What’d you do around the edges? I would’ve dug out the perimeter to the desired depth of the slab and then formed around the hole. Making it level with the rest of the ground, and allowing me to add a slight pitch away from the house.. but I’m no pro lol nice work either way!

Why would you pour into a bucket and then dump the bucket, why not get a mixer you can pour into a barrel?

I wish I could have, but there wasn't enough room on the corner for me to fit our wheelbarrow, and I had the wire fence in the middle so I couldn't put it there either. I will next time for sure, though. Welcome to our channel!

Perfect slab? Look at how white it ended up from not finishing the concrete. There’s a lot of steps that were missed. They each have their purpose.

@@VIPHoldings if it’s a beginner video, why does it say perfect slab? How can a beginner at anything in life achieve perfection? Aside from that, I never said I was an expert. But anyone who values their profession knows that they never stop learning. No matter how good you are, someone always knows more. So when I saw something that said “perfect,” it drew my attention. Rather than get defensive, wouldn’t it be more beneficial to ask what you did wrong?

@SergioPena20 Not really because I've had actual professionals tell me the finished product was good. As for learning, that's what our whole channel is about but we prefer to take advice from real professionals and even weekend warriors like ourselves instead of trolls that only want to criticize. Not adding any value at all with their posts. Try spreading positivity in your next post to someone else. Or at least take the old saying to heart, "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all."

@@VIPHoldings I’ll have to take your word for it as far as reactions go. But as far as my comment, I made it so that people looking for inspiration won’t think that wavy, white and powdery concrete with sharp edges is correct. If my comments bother you that much, delete them. If you want some tips, I’d gladly give you some. I’m not normally rude in comment sections because it’s not beneficial to anybody. But defensive comments usually receive offensive responses.

@SergioPena20 I don't think any of my viewers would ever look at your comments and think, "This guy really knows what he's talking about." Now, if you would have looked at the previous comments, you would have noticed that the real pros leave everyone valuable tips and even breaking down the entire process in a different way. And then there are trolls like yourself that probably have never done the work themselves, just watched a bunch of other people do it and think you're in a position to criticize someone actually doing it.

If you dont want to absolutely break your back and have a good looking slab, save your money and hire a professional. Man works like an animal.

If you hire a professional, you may save time and will definitely save your own back, but you will not save money. Plus, do you want to tell your kids, "Look what Daddy paid for?" Or would you prefer to tell them, "Look what Daddy built?" I prefer the latter. Welcome to our channel!
