It is best to keep the pad separated from the building foundation. If they are connected vibrations from the condenser unit will travel into the building and increase the noise level heard inside.

Suggest tamping down the soil before adding the sand. I always pick the rocks out of the spoils and throw them back in before tamping. Then a little sand on top of that. The slab doesn't have to be flush with grade. Some drain advantages to be a little higher.

Why rebar for such a small pad and relatively light use?

Dont forget an expansion joint between the wall and the pad!

Cant understand why you didnt just dump the wheel barrow instead of shoveling crete out? It was right there, perfect position. And Rebar is never a bad thing

[mikakey]

But did you ever remove the cat turds?

[johnbarrett]

use 2 inches of 1/2 or 1" gravel under the pad. Yes really.

[shannonhann]

Rebar seemed to be a waste of money for such a small and light use of the pad.

[johnbarrett]

make it higher off the ground next time. Yes really.
