>You and a couple of buddies >a couple of buddies
Thanks for driving the fact that I have no buddies home there friend. Gonna go drown myself in the concrete when it's poured.
>easy
I have a different definition of easy. To me, writing a couple websites is easy, and the money it makes me can hire me a concrete truck and a pizza for the guy who drives the truck.
Do it incrementally.
Continuation point is at a control joint (which you won’t have to cut.
Quit reading internet memes on how to do things—this one is obvious.
for a start how do you even pour concrete 2D? usually you need at least three dimensions to make a solid object.
so yeah i'd say this one is impossible.
nta but we stayed in a vrbo place in Indiana and they had dug the back 2 acres into a 6' deep square pond back in the late 70s. it was actually kino af, a private little lake that I taught my kids to fish in, and we got to take canoes out. The area is incorporated now (county is part of a "town" or whatever) and no way in hell you could dig that shit today without getting your shit pushed in by permitting.
I'm not a fan of water. Too many bugs come with it. I would make sure to keep any bodies of water far enough away from the house or shop that the bugs stay clear the frick over there.
Or you could be not moronic and realize that fish keep a pond clean of mosquito larvae, especailly mosquitofish of which there are thousands

Or I could also not be moronic and just not put a huge body of stinky water next to my dwelling.

>Cope pondless poor
Lol. I have ponds. Catch ponds for cattle to drink from, tailwater ponds from my fields, hell I even have a river running through two separate properties as well as irrigation canals.
I paid someone else to upgrade my home service from 100A to 200A. but did the rest of the solar/battery backup from there DIY.
Hired a crew to dig the channel & put the tunnel floor/walls/cap between the house-basement & garage-basement. Way faster than doing it myself so less chance of the city dropping by to inspect anything. Did the rest of insulating it, water & spider-proofing, and the secret doors myself.
Hired a group of guys to wrangle a 12-foot countertop slab into place.
It's not about "too big" but instead what you're comfortable doing (or learning), what you like/don't like to do yourself, and how much time you have.
Not within reason but the trick to moving large things so you don't break them or you is studying rigging then relentlessly accumulating equipment opportunistically over time unless you have an immediate need/use for renting specialty shit like rough terrain forklifts etc.
Best is own roomy cheap property and make your entire life PLANNED to give maximum choice at lowest reasonable cost. DIY is life so this is fun. Have several acres at least where you can build facilities.
Own a variety of gear. For example I use multiple Wyeth-Scott pullers to manually place shipping containers and hand winch vehicles. I have vehicle mounted winches too but the combination is far more versatile. Have rope, cable, and chain. Have portable tuggers like the winch I run from my jump pack. Have steel and wheels of all sorts including trailer and truck axles. Have a tow truck (old wrecker booms are cheap) or even a rollback if you can score a steel bed truck (used alloy beds tend to crack, annoying even if you weld while steel is toug and easy). Have full off-road recovery equipment because it moves machinery and vehicles and steel too. Have mobile cutting and welding equipment to make and mod things on the fly. There isn't a shitload of money required, just relentless hunting.
Service upgrades and adding new services are useful. I found it simpler and not at all disruptive to place a service pole with outdoor panel and 240v/120V outdoor outlets before building my shop so I had immediate power for welding and air.
Poorgay methods exist that work while still a rentoid like making all your tools and equipment roll easily on carts etc so they never represent a problem to move. I collect or fab ramps as needed. Most people neglect logistics which limits them severely.
i have a friend that refuses to accept any limits. picel is a 50 ft beam on a 36 ft rented trailer. 15k lb net load. hauled it 75 miles through pdx metro with no trailer lights, trailer brakes, or windshield wipers
it's getting too gay anymore to do this kind of shit. between frickwits and women in cars trying to run you off the road constantly and the dot wanting to assfrick any rig over 10k lbs, it's just not that fun to do sketchy shit these days. double so if you have to go near the big city
I'm trying to get all my stupid shit done while I'm still young enough to not know better... Plus I only haul dumb shit like that from farm to farm and only on back roads. I will not hit the interstate like that.
I will not be pouring a 20x30 concrete slab by myself by hand.
>I will not be pouring a 20x30 concrete slab by myself by hand.
Why? You and a couple of buddies could knock it out much cheaper than hiring a crew.

We're here, fren
And you're right. While technically possible to pour that much by hand before it starts setting, it would be a major hassle and rush
Build a power screed. Then you and your wife could pour it. Put your kid on the concrete truck chute.
I'll be your bud anon
If you have a wheelbarrow that's easy to do

Yes. Satisfying your prostitute mother.
I hired out to have my 2 1/2 acre pond dug
Is the pond just for fun or are you farming something like catfish?
I just always wanted a pond

Still wouldn't want one next to my house.

Any other electrical jobs you've outsourced?
I aint risking my life to put down solar panels on my roof just to save a few thousands.
You are only limited by your commitment.
why would someone make this
>tobyn jacobs
I've been looking for the name of this homie for years but "rich autist with many printers" wasn't returning anything, thanks.
he's made literally thousands of these.
>he's made literally thousands of these.
not an answer
My favorite part is when that particular one fell over and crushed his spine.
Im about to hire someone to cut these nasty fricking toenails
i have a friend that refuses to accept any limits. picel is a 50 ft beam on a 36 ft rented trailer. 15k lb net load. hauled it 75 miles through pdx metro with no trailer lights, trailer brakes, or windshield wipers
Basado.
