I hate slabs that crack. I put 1/2 inch rebar in my shop slab, 2 foot on
centers, in each direction. Got some hairline cracks, but that's all.

I would just drop down from the ceiling. But if you do put it in the
slab, it won't weaken it.

It's going to depend on what your local rock is like, how much of it is
"fines". A good question for your slab finisher.

I wish I had put a few of those "chain pots" for hold downs in the area I
do autobody repair. They're about $20 each, get them from Autobody Tool
Mart (do a search for them). I'm going to add some, but I have to dig up
and repour a patch for each one.
