Hi there,
First time I have done anything like this. Over the weekend I laid a 8 x 6 concrete pad for a shed I ordered. Had a complete nightmare. Ordered all the stuff using online calculator. Saturday I started the dig and filled with hardcore (75mm) whackered it down with whacker plate. I then made the shuttering for the concrete with some 6x2 tanilised wood. All was going well until I come to the end and on Sunday at about 6pm I ran out of ballast. Then Monday morning I had to scoot upto the builders yard to get 7 bags of ballast to finish it off.
I've since read you cant add concrete ontop of set concrete if its more than 2-4 hours before first batch was laid. Please help do i need to rip the hole thing up and start again. It's dried different colour too. It will be all hidden by the shed so colour difference is not a problem, just concerned about how structually sound it will be.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
