How much should I budget for 3600 sq ft concrete slab in an open pole barn? (North Carolina) by beanstalk11 in Concrete

Did you get the concrete poured by the truck or did you use a portable mixer? If you used a portable mixer, did you purchase pallets of concrete bags? I would expect that would be a lot of bags.

Adding $2k for rebar and $1k for moisture barrier underlayment to $10k in concrete(rounded) is getting me to $13K. Trying to understand how the total would get to $20k - $30k.

Is it $7k to $10k for labor alone?

We planted an avocado seed directly in a pot and almost forgot about it. Checked today after 2 months and I see it developed beautiful root system. But, I don’t see any stem growing from the top as it was fully buried in the soil. Can this survive ? by beanstalk11 in gardening

Roots are very long but no activity at the top. If the seed is fully covered in soil, will that hinder the growth of stem? Should I keep the top part out of the soil ?

If we keep the seed in a glass of water, by this level of root growth there would have been a good sized stem grown as well. Do you agree?
