I'm embarking on a journey to build a completely over-the-top shed in my backyard that I hope turns out to be a secluded oasis to enjoy with the family. I have never done anything like this before so every step will be a learning opportunity. In this first episode I clear the area and pour a 15'x16' concrete foundation for the eventual 12'x16' shed that I designed.
You'll see that don't exactly get off to the best start but I won't let it slow me down. We will overcome!
I will be documenting the whole thing including a cost breakdown as I go. Whether you are thinking of building a shed of your own or just want to watch a guy fumble his way through it - sit back and enjoy!
Please let me know what you think! Also get subscribed so you can follow along on what will most definitely be an interesting ride.

When you want to remove a tree root ball along with the tree. You want to cut the tree 5 to 6 feet above the ground. You now have leverage as you cut the roots with ax or saw. You begin to rock it back & forth as you cut the Individual roots off. This way you are working smarter not harder. Once roots are cut & the root ball is free, you cut the 5 to 6 foot of tree above ground level. Thanks for the new series & keep up the good work.

@derekdunbar9636 Рік тому

Just use 2x6 studs and overhang your framing then trowel in stucco/cement mix under to flush out the slab

@michaelzdanis3979 Рік тому

I'm afraid the parallelogram is the least of your problems with the slab. The more significant one is that most of it is sitting on un-compacted fill that will settle over time, taking your slab out of level - and your shed along with it. If you needed to bring in fill, you needed to bring it in with something much larger than hand tools and REALLY compact it so it could bear the load of the shed (together with any snow load the shed might have to hold if that applies in your climate). Also, if you are in an area that freezes, the "footers" that the concrete guy put in almost certainly aren't deep enough to get below the frost layer - the shed is going to heave.

@ShopNation Рік тому

Sheesh! And here I am hopeful for the project 😂

@michaelzdanis3979 Рік тому

@@ShopNation There is the sunk cost fallacy - proceeding with the current course because you already have $3,200 plus a considerable amount of sweat equity in that slab. However, that course may (probably will) lead to considerable disappointment downstream as the slab shifts and tilts over time. Rather than take the word of a bunch of commenters on UKposts, I might suggest consulting a expert or two in your area (consulting engineer - I know you have engineering background but don't know how much you might know about geoengineering), foundation specialist etc. Those consultations shouldn't cost a ton, but could save a lot of grief and disappointment down the road later, even if it means tearing out the slab and starting with a different foundation.

@srmofoable Рік тому

@@michaelzdanis3979 my man..... take a step back and look at the over all picture. You're falling into a trap of your own. This is a lawn mower shed he's filming for youtube content. Your talking about digging footers 32" below grade for a shed to avoid first heave. That's asinine. Furthermore, you're talking out your ass. This is a monolithic slab, well above grade, poured way too thick, and reinforced well above what's necessary, and practically no weight on it. When it heaves in the winter, it will move as a slab. Sure he should have used chips and dust as a base, and he should have actually tied the rebar together, and used sufficient chairs to keep it elevated , and probably even picked a better concrete guy. But to suggest he should tear out $3k in concrete and replace it for a shed is foolish. He should take it as a learning lesson, buy a book or 2 the next time (published content is far better resource than the million opinions you find on the internet), and move on. I'm guessing his concrete guy knew the concrete guy that did my back patio before I bought the place. One side is literally 6" longer than the other. I didn't even notice for 3 years until I put a hot tub on it and noticed the control joints did not run parallel with the tub. .... should I tear it out and start over too?

Great video as always, and yes you tend to go all out on projects. This building will be a great place for you to bond with your children & your wife and it will keep your garage / shop from getting cluttered. It will be a great place to have a cold one or two and do messy projects. I’m wait to see part two. I’m building an 8 12 shed for my son who lives 4 hours away. He had the slab poured earlier and I’m framing the shed at my shop and will be hauling it there to assemble and finish. I wish us both luck even though you’re building may already be complete and waiting for video editing. 👍

@running_rich Рік тому

Good series! I built the same size shed w/ single dormer used as a pool shed w/ loft. Because of the cost and location, a slab wasn't practical. So I framed a floor system on 6 concrete blocks. The shed came out great, looked like a little cottage. Unfortunately I should have poured footings, I'm sure the blocks settled later with freeze/thaw. I moved from there 20 years ago, but the shed is still visible on Google maps.

@aaronalquiza9680 Рік тому

the first (and so far, only) time i did a similar project, i put gravel on top of my soil as a sub-base for the concrete. once gravel is tamped the fuck down, it will be solid and as flat as possible so it gives less problems with concrete application. i live in canada so frost heaving is a big problem here if sub-base is not done correctly. the rebar chairs would be a bit more useful if they're on flatter base holding the rebars. in any case, i'm looking forward to the rest of the build!

Awesome video as usual. Can't wait to see more, even though you may already be finished -- One way to fix the slab issue is build a frame for flooring on top of the slab itself. That way when the slab cracks or shifts you can fix it with shims to bring it level again. That is how Tuff-Shed built my shed.

Parallelogram..... that is the nicest description of this slab possible!! Didn't compact the fill dirt. Didn't add any gravel. Rebar.....even though added is to far apart and not tied together so it's basically useless. Footers aren't below the freeze line unless you are in south Florida or Texas. I don't think being out of square is the biggest concern.

