The Reinforcement Bars are located one foot apart on center in both directions. Half of the Floor was filled with Rhyolite Rocks, which is nearly as Hard as Granite; and the other half was solid Concrete without Rhyolite [pronouced RII-oo-liit — double letters are LONG Sounds]. The Part with the Rocks developed slight Cracks, after all of the Weight was added to the Top; and therefore, it was not a Good Idea to include the "Space-saving Money-saving" large Rocks, even though this Floor rests upon Conglomerate Rock, which is what I call a Poor Man’s Bedrock. Notice the Concrete Form at the left, which is set up for the First Concrete Pillar, which held the Excess Concrete after the Floor was poured, which we completed by Hand.
