First time posting any of the work I've done. Tell me what you guys think.

3rd season driver here. My boss recently got rid of the good acid wash, the new stuff barely removes dirt.

Do any of you buy your own acid wash and if so, what brands do you use? Thanks

Any info is appreciated x

Seriously?

This was one of the worst concrete in my life. And I’ve been in this bussiness 10+ years.
3 day casting, 1500 square meter fields and 300cubic liters of this horrible stuff every day for 3 days

I'm bidding on this project which includes a Concrete Weir and I have everything figured out except these triangle+lines marks. Does anybody know what they mean, I've attached all details I have.

Worse case I ask the Super for a RFI if I win the project.

Saw cuts going in….Ashford Formula next…burnish in 28days 👌🏻

Interested in hearing from this community. What kind of scope do you perform and what’s your experience with rodbusters and reinforcement subcontractors.

Hi for everyone who has tried J3 Homesite Ready Mix for their slab, I’d like to ask for feedback regarding its quality? Or maybe a recommendation for concrete pouring?

Here in Australia, reinforcement for light duty slabs, paths, driveways etc is almost exclusively welded mesh sheets. In USA, the images I see are exclusively manually placed rebar. Both methods obviously get the job done, but does anyone have any ideas as to why have the 2 countries settled into such different methodology?

Showing a garage we just finished, it didn’t go as I would have liked but it’s a learning experience. The concrete cured to fast because of being a higher psi.
But wanted to show how we prepped and the work we did. It was grueling prepping with me and another guy but it came together.

In the photos we over excavated 3ft of loose dirt in the garage mixed it with water then compacted it.

Super bad ass job to be apart of, used alumna gang forms for all this

I've been around construction my entire life but up here in the great white north, I've never seen homes built with tension cables. The foundations are deep, I see various vapour membranes and methods like ICF, but never seen anything done with cables. Why are they seemingly popular, or at least common, in the US by comparison?

Let your bro know how you really feel about them

Probably out last of the year depending on weather next week. The stairs came out really nicely, my right hand guy did a sharp 90° edge along the entire patio that came out mint

Please take a look at the WikiFAQ posted here: https://old.reddit.com/r/Concrete/wiki/index

The chances that your situation is covered in the WikiFAQ are pretty dang good.

If your issue is NOT covered in the WikiFAQ, this is the place to ask if that hairline crack warrants a full tear-out and if you're asking whether or not a quote is reasonable, don't bother. We don't know. Pricing is highly localized AND time-sensitive.

Looking to settle an argument with people that have more experience with this stuff than I do.

Solomon ultra fiber 500. The color fiber they sell. Instructions say to put it in an empty truck. Dispatch says after the truck is loaded.

My instinct is to follow the instructions. But I want to give their experience some weight. So which is better
