I was going to say, they have a round foam expansion joint to put in and caulk over.
The shit they put between wall panels on a pre-cast building, it lasts forever.

about the width of a cigarette. but it had busted up to the size of a softball. every time they ran a cart in their it would bust out wider.

 

[anythingispossible]

I'm not sure what that resin was they used a couple years ago. But it all popped out. And that stuff was expensive, $60 for a little can.

 

[JohnRandle]

Oh, the caulk wouldn't work in there.

 

[anythingispossible]

they had a cement truck there last week. Filling in little holes here and there. Of course they would do it during the week I had off. some of a bitches.

Oh, OK...so it used to be a joint, but now it's basically a pothole. If that's the case, whatever you put in will pop out eventually, unless you chisel it out so that the bottom is wider than the opening.

then I'll need some professional help lol.

That would bust up too, if it grinds together as the seperate slabs move it'll just crumble eventually.

JR how the hell did you get 1000 posts ahead of me. I was within 300.

There's two kinds of concrete in Minnesota, cracked and gonna be cracked..

Must be the weekends, when I get drunk and chatty..;-)

 

[JohnRandle]

Plus I've been getting home earlier these days.

 

[anythingispossible]

when they built the pool. I'm sure they didn't realize everything would be running up the expansion crack.

 

[JohnRandle]

You have a pool at work?
For checking for leaks?

 

[anythingispossible]

what happened to ILike?

Good point. Filling an expansion joint between two concrete slabs pretty much defeats the purpose of having the joint there in the first place. You could chisel it, fill it, then re-cut the joint and put new foam in, but what a pain. It'd be less work to replace the slabs!

 

[JohnRandle]

To practice your underwater welding?;-)

 

[anythingispossible]

check for leaks run the engines checked air-conditioners, generators, raw water systems. They'll use water for cooling.

You could always hire someone to do it..
