Adding a 60’x40’ pad with awning to get the demo fleet out under some shelter. It will connect to the existing barn foundation (1” lower).

Select fill going in and beam trenches being created. Lonestar is a great onsite superintendent!

No adding a gabled roof design to avoid columns in the middle. Want free open space within the pad for honky tonks. I will gutter both sides and catpure rain water for :princess: garden. More like attached pic but posts will be on slab attached to weld plates that will be embedded into the concrete. Side walls will be 16’ tall so that I an add rollup doors and enclose if I chose.

It's not a linear curve. First 24 hours is more important than the second 24 hours. Sprinklers would also work. Just FYI.

I will go away now. 😁

Always appreciated! Thanks! I might get a j(h)ose going
 
Okay so I lied; I'm back. Post 120 and 131 are worth a look regarding water curing. One year later and I have 2 surface cracks about 3 feet long that are tiny, like hard to see tiny.


Looks like you have a very professional crew on the pour. You certainly put enough rebar in the slab. I like it!
