Diluting concrete with water to make it workable

[Rob Tucker]

"Sting" is referring to vibrating the concrete.

My advice to UKJ, just be aware, concrete work is more than just brawn. JMHO, but concrete work (especially structural) is one of those skills that require some expertise and experience.

I've mixed, poured, screeded many a yard in my day, but I hired professionals when it really mattered.

Brilliant. People often lose sight of the "expensive" part, in this case jacking the house to dig underneath -- by which time the concrete is pretty cheap.

Is this pour for new footings or a slab?

[unknownjulie]

Officially for new footings, but it may be "expanded" a bit...

[DanielP]

How will the house be supported while the new footings are placed?
