06:00 Wake Up Errbody :happydance:

Gonna watch some more of Carpenter’s videos & get learned up better on this concrete pour :ugh2:
Never ashamed to admit when I’m not experienced in a particular subject :rolleyes:

Reaching for my morning pills :eek:

Weighed this morning after squeezing Trigger...249.8 :tup:

Target weight around 240# after I start back exercising a bit & tightening up :icon17:

Almost time to drop the Brown’s off at the SuperBowl :stirthepot:

Gonna have to make ramp form as well...that should be good, floating concrete on an uneven surface :icon08:

Probably won’t go quite as tick on ramp; gotta maximized that 10yard truckload :ugh2:
I’ll stop at 12 consecutive

Well, beings all you fellas are still sleeping...I shall proceed.
The pics here are the outer boards just used for a 1.5” spacer; plan to put the form boards against these & remove these spacer boards afterwards :ugh2:
But after looking hard at it....wondering if it’s gonna be a peckerhead getting concrete all around the post & to the outside that 1.5” :confused:
Could have the concrete just inside the 6x6’s & then use solid cement blocks between the 6x’s all the way around, as when garage is let down to resting point, it will be bolted back to the 6x’s to hold in place.
Thought’s and any other idears welcome :ugh2:
Or either delete the concrete from going to outside of 6x posts & risking breaking off that piece....:ugh2:
I know there’s plenty ways to skin this puss :rolleyes:

Oh Snap...29 outside with real feel of 21* :icon14: :wtf2:

Look’s like Old Guy in this video, notice the ppe :icon17: :rofl2:

After watching some of these videos & knowing how long it’s gonna be before lowering my box down, contemplating just focusing on the pad for garage & the doing the ramp afterwards :ugh2:

Nope. Just get a vibrator in there and work it around.


This is much larger than you need but the vid shows how it flows when the stinger hits it. Your guy should have one.


You can also tap(beat the chit out of) the form work to get the mud to flow around the posts if your guy doesn't have a stinger and you can't find one to rent.

You should. The approach really needs to be a separate pour with expansion and rebar pegs. This lets the approach hinge with the floor without damaging anything.

I'd also pour the approach about 1/2" below the top of the floor. Helps keep wind driven rain from blowing under the door.

Morning all! Hope you had a great weekend. All guitars and bass are now done being tracked for my album, planning to knock out some vocals this week.

Oh, and with my abrupt surplus of free time, I guess I'll start DEI wrapping my turbo kit :-D
