concrete floor for sawmill

Fiber up here in TN is 150yard. I had that put under my super70 with no rebar. That was 5 years ago no problems as of yet. My timber frame was poured the same way, fiber with no rebar. I'm sure added steel would never be a bad thing but for our climate going cheaper I don't think will affect anything. Its actually gotten to be common practice up here for concete pours unless its commercial.

Surprisingly, my legs feel better under concrete, with me having a bad knee and artificial hip.  It was weird, it actually took about a week before I felt comfortable walking on a perfectly level surface at the mill.  My body had memorized every little dip and dive in the previous hardpacked surface, every little slant and flat spot and I actually felt a little "land sick" when I started walking on it. 

If you do it yourself, then you can save some serious money.  On the other hand, there is a lot to be said about the "Hand the man a check and tell him to hurry up" method.  I pulled the mill out the day before he arrived, I did the dirt and grade work to save money, they came in the next day, and pretty much it was done.  The green concrete needed a few days to set, so I spent the time washing the mill off, doing PM on it, and stuff like that.
