The Challenges of Pouring Concrete in a Tight Space

TLDRColin is pouring concrete in a tight space, facing challenges with the weather and the design. He's trying to ensure the right consistency while dealing with a leaking dehumidifier. The concrete needs to be poured around rebar and the walls need to be tied into the floor. Colin reflects on the differences between this project and previous ones, realizing the need for a different approach. He also mentions his sponsor, Incog, a service that removes personal data from online databases to protect privacy.
