[wedge40]

Thank you Sir.
Looks good.
When are the cement guys showing up?

Wedge

 

[Dave Maxwell]

Thursday morning.

 

[Dave Maxwell]

Ill get better pics in the daylight

 

[wedge40]

Good luck today Dave.

Wedge

 

[Dave Maxwell]

Thanks. Very nervous. Not going to be there and didn't finish pressure check. New tube shouldn't leak. To the point that. I dont care

 

[Scooter Scott]

That looks sweet man! Good luck with the pour!

 

[Dave Maxwell]

Won't know anything until 4. Long day for sure

 

[Dave Maxwell]

Told they had 5 yards left at 11. They have 40 plus down.

Your back will thank you that you weren't helping.

 

[Dave Maxwell]

After the 15 hours sat and 11 Sunday I was shot. Whole body was sore. ***** getting old

 

[Dave Maxwell]

They are still power troweling it. Looks good so far

 

[Scooter Scott]

Pictures?

 

[Dave Maxwell]

Will tomarow. They are working with flood lights now. Not many pic opportunity

 

[wedge40]

10:00 am. We're curious Dave.

On a side note after 8 weeks of waiting, my concrete is suppose to start today.

Wedge

 

[Dave Maxwell]

I work from 7 till 3:30

 

[Dave Maxwell]

Having wife take pictures tomarow. It looks like ****
work they are going to sand it. Any sand tips. They have never sanded a floor

 

[oilslick]

However bad it is mine is waaaay worse!

 

[Dave Maxwell]

That's not good. Told them they might have to rip it up and redo

 

[joes169]

So what exactly happened? If they were still on power trowels after 7PM it's hard to believe it got away from them........

I hope you can come to a resolution with them, as it's far more costly to tear this out than just the concrete. Good Luck.....

 

[wedge40]

I've been afraid to ask about the outcome! My concrete guy finally got started Friday. Was it bad cement or weather related?
Wedge

 

[Dave Maxwell]

They said it was too dark to see what they were doing. They thought it was good until they came by Friday. Wife took some pictures in the daylight for me. Will post.

 

[Dave Maxwell]

It has bumps. Some smooth spots. Then alot of white normal texture concrete spots. Swirl marks.

 

[wedge40]

I'm guessing you don't have power in the barn yet?
Let us know how they handle it.

Wedge

 

[Dave Maxwell]

I ran extension cords and floodlights is all they had. They are going to try grinding it. I gave them 6,000. They won't get the 4,500 until I'm happy. If they have to tear it out they will. Already let them know I'm not one to cross

 

[wedge40]

I'm no cement expert, but it seems like they can etch the floor and pour another thin layer down. But ultimately it will be your call on whether to accept the fix
Good luck, I don't envy you at all.

Wedge

 

[Dave Maxwell]

From what I here. Thin layer will crack

[rockchucker]

WoW! You would have to be blind as a bat to not see that while you were doing it. I have only ran a Power Trowel a few times but my outcome was waaaaay better than that.


Ughh...Sorry man. They should make it right for sure. Seems like a lot of grinding and polishing to get that out.

 

[oilslick]

Doesnt look too bad to me, but you outta see mine, no pics cause I didn't wanna break my camera! Seriously I bet a grinder in thr right hands and it will look bitchin. Good luck Dave !

 

[Dave Maxwell]

Was told I would get a Menards finish. He won't get paid until it fixed right. Even if he has to redo whole floor

 

[Scooter Scott]

I don't blame you at all.

 

[CNGsaves]

Hope that grinding will do the trick. Either way, I think you should get some sort of "haircut" on the price. Surely they should have known how long everything was going to take. They could just as easily had a generator and some lights of their own!

Let us know how it turns out.

 

[Highbeam]

I think it looks pretty good. If you posted those pics and said you were thrilled I would have cheered you on.

 

[joes169]

I know pictures don't do it justice, but as a concrete guy, I don't think it looks that terrible. You're always going to see "swirl marks" from finish machines when it's green. There are a few areas that appear to be a bit rough against the wall, and it looks burnished on some of the overlaps, but most slabs that are taken to that level are.

What is/was the final plan for the floor? From what I can tell, every Menards floor is slightly ground, and definately treated as well.........

 

[Dave Maxwell]

I can live with the swirls. The white splotches and lumps that can't be seen in those pics ate ridiculous. I didn't pay for combine storage floor. Deal was showroom finish. This is my place of business
