How far does it go length wise? Most slabs will crack at some point because as it cures it shrinks, and as they don't put joints in slabs it has to crack rather than slightly open a constructed joint....these are generally non-structural shrinkage cracks. And your shoes are cleaner than mine....! mmm....donuts Homer Simpson 1956- Links: Site Costs Ready Reckoner | H1 Addiction Medical Advice | Château TDL: The Backyard Re: Help...

That is a small one. Better it cracks now than after you lay tiles. ![]() Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Re: Help...
