I have 5 inch thick concrete, with cement stabilization, bagging, and other foundation secrets. Also, how to plumb the foundation and set the re-bar. Its in a new book and accompanying video on KenM's Video Productions. Willing to impart knowledge since half of the building will be a Dojang and workout area. Now, I am not self-promoting, just passing along my Hard Won Wisdom of doing this Dojang and Building. Peace, Big K down in Big T --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.

There is, or was, a company out of Clifton (I think it was), New Jersey that advertised in the the MA mags all the time. This was like 20 years ago... You sent in your measurements, they suggested getting the measurements done at a place that rented tuxes, and they would custom make a dobok to your specification. Did that and ordered a MDK-style trimmed heavyweight dobok. The thing that came back was HUGE! I would have had to been 50 lbs heavier and six inches taller for it to fit. I called to complain. Seems reasonable, right? Pretty soon I received a second custom uniform from them. Same exact huge size as before -and- they charged me again for it. !!! Now I had two of these oversized things and I had two oversized charges on my Visa card. I was stunned. Finally after many phone calls to them (Sir, no one has EVER complained about our uniforms before), calls to Visa (maybe it was still BankAmerica Card back then), letters, etc., they finally agreed to take back the oversized uniforms and reverse the charges. I've only gone for the standard store bought dobok since then.
