Reviving an old thread. Does Shock tower help with noise by chance as well from people's experience? I'm thinking of adding those especially if they help with noise and shock at the same time and save money on the under sheeting... thoughts? Thanks!

The costco version is a less expensive/durable product. If I'm correct the Costco (race deck) has a 12 year warranty and the race deck has a 15 year... I could be wrong. The benefit is they sell for roughy $2/sq ft when on sale. The only issue is they have minimal color selection. My...

Good info. I have additional questions if thats okay. 1) What is best i concrete is new, within the past 45 days? 2) Does this eliminate the opportunity to use other treatments down the road if the tile is removed and someone wants to stain? 3) I was going to seal the concrete before I laid...

Looks nice! How high/tall is the bendpack lift? What clearance did you need and how much did you pay? I see its the angled version which is great!

Thanks sfbimmer. Can I ask... how much? PM me if that's okay also

Yup, they know the window and the amount they can add... no more. Should be good!. Thanks!

Quick update: The cement contractor stated the cement will arrive at a 4 slump then they will add water to achieve a 5 slump for workability. It will not go above a 5 1/2 slump at the most... He said the cement will dry up some of the water on its way over so it will show at a 4 slump...

The guys are splitting the 26' depth and installing two deep grooves so on the 1st (3rd of the slab) and the 2nd (3rd of the slab) all the way across so those will be at 8.66 ft and 17.32 ft.. make sense? That way the lift will fall in between or in the middle of the two deep grooves... at 13'.

Guys thanks again for the help. Wssix99, thanks for the advice. I will ask about the lift requirements to make sure our joints are good. I accidentally put the inch mark (") next to the 10' foot intervals rather than the (') so we shouldn't be near one so all good. Here is the garage layout.

Thanks again!!!!! Yes, the footings and floor are being poured monolithically so all at once. The contractor isn't adding water at all, only once it sets for the first 28 days (misting to keep it cooler) so it sets better and hardens more slowly, trying to keep the heat down. All of them...

Thanks again for the input. - Yes, I have a contract for minimum pour of 5" but mostly likely will end up with 5 1/2 - 6". - Contractor is now doing what we had on the contract above and adding a little sand before they pour. I trust them so they won't just be adding water to increase coverage...

A bit of inside advice. Some metal fabricators will have buildings that were ordered and then they didn't need or someone cancelled. If they had a 40x80 and you could buy at a 30% discount it may be worth considering that or even something larger if the building they have in house and are...

Guys, thanks for the feedback. Yes, it is what I paid for (on this bid job) but the contractor stated the thicker concrete was actually better than a thinner slab and higher PSI, kind of what Ironcrow was referring to above. I have spoken with the contractor after reading this input and...

I am pouring a 1,400 square foot garage slab and foundation. I had specified to the builder that I need a minimum thickness of 5" and a PSI of 3000. They are now pouring a 5 1/2 - 7" thick floor (it works out better and saves them time based on grade and how foundation is going in) and said...

How much was this...? And was install price if separate? I see you are in Canada the brand would help to see if I can find a similar model in CA... Thanks! I will also search bi-fold doors as well. That may be an option.
