QUOTE(stevie8 @ Aug 25 2013, 01:43 PM) Compacting means pushing a steel rod deep into the wet concrete and pull out and repeating pushing in and pulling out till you see no air bubbles coming out. Do not push the rod till you hit the soil when compacting the base bringing up the soil into the mix. This is much more than DIY. Impressive, but beyond my level and time. You are likely to be in construction. |

Sometimes it is a trade-off between paying someone to do the job well or spend time to do the job yourself at lower cost. If I DIY at your level, I will have to spend more money to undo the damage I have done and redo the work using professionals.
