The concrete is good in the shop itself but not well supported at the perimeter. In Canada we need a frost wall at the perimeter of a building. That means you have to dig a 4 foot deep trench all the way around, install a wall then back fill. So there is a 1 to 2 foot section of concrete that is sitting on fill. That means over time the fill will settle and the concrete can be suspended or just not well supported. That is the area that broke away ;-( It is easily fixed, I have to slide a 40 foot beam under the lathe to support it, then excavate to expose the frost wall to footing depth. Then remove the concrete under the lathe and pour concrete piles under the lathe and pour a new floor to replace the broken parts already removed. I just have to suck it up and get on with it.</div><div>Hank</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div id="yahoo_quoted_0961869617" class="yahoo_quoted"><div style="font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;color:#26282a;"><div>On Wednesday, July 19, 2017, 6:52:56 PM EDT, Alan James via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div id="yiv8481041887"><html><head></head><div><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"><div id="yiv8481041887yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1500450521667_11179"><span>Hank,</span></div><div id="yiv8481041887yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1500450521667_11164"><span id="yiv8481041887yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1500450521667_11163">sorry to hear about that, what a major pain!</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv8481041887yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1500450521667_11178"><span id="yiv8481041887yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1500450521667_11177">I just found this excerpt from an email I sent you!</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv8481041887yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1500450521667_11180"><span id="yiv8481041887yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1500450521667_11202">"Yikes, that is heavy.
