    Anyone; I have an existing shed/garage which is sitting on railway ties. I need to remove clay about 4ft b4 putting in a concrete slab. Do I also need to excavate under where the blocks will be?
  • I put in a 12 x 16. My forms are in and I didn't have rock but compacted the dirt and threw in rebar. It's for a shed. Should I still put in rock or am I good with how i have it? I'm also about a 8 inches away from all sides with the rebar. Any advice would be appreciated.
  • Looks great! I'm about to do a 4.5m x 6m slab for a campervan. Should the rebar stick out the sides or is it best to leave them shorter than the overall length and width of the slab?

    Would you ever use 3/4 road mix as a base? Local gravel supply does not have 57 limestone
  • @mdames5605
    what do you do with the center (sprayed) cut-off rebar guide after the concrete has been poured? how do you get it out?
  • @scottshaver571
    Did you all use the rebar stands to keep y rebar level? I am readying a DYI effort. Thanks Scott
  • Where can I see a picture or video of that slab that’s stamped ?

    I have a spot in the middle of a downstairs driveway that is triangular shaped and surrounded by existing slabs. How would I approach that? One side is the retaining wall, the other 2 are concrete. Would I just clear it out, level/gravel fill, then pour?
  • @user-mj6iy8yy7i
    Do you have a segment on how to remove the existing concrete and pour new concrete?
  • Need to do a flat 16x16 flat slab on a slanted/hill yard for a car parking pad Any suggestions or do you know of a video available ?
