We tend to overthink things and plan for every possible scenario. How many times have you wanted to run a line of some type under your driveway? Not many people have but just in case we ever want to we will have conduit under the garage drive for just such an instance. At our last house 6 months after we had built we did run invisible fencing under the drive through the conduit we had put in. The only problem was we had marked the drive with little arrows drawn in the concrete and they weren't big enough for us to find easily when we needed to so this time we actually have the conduit coming up out of the ground with a cap on it at both ends. It will be hidden from view by the buildings so we are the only ones who will know it's there.
Got to tamp the dickens out of that sand so there are no cavities that would crack the floor.
Laying the forms around the outer edge of the drive against Bill's incredible retaining wall.
Lots and lots of rebar, you can never have too much metal in your floor with Oklahoma's freeze thaw causing ground shifts. And especially now that we are in the middle of earthquake country.
These little guys help make the slope of the floor so all liquid runs out the door and no anywhere else.
Every 18 inches we drilled rebar into the existing foundation of the two building to tie the garage floor in with the house and the West Wing. Concrete being poured in the morning.
