Ready for the truck

After years of debating between a deck and patio, and a few more years of procrastinating, I decided

Rebar is dowelled into the foundation with a 2 foot deep integral footer around the perimeter. Ought to be enough to hold me

By my calculation, it's going to take 11 or 12 yards of concrete. I hope the truck comes with some Mexicans

Looks good.

I might have made it bigger but we can always deck it out farther.

Looking good! I recently did a 26' x 36' with 1' wide footings 32" deep for my new loafing shed. It was re-bared and vapor barrier-ed the same way. Footings and pinned like that are the way to go.

Are you sure on the 11 or 12 yds? I'm gonna guess half that.

Looking good! My only caveat would be to throw a little more steel in it. I went on 12" centres using 16mm bar with nary a crack after 4yrs... Concrete is gonna crack, get your control joints in the first 24hrs.

But thats just my over-engineered kraut ways.....

I hope you have a Margarita christening and enjoy!!

Not a construction estimator, maybe I don't know how to calculate. This is what I was using

2 footers 1' wide, 2' deep 10' long = 40 cu ft
1 footer 12 ft long = 24 cu ft

64 cf / 9 = 7.1 cu yards. For the footers alone

Plus the rest of the slab at about 6" deep

Am I figuring that wrong?

YES. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard. Your / 9 calculation equals a square yard.

The two footers are both 1' wide, with a combined length of 32' and 24"(2') deep. 32' x 2' x 1 = 64 CF / 27 x 2.37 Cu.

The rest is 10' x 12' x .5' = 60 CF / 27 = 2.2 CU.

2.37 + 2.2 = 4.57 CU. I'd order a 5 CY load.

Well... 1 cubic yard of concrete at 4 in. thick will cover 81 square ft., if you triple the thickness to get to 1 ft, 1 yd. will cover 27 square ft. 27 being 1/3 of 81. So, your 64 cf of footer should require 2.37 yds. 64 divided by 27 = 2.37. The 10x12 slab at 6 in. figures up 2.22 yds. Add 10% for waste and you are around 5 yds. Cheaper than you thought eh?

Ah, I see Mike and I hit at the same time.

Ah yes, that pesky 3rd dimension



And this is why I am not in construction

Also likely explains that last dropped call you experienced.

Thank goodness I'm not the one ordering it

They showed up this morning and poured it. 5 yards is a LOT of concrete!

Typically, they want 60 percent of compressive strength before you start putting weight on top. That can only be measured if they took field cylinders and break them in a machine to determine what the strength us measuring.
Was this early strength concrete, or just typical 3000 psi?

It's been 4 or 5 days and it doesn't have to hold much weight. At least not yet.

Progressing nicely

Using a truck is cheating. Cowboy has been mixing his by hand. He complained about the 80lb bags.
