My farmer pal recons they took near 20t of rubble/soil etc away!! I now owe him a good few days of welding when he needs it!Hoping to get some concrete in this Thursday!!
Last Thursday it went in.when did you lay it down ?
as your supposed to leave for a certain period of time before you build anything on it while it sets / per its thickness
cool, should be hot to trot then!i wouldn't build on it until after a week

Laversdale for the timber(local ish) best price I found and I don't know any builders, I'm a car guy really. I know a couple of joiners though, i should ask them about discounts.Who's supplying your timber mate. Got any builder friends. They should be able to put a dent in your figures.
bricks on side 100mm concrete 150mm =50mm downIf the slab is just 150mm thick why do they have the bricks on their edge supporting the mesh? That's going to put it in the top third of the slab.

bugger! I read it the opposite way round and did my best to keep it in the top third! Ocht well it's in there now!Yeah that's what I mean. 50mm is 1/3 of 150mm, the rebar is in the top third. When you put a weight on a slab the top is in compression, the bottom in tension so it's better to have the rebar in the bottom third than the top.
the dude from jewsons rang me today to tell me his price, i then told them it could be beaten and he went away and hammered his down cheaper! Just goes to show.There is a timber / fencing place in longtown do sensibly priced timber, but forget his name, often sdvertises on cumbria agi buy and sell on face book
Jewsons mark ups are horrendous. Gotta blag em for a good price Still need to go see my branch manager. Get good prices locally but when I'm working elsewhere I'm better off going to wixes. Go figure.the dude from jewsons rang me today to tell me his price, i then told them it could be beaten and he went away and hammered his down cheaper! Just goes to show.
