Broke ground on my garage today! - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Made some more progress today. Dug the footers and spread gravel. Hopefully I can get the concrete poured in a day or two.

Concrete!!

Suprslo · 10-25-2013, 12:58 PM

Now just have to let it dry a little before I smooth out the garage floor.

that is looking real good

Suprslo · 10-26-2013, 12:06 PM

Got the forms removed this morning. I'm real happy with the way everything is going so far. I'll start buying materials next week for the building.

I know building codes are different everywhere in the country. But just out of curiosity, why was rebar not used to reinforce the concrete?

Suprslo · 10-26-2013, 12:44 PM

Rebar was used only for the footers. We didn't have to use rebar on the front because that is where the garage door is going (not a load bear wall).

I did a similar pour for my foundation when I did mine (28 x 32) a few years ago. Monolithic turn down pour, rebar on the edges. I used wire across the center though. Mine was 18" thick at the edges and 6" across the center. Total was 22 yards, that was a long day. Be sure to post plenty of pics, looking good so far.
