    If you fell for it, consider subscribing to our channel and sharing video wirh friends of yours in the construction business. The reason we got it so wrong is because we know how to do it right, we just did the opposite for
    this video. 😆
    Thanks for watching.

      @@snakespear-1 I am aware of duplex nails, of course I've never called them that, but their use is to hold framing in place, and still have a head to pull them out with a claw hammer. Just didn't think of them as a two headed nail. Obviously you wouldn't use them on the inside of a cement form.

    After a couple days of curing it needs to be heavily vibrated with a jackhammer and either a bull point or chisle bit. You want to go until there are cracks everywhere in the slab and this prevents future cracks from forming. Also it will make your slab more portable should you need to leave and want to take your slab with you it can be put in the back of a truck.

      Thats what the 10lb sledg is for one wack its in a million pieces, the water he added after the pour spelled doom for the slab.
      The key is never add water after its mixed
      It will weaken the concrete, truck shows up stiff pour your best bet is to work it stiff, if you add water you weaken it.
      If it shows up wet and soupy reject it.
      Its not going to be strong.
      A heavy rain will pit it.

      That's called "de-stressing". The last thing you want in any concrete project is stress. Un-de-stressed concrete can catastrophically fail at the wrong time and cause great harm, just like an earthquake.

(Mind you, he's a Painter, so brushes and rollers can't do much harm - mebbe the screwdriver to open the lid ?!) Anyway they're in Adelaide 2yrs, he's found a Club, good Coach and within the 2yrs he's South Australia Middleweight Champ, Silver Medalled his Age Group and Bronzed the Catch-All..Oh aye, he was Certified Best Overall Competitor ! So..The point Is, All that, muscles like Bruce Lee, he could lift her up and put her in the top shelf in the bedroom closet, and leave her there ! Instead, he's saying, "Well why don't You Do It the Right Way Luv ! and I'll go for a quick run around the Lake Park !" (Feckin lovely it is, about 4mile, or 6ks Mate ! And he'll do that twice !)
