[TheForge] OT: My floor is poured: the saga

Block mason starts work tomorrow.

When done, concrete company will pour a new 6" thick floor atop the one 
they botched, on their nickel.  I will have a 12" thick concrete floor.

Just for information: if anyone will be pouring a floor in the future 
and you're debating whether to putin remesh, debate no more. The north 
end of my new 6" floor has the mes sitting on the botton because the 
concrete was too stiff to move it up into the middle region.  There is a 
fine crack in the new pour, about 12' long.

Steel in the concrete makes all the difference in the world.  Never 
forget that.  I sure as hell will not.

Setting the drain is going to be "interesting".  I thnk I'd rather a 
sharp stick in the eye.
