Concrete grooving for passage

grazeaway

Lads one of my cubicle sheds has a very slippy floor (well both are slippy but one has a higher slope) anyway i have been thinking about cutting groves in it to stop the cows from slipping.

Anyone done this? guide line prices or know of anyone that does it in cork?

passage is 45ft long and 8ft wide

We did 2 passages and all "turning areas" in the cow sheds almost 20 years ago. It's worked well since. I have no clue what it cost then but would be pretty irrelevant to now anyway.

That's 54.9m x 11.3m = 640 metres squared. So that's €1.17 a square metre, seems about 1/3 ex Vat of what I've been quoted!

flat out !!

Cool.

can you plug your camera/phone to a computer?
if so plug them in then use the attachment icon on the reply page (looks like a paper clip).
click on the "browse" icon on "Upload File from your Computer" then slect the desired photos from your phone/camera and then click "upload"
