Rebar tieing

Guess this is a moot point but is that san tee in backwards or is it just the way the light is hitting it.

Dang you got one heck of a deal on the concrete pour! Seems I never get deals like that.

Oh sure....NOW you tell me!!!

The T is facing the correct direction. The pipe you see going out the wall is for the RV dump/cleanout. So the flow is actually coming toward you in the pic.

I did have to redo the T's though the inspector said they had to be at a 45 not 90 like in the pic. He said there is the possibility of the trap being siphoned if the T is at a 90.

A young farmer friend of mine built a steel building (50 x 200) and has a 13" thick slab. He said he'd seen too many 6" and 8" slabs crack so he went that way. It's been years now and that slab looks as good as the day he first drove on it. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Did that $2.50/sqft. included all of your prep work, stone/sand, drains, etc., or if it was for the concrete only?

Hi, I did all the prep work.

The bid for the plumbing was $2500, did it myself. Hate to think what the rock, plastic, insulation and rebar would have been....Eeeekkk!

That price was to pour and finish the concrete, The price included the crete. The company that did the floor also poured my footings, foundation and will be doing the flat work as well on the house.

I got a couple other bids, one was slightly lower but he backed out when he found out he needed a pumper truck. The one from Cleary was $9600 and that was for a bid for a 4" floor.

I got a price of $3/sqft. including the drains and everything else needed for a 6" thick slab to floor part of my existing pole building. From what you're saying, it sounds like I ought to jump on that if I can nail down the specifics on rebar, spacing, etc., in the quote.

This was through a friend of some friends who added that the price could diminish substantially depending on how many bodies I mustered on site to help with the pour and how much cold beer was there for "the finish party."

I'm thinking this could be occasion to get a keg or full size fridge and fill it with cans. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
