I think I am going to shoot for 5 year warranty. They came back offering 1 year against heaving. That means I take all the future risk and cost for there screw up. Rather take my 50% for when I redo it

The ground under the soil is all clay.. General area issue not specific to my back yard. When it rains I get pooling as in runs off. The drainage is getting addressed but due to the actual building {walk out backyard} I can only raise it so far.. The 10" perimeter was to act as a curb and direct water away. The centre of the pad was supposed to be 6" and the perimeter was to be 10" -- exactly and that's what the contract stated in writing. Management company knows they dropped the ball and are on the wrong side of the contract. Getting slow details on it but the person managing them was on another project at the same time and thought it was all under control. Such a PITA no easy fix,

I kick myself daily on this, We paid a company to manage the install. The pad was only 14x28 and was completed in a day, I saw it later in the day after it was poured. I said rip and replace from the start.. Management company is looking for other options.

Sometimes you just have to reach out and see if there are any experts on the board. Back ground. I needed to put a backyard concrete patio in, I knew where the concrete pad was to be located had bad drainage So I had the company that was doing the work come in and inspect in the spring. 6-8 " of water (clay under the grass) One of the suggestion was to put 5-6" in the center and put 10" around the perimeter. The 10" on the outside would act as a curb and deflect water. Along with changing the drainage this should solve the problem. The 10" came with an extra cost but I thought it would really help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now the issue, company pouring the concrete did not get a copy of the actual contract or the details and poured a 6" pad all around (re-bar / granular /etc was installed) They only dug down a tiny bit so the 6" is level with the yard not dug down. Not what at all was in a signed contract, will not help the deflection of water. If water gets where I know it will the concrete will heave, They offered me a 1 year warranty on heaving. (I laughed) I was thinking a 10 year on heaving, I clearly have the contract and could sue but the fix is to remove and redo this is a major head ache, I have the hold back on 50% of the cost and won't release it. If this was you any options or things I can do

Nice!

4K Up Front there's your issue. Bet the business has the name changed before the end of the week

Not sure its right to call them morons, there are people out there that can not afford to heat their homes in winter. Given a choice between heat and food some were going for the heat. A plan to reduce the cost will entice a large number of people. The mess is there I would love to see a plan to fix it not just kick the problem to my wallet.

Freshtrax is a great guy!!

Get a Quick Disconnect Battery Terminal.. I have them on all my batteries, I separate the Core engine, Battery charger and auto bilge. Everything else is disconnected when done for the day. No worries that the kids might press power on fish finder's, turn on the stereo etc

They Look great and good price

When I read this in the National post there was up-roar about the loss of investment " USA politics bla bla bla" If Government on "BOTH" sides of the great lakes thought it was that important they would do what they could to stop it. Funny you then see new articles like this https://www.thestar.com/news/crime/2011/03/04/man_fined_50000_for_importing_asian_carp.html... Second time caught. Where was the uproar on that. kill the carp ~ P3TA complains Put in expensive barrier.. Voters complain Do nothing.. Easy

Cost of doing business,.. They got sloppy, probably cut corners. no checks and balances. I am sure new policies and procedure are now in place. All lodges will shape up. All that being said, they should not have that much fish in the freezer.. Really sloppy they should have donated fish not taken by clients.

Very nice!!!
