Re: Building a New House

Text of the message:
A lot of what you call cutting corners is a matter of perception.
I doubt a corner was being cut when the gravel showed on the jobsite.  The
slab should have 4" of gravel under it.  The slab should be 4" thick.  The
gravel was probably unlevel or too thin and the contractor was going to
build it up.  If 4" of concrete is adequate and gravel is cheaper than
concrete, and gravel is available, why wouldn't you do that?
Also, why do you think the concrete trucks carry water?  Water can be added
to concrete on site if necessary.  I'm not saying it can be reduced to a 8
inch slump, but adding water to concrete is not cutting corners.
