Basic Skills for Concrete


Description
Before you start your next concrete project, learn all of the skills you need to know to mix concrete, pour a concrete slab, cut and fasten into concrete and more.

Concrete is one of the most common building materials in the world, but it can be daunting to mix concrete, pour concrete and work with concrete if you don't have experience. Once you know a little about how concrete works, it's remarkably easy to complete a home concrete project like a concrete sidewalk or a concrete shed slab on your own.

In this course, we'll teach you everything you need to know to get started working with concrete. We'll cover some basics about what concrete is and how it works, show you how to prepare concrete forms for a slab, and how to mix concrete yourself. We'll help you work with a concrete supplier, place concrete, finish the surface, and prepare your concrete for curing. Finally, we'll show you how to cut cured concrete and attach fasteners to concrete.
