Finished the specs for the new smokehouse.
Cinder block, per our previous discussion.
Works out to 4550 lbs total on a 100 sq ft slab,

I need the concrete mix specs you promised for the foundation.
Meet me at the "the other place.'

Cinder block? snerk

Standard size CMU's weigh 50+ pounds each. 4550 pounds would add up to
less than 100 CMU's that measure 8x8x16.

If you're placing them on a 100 square foot slab, you're going to have
an awfully low smokehouse, since it would take about 30 CMUs to make up
a single wythe wall that does the perimeter.

And if you're using Loogy as a consultant, well...

Of course, if you're just spoofing here...Loogy's your man/boy.
