Default Re: Dig 'n pour a sidewalk tips?

Highbeam our county code is a genuine asphalt expansion joint every 30ft and control joints 1/4th the thickness of the concrete every 8ft. So I'll put in the asphalt joint midway at 19ft, and 1" deep control joints every 5ft (i like the looks of tooled joints closer than every 8ft.)

Will have a truck deliver it -- I'm getting too old to mix up 2yds of concrete by the wheelbarrow full. HA it's getting to where I whine mixing up enough to set a dozen 4x4 posts for the dog kennel.

Rimshot, that 5 1/2 sack is good for a >3000 psi pour with normal curing, it too meets code here and Rempel's Concrete just down the road doesn't let me mess up. A car won't be driving on it but the tractor will be. I may go ahead and use mesh or rebar . . . a cool and dry pour is the word(s).

We don't have a frost line like in y'all's cold country

global warming is when the PETA hotties march nekkid in Seattle every summer (I can't figure why they don't march in our 'winter', what with the warming and all.)
