Should I add reinforcements for my new concrete slab?

• <div><p>Whether or not you need reinforcements for your concrete slab depends on the thickness, what you’ll use the slab for, and the climate and soil conditions in your area. Adding reinforcements increases the strength and durability of your concrete slab, so it’s ideal for load-bearing slabs like driveways and home foundations. It can also help reduce the risk of cracking in extreme climates and areas that see excessive soil movement. Speak with your professional to determine if your project requires reinforcement.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't put gravel under concrete?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t put gravel under concrete, the concrete can crack, sink, bow, or crumble. Even the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-forming.htm">concrete forming</a> process will not go as smoothly if you are working directly on the soil or bare bedrock. The lack of a proper gravel layer can also lead to drainage issues below your slab, leading to water issues throughout your lawn and around your foundation.</p></div>

Q: What's the best way to melt ice without damaging concrete?

• <div><p>Natural ice melts can often get the job done without damaging concrete. You can try non-corrosive options such as kitty litter, alfalfa meal, coffee grounds, sugar beet juice, and heated snow-melting mats. While they may cause some staining, these natural melts are safe for concrete, pets, and the environment.</p></div>

Q: Can I use thinset mortar as a floor leveler?

• <div><p>While you shouldn&rsquo;t use thinset mortar on its own as a floor leveler, it can work alongside other products to help level floors. For instance, you could start with a self-leveling compound, let that dry, then apply backer board with thinset mortar to help fully even out the floors ahead of laying tile.</p></div>

Q: What can I do with extra-wet cement?

• <div><p>The easiest way to handle extra-wet cement is to pour it, let it harden, and then recycle it using one of the methods above. You can also crush it down and sell it for base materials, although this can be pretty time-consuming. Your best bet is to start with less concrete than you need and make more as you go to avoid this problem.</p></div>

The only problem is the replaced shingles are a LOT darker than the original. Original is a light grey and replaced ones are not close - almost a charcoal. That is okay because this is a rental property but I wouldn't want it on my house. Jose did let me know they wouldn't quite match...

The biggest problem with the whole job was that Jeff didn't keep an eye on his contractors. He essentially subcontracted all of the work, as many pool contractors do. As Jeff's office was about 40 miles from the job site, he wasn't really around too much to keep an eye on them and ensure they...
