I thought nothing of handling the 12' x 16' slab & small ramp with my son about 4 years ago. I was going to sub it to a concrete guy (who is older than me!), but it never worked out. My son had never done it and it got hot and sunny that day. This was under a shed roof I had built, but the sun was coming right under. As soon as we had it down I floated it and went straight to troweling. It was nonstop busting butt for longer than I like to recall. I was hurtin' for days  . It tried to kill me! I decided I'd be more careful about what I got myself into from that day on!!  I have a slab to pour under a carport I built last winter (12' x 22'). I dunno...........
It's not even that big, is it? |
The slab was poured this morning ,,chose the light sweep with the deep cuts for in case of cracking down the road,, had a earth quake yesterday and the sons mother in law felt it ,, it was long ways off from us but this is California so I recomended the slab cuts.. will take photos of the finish slab to night and then soon as I get back home around the 15th I will post photos ..
and YES Tim it made me feel good to do the job with the son ,.
