I hope this is fishing related - my boat sits in the Pole Barn and is the sole reason I built it, so I hope that counts.
I just finished construction on a 30x36 pole barn at my home in Warren (by St. Helens) to cover up my boat. I have a good gravel base surrounded by pressure treated 2x6 and just need to pave it with a 4" slab of concrete. My neighbor across the street is putting one up too and said he found a guy who will pave it at $1.85 a square foot (which comes to $1998 - that price doesn't include rebar). I know nothing about pavement and had a hard time getting some quotes over the phone from guys in the yellow pages. I know that the concrete alone would cost me $1100. Can anyone here help shed some light on the topic? Is that a good deal? Anyone had this done recently and have a recommendation? Also, do I need rebar, steel mesh or fiberglass in it? My boat weighs about 4000 lbs and I park my truck in there too - about 5000 lbs for the truck. If there's a concrete guy here who could supervise the labor part maybe we could work out a trade for some fishing trips???
Thanks in advance for your help, and my apologies in advance, Jen if this isn't sufficiently fishing related.
