    so the sides of the steel legs rust but the bottom of the same legs wont?
    you people are brilliant.

    clearance? Sure. Pour a one foot slab and maybe you should worry but if you're parking a boat, car, or RV, I'll bet you can get away with a 3" slab.

    thank you all for validating my concerns....

    Not nearly as bad..

    Why don't you pull the building off with a tractor, pour the slab with ramps on both sides, and pull the building back on the slab..

    Probably need to anchor the snot out of it.. Like 36"OC with 8'' of embedent

    Harv is still hoping everyone gets pissed off and leaves, so he can get his land back.
    The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is,
    as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

    Wrap it with plastic, seal it up good with duct tape...fill with enough helium to hover it at desired height over work area.
    Once slab is done, shoot a couple holes in the plastic.
