New concrete floor in barn

Before You use plastic for compressed air. . . Do some research I believe that plastic has a history of shattering over time with compressed air was considering doing the same thing (plastic for air) until I read a few stories on it. Now I am going to use black steel for my compressor lines. Are you going to put wire mesh down for your slab? good luck Ed

I'm with you Red55... let me try again...

I ran it for water - maybe - some day... if it leaks - I'm not going to be heartbroken... I thought - with the concern of water under the slab - it "could" be a place for a compressor line...

Realistically - it will likely be a place for another bee nest!

No pictures to update today from last night...

Basically all I got to last night was wrapping the base of the posts with sill sealer to ease the edges of concrete contact - and to buffer expansion against the posts... all to help prevent cracking.

Red55 - we are going with rebar in a mesh pattern.

There will be lots of posts over the next 48 hours as it gets formed, stings, likes, and pourded! Can you tell I'm excited?!

Excited? No, not really... :)

The PVC 'water' line can also be used as conduit for whatever...

That's a darn fine looking finished product you have there! It'll be worth the money and effort when its cured and useable. Thanks for sharing the project!
