Ray, How did you form up the concrete? I was wondering too what you used for leveling the form (if anything)? My level device is pretty short for something that size.
Do you include some sort of expansion joints or stress relief joints to keep a platform of that size from cracking up? Do you lay down a layer of gravel before pouring a bed like that? Between the frost and changing bulk of of clay as it saturates and dries out we have to go to a lot of trouble over a slab that size.

Hi All Well the Bob Cat made short work out of digging out the garage floor. When he finished digging his small tip truck had an overflowing load. In when the reinforcing mesh, and two and a half loads of a Mini Mix Concrete Truck went in. After screeding off the mix and finishing the concrete it already looks better than it did before. I knocked some star picket posts in around the outside of the wet concrete and placed around this some pool fencing to stop the dog from running on the cement. I will wait for a week to let it cure before removing the fence and then moving on to the door.
