Dan, Im curious, how much do you figure you saved on your concrete work by doing it yourself?

Actually I just looked at the quotes I had received and they were for a 4 inch slab with 8 inch thickened edge...I made mine 6 inch slab with 12 inch around perimeter....that $3,600 more in just concrete...estimates from the more reputable were about $16,000 fo the 4”....I’ll have about $11,500 in mine.....so if the contractor did it like I did I would suppose it would be closer to $20k. Add a whole bunch if you put tubes in because you have to insulate the whole thing then too. I’m just fine with a propane Modine type unit. Each to his own though. I will tell you this....the dirt work and concrete forming work was a hell of a lot of work! And I used vacation days to do it. I probably would rethink some of this, but the concrete guys were booked all summer by April so if I wanted to get going, I had to get going. lol
