[Diy_efi] ever poured a large slab?

[Scott Pearson]

I did a pour this spring, with the help of several guys that actually knew 
something about concrete. Was an educational experience, though I doubt I'd 
try to do it myself. Hired one guy that was a pro, the rest were weekenders. 
Did a 19'x22' section in one pour. Here's some pics of the process if you 
want to see it:
