What a bunch of jews. 1972 and they pour a floor with NO rebar and at best 3" thick. Fucking stupid.
>>2956894It's not like a car is going to drive on it.
>>2956894>NO rebarThat's a good thing
>>2956898It's cracked to hell because the foundation settled. They also used only a couple inches of sand instead of gravel or rock. Probably didn't even try to compact it either based on all the voids. Lazy shit.
>>295689450 year old concrete floor, still fine if it has a top floor over it, easy to cut when needed, nothing to worry about
>>2956988Based on all the oy veys
>>2956894just don't even have a basement, make a house on 4 foot stilts and be comfy. Fuck the HOA
>>2956894why do you think houses were so cheap back then?
>>2956894It's pretty normal for a first floor - they pur a framework ring with rebar, fill in the hole with rocks and level the whole slab with about 3-4 cm of semi-dry concrete mix.
>>2956894wow... im guessing who poured it also owns a foundation repair company....
>>2956894That’s bretty bad.Should have a vapor barrier and be a bit thicker over gravel. Not soil.On the plus side, when you re-do it, you can make it better now that the ground has settled.
Demolition continues. No rebar encountered. The thing I thought was going to be an actual footing with he main load bearing wall of the house is actually just a concrete curb poured on medium density fill. Should be fun.
>>2959615It's called a rat slabYou'd need a vapor barrier over it for most flooring anyway. It's just there to keep critters out
>>2959616that's on the to do list. ill be doing 2 big pours of around 600 sq ft each and 4 inches thick. with rebar this time. 4 inches of gravel for the radon mitigation, we tested over 9 parts per whatever. and since im pour new concrete I am just going to tie some pex pipe to the rebar incase we decide we want radiant heat later. re doing the sewer as well of course.funny you mention rodents, I did find a pile of ripped up plastic bags under the slab and the bags are way way newer than the slab.
>>2956894> jewsHave you seen how much concrete the jews use half of Israeli is concrete
>>2956894It made it just fine until you cut into it
>>2961158I'm replacing the sewer and adding radon mitigation so it wasn't fine. My temporary live is in now. I just need to build a footing for for a load bearing wall and I'll be ready to tear out 1/2 the slab.
>>2956894yeah, that's fucking bad.but speaking of shit construction, have you seen some of the new abominations that jeets are "building"?
>>2959648Well, it’s probably more bomb resistant than osb.
>>2959620If you're doing radiant, you need like 4" of insulation under it or it'll worthless
