After seven days of watering, pulled off the
HydraCure® membrane to find a beautiful (and uncracked)
concrete slab. Using my angle grinder,
cut the rebar pins down to their proper sizes, i.e., 9½″ for the curbs and 29½″
for the walls. As new concrete does not
bond with concrete that has already set, those pins will keep the curbs / walls
from moving laterally (or vertically, for that matter) on the floor slab. After a brutal week of 90°+ air temperatures,
the lake water temperature is up to 84°, the warmest that I have ever observed.
