There was a big discussion regarding cement here a while back. I have a project coming up that I could use some insight on.
I am buying a pre built Amish shed / barn for my animals. They claim that they can not move it without a floor in place as it would not be rigid enough. The barn is 12 x 32 which will wind up being two 12x12 stalls and an 8 foot breezeway between then with a door on each side of the breezeway. I plan to put it right along the fence line so the breezeway can act as a way into and out of their area.
I have concerns that the floor will not be strong enough to hold a horse, so I have been thinking about prying the floor up once they have it in position and hiring someone to come out and pour cement in the spaces between the floor joists. I was also thinking about putting the plywood back on to make the floor .softer. and .warmer..
Does this sound like a reasonable plan? The barn will be sitting on some extant lawn, and some area that I have just recently leveled out.
