It rained 2 hours after builder poured slab for my to be home, we bitch about it to regional manager and my builder agreed to pay for someone to test it. I have no idea who does it... Any ideas?

Contact a geotechnical consulting firm. PM sent for a local guy I know.

Bastard.

It will probably cost somewhere in $300 range. Just have to check if top layer as strong as it should be. It will probably take no more than 30 minutes. I read everywhere that concrete can weaken due rain and start flaking within first 5 years.

I will have hardwood floors all over the house... this will ruin the whole flooring if it flakes.

That is pathetic, you need to run away or lawyer up!

Its not my concrete, it's just an example of flaking concrete, sorry. My concrete actually looks nice but I don't want to take any chances. The builder might be right for all I know. That's why I want to make sure.

Make sure builder put in vapor barrier beneath slab. With a 3000 psi pour you should expect to see about 70% strength after one week, so you should see about 2100 psi now. There is a test called a Schmidt test/Schmidt hammer that is an easy way to test. PM sent again.

Get the fug out of this contract. There are hundreds of homes for sale that were built well.

Why would you say that he should get out of the contract or question the build? The builder is doing the correct thing by paying to have it tested. Raining after the concrete was poured was beyond his control.

Now, if he refused to have it tested I would say you might have an issue. Or, if an issue comes from the inspection and the builder refuses to correct it.

Unless....you thought the pictures were actually of his concrete.

After reading all the things that have gone on during this build I would not feel comfortable moving into that house. It is a huge investment/loan to undertake if you have doubts in your mind.

His woman must love the house/location and is pushing him into this house, jeez guys don't you know how things like this work? :D

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      Bryce Young isn’t a bust, the Panthers are | SB Nation https://share.google/oYybGvyvzUOIgbplX From a couple months back, came up on a quick Google about Bryce Youngs processing ability. Emphases how struggles are not his fault but the poor team built around him. I don't really feel like looking for others; it's similar to various things said across the league.

      Okay, I'm going to take a controversial stance here... maybe. I think that we are told constantly that the QB is the most important player on a football team. And many times, that is true. They can make a team or break a team. But what if the QB is just one of the cogs that makes the team work. Like the computer in a car, it doesn't run the engine, it just sends the electricity/fuel/torque where it needs to go at that minute. It feeds this, then that, this, then that again as needed. If a team is run with this mindset, and the QB is just there to feed the ball to this RB, to make sure the play gets in to all the guys on the field, to make some last moment adjustments and make some throws to open receivers, then it all works. It's game management, it's playing point guard, it's the pivot point. And, well, Bryce has been doing that. He's mostly been trying to let others do their jobs and stay out of their way. And, like it or not, the kid has shown remarkable resilience when the game is on the line. He suddenly gets tough and focused.  Nope, he's not turning in the stats to make the fans cheer. He's not throwing precision strike bombs every third play. But he's somehow there, making his contribution. He's not a star, but he's not bad either. And that makes it tough on the fanbase. It's hard to get behind him and cheer him on. Even though he's been behind center for one of our best seasons at the midpoint in a long time. Maybe he has a breakout game and passes for over 300 yards and 3 TDs. Maybe he completely collapses in a five turnover, seven sack game. Maybe he just keeps handing the ball off and making some decent mid-level throws when needed. Who knows? But I will say this. The kid that got just thrown into the bench from that sideline smash early in the Green Bay game got up like a helluva man and went back out and competed. Stats and stature aside, the guy ain't a pushover. And you've got to respect that.
