Concrete

[5.7 hemi]

True, I’ve always wanted a shop, had to make do with a garage or tube carport. But as the years went by, more tools acquired, it’s time for shop. Can’t wait as I have a 63’ Fury coming next weekend, shop won’t be up, but I see it coming about.

I’m not doing control joints, just like a garage floor.

63 foot long Plymouth?

[Kern Dog]

I was teasing.
63’ means 63 feet.
’63 is short for 1963.

 

[5.7 hemi]

I really screwed that up, didn’t I?

 

[Kern Dog]

Naw.
Lots of people do it. It is funny to think of a 64 foot long car though.

What if instead of 1963, he meant 6300, the car is from the future, and after extensive research they found our people like ‘60s era cars better

If its that soft you may want to get a compactor in there.

I would be cautious about putting a slab over an area that soft. How longs till it settles and starts cracking?

exactly my thoughts too

Again, it’s not soft where the shop is going, it’s soft where the cement truck needs to cross to get to the spot where the cement is gonna be poured.

Here is soft, by the septic tank lids.

 

[Cheapsunglasses]

Gee I wonder why it’s soft at the spot they dug a giant hole at

All I can tell you is that an old '76 x JD410 hoe can pull out a full truck with 9 yards in it and that was after they had broke 4 chains trying to pull it with an empty truck and laughing their asses off that I thought I could pull it out!

I see that freedom as a mixed blessing.
a competent person would build structures correctly but an idiot could do a terrible job and hide it with drywall ….

Time to fess up Greg....you missed on the bid.

It’s low there cause they didn’t pack the dirt after they installed the septic tank and a moat appeared after it finally settled with the rains we got.

 

[dadsbee]

Ya... no cement truck is taking that route unless you want to replace that tank when it rolls on to it. Where are the weepers??? as nothing but a lawn mower should be driving across those!

I would not let them back over the drain-leach field.
