They were 80 pounders and a “small” tow behind rental mixer.

After I talk to the company tomorrow I’ll see where I stand. If this is getting ripped out (which I really think it may have to be), I may end up ripping out even more since I have water draining to the side of the garage on the old part that heaved a little.

I should print this thread for them. I bet they don’t understand half of what you’ve said!

Exactly. Because you can only use so much mortar at a clip.

Let us know if it’s getting ripped out again. What’s the garage look like? How many floordrains, etc.?

Jeff, Why is the real question. Why did you need all that work done in the first place?  
_Not_ trying to sound/act like a dick. Your house is what $300,000 ? Under 15 years old.

Obviously over the years, things don’t pop in your head and say i want a different garage floor.

You do alot of your work by yourself and don’t ask for help, This is serious stuff.

Scold those fuckheads and get your project done right.  
Using a simple tri axle concrete truck ( front or rear dispenser ) is beyond belief, fuck them

The only possibility, think is they were scared of cracking your driveway with a 50,000 lb+ truck.

we’ve used frazier concrete pumping int he past  
its funny cause my brother likes to do the “easy job” like run the power buggy and move the chute if its a rear loader… well he said he’d help the man on the nozzle of the pumper hose. well that damn hose gets a bit heavy once that crete is flowing through it hahaha he didnt know what he was getting in to

a good man on the hose can make the pour go very very easy with little work from the rake men

I’ve talked to them, but I don’t have a contact. If they’re in the area we let them wash their hoppers out here. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

The owner was out having dental surgery, so I got hold of someone today. They want to come out Saturday to see it and put Densicrete on it to seal it. [http://www.densicrete.com/](http://www.densicrete.com/) I told them they could come look at it.

The concrete around the lignite spots seems way too thin and would crumble regardless of how it’s sealed and strengthened by the Densicrete. So I called the Densicrete manufacturer and they confirmed it - Densicrete won’t stop the spalling from the lignite since there is no bond between it and the concrete. They would recommend not using their product for this, and jack hammering the concrete out.

So they can come look at my floor if they want, but I don’t see how an installer of a product can possibly go against what the manufacturer says.
