Hand pouring a concrete rat slab under a stair landing
Mixing concrete with a kobalt cement mixer to pour a rat slab under a stairwell . This will keep critters and moisture from getting under the steps. Foam insulation was placed under the floor to help keep the cold air out in the winter time.

    Not to be cheap but you could have used a lot less bags of concrete mix you are supposed to use gravel for drainage and for slab movement that slab is going to move and lead to cracks what was you thinking ? Always use atleast 2 to 3 inches of gravel do it once so it right

    Constantly stomping the wire down? Doesn't look like it is actually going to actually reinforce the concrete. Road work rebar/wire is suspended off the roadbed and not left down in the dirt.

    • @glennwiacek4705
      @glennwiacek4705 ปีที่แล้ว

      Normally we use stands for the wire and rebar. Unfortunately not a thick slab but as we go along he is constantly pulling up the mesh into the concrete and as he does that the aggregate in the concrete holds it off the dirt.
