I'm curious. I've always played around with the idea, but never really priced it out. I've build/set forms and done sub base before on other things, never done the whole process myself though. Has anyone in here? How did it come out?

Yeah that's paying someone to do it, I was more looking for people who have done it themselves."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Hit up Sean88gt... He has put down thousands of feet of concrete with his workers (non concrete guys). I could have sworn he told me they laid a couple 6000' slabs in the past.Originally posted by CJ View PostYeah that's paying someone to do it, I was more looking for people who have done it themselves.

Yeah trucked for sure. I have never paid for a truck before, I assume there is an initial delivery charge and then it's by the yard?Originally posted by UserX View PostIt's easy, with help. Shit sets up fast and an extra set of hands helps. You'll prolly also want to rent a float and a couple other tools to do it right. Are you gonna mix your own cement or have it trucked in?

from my experience, granted on a much larger scale, if You buy a certain quantity there is no trip charge. not sure if it is anything under 10 yards (full truck) or if there is a threshold.Originally posted by CJ View PostYeah trucked for sure.

You get charged by the yard. Usually there is a minimum (say 5 yard minimum). If you take too long on site, they charge $1/min to sit there. You also need somewhere for them to wash out their truck.Originally posted by CJ View PostYeah trucked for sure.
