They are 6 bulb T8's, got 8 of them, with cage guards and a package of T8 bulbs all for 200 bucks. gotta love craigslist, surplus from some big commercial job in buffalo, I didn't ask questions just handed cash and loaded lights..

Heard what I thought was faint water running in the house, looked out the window and saw the concrete guys back. They were cutting the expansion joints. Did a grid of 10'x10'..

It was 28 yards total...

All I have left on the outside it the lighting and putting in the rest of the driveway. Time for some inside stuff to finish up..

Yeah I hadn't either, mason said its only 100 bucks to added it as well, he said he hasn't touched a wheelbarrow since this company added this to a couple of the trucks. I was shocked too, only 3 guys..

Door one is hung....

Its bird eviction day here, Garage doors going up...

well to give you a ball park.. I just finished a 40x40, 12 tall, with two 10x14 garage doors, ceiling and cement floor for just under 25,000.. seems high to me.. Though morton quoted me 43,000, same construction methods, except they use nails still, which I cant grasp..

I posted this in a another concrete thread, but figured I'd post it here too.. Over all it went great, crew was awesome even had a couple beers at the end, pumped to have the floor in.. I just went out an misted it and I'll keep it wet / cool all day for the next week. Time lapse...

It's not... shhhhh It will be plenty far from the inside wall, but only 1" from the outside wall..

it was suppose to be 4", but the rebar was dead center and the entire day I watched the pour they were at 2" above the bar, so i am guessing i really got 4 1/2" or 5" out of the deal. The front 8 foot out of the shop was 7-8" thick, they actually ran out of cement in the last truck, the on...

Pictures always help.. But I think that it really depends how far out it continues after the building, if it drops off steeply, then it would bother me. That being said, if its properly compacted and continues out a ways, i think it will be rock solid..

Yeah I complete understand this now.. When they did the final grading they left a couple high spots here and there where it would only be about 3 1/2 inch thick, so when i used a 2" stand with 1" of rebar on it, well it seemed high to the eye. I am going to ask them to shoot it with a trans if...

I left two spots, one for my water line and the other for my electrical to come through. Once I get everything ran I'll mix up a couple bags and finish it off. After I finished everything up, I got a hose out there for them, electric cord, cooler full of drinks and a bag full of snacks.. And...

I was told they will make a expansion cut between outside and inside, but he recommended running the rebar between the two... Suppose to have garage doors put up Monday, is that enough time before a latter is used on the concrete or should I push him out a couple days? Friday AM pour.

Didn't know the 24" rule of thumb never done rebar before, most are only a foot or so. They are tied well though, because I asked for 500 ties, he said 28 bucks. He hands me a roll of 5000 and says that's the only way we sell them. Beats the hell out of the thin gauged 50 pack HD and Lowes...

Dunno, i wasn't going to, but should i if easier to do that? I am running 2-2-2-4 for a 90amp service.

The outside slab is 1" lower than the inside so it can be keyed like you suggested. It's also sloped 1.5" away from the shop. I put the chairs on the top bar only because they seemed a bit high when on the bottom bars. I am planning on setting up my camera in the window to do time lapse video...
