I am a newbie when it comes to construction. I am considering ordering a video titled "the how to guide to building a monloithic concrete slab foundation" from www.learnstrawbale.com. I'm not interested in strawbale construction but only this video.
I have a feeling it won't cover some of the issues we have here.
When making a concrete foundation...
How much base course is required over bare pahoehoe?
How much base course is required over bare a'a?
Should I have the lava ripped first?
Does it (the basecourse and/or lava) compact well?
What else should I know?
Is it possible to pour the concrete directly over lava?
