We're pouring a concrete slab for a house and the homeowner did all the prep work for the slab. He installed the gravel and graded it flat. He formed the slab with 2x10's and installed 2" of styrofoam. He staked (pinned) the forms, squared the forms, and set the forms to grade. We were hired to pour and smooth trowel finish the concrete.
How do you think he did? Do you like his slab design of 8" thick throughout the entire slab? Would you have done anything different?
Let me know in the comments!
