What is the most economical driveway material?

• <div><p>Gravel driveways are the most economical driveway material, followed pretty closely by asphalt and concrete. At about <b>$1 to $3 per square foot, </b>gravel is about a third of the cost of either of the more common alternatives. But, not everyone likes the look and feel of the material and may opt to pay more for something that looks better.</p></div>

Q: Should chain link fence posts be set in concrete?

• <div><p>You can technically install a chain link fence without any concrete. However, your fence will be less stable and more likely to shift or lean over time. </p><p>Instead, try setting the terminal, gate, and corner posts with concrete and filling the line post holes with dirt. You&rsquo;ll build a stable foundation without spending all afternoon mixing concrete.</p></div>

Q: Should you wet concrete before jackhammering?

• <div><p>Yes, you should always wet concrete before jackhammering to avoid harmful dust from becoming airborne. According to the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, they recommend a wet-cut method that involves continuous spraying of the concrete where the jackhammer bit hits. Use a jackhammer with a built-in sprayer attachment, or have a work partner spray the area with a garden hose and spray nozzle.</p></div>

Q: Can a concrete slab be poured on dirt?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pour a concrete slab on dirt, but only if you follow specific requirements. A wooden frame is a must, and the soil layer used for the base must be wet enough, thick enough, and compact enough to support the weight of the concrete slab. Consult with a concrete contractor to ensure you have the base you need.</p></div>

Q: How does concrete not stick to formwork?

• <div><p>Most of the time, you or your contractor will spray the concrete form and framework with a release agent or oil to prevent sticking. This is common practice with wood and steel forms. For insulated concrete forms, the styrofoam formwork often remains in place after construction, so you don&rsquo;t need to treat it beforehand. Foam concrete forms made out of melamine also may not need treatment beforehand, as the material naturally won&rsquo;t stick to the concrete after it&rsquo;s cured.</p></div>

We had a new drain line installed for our washer, which is located in the middle of our home. Both Allen and Miguel were professional in their work. The job required jackhammering concrete in the laundry room and piercing a new 2-drain line under the house foundation. We are very happy with...

Facility looks like a junkyard. Even in in the front most part of the office, it reeks badly of urine. My dogs came home with sores on their legs from laying on bare concrete. The food we sent with them (portioned out) was still over half full. Never ever ever again.
