Before you buy, see what their recommendations are. Some of the design takes uplift into account as well as bearing pressure in the event of weather events. Also see what the manufacturer of the 2 post recommends. Now is the time to get it how you need it to be.

When I played little league ball there was a tryout. You made it or didn't. There was no adding teams so everyone got a uniform. Winning and being successful are hard work. When all of the trophies look the same, there is no motivation to get better.

I am sure it would be extra. Does the building manufacturer have and guidance on the slab?

Thanks for the Intel brief. You must know them to be effective and mass fires at the critical point.

Can you harvest from somewhere else on site? You may be able to come down a little on one end to raise the other. If not check with a couple local haulers and site guys. Ask about a DOT pit.

Great addition.

I would get it to grade before forming. Use 2x8 and put 2 inches of 57 stone in for base. Depending on grade and compaction you may not need much if any fill or sub base.

I have done it. No issues.

Should work. Try to use in lifts of about 4" or so.

Which many can't do.

I have saved time and money at work (Corps of Engineer projects/ one was a tank maintenance bay) on slabs doing a mix with 3-4k strength and adding structural fiber to strengthen the concrete as opposed to rebar. There are issues with rebar like Ken said and they add the fiber at the plant when they mix it and done. I would go with the monolithic placement as you knock it out all at once. The only thing you would need to install is the anchorage for the steel and any rough-in items. Concrete is going to crack and sawing is like telling it where.
Need a roller as the dozer wouldn't achieve uniform compaction. 57 stone would be fine for the base. Not sure what type sub base you have around to select from. Something with some clay as moisture will help with the compaction. How much you need to add on top of existing is based on the site selected.

It is not just you. I just walked my job and found the ceiling guy didn't do what I asked. There are valve marker tags mounted to the ceiling grid to show HVAC valve locations. We are replacing the ceiling and I told him and showed him how to mark the floor and keep the tags. he threw them away with the old grid and said "my bad". Luckily, I only have to replace the tags. I caught it in time to see the valves and mark them. Many people do what is easy for them, not what is right or what they are instructed to do.

Don't need a lot of pressure. I was surprised that the shop vac worked so well. Later I was informed that you didn't want to use much as it could hurt something. Don't recall what.

Last time I had to use a shop vac to pressurize the tank to push fuel through. I must have pumped for an hour before I did that. Once I pushed fuel up with the shop vac, it started right up.

Unfortunately that is your typical uneducated voter. They exist on both sides of the isle only looking at the shiny stuff. Many only hearing/ caring about what they will be given. No concern for real important issues, or even the ability to identify them, at all.

If you are using head mounted NV, a momentary switch for a regular laser is a great help if you can't go IR. Just ensure that you use momentary switch. The IR laser is an awesome killing aid if you can get one.

To aim your weapon you could use a laser.

I will continue to pray for the Lord's comfort and peace that we can't know without Him. Somehow God is being glorified through this. His ways are higher that our own.

Be as realistic as you can. Like Don said. Practice. Train as you will fight if you can. Obviously you cant always wear all of your gear and weaponry while you move through the crowded city, but get as close to it as you can. You said you are getting a PVS14. They work in the rain but with limitations. Train with it. It takes a little getting used to only having 1 eye covered but you will like it for depth perception when you get used to it.

Third that motion. My 16yo son got his license a couple months ago and it is hard to walk around to the other side of the truck. I am surprised the grab handles are still firmly mounted. He does a good job but I defiantly feel the NEED to be in control.
The spread is coming along nicely.

Did the leak get fixed? At the farm yet? Anxious to see you get the demo going.

I had it drilled into me during training that proved itself very useful over the years to never violate the Principles of Patrolling. No matter what you are doing they apply. Planning, Recon, Security, Control, and Common Sense. As Don said, you have to apply these to Your situation, Your circumstances.
You must make an initial plan. Then you will confirm the plan by recon and rehearsal. Bounce the common sense part around just as often as you think about security, which is constantly. Control relates to meeting places, communication, load plans, supplies, transportation assets, routes, ect. This stuff is so specific to Your situation that comments like this are only meant to start the thought process/ planning.
All of these activities are constantly happening, even though you are not thinking about it or don’t call them by these names. Always refine the plan. Everything you see is recon. Always consider security, for movement, for being stationary, while loading supplies, while making a call, etc. Not trying to be directive or all inclusive, just help get the creative juices flowing.

Think of all the red tape cut. All of the government workers in the soup line. That would be a good start.

In some places we blew up the same type stuff during Desert Storm. There was also stupid amounts of US money we found at first along with everything else. The first day we were at the airport in bagdahd. We feasted on exotic animals that were at the palace.

How much were the rotors overlapping? Shouldn't have been a problem as flying is much better than walking. Just don't let the discs get in the defroster like the M&M's in Tommy Boy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkN4bwyY3jM
