    How long has that pizza sat on the counter?

    Some of the things i did when i was younger, eat pizza so dried out yoo had to cut the crust off, i swear there was mould. Never got sick once. But I used to eat dirt as a child also. Not paste or crayons though, there is a line. Corey

    Do you use toppings on your chili?

    If im just looking for a quick lunch, ketchup and mustard, if its more of a supper thing, I will throw on some sauerkraut or sautéed onions. Since I started making the home made ketchup is a game changer. Corey

    The engineer i discussed this with said 10" thick with at least 3 to 4 inch of base rock, compacted, dowels in the existing pad for keeping things all even. He suggested 4500 psi, Im going 6000psi. Im thinking 12" also, im here now. Corey

    Well, i managed to get all the concrete and chunks,rebar cut and down to dirt. Now i get to do it all over. Im not sure if I want to dig this footing or cut the other one. The weather is still decent, maybe i will cut the other one now.

    Finally got the last big piece for my shop.

    The shop is 30x50 so i decided to put the hoist off to the side a bit so i still have plenty of room to pull vehicles in or in case i have any larger welding projects on the other side. I can't wait to get it working, im getting up in age and crawling around on the ground is for the birds. Corey

    No, it looks like the concrete next to the ground didn't cure properly or something. Its powdery is spots like too much water, or the was water incursion under the slab. Its not a huge deal, the top portion is solid, but im glad I found this, it could have been a disaster. Corey
