You might see some Canadian concrete piles popping up NZ.

 Alan,Yes
 it was a concern from the start.  The concrete is good in
 the shop itself but not well supported at the perimeter.
  In Canada we need a frost wall at the perimeter of a
 building.  That means you have to dig a 4 foot deep trench
 all the way around, install a wall then back fill.  So
 there is a 1 to 2 foot section of concrete that is sitting
 on fill.  That means over time the fill will settle and the
 concrete can be suspended or just not well supported.  That
 is the area that broke away ;-(  It is easily fixed, I have
 to slide a 40 foot beam under the lathe to support it, then
 excavate to expose the frost wall to footing depth.  Then
 remove the concrete under the lathe and pour concrete piles
 under the lathe and pour a new floor to replace the broken
 parts already removed.  I just have to suck it up and get
 on with it.Hank

 Hi
 All,I
 spent three days unloading my crazy lathe and rolling it
 into the shop.  It is in and on blocks, but,,, the concrete
 floor failed and is crumbling away under the lathe.  What a
 DRAG!  now I have to support the lathe and remove the
 concrete floor and underpin the the whole area with piles.
  I am not having fun anymore!Hankshould
 have started a stamp collection instead of building a sub
