Rain next few days so will probably NOT be digging footings on Friday. :no:
To comment on your recommendations:
- We will definitely be tamping the ground after digging footings. I discussed this with the concrete guy last week.
- We will be using 6 mil vapor barrier.
- The concrete contractor (friend) has extra re-bar and prefers reinforcing wire over the mesh. (are there advantages to the mesh over the wire other than cost?)
- We are planning on saw control joints every 8-10'
- Had not thought of the curing compound/sealer . . . any recommended vendors/brands?
- We were surprised last week to find that the barn at the top plate was perfectly level! Only explanation was the 4x4s in concrete did their job extremely well.
