Thx man! And yeah this shit looks like a doit yourself at best. Worst part is I had them attempt to do the stucco on garage too. I all ready have a estimate to redo it. I'll toss up a pic of garage abortion in a few, just for shits and giggles.

Ps I need a estimate by June 22nd cause I'm taking this joker to small claims court for what its worth. 

Well seams i have more issues with this pad than the mason miss measuring. This thing is so uneven there is noway to put the floor kit on it for my shed. Can anyone recommend a company that will give me a written estimate to bust this pile of shit up and pout it the right size, and at least near level? 

  ?????

How much is hatfield?

They offer in State riders a discount over out of state. It may be worth it if you go there a few trips a year, but I still think they should offer a day or weekend pass. Can you imagine paying $50 and cutting a tire or breaking down the 1st few miles! All kinds of places to ride in that state w/out going to some marked trail area, 

I would be down for both dates... Also anyone want to do a hatfield trip?

In West Virginia now. But have never felt the need to pay for there trail pass. And I think it's bs that they don't offer a cut rate for day or weekend passes like Wayne does.

Anyone riding the 11th or 18th of June weekend postup.

Chains are such silly things.

Not if your working with 2 sprockets.

As for sealing, they make special sealers that are 'cure and seal' at the same time. They are for new concrete. Others that just seal, yea wait a month.

Nice to know, I will check and see if Menards sales the cure and seal. That will save me a month of time! Thx.

I know most of crack will be covered by shed. I just don't want it to fall apart before the shed does. And on sealing, everything I read says to wait 28 days for concrete to cure. This mason clown said I could seal it Monday when it was poured the Friday before!

Okay so the mason acts like he knows all about the rebar and epoxy. But should I do anything to prevent water from getting in between and freezing? I alrdy plan to seal the concrete before building the shed, but should I caulk the crack as well?

Why the hell cant people follow simple instructions?

i would tell him to bust the whole thing up and do what you asked him to do in the first place.  His loss. 

My dumb ass alrdy paid for the work. No excuse but I was feeling rough as hell, some sort of virus. And I never thought to measure it before cutting the check. I guess I should of measured his forms the day before the concrete truck came. Who's got time for this bs in today's busy lifestyle. You get to the point in your life when you have a few dollars and dont want to bust your ass, so I hire it out thinking it will be done professionaly and I don't bust a sweat or my back. I should of simply done this myself, I don't know what the concrete would of cost but I'd guess a savings around $750 and ended up with a 121"X143 1/4" slab.

I don't think this shed has runners. Shows a outer frame or track for the sides to fit in. It's a aluminum shed made by Arrow. I think I'm okay on the 12' side since it's really only 3/4" shy of manufacturers recommended width, but the 10' side is 2 1/2 " shy!

Connie14, thanks for the info you are the 3rd to mention this. But 1st to mention epoxy. I was wondering about that myself. But was thinking drill larger hole than rebar, so concrete would enter hole as well as rebar. I'm sure your idea is better. Although I like my uncles other idea best, but doubt the contractor will go for it. Which is to bust it up and start over, and measure twice this time!

Also cost of this was $1200. I was thinking what about 10' of landscaping timber down one side. And it could be anchored into slab. And just ask this clown for some money back.

Did not call manufacturer, just had this done this weekend. Not sure what you mean by runners?

I have no experience so my answer should carry minimal weight.

 

That said, if he does pour the additional 4" on two sides, I'd want rebar drilled into the newly poured pad and coming out horizontally into the 4" section.

That is exactly what my Uncle said. He too is not a mason, but is a general contractor. If adding the 4" to two sides, that would be the corner I set the shed on. I fiqure better to cover the scab work and leave the solid part exposed.

This is a question you need to ask the shed manufacturer.

The shed manufacturer recommended size is listed above. Will adding 4" to 2 side's last or hold together is my main question.

Masonry. 

Lmao

So my run of bad luck with contractors continues. I recently hired a company, to pour me a 10'x12' concrete pad to build a shed on. The shed manufacture called for a 121"  x 143 1/4"  I told the mason this, and he replied 10'x12' sounds good to him, lol. I figured the 1" one was being short and 3/4" the other way being long wouldn't make to much of a difference Anyway this guy ends up measuring his forms from outside to inside of 2x4". Making the pad 1 1/2" short on both sides. 

Mason's remedy is to add 4" more to 2 sides. Will this work or just asking for trouble down the road. I think I should just let shed hang over pad, and ask for discount. Please give any advise.

I will try and clear it with the boss.

Just realized that is memorial day weekend. I usually attend the annual 10 mile mud bogg in West Virginia.

I will try and clear it with the boss.

I wonder if that's what is happening occasionally when I space out in the afternoon. Feels like falling asleep but I always catch myself and sometimes its jolting. 

Naw that's your after lunch joint kicking in. But for real sounds like sleep aphnea

Is he there often?  My wife would love to meet him, I wouldn't mind either.

It's a long trip on a hunch. But once a year for the last 12 yrs. He does what's called fan appriciation day. Free food and drinks all day! This year Mark also had Kevin Harvick and Bobby Allison there for a short 250 person autograph session. Every year he has someone there, he's had jr there Gordon, Danaki ect. And Mark signed anything and everything during Friday and Saturday. They also had several bounce houses for kids. And all merchandise in gift store was 50% off. Was a good time and the BBQ brisket was amazing! It was all you could eat. In fact they threw some away at end of the day.

I recently visited the Mark Martin Museum in Batesville, Arkansas. Since I didn't want to take my car on the 650 mile drive, I brought part of it with me. I was able to get Mark to autograph these pieces as well as several die-cast, hats, jackets, and a plaque autographed as well. Mark is truly as nice a guy in person as seen on tv over the years.
