You've got a good helper! Enjoy all the time you can as a daddy. My daughter grew up and moved out of the house this year. It goes faster than you can imagine.
It's so strange Glenn as I've made slabs like this in the past when I was younger and fitter and mixed the concrete by hand which was a killer. I have no intention of ever doing this kind of thing again in my lifetime, yet there is something compelling about the production of your videos that I find extremely cathartic to watch and never once thought about skipping. I know like a lot of us you've had struggles in the past that you have clearly overcome and are now in a better place and from one Dad to another it was fantastic to see you spending that daddy daughter time bonding over new skills. Good things come to good people and you are definitely good people so keep living your best life my friend. I look forward to your next project
WOW, just wow! Wow at your strength and stamina. Wow at your skill and talent. Wow at your desire for perfection. So nice to see that young lady of yours picking up useful life skills.
As always, great project and work effort shown. As a Northerner, I'm still not sure you need to worry about the foundation moving in warmer climate like yours. Not a fan of disturbing a foundation even if a slab. A good solid solution would be to take that front 'footer' trench and add 4x 3' holes. Add a good amount of rebar and tie it too that rebar matrix and you'll have a pretty strong slide preventer. As it is now though, that rebar stuck into the slab will just pull out easily if it wants to move. Only other thing I would comment on is a lot of that old concrete used as filler looked rather large. So in a lot of places your new concrete looks pretty thin and will probably crack/craze there. At least it looked like it from here. Nit picks aside, its really nice to see you showing others that you don't need extensive experience or a garage full of fancy tools to tackle a lot of projects in an economical fashion. That and the semi-tutorial explanations sans crazy music/begging for Like/Subs is most likely why you're a 3M+ YT top flier.
Hey Claude. Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦. Wow, absolutely amazing concrete pour. The slab turned out awesome. As usual, you tackle projects with gusto, and you are always determined to complete your projects. You have a great little helper. Wonderful. Take care, buddy.
this video just reminded me I would take my daughter to every job and they come with "limited time only sign" 😅 to move ac units is a understanding beyond landscape great job
Good to see that your helper is as strong and courageous as you. Getting to build decks, fences, and pour concrete with my dad are some of my most precious childhood memories. I know I wasn’t willing to help once the heat of the day arrived, either. 😂 Brilliant work as usual. I can’t stress it enough: You deliver top notch content and deserve way more subscribers. Thanks for showing off that MudMixer and your workflow with it. I’d have just thought to order the mixed concrete and a small pumper for a job that size, but now I’ll check with my rental store for one of those mixers first. Seems like a great way to manage a solo concrete project without all the pressure of deliveries.
Nice work bro! Also glad to see your videos back on a regular schedule, I’m sure I speak for everyone to say it’s good to see your content and giving us all some confidence to try out these DIY projects. 🤝
Thank you! It's a grind to be a be a co-parent keeping the kid occupied, build, film, editing and everything else. I am trying to post more often with the limited time I have.
Outstanding job! Your little helper was crushin' it too. I need to do something similar, but only for my garbage cans and was hoping for a dry-pour situation. I learn something new every single time I watch one of your videos. Thank you for sharing them.
Beautiful slab! Ive been getting more interested in concrete recently and its really a kind of niche category as far as youtube videos go. Thanks for the video
Eventually, you'll get shown so many concrete videos that you could do like I did and just start putting the most relevant (to you) videos in a "Concrete" playlist. lol
@@OfficialJohnnyNelson I'm really looking into doing some renovations on my basement, was thinking of pouring my own egress window wheels since I hate the round ones and every other method is pretty expensive
You are one hardworking and smart man! I’m so impressed with your skills. Great job and your little helper is learning a little from you. The slab looks great as well as the sod.
I post a lot of videos about the MudMixer as well and have tackle ridiculous large project with it. I admire your effort into getting good camera angles and narration while doing the work. Keep it up brother!
Your videos are so motivating and inspiring. Neat and clean, awesome working solo great job! Working with concrete is a tough job, working with my husband would take us probably months to complete the job! The outcome was beautifully done! thank you for sharing and inspiring.
Dude!!! You’re a f’n beast! You did all that slab work start to finish in under 3 hours? You deserve that machine. They should have sponsored it. Only question is shouldn’t that long a run of concrete have been cut up into smaller sections for expansion and crack proofing? I’m not a concrete guy but everyone seems to do that. I’d probably do it the same way as you. You rock!!! Can’t wait to see your bigger project. Any hints? A pool maybe??? Keep up the good work and glad to see you making videos again.
Apparently my son's cat likes watching your videos. She sat and watched the first 15 min. Every time you threw dirt toward the camera, she looked at the floor.
Looks great! Not being a concrete guy I have a few questions maybe you or your knowledgeable followers can answer. When do you decide rebar vs wire mesh? When are relief cuts (not sure that’s the correct term) needed? Glad to see you putting content back out!
Really polished up the space. Great content! I want some kind of similar set up for my side yard. I have 3 massive roll carts and it would be so nice to have them in a solid surface. But I may have to settle for pavers and gravel. That side of the house never sees sunlight so I just grow moss and lots of spiders. 😂
Dang. That's a ton of work! Been there before .. but without the really cool mixer. Great job! I did see that ground rod connection move .. maybe a good time to tighten it up. Really enjoyed watching. Thanks!
Actually he needs to replace it with a ground rod clamp, that is a water line clamp and not approved for that application nor is it approved for outdoor use or earth contact. Home Depot sells the proper clamp for less than 5 bucks.
Dzięki za fajny materiał, super ta maszyna do robienia betonu, używam starej poczciwej betoniarki a ta wydajna i szybka 👍W moim klimacie tak płytki fundament nie sprawdzi się. Pozdrowiona z Polski👍.
The slab turned out awesome! You're a beast, handling all that work solo.
Thanks!
He didn't handle it solo. He had the best helper in the world (with an awesome, pink toolbelt)!
@@DarrLaw You're absolutely right! Touché

