Yammer Dan Posted September 7, 2011 Author #226 Posted September 7, 2011 Closest one of those is about 50 miles Buddy. But I'm trying to find one.
Yammer Dan Posted September 9, 2011 Author #227 Posted September 9, 2011 When was it exactly that they doubled the weight of thoser da** cinderblock and 2x4s?? And that blasted shovel holds a lot more dirt!!
Flyinfool Posted September 9, 2011 #228 Posted September 9, 2011 I think that change was made the day you turned OLD!!!!
Trader Posted September 9, 2011 #229 Posted September 9, 2011 I think that change was made the day you turned OLD!!!! Or the day YOU had to do it instead of watching over someone else!
Yammer Dan Posted September 12, 2011 Author #231 Posted September 12, 2011 I haven't quit on it. I'm busy. Pics coming as soon as the Warden figures out how to do it.
Yammer Dan Posted September 13, 2011 Author #232 Posted September 13, 2011 Finally got another guy to look at it this morning. Footers are not square. Step-downs not right. But I know this old country boy and I think he will treat me right. (Here I go again??) I sure hope not. We just talked about it this morning he didn't have time to go over it and do everything he should to see everything that needs done but he claims I got Screwed!! We will see. And pics are coming I think...

Yammer Dan Posted September 16, 2011 Author #240 Posted September 16, 2011 We should be pouring concrete next week.

Yammer Dan Posted September 18, 2011 Author #243 Posted September 18, 2011 No Carl it don't exist!! I'm trying to make it exist. Nothing works around here!!
Yammer Dan Posted September 18, 2011 Author #244 Posted September 18, 2011 This one claimed to work weekends. Weekend gone and he didn't show. I'm off in the morning to one of the large companies that does this stuff. At least I'll get it done. I KNOW PICS!!! Guess thats what caused all my bad luck in this. NO PICS!!!
FuzzyRSTD Posted September 18, 2011 #245 Posted September 18, 2011 Good luck Yammer Dan. You have been trying to get this done since June 28,2011 at 6:35 pm. That was your first post. I would love to see you get it before winter sets in. Fuzzy
Yammer Dan Posted September 18, 2011 Author #246 Posted September 18, 2011 Thanks James. And I'll get some pics of it sooner or later. Pics of a pile of dirt and cinderblock scattered around ain't much.
Yammer Dan Posted September 22, 2011 Author #247 Posted September 22, 2011 I ain't quit. Taking care of Warden got me sidetracked for a few days. Still looking for somebody that wants to work.
bkuhr Posted September 22, 2011 #248 Posted September 22, 2011 I'm digging the top 5 1/2" off, installing 2 x 6's and pouring without wire.. he said that just holds the pieces of concrete together if it breaks off but if its thick enough to begin with you won't need it...LOL Note: The drive way I have now is about 4" inches thick and is busted to he## and back! Guess that explains why my 24 x 48 garage floor 3-1/2" thick without wire that I paid $2500 for is all busted up, never could find that guy (contractor) again either. Just have to live with it for now, still better than dirt floor.
Trader Posted September 23, 2011 #249 Posted September 23, 2011 But that is why you saw stress joints into the floor .....if it cracks, it cracks where the saw kerfs are...nice straight lines and then they don't stand out.

Just have to live with it for now, still better than dirt floor. " contractors that knowingly rip people off like that, need a pounding... They sure do!! Did you have the fiber in your concrete? I've already got the wire and am going to add fiber too.
