Message: [QUOTE="HLT, post: 240516, member: 20968"] whyz, Fiber mesh was a good choice since you have no expansion joints. It won't keep the concrete from cracking but will minimize their size and appearance. The old saying is "Ice cream melts and concrete cracks". Basically, the fibers serve the same purpose as wire mesh in a slab. What to use inside your house depends on what it's for, whether you are pumping it and how hard you want to work to finish it. The best way to minimize cracking is to pour the concrete dry. But that makes it harder to work so many contractors will pour it too wet and live with the cracking and shrinkage. By the way, since you are in Gresham, do you ever ride at Mountain View? Great track!! When my son used to race a lot, we'd go there after the Washougal Nat. It was always fun to race there as they are a great bunch of people. Have fun. [/QUOTE]
