Here, that would be five thousand bucks or more in concrete. Can that be right? Man, someone would curse and swear some day, if that had to be removed. And what of the pipes?.

I’d only need about 4 yards of concrete on the top. The rest would be cheaper fill.

Not within 50 yards. I’d have to transport it with my backhoe bucket.

I thought you said something about 40 yards!

I thought the owner wanted a wooden deck. Why plan for concrete?

That’s how much fill it would take to fill in the currently hollow underside of the floor.

He does and I want to concrete it. That was the whole point of this thread.

If he wants a wood deck, tear out the concrete one, address the moisture issues, fix the brick, and put in a wood deck. Saves you the 40 yards of fill, compaction, etc.... probably a lot faster, and much less expensive than the concrete option.
