I gotta go pick up a package at the shoppers, I'll try to bring a camera.
I think the concrete slab idea, even if it was proposed by an "expert" wasn't really well thought out; I don't understand how a block of concrete without rebar is going to be all that strong and if there is soil washout from the watermain break it would seem to me that sinking and shifting of the slab and building would still be a possibility. The concrete slab also wouldn't fix the issues with inadequate beams to support the upper floors as well as other issues with the building.
