Tonik Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 That is retarded advice. Different depths beside each other will rise and fall at different rates as the seasons change. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our concrete sub had do do a similar thing before because one of his guys didnt square the one side. When i installed the sunroom the homeowner wasnt liking the reveal. So he dug out the yard about 6" put some gravel down and a few pcs of rebar and filled it with concrete. Same thing i said to do basically. The slab my room sat on he poured has footers all the way around it. Say its wrong all you guys want. He is good at it. He can pour any size slab dead nuts level with a super smooth finish. He does work for many of the sunroom and remodel companies in cincinnati Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Quick Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 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?

M_Quick Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Quick Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) I swear to God I didn't do this shit myself. Paid $1900 for garage and $1200 for pad.This looks like those clay houses they make by hand in Africa.

durk Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 That pad is rough. I can see the bow in it from your picture. I used to do some construction with my dad back in the day. He would have killed me if I did work like that. Guys like this contractor used to tick my dad off to no end. They give other contractors a bad rep. Good luck with it. I hope it all comes out in the wash when it's all said and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Quick Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 That pad is rough. I can see the bow in it from your picture. The bow is the least of the problems, but yeah looks like shit. And would be a eye sore forever, even after the shed was on top of it. The hump in the middle is a big issue. And the one corner is like 3 1/2" lower than the rest. This guy said he did it that way for the water to run off. Hell there won't be any water hitting it once the shed is on top of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've NEVER done concrete, and common logic tells me the form and screed work has to be level. I truly hope the judge tears this guy a brand new pimply A-hole in court, and at least makes him pay for a REPUTABLE crew to fix his fuck up.

M_Quick Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 That would be nice, but from what I've read just because I win a judgment don't mean he will pay. We looked up his adress for business/home and it's a rental. Was hoping for a intrest bearing judgment lein. Maybe they can do that on his pos work truck or something else?

JackFlash Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) There's a fix, not so difficult. With a concrete saw, and maybe a hammer and chisel, cut the pad to fit the inside dimensions of the shed so that the shed will sit down over it. Then pour a border one inch lower to set the shed on. Your floor will be elevated by one inch and that will prevent water from trickling in. Also, the slope you didn't want will allow water to drain off the floor in case you want to hose out the shed. You may want to create a couple drainage channels under the bottom of the shed to insure water will escape to the outside. I would put at least two under each wall. .
