To beat the coming hard freeze, need to pour concrete floor soon. Expected temps this week are 32 to 50 deg. Anything I should be worried about?

golconda7 Welcome to the DIY Forums.
Best bet would be to call wherever you are ordering concrete from and see what they say. Don't know what mix you are using (4bag/6bag etc) but they can infuse the concrete with an anti-freeze agent. Good luck and post back with your results.

No. You will need to insulate after the pour. The contractor knows this.
