Any concrete experts in here? Or contractors that are familiar enough with concrete?

[QUOTE="Teal Terminator, post: 14445354, member: 26375"] As far as I know, yes, that was the finished concrete without any type of sealer. They did use some type of machines that they rode on top of (I think that is the power float you are referring to) to finish it. Not sure when relative to when it was poured though. And yes, the contractor is reputable. My dad went and saw several other completed "barns" that this guy/company had done before hiring them to do the job. I don't know if the GC used the same concrete company he always uses but I would assume so. I could be wrong on the compressive strength but you have to know my dad. Whatever was recommended he would want to go at least one step above that. And for reference, if it matters, "barn" is 60'x70' (I think) and is was mainly built to store an RV/bus and then a couple vehicle, a tractor or two, and equipment. Not that anything other than the RV really needs more than "standard." But he was worried about cracking/etc and I am fairly certain he had them lay steel beams down the length of the building where the RV would drive over and be parked. Then the concrete was poured over and around the beams. I know many folks said the beams were over-kill but like I said, you have to know my dad, lol. I'll have to ask him if he has the mix design from the GC or concrete folks. Thanks for the input. [/QUOTE]
