    Is my 24x24 slab good enough?

    I'm in Alberta. Mine was poured 26x36, 6 inches thick with a 16x16 thicked edge, no curb. This is what was required. Talking with the general contractor and the concrete guys we all agreed it was a bit ridiculous and 4inches would have been enough and probably a 12inch thickened edge...

    Water heater for addition

    Don't get a new tank. That's a waste of money. Run a hot water circulation line with a small pump. And then get the kids to take shorter showers.
