Alabama thread!

Lol I’m not in any hurry don’t even have a hilift, but it’s on my list. But thank ya I’ll still get one

 

Keeping the economy going

grounds a little wet, going to get some gravel to go in this hill to back yard. Used my new tool Milwaukee bandsaw cut the fence open and and to size and sealing it by added some tractor supply gate SF



Then peep the 20x16 patio. ignore the busted glass.



and finally a 25x25 slab with a 4x4 compressor pad in the back.

 

How much did the 25x25 cost you? And is it tough enough to put a lift on?

 

My prices are no good, I'm paying around cost for concrete. It's 4" at minimum and maximum 4.5" concrete is loaded with fiber and 3000PSI mix.

Also, depends on how much prep you can do yourself for cost of the pad.

I did all ground work, did all framing, and well basically everything with a skidsteer and laser level, went and picked up all the gravel in a 4 yard dump truck myself, but finishing the concrete that's a skill I haven't practiced.

 

Who screed it and leveled it out for you?

 

man named James Owens in Clanton, AL.

He travels all over state and out of state to finish concrete. He's an old family friend and worked on a Saturday so he could get me in.

 

Does he work for himself? Saving some future references.

 

yes, it's usually him and 1 or 2 helpers. Honestly I don't even have his number. I messaged him on facebook.

 

Way out for now from what I want done. Filed for future reference.

 

A square/rectangle concrete slab is probably one of the easiest things anyone can do themselves if they have any knowledge on how to square and level the form. Can even rent whirly bird from your local tool rental place if ya want the nice slick finish. Is nice to have someone with you as a helper but not absolutely necessary if you’re used to good ol manual labor

 

Almost my entire property slopes down. Im wanting a 26x34 slab poured thats lift capable. But the spot i want to put it is going to suck to level out. Ill probably do most of it myself then have someone come in a finish it so its right. Then have the slab poured. Jusy have no clue what id be looking at price wise.

 

Sweet found me a helper when the time comea

 

If you ever need the help I can.

 

my whole backyard slopes as well.

I'm not sure what cost would be to your area, but assume concrete is between 110-140 per yard. Quote high just to cover your basis.
Formula would be 26x34= 884 x .35 = 309.4 / 27 = 11.46 yards assume you need 13 yards for any inconsistencies. That's two trucks because at most they can only carry 9 yards in Alabama.
You'll have fuel and environmental surcharges in there as well, but they're not expensive.

Assume most finishers, that are decent, are going to charge close to 800-1000. Don't try to finish yourself unless you're experienced.

 

Wont be for awhile yet. But i appreciate that. I pay well, craft beer and good pizza

 

@TRD Tyler and anyone else with a 3rd gen that plans on going hard offroad. Proof that i solvef it. 3 years later but still lol.