@dhammer5645 Рік тому

I was helping my boss stake out a slab for a garage, we checked the diagonals and he's said oh wow we're good. I found out the next day or so he was reading a foot different. Lucky for me I was holding the dumb end if the tape. It was found out before the pour so not a huge mistake but definitely could of been.

@PunkR0ckz09 Рік тому

So, I'm gonna put this here for whatever it may be worth; I had a garage built on sonotubes, which where 5ft deep (1ft below freezing), and then the "floor" of my garage was.....soil and sand (I live on an agricultural land that was once used for agricultural, but sold about 35 years ago to my mom for residential use), it wasn't tightly compacted at all. We poured 6in of concrete with rebar sheets on there, and leveled it to the best of our abilities (I didn't hire someone). The darn slab, although not entirely level, was hard to break (an excavator could lift it up entirely from the ground and it was still holding its own after pushing it (trying to break it) and it had no cracks at all during the 5 years I had it before needing to demolish it for my new house. It took 6 tries to break it. It was semi-reinforced though, I asked for half of what they put regularly as I didn't want to pay the full price and I just wanted a bit more rigidity. I believe your best bet "to make it right" would be to do the piers/sonotubes as quickly as possible, and then, when the slab AND the piers are fully cured, put a lot of heavy stuff on it to help it "settle" a bit quicker into its final position (like vehicules and whatnot). It will not make much of a difference, but the added 2-3-4-5 tons of stuff you can put on it will help the slab to "lower" and "compact" the ground (in my opinion at least). Good luck and hopefully it turns out great!

Thanks for the construction sequence. Nice to see how others get the job done. Things always happen during construction and I always tell my contractors (for my home projects) that I will be performing the inspections for QC purposes. I am still surprised that the slab is out of square especially since he measured and put a string to it several times. Maybe his staking was too loose and the last-minute edge form knocked the slab out of square. If it were my slab I probably would have compacted the fill better, laid down gravel, and set some criteria on how the concrete would be placed. Also, he put the rebar on chairs but then drove over the rebar. From my experience, you could see some slab cracking in the future. At the end of the day, the job got done and won't be noticed by the layperson.

Not sure why this popped up on my feed but love it. My shed has a 12 inch slab and to be honest I have not idea why I wend so high but I love it. Mine had to be inspected. I'm in Miami, Fuck me, was rejected due to inspector not understanding architects drawing. Had to get architect to notate drawing so it would pass. Also did overkill on rebar and had fiber in concrete. Would you have done a skid steer if you had to do it again? Skid will hold half a yard to almost a yard of concrete i think

@Fesraw Рік тому

I work as a civil construction cost estimator and I was astounded that the typical LA prices were so similar to yours! When you order concrete from a truck it’s always right around $1,000 whether it’s one yard or ten. They hit you with the short load fees and the waiting fees and the washout fees. Roughly $50/CY for import soil, $1/SF on rebar (I was expecting 6x 40’ bars or 12x 20’ bars if you’re doing 12” OC) but it looks like you’re rocking a thicker bar with a wider spacing than the typical structures I look at. Like what some of the other comments have said, the prep for this might cause problems. You put import dirt on soil with TONS of organics in it. That “deleterious material” is going to decay and disappear over time causing voids under your structure. You need to clear and grub the topsoil to get rid of all the stuff that’s going to decay, then add your known good import soil add a little bit of water, and compact (not just tamp the top inch with a square) edit: since it’s mainly a home for your mower it’s no big deal, just know it’ll eventually crack - but who cares, it’s a shed!

With the extra thick footing all the way around the perimeter going down to the original soil everything should be fine. Looks like you had plenty of rebar to keep things locked together. Will it crack? Possibly, but all concrete cracks. Will it settle and have a hallow space? Yes. Pretty typical for garage floors, front steps, walkouts to be hollow under the concrete overtime. It’s a small lightweight shed i wouldn’t worry about it. The guy should have had at least 2 other laborers there.

Just a thought. I hope you never need it, but it might be wise to hedge yourself against the worst.

What about building the base (sill plate) so that it splits the difference?

I'm no professional, just a thought.

@LostApathyDotCom Рік тому

No need to even split the difference - just build it square and let the sill plates hang over the edge of the concrete a little bit. Lots of houses end up this way. If you're really worried about it, frame the wall with the overhang with 2x6's - you'd lose about the same amount of space, but at least you're back to square.

@brucegibson8053 Рік тому

All Michael Zdanis said is very true. You should correct your slab problems before continuing your project. It's only going to get worse as you go a long. My advice (if you choose to follow it) is to tear out the slab, compact the soil, dig your footings, set your forms, then pour the concrete. Prior to all of this, go to your building dept. and find out if you need a permit (if needed). You didn't show us if you had a set of plans, but you stated that you had plans of "watching the college games" out there. This means (to me, anyhow) that you plan on having electrical installed? If so, you'll have to get the "shed" electrical inspected. A permit (if needed) not only helps you with insurance (electrical fire or other ) but will help increase the value of your home if you decide to sell. You spent the money on a architect, why did you stop there? Permits will cost you a small amount of money, but they'er there to protect you from mishaps like you're facing now. As it is, you haven't got a leg to stand on as far as the slab goes. I hope all goes well with your project and that others will learn from it.

For everyone, always check your form. Check for square, it's easy but do it before pouring. Pull measurements and have your concrete guys adjust if needed.
