My project at Waxman’s wash

[Eric H]

Been working all week replacing a slab for Waxman. Original contractor didn’t heat this slab on the north side of the building. The ice hasn’t been as bad as you’d expect but now it will be no issue at all.
Original Carwash installer only ran two 1/2” runs of conduit to the auto cashier. One of the conduits is over the max fill. I added two more 3/4” for later use. Plastic is cheap!
Pouring tomorrow morning.
I’m getting too old for this!

Just remember, he's probably one of those rich carwash guys hoarding quarters so charge accordingly. Hold out for the brand name booze and a steak dinner.

I am not familiar with the yellow blocks being used. Are they for insulation and structural? Here we would require minimum rebor on 2 foot centers and for a drive over area like this I would use rebar on 1 foot centers. What cement are you using and are you including fiber mesh? I am just curious how different area of the country build. I am sure everything you are doing is going to be great. And yes concrete is for young folks,

4000psi DOT mix with 3/4” stone.

I’ve always done 6” wire mesh (this is 4” because that’s all they had) with 1/2” rebar along the perimeter. Plumber always uses this grid system, so that’s what we did here. I tie to the mesh grid when I lay the tubing. This is a MUCH easier system!

I picked the Site contractor and Waxman used his own plumber. I was going to do the plumbing but my schedule got messed up and I couldn’t make the time commitment.

Can you guys please add a picture of how this was connected to the existing floor heat system? I need to do the same thing eventually.. I have crazy ice problems on my north side, its the exit of my automatic.

I had a leg of floor heat running to my old automatic rail system. We are going to go off of that here is a picture. I'll also include a picture of the tubing coming in the wall near the entry apron.
