ok here goes!!!!!!!!

you want to build a floating slab

the slab grade should be ABOVE the yard grade ( at least 4") so water will flow away from it that is most important!!

second grade the area so that your slab is 4" thick..... aound the perimiter you need to have it dug out so that the part that supports the walls is thicker..personal I would recomend doubling it to 8" deep and about a foot wide also rent a compactor and USE IT!!! over and over you can't do it enough also when your doing it spray it with water it helps compact..like a piant job the top is only as good as the bottom

third...fiber vs wire vs rebar...personally I would go with the wire but have had great luck with the fiber they add to the crete...also plan to have the floor stress cut so that if it does crack its controled..if you choose wire or rebar use cement bricks to hold the wire/rebar up pulling it with a rake works but then you have no idea if its covered with 1" or 4" of crete a brick is 2" and consistant

if you have any more questions just ask
