The Conversation Pit
This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it!

The Tnemec was only a 2 part epoxy and very thin. The bay however is pretty large at 80'x100'.

Now, if only the slab had been done correctly to begin with we wouldn't be looking at potholes and exposed rebar...
OOPS!

Pot holes in a fire house?
Crappy concrete job!

Yeah. Pretty sure the steel's supposed to be more than 1/4" deep!

They got in a hurry the day of the pour even though one of us pointed out that the steel wasn't gonna be deep enough. By "they" I'm referring to an ex-head of dept and ex-board pres who were "overseeing" the project.

Like putting kids in charge... Now we may end up resurfacing the whole thing. That should be cheap.... r-i-g-h-t!

bill,

I have seen a lot of those project go great. However, I have seen a lot more of them go bad! Seems like some of those guys are so book smart but when a real world application comes along they are brain dead.
More so on city, county, and commercial. States seem to be a little smarter and hire everything out most of the time.
