Questions

A couple of questions that maybe you can help with. Am considering having the concrete floor pumped in since that will save my back and be less labor intensive. Since the floor is benched (slopped to the drain) I was wondering if the pump concrete has to be more watered down to be able to pump it? I plan on dropping about 8" over a 5' span so I need the concrete to have some stiffness to it or it will try to seek it's own level and I will loose the slope. I hope that I explained that well enough. So do you think that with this type of slope that the concrete consistancy will be sufficient and yet be able to be pumped?

Next question, your blocks have a grove cut into one end of them I see. What is the purpose? Will rebar go into that grove or is it a mortar grove? I've seen blocks like that before but never understood the purpose.

Thanks for the help.