Everything you make is a seminar and a lesson for everyone who watches your videos
😅 i hope thats a good thing.
Good luck❤
Awesome project, your helper was awesome.
Yep, she was 😅
Nice sharingnya❤

Amazing, a DIY channel on YT doing a slab with a proper wet mix and not a ridiculous dry mix. well done.
Thank you!
I like the way you do your videos. Well cut and edited, great voiceover.
I appreciate that!

You are not a 'One Man Crew" - you are a "One Man Army"! Awesome job!
Great job! Very thorough. Didn't skip a single step. That slab should last a LONG time. Thanks for the video brother.
Thank you. Appreciate you tuning in and checking it out

@@DIYCreators ok :) but you might keep us in touch by like a short video sometimes. after some (quite a lot of) years now i feel familiar with you..
I love to watch you work, you’re trying something new, experimenting but are very detailed oriented
Outstanding job! Your little helper was crushin' it too. I need to do something similar, but only for my garbage cans and was hoping for a dry-pour situation. I learn something new every single time I watch one of your videos. Thank you for sharing them.
Glad to see you back. Always love getting some tips and ideas for future projects.
Great job dad with your little helper keep passing the knowledge on.
That project turned out great. You are such a hard worker and always a pro. Your helper is the best.
Thank you, :)! Yes I like that little helper.

