Well Mr. Concrete stabilizer specialist was quite impressed with himself. Sent me a nice informative book/brochure which had some Stroke and Poke in it, but informative if one read between the lines. It also had a tube of warming KY laugh2
So after his evaluation and attempt to impress me even further with his laptop video at which time I said just give me the numbers. He obviously expected me to just rollover as he say's about 28,500 should do it eek eek
I asked him what flipping galaxy he was from and said that ain't gonna happen. Did you see a big R for Rockefeller when you drove up my driveway? I actually got a little PO'd and told him you just wasted both of our times. Do you think I'm an idiot? At this point he knows he's about ready to head down that long driveway filling the joints with his butt as he slides LOL. So he quickly makes some adjustments on his laptop blaming a new bidding program while doing so. After a few minutes of fumbling, he says my apologies how does about 14K sound. I asked with what kind of warranty on the work? He responds with 5 years.
I said pack your sh-t were DONE!!!
So I still have the one guy at ~ 4.5K with an 8 year warranty which is obviously a lot more attractive but wanted your inputs before making a decision. my issue is time and this is just not in my experiences toolbox not to mention some physical limitations at 68 YO.
One of you (SRT) mentioned liquid rubber. Again ZERO knowledge on this, what might the cost / advantages be over the Material the contractor is proposing to use DOW SIL CCS (contractors concrete sealant). I am attaching links to the spec sheets/ info on the DOWSIL product.
