Not sure if any of you have had concrete work done but whole sh!t they rape you if you have a contractor do it! My pad would have been 4x the cost then what it cost for me and my brother to do it. Sure it might have taken longer as I work throughout the day/week and can only do so much work each night but in <2weeks I had it prepped (tampered the soil, formed up and rebar in place) and ready to go
yesterday was a busy day though with the pour.
