so how are you going to support that concrete roof? It looks like the boards you have in place are temporary for the pour. Will that slab span that distance unsupported when cured? How thick are you pouring it?

we're pouring it 12" thick. we build what is called an "armadura" here (not sure what they call it in english). kind of how they pour bridges. basically it's a rebar fence that is tied into the exterior vertical columns. the boards you see are to hold up the 2x12's we use to pour the concrete into. Basically the boards go up. Then we build stronger support columns out of 4x4's. Then the rebar fence is tied in and laid on top of the 2x12's floated 2" from them actual wood. Then we pour PSI tested concrete in 1 shot while using a special machine to make sure no air pockets exist in the concrete. it's basically just a big metal bar with a cylinder inside that spins rapidly. they call them concrete vibrators. LOL.

Remember the initial drawing as well. there are 2 interior walls so there are no extremely long distances that the pour must span.

HOLY SMOKES! 12" that's great. You won't be getting any ambient heat getting through with that! NICE.

thanks for the description....makes total sense now....I think.

so then after cure you drop the 2x12's out? leaving a concrete ceiling?

Sad how a forum that should contain peace loving hippie stoners becomes a warzone when this guy posts. Atleast save your angry bullshit for something not so heartfelt as someone sharing their experience with a lost loved one, and what their doing to try and make the world a better place in their memory. Sorry for your loss, and i hope some of these people see the good in what your doing and try to emulate that in their own lives. Instead of spreading blind hatred for someone or something they dont know about, or care enough to get to know. Good luck to you and your family in all of your future endeavors.

Exactly...then after we pull the 2x12's out we do what;s called a "repello" here. Sorry but i learned construction in Spanish so i don't know the words in English sometimes. Basically they use a fine cement mortar and smooth out all the walls. The i will seal it up and run 3 70 pint dehumidifiers in it for a few weeks to sure it. Afterward we spray the entire interior and exterior with a masonry sealer called Drylock Extrmene using an HVLP sprayer; 2 coats. She's be sealed up like a submarine. even the doors we are installing have special seals on them.

thanks bud, he really was. sucks i had to find out just how amazing after he was killed. since he was an operator we didn't even know he was MARSOC and my younger brother is a marine and he didn't even know.

he was in special ops, and no one knew??? that, sounds a bit off to me. i was in special ops, it's not a state secret. we "had," to wear our squadron patches on our b.d.u.'s... i think i'll stop reading this thread, before i read something that causes my posts to get deleted, lol.....

cool cool :)

are you incorporating some sort of "clean room" upon entry from outdoors?

I wish I had one. I've been battling root aphids for the better part of a year. I know they came in on my clothing. I very nearly shut down at one point due to them.

i've learned to take biosecurity very serious since this nightmare.

i wish, unfortunately i didn't have the room. the total area i had to work with was limited so i had to eliminate the clean room and the drying/curing room. i'm building a blackout slide down the middle of the flower room. that way i can put half the room in complete darkness for 48-72 hours and then go in and cut the stalks before i turn the lights back on. once the stalk is cut then the plant can't begin to uptake any chemicals. gonna use a 3x3 tent in the workspace room to hang and cure them. a few little clip on fans and a 4" fan and carbon filter exhausting the tent and creating positive pressure to bring n fresh air. tweak it till i get it so that they hang for about 3 weeks till they are ready to be taken down and trimmed.

just take off your shoes before you enter and then wash up in the workspace before you enter the plant rooms.

google MARSOC. then google humint/counter intelligence. then ask me if my family knew he was in special ops. my little brother Mark was a Lance Corporal with infantry and he didn't even know. You may have been "special ops" but that tends to encompass many different levels of special operations forces. some tend to talk more than others about it. some tend to "wear" it more than others. and then there are some who tend not to talk about it at all. those men are called operators.

i actually find your comment a little offensive to be honest. especially if you served. since you were a "special ops" guy yourself then you obviously know about challenge coins. do you have any you could show us a picture of?

i've got a few, but my mom has the really special ones. at this point sharing hand written letters from The President and Admiral Bill McRaven would be pointless and disrespectful to my family.

hey you know what, fug you! coming here looking for donations, telling your sob story. you don't know me. you think you gotta be dead, to be a hero? there's loads of them out there, alive! i bet there's more than a couple here, reading this, but saying nothing. you don't have to be "recognized," by some politician to be a hero. me, i'm no hero. but i put time in a few war zones. i also don't think this is a very good choice of a venue for this sort of thing. kind of disrespectful to the individual you're here about. this is a pot site. don't seem right to me...

and yes, i know what a challenge coin is, i have 2. how many you got???

Scoob`s brother was in charge at any given assignment. Sounds like he took them too. Definitely not someone that typed that sloppy shit above.

They don`t do anything sloppy.

so you got what you asked for, but that's not good enough. what should i do now, put on my dress uniform, with my decorations? lol, you're lucky you got that. this thread should be closed. the majority, if not all of my posts here are fairly helpful. somehow, your thread just touched a nerve. i think it's highly inappropriate. this is really a no win for me. you have all of these couch patriates ringing your bell, lol. friggin shills...
