BHT has been said, and proven to work on herpes and help with other diseases. I also would like to know why there is no information in the article for BHT as a cure for many diseases. BHT is a suspected mutagen and carcinogen.
I used to be able to pour the concrete and set the poles by the end of the day, but I don't think the bagged cement available now days will do it. Lately, I pour the foundation, then set the poles in about three of four days, depending on the rain, the more the better.
Re: pole barn concrete slab. Instead of continuing to hijack another thread, I'll start my own. I'm getting prices for a 30x48' pour in my pole barn. Got 2 prices, getting a 3rd. One guy said to box around the poles about 18 away, to not pour the concrete against the poles, and then fill this later with grout. This is to keep movement of the poles away from the slab to prevent cracks.
