kj4kicks 151 #1 Posted August 27, 2008 After finishing the shed project (and during when I needed a break), the garage addition made some progress. Getting ready to pour concrete. Since one truck can't haul enough to do it in one pour, I split it into 2 halves. The Horses are always on patrol...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,342 #2 Posted August 27, 2008 That last two shots shows how big this garage is going to be. It appears the horses are already checking out their new digs. :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DMESS 24 #3 Posted August 27, 2008 Question E.....Does the addition remain seperate from the existing garage or does knocking a Wheel Horse sized hole in the end of it come next? Is that a vert I see? :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
refracman 166 #4 Posted August 27, 2008 Eldon Looking good, I did flatwork for a few years and just a little advice. It'll be better if you put your form for the 2nd pour cross ways and your pins bout every3 ft. The reason for this is there will be less pressure against your form and easier to pull for the 2nd. ( less to mess with) I cant really see any along the out side either they should be every 3ft and at least 2ft in the ground with a brace extending out to another stake. When pouring crete it is better to overkill. We lost a few because we thought it would be OK, man was the boss . Are you goin to put visquin down? It sure stops the floor from sweatin Good Luck ! p.s. If I'm outa place here sorry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kj4kicks 151 #5 Posted August 27, 2008 Yeah T-Mo, they were doing a little grazing! D, Where the window is now, there will be a door. And the vert is Joels Steven, Thanks for the info. The forms aren't quite finished yet. I still need to add the bracing, but it was getting dark. 10-4 on the vapor barrier ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C-Series14 15 #17 Posted September 2, 2008 Hey Eldon...come (help me) do my driveway, I will let you ride any horse I have!!! Maybe even the Harley!!! Seriously, I would love to do my driveway a section at a time, it is blacktop and in bad shape... Looking good though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brrly1 1,146 #18 Posted September 2, 2008 Hey Eldon You won't need to cut the center for control, but you might throw in a couple cuts coming across. 4" slab cut it an 1" deep, 1/4 in per depth, 1 1/4 for 5" 1 1/2 for 6" usually no bigger than 10 x 10, might go 12 x 12 and still be ok. Looks nice. Burly :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
