I am going to attempt to build a 40'x60' metallic shop. The existing 24'x24' 2 car garage is going to be torn down and hauled off first part on next month leaving only the cement slab.
My plans is to remove the top soil around the garage so decomposing grass cannot create any voids. Next haul in enough quality fill dirt to raise the pad ~2' over the existing garage floor feathering it out 4' on all sides to grade.
Set the forms haul in sand, dig beams, will have to find out how many demensions, lay wire mesh and rebar. Anyone dug the beams with a small B/H? Hmm could maybe justify (in my mind anyhow) getting a B/H for the
L3400 .. I have a buddy who is far more knowledgable than me who is going to help.
Is pouring a slab over an existing slab a good idea? I would hate to have to break it all out and haul it off.
Thanks for any advice... Chuck
