Bummin'

[csuggs]

I'm seriously bummin here fellas. For the first time in 3 years the Ohio River is georgeous in April. Sounds great right? The weather is good, the water is clear and clean, the levels are good . . . However, my boat is penned in the garage as I just had new concrete poured in the driveway this week. So it's gonna be another two weeks before I get out.

Two weeks? What the hell? Did you get the slowest curing concrete known to man? I was able to drive on mine after 3 days.

I think now would be a good time to add that additional garage door on the back side of your garage. This way you can just back the boat out and all is good. I think all you would need would be a good blade on your circular saw. The door can be added back at a later date, although if you cut this good enough you might be able to put the wall back up.......silicon, and paint and your all good. Just a thought for ya.

I like that idea, except that the garage floor is about 7' above grade in the back- this is West Virginia where nearly Everything is built on a hill!
I thought 10 days was a little much myself, but that's what my contractor told me.

That is a bummer. Agreed, that is a long time for concrete cure. Why didn't you pull the boat out before they poured?

And leave it outside????? If I did that we'd have thunderstorms and hail!

Did you pour Fiber-reinforced concrete or is it over rebar? He is messin with ya.... No Way on two weeks.

[csuggs]

Concrete with wire, about 5 inches. He said wait at least a week, 10 days is better. I said two weeks because that's the soonest I can get out with my schedule what it is. But I could go this afternoon if it wasn't for the concrete and that's why I'm bummin.
