[QUOTE="Flatlander, post: 7560392, member: 156006"] Firstly go buy a laser level to accurately get your levels. If you intend to pour a foundation block don’t cheap out on size and use the laser to get them as close to perfect in height as possible. If bolting anything to the block leave it to cure long enough. As far as bolting the post to the concrete there are probably brackets available to do that already if you look. When pouring the floor slab the base is very important. Here we are faced with extreme cold but still important to get a hard base to pour onto. 6 inches should be ok with rebar an a foot square grid pattern. I’d go extra on the entrance ways if a tractor is going to be going over it just to be safe. 8 inches for a few feet should do it. As fir the shins it’s more than likely they are to level the posts up fir discrepancies in the footings. Built a shed here and we drilled 24 inch diameter holes where the post were going 4 ft deep. Cleaned the out well and packed the soil in the bottom. They were all drilled accurately. Then the concrete forms were put in the outside edge,rebar across the floor and into holes all in one piece. Concrete poured fir posts and floor all in one piece the built up from the slab using angle plates to secure posts. [/QUOTE]
