Nah , many years back like 1977 my buddy and i poured the floor in his new 40x72 , just he and i from the wall to the edge of the big door it tapered fro 4 inches to 8 inches and down the center it was eight inches thick with wire all the way across from the walls to the door we started off mixen ourself and pouring a little here and there and had about half hand poured before we said enough was enough . He and i cut a deal with the local cement place that we would haul them two big loads of sand a day in the evening when we came home for concrete as he and i ran coal buckets and came by the sand and gravel plant each night on the way home . So the deal was struck and we had a 6 1/2 sack mix bought out . we formed up half way down the middle and he and i poured over 32 yds the one day and Hand finished it and that evening pulled the forms and the next day it was a 30 yd pour . four days later myself my buddy and his brother backed in our three coal buckets loaded with his brother being the lightest at a 119 and change and Mike and i being 126 128 and change . and to this day there are NO cracks in that floor , it was put down ontop of 6 inches of 57 slag and wire and LOTS OF BEER CANS , Beer cans are the secret . Many 120000 lb plus loads were placed on that floor.
