    Grinding uneven/ not flat concrete floor?

    Ok will that sounds like something I can do try to correct the worst stuff with a hand grinder then just run the planetary over to get uniform surface finish. I know I may get exposed aggregate in some locations and I don’t care. The apearance is not critical to me more so the flatness and good...

    Grinding uneven/ not flat concrete floor?

    Since the floor is majority flat except for the one low spot and the high edges do you think it will be feasible to grind down the edges some and then just work on the majority of the floor avoiding the low area? There is no getting away from grinding as I have to do something the get the...

    Grinding uneven/ not flat concrete floor?

    Well pretty much what I figured. The rebar and base compaction was all done by me so I know that was correct. The rain let up just after the last truck poured and they covered the slab in plastic for an hour or so and came back with the power trowel. I’m still water curing it’s been about 2...

    Grinding uneven/ not flat concrete floor?

    I should also mention a repour is mostly out of the question due to time and cost. This is a 8" thick slab with 24" footer and 4k fiber concrete. Rebar is on 12" centers and since I cut out some of the old slab that was here 6-8" fiber concrete with no rebar I do not want to cut out this one...

    Yes I’m in Gwinnett. It’s a hobby mostly. Most people don’t get it I don’t expect anyone too. It’s my thing I enjoy it. It’s my money.

    might see if the concrete guy can thicken the foundation under the heavy machine. maybe a concrete beam of sorts. I was thinking I could water cure for 7 days or so just by constant sprinkler action. I considered trying to make it like a pool or something too and just have it be a little pond...

    Riggers just had fun because they were pushing it up and down little hills. They used 3 skates no issues there. What do I search for to find the mix yards? I wasn’t really able to find any. I have a rotary laser level i will definitely check forms once the conrete guys leave. I tend to not...
