Rustico. Thanks for the invaluable information. I just sent that entire post off to my bro-in-law. It is adevelopment home and his phase is getting poured next week. I will go with him to the pour in. Good points about the rebar. If they just pour on top and not pull it up then it wouldn’t do any good. I’m glad I’m involved in this process because by the time I buy my own home, I’ll know what to look for in a good builder and what questions to ask to ensure they are not BS’ing me.
