TomVan, 9 February 2011Hey Glenn, We have considered moving the ISO to the middle "and" the far end. The middle posed a problem with line of site to the LR from the CR And the end posed the…
xSpace, 10 February 2011Actually, it is my understanding with much support that as long as a concrete slab is on this earth it is in a state of curing, that is why the older it is, the harder…

TomVan, 15 February 2011Hey Brien, Sorry didn't see this until today. No ones arguing that a vapor barrier is needed. And yes a "cold joint" will be around the perimeter of the new pour. Is…
