The slab was pitched up in the middle and sloping away from the trees. If you had any doubt what tree roots can do to concrete this should put them to rest....

Whoever layed this slab did nothing but set up some forms and pour. No base, No rebar, basically just broke apart as I forked it. This piece was pretty heavy and awkward as the weight was so far out.

This weight was so far out on this piece that it pulled the back wheels just off the ground and held them.

I experimented a little with this one, as I drove the thing would teeter and when the rear wheels touched it would give some directional control /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif In the end I let the front part of the slab back down and adjusted the tilt so it would take just enough weight off the front to regain the steering. I then drug it in reverse over to the bone yard.......
