I was curious to your opinion on a matter involving a recently poured concrete slab...
We had an 8'x8' slab poured on Monday around noon. Sunday evening the contractor stopped by to lay an insulated(not electric) blanket over the area which I had just cleared. The only thing I know about the mix was that Calcium was added and they used a 'six-bag' rather then 'four-bag' mix. It definately didn't appear to be real runny. I also noticed they did place rebar along the bottom. They formed with standard 2x4's and the drop was no more then 3". They came back that evening around 5pm and put the blanket back on. It remained there until I removed it on Thursday at around 8am.I pushed the little bit of water that was on top(I think it was more likely from precipitation and not so much from the concrete, but I really don't know)off the sides to allow for a little bit of air dry prior to deliver of new spa. I added water to the spa at 5pm. It is currently heating up. The temperature here in SW Ohio has been lows in the teens and highs 21-37 F. The forms are still around the slab, not sure if this is good, bad indifferent. I know I am taking a chance of damaging not only the integrity of the slab but also the structure of the spa if the slab were to give. What would be your overall feeling about my position? Do you think it will probably be fine, or do you think I'm screwed?
