You already have a lot of info. The one thing I did not see or may have missed is that in many juridictions the plans would not do you any good again as they only accept wet signatures on the architechs and or engineers stamp. I like the one your other repliers said buy plans close to what works...

I am a retired contractor. We did overlays and I think the best approach is to drill and epoxy in some vertical steel at the original footing, then attatch a perimeter bar to those. De-grease and muriatic acid etch could be used if the old slab does not have many cracks. Then still use 6x6x2.9...

Too bad you used that latex stuff. Having been a general engineering contractor I only use the products that come from you local asphalt quarry. Then you can add some sand, 30 mesh but you have to keep it mixed and you need the large rubber edge squeegee. The quarries often rent the slurry tanks...

It sounds like you be splicing underground or? The connecter that the previous reply says is correct, but you should not splice underground or in a conduit if you can help it. Why switch to aluminum, copper prices are down right now and in the long term less problems. Utility companies like...

I worked on it for 5 months off and on but didn't really keep track as I was doing so many other things at the same time. It was only worth it because it came with that hydraulic box and a good running engine and trans.
