Thread: Dam its been a busy week for me, check out the start of my new storage building.

Its been a supper busy week for me. This is what else i been doing while workign on the forum this week. now i have to wait like a month before i can park on it or wait for the building to start going up

Ended up being 48.5 yards of conc.

Sooo jealous!! Should be nice when its done!

make sure nobody marks the concrete, i hate when that happens

keep us posted, i wanna do this to my backyard!

That's a lot of concrete.

You don't have to answer this if you don't want to, but out of curiosity how much did it cost you in concrete alone for that size...I may be doing something similar in the future

I am in oklahoma, got to watch out for the tornados here. Much better than sitting in a bath tub with a pillow over your head.

Conc runs about $100 a yard, for 3500 psi once you put in a struc fiber in it, calcium because its cold and a hot mix to make it cure better.
I have little over 5k in just the conc not counting paying the people to work it.
Your going to spend about 4-6 dollars a sf to pay a company to work it. This took 6 guys workings so they could get it finished before it set.

Good for you! Keep us posted.

I'm guessing you have some columns going in for the super structure as well. I'm not used to seeing concrete with next to no rebar.
