    "Grout"?

    I agree. I happen to have a brand new diamond wet-saw and will do that tomorrow. I'll just fix the thing myself since I don't think this guy is coming back anytime soon.

    "Grout"?

    This is how it looked after they poured it. there would have been a rough jolt going through the door with a load on a forklift. The garage is on the left. Ramp is on the right.

    "Grout"?

    Well, at this point, I'm going to get those products and do it myself. This guy promised to come back the next day (Tuesday). never showed. Gave him a call Friday and he said "I'll be there tomorrow"(never showed then either). I figure if someone is that untrustworthy, It's a high probability...

    "Grout"?

    My concrete man was supposed to put a little cut-back between these poles so that, when the roll-door is down, water doesn't come under the door into the shop. Well, he forgot to do it. So he sent a worker out the next day with a diamond saw and did this...... He says he will come back and put...

    Preparing the ground to pour a slab

    Shot it with the rotary laser again yesterday evening and it's still dead-on. The self leveling feature is nice. I loaded up my little yanmar tractor and will take it to the site Monday I'm going to try moving some of the dirt with a small box blade. After that I might put one of the land...

    Pole Barn End

    To close in the end of my 72x32x16 pole barn, I'm thinking of buying two more 8x8 poles go on the end for supporting the framing. I'm thinking they will need to be about 22' long, with 4' of that in the ground in concrete, and I'll need to do this before I can pour my slab. If so, how would you...

    I bought the whole set, Bosch factory refurbished. I guess somebody forgot to put the glasses in the case.

    Preparing the ground to pour a slab

    Preparing the ground to pour a slab

    Preparing to pour a slab in half of this pole barn. It has clay/sand fill dirt and has been kind of leveled out, somewhat, with a skid steer before the barn was erected. I guess that's called a "pad". It has high spots and low spots and is really not level. Anyway, I have wet it down for a...

    Laser Level for forming a slab

    I've use a water level before, with blue food coloring in the water. Works pretty good if it's not windy out. But I wanted a laser for this project and ended up buying this one. Reconditioned but with a 2 yr warranty. https://www.ebay.com/itm/315431803182 Thanks all! :)
