Good Morning so.Cal and what is the weather like there today?

We are having a snow storm

Hi Sean - light rain off and on. About 55 degrees right now.

Its raining in SoCal- 3 Day Weekend for Steve!

I've been off - last worked on Tuesday.

Winnamucca, That is the town I had my first.... Um, never mind :-missingt

Ouch! Are you guys still getting a ton of rain out there?

I hope it Rains here durring the weekend, Cause the wife wants me to clean the Yard :mad: It's a Acre + and takes all day

I'll try to send it down your way, Bill.
Not a lot of rain, at all. Just enough to make it muddy enough to keep me from working (but that does not take much).

Do you do brick work Steve, or do you concrete. or both?

Speaking of Concrete, Steve, is 4000 psi worth the money? it would be for a Home slab. In the Future

Brick, Block, Stone, Concrete - I enjoy Brick the most, hence the username.
As far as 4000 psi goes, Bill, it is required in certain types of soil conditions along with lotsa steel.If it is not a requirement, I don't think I would spend the extra dough for 4000psi. 2500 psi/w a good pattern of #4 re-bar is a pretty darn strong slab @ 4" thick.

Yea the guy said because of the soil (very sandy) was the reason, BUT we did a 20 X 12 slab for my shop with 2500 and it's holding up well ?Two story make any differance

Oh, yeah. Two story makes a load (pun intended) of difference.
You are going to have a lot more weight on the footings and probably some large piers in a two story. It may even be designed as a post-tension slab, where they run steel throughout the slab, bring it into tension with hydraulic equipment prior to concrete placement, then release that tension after the appropriate amount of concrete cure time. Such a slab would almost certainly require 4000psi.
Post-tensioning is pretty much the same method as is used for the manufacture of component parts for bridges and such.

It's snowing there???LOL!
