! Thanks for sharing.

Great video. I plan to put in a shed next year and will be using this again to help me put in my pad.

Great design, and Craftsmanship! Well done!

Love those big tubs for the smaller jobs. . Bought my first one probably 40 years ago and never mixed in a wheelbarrow again.

What a great video!! I'll be doing some concrete work on my house a l little at a time because my back can only take so much 😂 and your video really helped me, A+ on your editing and Instructions and guidance while making the video. I was wondering why you weren't using the wheel barrel to mix the cement but then realized you saved the grass clippings and your dirt you scrapped up at the beginning, smart man 🫡 keep up the good work!!

Thanks for the Calculator, the only one that would do my small 43" x 30" Pad !!!

Excellent details in this short video. Keeping it to the point and still fun to watch.

Love your supervisor!😁

Thanks. Great video. You patience and instruction are well done. I will get to do my slab on my own. Hiring someone to do this is a nightmare.

Great video. Never did any concrete work before but im feeling confident to tackle my first project...BTW I have what i thought was an old concrete mixer in my garage i was about to put on the curb til i seen this. Now i think im going to try to use it pretty soon. You might have saved me a few hundred 😅.

You make it look so simple, step by step😊 thank you

Thank you very much for taking the time to post this, sir! Subscribed

Great video!!! This is my weekend project!! Well done. Simple clear instructions! Thanks

Your dog looks so excited:). Thanks,

I’ll soon be attempting this for a fire pit in my backyard. Thanks for the tips!!

Awesome video... you inspired me to make a small slab for my grills and motorcycle...

Thank you for this brother. Needed a side gig so had to lie on a application this will at least make it look like I got basic beginner knowledge and skills and will allow me to be with a company you that I can better my skills and learn hands on in just never like going in knowing nothing at all. Thank you. I know that sounds bad but I work hard but times are harder right now lol

Very clear, good explanations. Thank you!!!

Well done.. Easy to follow and nicely filmed with good audio.

Nice pour. Good to see someone on youtube actually putting the work in and mixing their concrete lol.

Thank you! Answered all my questions.

great video. very easy to follow and you included the tools and materials . I appreciate it.

Thank you. Great and easy to understand thorough instructions.

I needed help because I’ve never done concrete before. I’m a grandma who loves a project! My garage floor is 3/4 blacktop which is great because the original concrete floor is awful- porous, holes, never ending cement dust. I just wish the previous owners had done the whole floor!?! Now I’m trying to resurface the remaining 1/4 with a 2in layer of new concrete. I’m doing a 5x4’ pad 1st because I’m doing it alone and can’t mix more than 30lbs. at a time so I can lift the 5 gallon pail to pour it in the form. I was worried when I finished smoothing it out level because it was so wet on top. I grabbed my phone so I could find a video to show me what to do. Yours was the first to pop up and am I glad. You explained the process perfectly and now I know that I have to wait and finish it off when it dries more. Thank you so much. Too many of the videos are for people that know what they’re doing and they’re too complicated or expect me to know things that I don’t. I’m subscribing to your channel so I can get more instructions on home projects. 😊

Nice easy to followed video thanks . Looks good .

Excellent tutorial, i will be doing my first pad tomorrow and this was very helpful

Great job man. You make it look easy. Nice finish in the end, its worth doing all the steps that i didnt know about. Hello from Ireland.

Dude, you did an awesome job. Made it feel stress free. I subscribed.

Excellent video. One of the best I've seen.👍

This is the best DIY vid I’ve seen on UKposts

Well done great job , thank you for a very informative video, will be trying this in the summer ...much appreciated ....

The dog is the coolest thing about this video.

Nice clear instructions with no extra “blah blah blah”. Nice work on the slab. Like to see whatever comes in the future. Sub’d. 🇨🇦👍🏼

That's a fine looking concrete slab. Thanks. I enjoyed the video.

Love it! Going to do just that ,but a walkway instead. Thanks.

Great work! Thanks for the video. 👍

Inspires me to try it myself. Thanks so much.

Looks just so nice, thank you.

Bro, thanks for this vid. This is roughly the size of slab I’m going to need to do in my backyard. My job is between the foundation slab and the paver walkway, which are held in place by 2x4’s. You’ve got a new subscriber here bro. I’m not much of a handyman and this Vid was perfect for me as you went step-by-step. 🙌🏼

This has inspired me to lay a shed base - thanks

Very helpful thanks Jesse! My project came out pretty good this vid was a huge help! Cheers!

Excellent teaching video. Just what I needed

Hats off to your step by step ability dude lol. A couple things I'd have done differently but irregardless good job. 👍

Nice job and easy to understand.

perfect video. Thanks so much.

I would have used the square to mark it and the spade to dig lol but that's me.There are actually tricks you can do like put a board across the middle to hold the middle from bowing out simply have higher stakes and screw the board up higher above the surface allowing you to work underneath. As to the pour i would be ok making the first several bags a bit wetter because they will keep the bottom from getting too dry too fast by the dry stones or simply spray some water on the stones. Something many forget or don't know is that concrete is never a perfect pour there wil be areas wetter softer than otehrs and those areas will likely SINK a bit.So there are two ways to fix that go over the pour minimum 3x i prefer 4 for perfection and or to pour with a bit of a crown instead of the perfectly flat screed method. Finally and perhaps very important is to not use an aluminum trowel but to just use a magnesium float .Trust me if you float it 4x your broom job will look amazing you just can't float it before it is ready it needs to dry a bit each time.I have many times still got an amazing finish flaoting 3x but so many people including contractors are not organized or impatient and will only float it 2x and unless your weather if perfect temperature perfect the mix is perfect you won't get the preferred finish.

Great job and well explained

Extremely helpful. Thanks!!

Best video out there for this project.

Excellent educational video!

I like this guy. Good video.

Great video! Thank for that

Your general attitude towards work + life is really inspiring!

Terrific and informative video.TY!

loved this video, such clear instruction

You are a good teacher. Thanks for sharing.

Nice job! You made this easy-peesy and everyone should be able to do it if the take their time and follow these simple instructions. Thanks for this sensible alternative to all the useless dry-pour vids that are encouraging folks to create poor hard surface things (can’t really call them concrete).

Lovely video will try this to do my patio

Thank you! Best video! Your dog is so cute too!

I really enjoyed this video, And I really appreciate your style/energy. I’m planning to do something very similar at my house in the coming weeks, and your tips just increased my confidence and overall knowledge of how to approach this, thank you for that!

Tebrik ederim çok başarılı 👏👏💯

GREAT instructions thanks!