Check out Andrew Camarata for a concrete overload, especially his earlier videos.
Very nice looking slab and sod work! Looks great and will last for years to come!!!
You always create exceptional projects! Great job!
You are one hardworking and smart man! I’m so impressed with your skills. Great job and your little helper is learning a little from you. The slab looks great as well as the sod.
Love it! Always love watching diy projects.
That came out wonderfully, you do such good work, and I enjoy your channel. I'm so glad that you are back on youtube!
That turned out awesome. I really enjoyed the video! You helper is adorable and a lucky girl to be around a great role model❤
That looked like a lot of work. Well done for seeing it through!
little pink toolbelt is adorable. Good job dad.
Great to see your daughter helping out. She'll be a great builder too just like you. Always love your content cause I learn from you each time
Much love, I appreciate it!
Dude, you are doing some fantastic work. Fantastic job getting your little helper involved.
Thanks man! Yes, I have to her to be useful lol.
Love the channel man, you do good work.
Thank much appreciated!
That looks amazing! nicely done with this slab.
Excited for the new builds dude, been a longtime follower
It's always nice to be able to have the kids help.
oh Totally
Really enjoy your videos. Content and editing is spot on. Your helper might have been the best part of the video! Cheers!
Exceptional job! I’m saving this to watch again before project launch. I’m excited but will elicit help of another novice.
BTW: your area looks a lot like SW FLA. St Pete Beach is a disaster hope you faired well.
The Styrofoam hack was genius!!!!
Thanks, last-minute idea! I was trying to avoid making a small frame, went searching, and saw that.
Prayers up for you and your loved ones. You've mentioned you live in Florida. I hope everyone is okay and able to function after that ginormous storm.
The DIY GOAT! You are the best man! So glad to be watching your vids! I hope all is well with you! MLMR!
Dude, I wish I had your energy. Love your content. Keep up the good work
Great content. Keep it up. 👍🏾
Appreciate it!
You never cease to amaze me! Nice job
That's a big project to tackle solo. Looks great!
Whew, what a labor of love. Nice work!
“Don’t own a broom and in no rush to get one” 😂😂😂 you’re a boss dude. Love your content.
I post a lot of videos about the MudMixer as well and have tackle ridiculous large project with it. I admire your effort into getting good camera angles and narration while doing the work. Keep it up brother!
Great work! Next project: building a shed for your mud mixer.
Haha, idk about that. But, I have some work planned for it.
Nice video good luck
Well thought out & executed, lots of work well done. Your helper is a beast :)
Great home owner video 🎉 That was alot of work and I commend you. Teaching your daughter is awesome and she's a hard worker like her dad.
That looks like a frantic day doing it al alone. Great job!
Thank you!
Great job and I liked your workflow. Well done! Stay healthy and safe.
Awesome Job! Lots of hard work here but done with care and thought. Doesn’t get better!
OMG Time is flying. She has gotten sooo big. Great Video.
Thank you she's definitely growing.
Nice job & I like the wood grain effect
Your videos are so motivating and inspiring. Neat and clean, awesome working solo great job! Working with concrete is a tough job, working with my husband would take us probably months to complete the job! The outcome was beautifully done! thank you for sharing and inspiring.
Beautiful, man, all of it! Right down to getting the best kind of help in the whole world. 😉
I would have 100% face-planted into the concrete trying to plank over it like that 😂
Best channel on TH-cam
Came out nice... Now a father and daughter fence build 😊. My little one loves helping me build stuff as well..
Thanks! Haha she wants no part of the heat, so she wont last long with out complaining. It's good to have them involved
@@DIYCreators yup .
Baby girl grew up!!!! Great work as always!
Yes, crazy! She is definitely sprouting up.
Wow! What a project. SO. MUCH. MANUAL. LABOR. I got tired just watching you. 😆 Terrific job and the end result looks fantastic. Well done, sir!
Thank you! Cheers!

At this scale, dilatation is not an issue - mainly because there is room for expansion to the dirt around.
Strong work! That turned out great!!
Hardworking man! Awesome job. Looks great.
Great job high five for your little helper too 🎉😊
So much work! Great job, love the helper.
Thanks!
Glen, you did a awesome job. I do the projects around my house all by myself too.
Thank you, sometimes it's nice to have some help but working alone can be quite peaceful at times for me.
Great work, as always! Thank you.
Thank you!
Well done! Thanks for creating a great video sir

lol smart cat
Genial👏👏!!

Looks great! Not being a concrete guy I have a few questions maybe you or your knowledgeable followers can answer.
When do you decide rebar vs wire mesh?
When are relief cuts (not sure that’s the correct term) needed?
Glad to see you putting content back out!
This was cool to watch, thanks for sharing.
Great job, excellent workmanship
Good job, Mister!

Thank you! Good luck 😅 keep in mind if you do pavers you may have to deal with a lot of grass and weed popping up
Great video. Good job and nice work. Thank you for sharing

Wow you just made me tired, I am sore and all achy! 😂 Great job! Made a lot of sense to put the broke up concrete in to take up space.
I love the concrete mixer. It's the best
Looks great, nice one. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Awesome video and great commentary
Great job, excellent result. Well done!
Thank you very much!
Glenn just pumping out the video as of late 😊
It looks great, thank you for sharing.
Awesome work my friend
That is a great job! Professional!
Very methodically done. Quite the project, but with apex results.
Always enjoy your videos. They give we the impetus to Watch more 😁
I very much appreciate it..
Love all your work sir.
Good job, my brotha!
Well done my friend.
Righteous work!
