Bad idea?
If I raise the slab a couple more inches than planned the gravel base should drain well. Will that do?
Also, I'm going to tell him not to add more water when the concrete arrives, nor any lime. But i'm trying to decide whether to have the concrete source to add fiberglass or airiated (can't recall the term used) .
Which do you think would be better?
It's supposed to get back up in the 50s next week and that's the time he planned to pour.
Any other things i've missed?
