Got chewed out by an inspector on a slab pour last month and it changed my whole approach
I always thought I was fine with my control joint spacing until this county inspector in Austin told me I was asking for random cracking on a 30x40 slab. He said my 12 foot spacing was too wide for that mix design in the Texas heat. Now I keep every joint at 8 feet max and I haven't had a single call back about cracks since. Anybody else run into inspectors who actually saved them from a headache?

Man, that's rough getting chewed out but it sounds like it worked out for the best! Nothing worse than chasing cracks on a slab you already poured. Glad that inspector woke you up before it became a real problem.
