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?

      By Mage · Posted

      The last thing I will say, because I'm not going down this Bryce Young rabbit hole again, especially with said poster: You guys aren't the only people who see what you see.  Stop focusing on small minority of fans and voices.  The media has accepted Bryce Young isn't anything more than a game-manager at best.  You can literally look up "Bryce Young Franchise QB" and the only thing that pops up is that the Panthers MAY be viewing him as one, but no media outlet supports it.  The vast majority of fans accept he won't ever be the guy. It is such a stupid conversation for this reason.  You guys get so tripped up over such a small minority.  Bryce Young SUCKS.  We get it.   And feel free to continue to converse about it.  It is a discussion forum.  Have at it.  But can we just stop using words like "retard" to describe people who might not want to go as far as you all do?  Or acting like you have some unique ability to see things in the game that others can't?  There is no "mythos" around Bryce Young except in your head.

      Only thing I’ve seen that says it on is TWSN sports which is notorious for clickbait titles and in the articles it usually says something like this is a prediction not a report even though the title of the article sounds definitive.

      Sorry, someone probably said this, but I'm not going back over 9 pages 😃 QBs get an outsized amount of credit for wins and losses.  Bryce is the same way.   He was far from good except for a handful of plays.  That's not a recipe for success long term.  On the flip side, with the running game and defense playing so well, he's not being asked to do too much.  He doesn't look like "the guy."  I'm all for bringing in real competition with Bryce this year.
