The moisture coming up from the ground will be very minimal on a covered area. You'll notice it at the wall lines unless you can get a good seal where the building meets the concrete. We only used plastic on concrete that was inside of a building. I'm not sure if a carport actually qualifies. If...

8 years ago the guys I worked with wanted $250 for an 8 hour day. They figured their normal wage in cash since their side work was always on Saturday. Not sure now. I'm gonna be finding out in the spring when I put the addition on my house and build my shop. To help with the drying time from...

I treated working with concrete just as I do tree work. Learned as much as I could and do the job to the best of my ability. The company I worked for did commercial work and demanded quality. Just passing on some insight.

You might also want to place some conduit stubbed up to run power to plug trucks in or run a light. Beats having cords running across the yard or driveway.

It won't hurt anything to put plastic down. I think 6 mil is the thickness we used. The amount of moisture coming up from beneath will be minimal. There will be more from the humidity in the air. Plastic is cheap so it won't hurt

Shouldn't need expansion joints in a slab that small. Relief cuts on the other hand will be needed. Cuts should be 20-25% the thickness of the slab. No single section should be bigger than 10x10. I'd divide the 19' side into thirds and quarter the 25' side. It might not be a bad idea to place a...

Yes but the straight edge would need to be longer. You would need two on the straight edge and one raking. 19' is a long span to pull and hard to find a straight 2x4 that long.

I labored for concrete finishers for nine years and I'll tell you it's not as easy as it looks. It's just like tree work, we make it look easy and so do they. Don't forget to have fall on the slab for water run off even if you're putting a carport on it. 1/4 inch per foot is standard no less...
