Forgot to mention, for this footer they ordered 1 yard of the same mix that the pad was (3500 psi and stealth fiber). They cut it really close, I would have like to see it come up higher but again this is not my forte.

Alright, update for today. Crew showed up this morning and immediately went to digging under the slab. Foreman was here for about 20 minutes and instructed his guys then bailed out. They dug a nice footer out until they hit firm ground under the opening that was 2 feet front to back (1 foot of...

Funny you ask, they put in the spec that it would be 10'x10' squares and I knew that was a tad larger than I wanted to do so when the day came to cut I told him that you quoted 10x10 squares but since there's an 8" curb and you aren't cutting at the base of the curb I want to make the squares...

I did check, they are about 1.5". I have a friend with the same saw they used and he said he would let me use it for the day. Should I take them deeper? Pad is a month old in a couple days.

Update, Foreman showed up today around 10am and I had some remodel buddies here to ask questions in case I overlooked a detail. The foreman asked me who they were and I said they were going to be working on the structure. Without any questions asked, he said his guys were going to dig out...

Thanks for all the great info guys! I'll try to answer all the questions: -we did get a TON of rain here in Phoenix in December and early January. A day or two before the pour they brought in two truck loads of ABC, smoothed it over with a gannon to get to to 4" and then ran a plate compactor...

Chaos, you are correct it was a wheeled saw and he was having issues with the saw handle that locks and unlocks the blade from lifting and dropping. I noticed with that saw he wasn't able to get very close to the curbing so he also had a skil saw and a hand grinder both with diamond bits. I...

Polar Air 7.5 HP for me. Works great! I got the 4 cylinder V pump, quiet and makes a bit of air.

I have the 20 ton and my neighbor has the 12 ton. Big difference!

I completely agree with the cut depth but for some reason he didnt run the saw to the edges with a deep cut, the rest of the pad has cuts that are maybe 1.5-2" deep. Is that good enough? Ive also been told that there should always be a saw cut coming from the corners (door openings), is this...

More photos. I have photos that they removed that soil and then put it back, should they be held responsible for correcting this issue? This one clearly shows that they dug the footing out across the garage door opening and then filled it back in. Filled in footer. This red square is where...

Hello fellas! This is going to be a long winded post but Ill trim the fat the best I can. I am in the process of building a detached 40' wide by 56' deep garage in my side yard and the concrete was poured about 3 weeks ago by a reputable licensed and bonded company specializing in concrete work...

American company or American made? Not many that are American made anymore. I think only the QR Quincy, Saylor and Champion are made in the US anymore. Not saying this is a fact but I did ask that question about every compressor I shopped for.

I was on the market for a compressor last year and when I went to the Quincy dealer I asked some questions. One thing I found was that the affordable models (QT and QP if I remember right) of Quincy had reed valves as opposed to the QR level having disk valve. Saylor brand also has disk valves...

I bought Auto Enginuity and havent once found something it would not do that I needed it to do. I bought the basic scanner and the Ford OEM software because I do a lot of work on Powerstroke diesels.

I ended up purchasing an Eaton 7.5hp 80 gallon last November. Compressor is very quiet and works just like I wanted it to. Runs my 20cfm sand blast cabinet with ease. Also had something strange happen that I'm not used to, was using an air disc sander to clean up a project and the compressor...

Single phase it is then. Thanks for the good info guys!

I am close to purchasing an Eaton compressor but I am stuck on deciding on 3 phase or single phase. I do have 3 phase on my home but the wife has been talking about moving the last few months. Is it beneficial for me to buy a 3 phase and benefit from cheaper operating costs and easier operating...

If it is an FS10 compressor it is not hard at all. The link the wizard sent you for the video shows what to expect for the front half of the clutch removal, the rear is just a pressed on piece which you have to be careful removing but it doesnt take any special tools. There is a snap ring that...

I have the matco kit and while it works great, the gauge glass (plastic) became difficult to see through. I clean it and put it back in the case after every use too. I had the stant tester that I bought from Carquest and it was great, unfortunately I gave it to a friend since I had 2 testers. I...
