  Land Preparation

Morton owners out there shouldn't feel dumb because you
heard you paid twice as much as you should have!Smile
I would suggest having the dozer out at the same time
your fill is being delivered and have a loaded dump
truck run back and forth over your pad at 1 foot
intervals of fill to compact. Bulldozers dont have enough
ground pressure to do this. Also take measures to
ensure your postholes are backfilled and packed well.
After a good rain, mine sank about 3 inches with packing.
I wouldnt want that air gap under a concrete slab.
I didnt see "rat walls" mentioned in the thread, if you
have had a rodent problem in the past I would suggest them.

A 24" deep concrete wall under the perimeter of a slab
that prevents burrowing animals from getting under a
slab and destroying it. You probably have them there
but with a different name. In my area it would be more
correct to call them "woodchuck walls".
