Hello! We just paid $8000 to have a patio poured in our backyard. I was surprised to see the concrete block itself is about 6-8” off the ground and grass, creating almost a concrete deck of sorts.

Is this something that isn’t an issue? submitted by /u/bipolar_express_lane [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I am planning on having my driveway re-done/replaced due to age and severe cracking. I have had to contractors out and both are quoting between 28 and 30 cubic yards of concrete. One is proposing fiber blended concrete and the other is suggesting wire re-enforced both are saying 4000 psi concrete. Here are my questions and concerns, neither of them provided a written quote, one sent a follow up text message with some high level details with price and the other just called me and gave me the details and price over the phone. Neither provided anything in writing. Should I run from both of these ..read more

How do you bid or how much more would you charge for an ada compliant concrete project ( make sure all runs are 5% and cross slopes are 2%) Acces has to be from door to parking stalls, if keys say a 4” thick slab is 10sqft average how much more would you charge for ADA Not including truncated domes nor curbs submitted by /u/Fast-Lynx-8604 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello there, Is anyone familiar with this product? It’s a polyurethane base coat used for waterproofing. In this case it is specially covering a concrete sun deck. I want to paint a pickleball court on the deck, is there a specific type of paint I need to use for best results? Yes I’ve called the company and waiting for a response. Just curious if anyone has personal experience. Thanks!! submitted by /u/DC2491 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

2014 Oshkosh mcneilus f/d mixer drum stalls. Stalls faster at higher psi/slump readings. Replaced pressure relief, joystick and put a new valve and solenoids on it and still does it. At this point the only thing I can see being the issue is the swash plate or the computer itself… anyone else have an issue or seen an issue like this. Searched all over the net and haven’t seen anything and oahkosh tech support is pretty much useless submitted by /u/grindooo [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I also used a vibrator but still so many damn bugholes. Wtf?? They all came out this way submitted by /u/Hazardous_Muffin [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
