If the ground/stone/whatever, that was the bottom of the concrete form was graded in one direction, and then the concrete was then graded the same in the same direction, it will be the same thickness. Keep in mind, also, that the amount of grade for drainage is very slight. So even if the ground under the concrete WAS/IS level, and the concrete was graded, you probably can't tell the difference. Also, if you're just measuring above grade, the ground could have been pushed back against the sides (once you removed the form) and is making it appear to be the same thickness, even though it's not.

Okay, before I close out for the night, let me tell you why my good friend is currently in the loony bin.

So one of his family members calls him, asking for the $60 he owes. He says, sorry, ain't got it. His family member says "well, you better come up with it or I'll kill your sorry ass". So my friend says, "Don't worry, I'll just do that for you".

So then he grabs his hand gun, unclips it, walks outside and fires a shot into the bushes, then hung up the phone. Everyone kept calling him, but he wouldn't answer the dang thing. So guess who shows up pounding on his front door? Yep, the cops followed by the men in white coats. LOL....

Somehow, I can't say I'm surprised. A bit surprised that a family member didn't go over there first though... Then again, someone that threatens to kill a family member should have HIS head examined. Family, you don't have to like them, but you have to love them.

It was too far a drive for the family to come, yeah the cousin or whoever threatened him should be the one locked up... get over $60.00 dude, it's family.

Also, I'm going back to saying it was both leveled and graded, now that I looked up the words and understand them better...
