I hauled in about 40 ton from an old driveway, #2 & #8 White rock. I first removed top layer of sod, 5 dump trailer loads. Used disk on Jubilee to break up sod. Then I leveled dirt before bring in the gravel. Then I used some top soil and blended it in with the gravel. I had my building site leveled about 6 weeks before
Construction. I used my Dewalt rotating laser to get it level. Because a quarter inch of concrete is a cubic yard $100. So accurate level ground pays dividends. Between layers of rock, dirt and rain, I rolled it with you 5000# roller. Once it dried it turned into concrete.
I learned not to get in a rush to put down concrete. We got about 5 inches of rain and got a lot of settling around posts. So I added more gravel and dirt. Concrete finisher packed it in before pouring.
21 yards later, 5 gallons of cure and seal. I have a beautiful floor, 5.5 inches thick and contrary to some on YT, it hasn't cracked, settled, or sank to China. I've used this finisher on other jobs. He's a professional, Concrete finishing is all he's done and he is about to retire. I did all the excavation work with Jubilee and Terramite and dump trailer was very handy.
The thing I love are the sky lights under the eves. Highly recommend.
