Finally got the parking pad and gutters on my new garage this week. Man is concrete expensive!

Sweet, I love the covered porch.

Thanks. I wish I had a coated floor like yours.

Beautiful building.

Concrete-expensive as heck but well worth it. Mine's been done for 15 yrs and other than being dirty is just as solid as the day it was poured.

Looks good . I just got done with more concrete and a 1000 feet of blacktop driveway and 50 x80 blacktop lot in front my shop up north before winter. The concrete was 200 yard here. I started my shop build in 2009 and finally got out of the mud. Now we purchased a lake home in SC/Ga for retirement and need to start all over building a new shop and moving .

I was quoted more for concrete than the whole shed cost.............so Ive gone with blacktop grounds ...you can get a grade they claim has extra bitumen ,and will roll into neat surface --------on a hot day................although I might be better with a grade with larger stones in it,to resist grooving from heavy vehicles.

Be careful what you wish for. In 2006 I had the floor done the first time. In 2021 due to wear from heavy work, it had to be ground off and recoated the second time. This year, due to an issue during the 2021 recoat, I needed to grind and replace the first 50" of each entranceway. If I had to do it over again, I would consider grinding and polishing it. Hindsight is 20 - 20. Looks good now though LOL.

I want to do ground and polished floors in mine but I’d have to do it in stages as I’d have to move a lot of **** out into the enclosed trailer while they are doing the work, or at least grind what you can but you will have to do the polish in stages…..I think I be happy just with sealed floors not epoxy ****.
