Here's what I used to break apart my ledge



On a John Deere 410G

[hotrod24]

yea my dad has one at work lol i ask him why did you not bring it when you had the cat he said i dont know

[Blazin]

The ledge will be a great footer. If it goes all the way under your structure I would just drill it, pin it, build your form, and pour your concrete in the normal fasion with a re bar grid.

[hotrod24]

yea it does all of it is rock in the back i dont know how much it would cost to get a wall poured but i will check in to it

[hotrod24]

hey guys for the last week i have been digging dirt yea more dirt lol to uncover all of the rock so i can get the rock out its been a pain but it is coming along pretty good i cut the bank back more to get about 4 1/2 foot becuase ones the walls up i want have much room back there to get a round i would have went further but a tree is there so i left about 2 foot of dirt in front of the tree so it want go boom on my carport and truck lol anyways after the rock is gone i will start on the other side get that dirt gone then put up the wall and get concrete. i have been taking pix as i go here they are.

okay i know this is getting boring but it has to be done lol my cousin come up and brought his hammer drill it worked pretty good but still would not get the big rocks out so i got a sledge hammer and wedge and air hammer and started working on it and i have been getting some big chucks out i am going to finsh this right side and work my way to the left this is what he got done













                                 here is what i have got done

WOW! How much wieght have you lost? LOL. That is quite an undertaking!

[hotrod24]

not any lol i only weigh 130 so i would hope that i dont lose it

[BigBadJohn]

Wait. I dont understand whats going on
Are you burying your carport in dirt, or making concrete walls for the tin roof or whats the plan here?

[hotrod24]

lol no i am not burying my carport i am trying to get the rock out so i can put up a retaining wall to get rid of the water and dirt off of the bank and i am going to pour a concrete floor then close the carport in

[hotrod24]

ok last week i started working on moving dirt to uncover the rest of the rock and i got it done,  so no more moving dirt for now but this week i am going to get the rest of this rock out so i will be done with this side and i can start the wall i have been piling dirt so i can back fill the retaining wall

[oldwhity]

Geez, i've never seen so much work go into a carport before. lol

[hotrod24]

you are right about that one man it is alot of work

[hotrod24]

could someone figure how many bags it would take to do my 18x21 carport i know a truck would be easyer but this might be cheaper

thanks

That depends on how thick you want it ..

5 inches thick you will need around 265 bags (80 pound bags)X3 thats like 800 dollars
4 inches thick you will need around  210 bags (80 pound bags)X3 thats like 630 dollars

That is alot of mixing it would more than likely be cheaper to get 10 yds of premix (in Md its 85 for 10 yds 50 deliver =135)
