I knew it wasn't 2"x4" but didn't remember for sure how much smaller. LOL
I know if you figure it 4" thick you are going to have cement left over If you use 2"x4" forms.

If you saw it 2/3 threw you will be cutting your wire or rebare up won't you? You can get some good caulk like MP 1 and use some soapy water and fill the saw marks also so they don't fill up with water or poop or dirt or what ever.

He was talking about cutting that deep when pouring with fiberglass. When we pourin with wire we cut 1/4 of the way through it. It's enough to make it crack where you want...usually.

You'll need 4.5 yards of concrete with Fibermesh. Using 2x4's you're only pouring 3.5 inches which is approx. 4.25 yds. Smooth off slick then VERY LIGHTLY BROOM FINISH.
32x12= 384 divide by 93

Come on guys! You know we gotta show off our smarts! Concrete and dirt are the only things I'm any good at! Don't know nothing about coons or dogs compared to a lot of the guys on this board, but concrete in something I play with everyday! HAHA...It's finally my time to shine...LOL!

To determine how much you'll need for your 32x12 kennel, you'll need to consider the materials and costs for the floor, walls, roof, and any additional features like doors, windows, insulation, and ventilation. Calculate the area for each part, then estimate the cost based on material prices and labor. Make sure to include a buffer for unexpected expenses.
