Well I'll be the first to tell you I'm not a concrete guy but I did stay at a holiday in... Oh wait...
Actually I was going off the recommendation of my father who started and sold a couple of concrete companies over the years and was mason before that. Spent of life doing construction etc.
And I miss-wrote.. it was/is #3 (3/8) rebar.
is #2 overkill , probably way overkill but it's looking good and the extra cost down here in TX wasn't that bad really. his opinion on the mesh wasn't bad, just that unless you lay it "just so" it isn't as consistently located within the concrete so why not just lay something that is already flat and easy to work.
Again, I'm not a crete guy so go with what you are comfortable with.
