How to build a concrete slab CHEAP ?

[skicker]

Concrete and cheap don't bode well in the same sentence...

The fellas that did all the finishing on mine way back when kinda forgot to cut any reliefs into it and by
the time I got out here to check up on them the next day or two, it was too late.
Gave it a day or two more to cure out, then laid the epoxy to it to try and seal it.
Didn't work - it's cracked in a ragged 4-way pattern now.
Guess I have grinder/sealer duty to do on it now...

The slab in my shop has no relief grooves either. I didn't want anything to interfere with the wheels on the floor jack, engine stands, engine hoist, various tool carts either. There are some cracks but nothing you could even slip a penny into.

My buddy just had a new garage floor poured, 6", 5000 psi, 3/4" rebar. The concrete guy said no vapor barrier necessary. I talked my buddy into laying it down anyhow. He's using it for a weightlifting gym, heavy weights, that's why he went overkill. I sent him this video. He almost fell for it in the beginning till the guy said use grass for fiber to make it stronger !!!

16 mins of complete wrong ****
& a April fools joke...

I guess it was sort of humorous

long way to go for that payoff

when I saw the thread & guy posting it
I was thinking 'what the ****, this must be a joke'
here we have a near 30 year Union carpenter,
he doesn't know how to do concrete (yeah right)
or know that there's no cheap way, to do it correct...

someone must be really bored

And to think in 1974 concrete could be had delivered for the grand total of $9 per yard. If I could only buy some of that cheap stuff today.
