I am scared to even show these to anyone but I need to to sleep at night.
I used pretty much all my savings to build a 42 x 50 building behind my house. In the long run I hope to be making some money doing side jobs and using it as a personal hobby shop soon. I had the whole thing contracted out and I am already having a huge problem because they did the gutters all wrong and I get water running down my walls in a hard rain. I have been trying for 3 weeks to get that resolved and still have not been able to get the sub out to fix it. Worst case I know what it will takes to fix the walls and it is something I can do myself but I am hoping they are still going to fix it. He keeps saying he will fix it he has just been tied up.
That all being said I might have a much bigger problem that I am sick to my stomach about. I am getting random cracks all over the floor. The poor is about 3 months old now and the building was put up about 2 weeks after it was poured. The slab is 5-5.5" thick with rebar and it was stood up on stands. I don't see any uneven areas but many cracks are wide enough to catch my fingernail in.
Here are a bunch of pictures. I added the penny to get an idea of size. One of the cracks runs pretty much under where one on the legs of where my 2 post lift is going. Someone please put my mind to ease that these are just normal shrink cracks and I don't have a real structual problem.
