Concrete footer going down! #construction #diy
What happens here
Once the forms and base are ready, the fresh concrete is introduced into the pathway area. The video shows concrete being poured from a wheelbarrow using a shovel and directly from a concrete mixer's chute. As the concrete is poured, it is immediately distributed and pushed into place using a concrete rake or a hoe. This action ensures that the concrete fills the entire form, works its way under and around the wire mesh reinforcement, and eliminates any large air voids.
Goal: Fill the prepared forms with fresh concrete and distribute it evenly.
