I think the floor drain is the only way to go. The floor drains are not that expense. I ran it across my two overhead doors so when you pull a car in during winter snow will melt and go there. Also I can wash my cars in the winter time.

Sorry I didn't mention that this was new concrete that was power troweled finished.

It took me awhile to decide what company and system to go with like alot of people. There are several companies and alot if info out there. I decided to go with Legacy Industrial. I talked to Scotty several times thru email and over the phone. He was very helpfull and responded very quickly...

Here's the finished building

I'm getting ready to seal my concrete with just a clear sealer and wanted to hear feedback from others that have done it already and seen how its held up to the elements. What sealer? What have you done on it? (Weld, gas oil spills, ect.) Pictures?

Today the poured the apron in front of doors. Also installed the man door. Tomorrow will be the overhead doors and the last of the trim.

Yes, I'm doing metal on the inside. I need to run the electric, gas, water, ect. And insulate then I will put up the metal walls.

So today they cut the concrete, did the wainscoting and finished up the soffits. They set the grates for the floor drain Next week they are going to pour an 3ft apron and install the doors.

Concrete was poured today.

I'm going with 7000 psi concrete with fiber. I contacted several concrete company's and they all said to use the same thing. I guess I misunderstood the contractor I guess. It was a 6 1/2 bag mix.

So it's been a couple days since the last update. Sand has been put down and compacted. They installed the trench floor drain forms and piping. I've been working the last couple of nights putting conduit in to run my electric, gas, water, a/c, drains, phone, and cable. Then I dug the locations...

So today the hauled two truck loads of sand and put two exterior was up. They said Monday or Tuesday we will be pouring cement. I had to leave out of town so my wife took the picture, so it doesn't show much.

Yes, the health Dept. They're in charge of septics and drains. Today they got the ceiling in.

The drain is 3" wide and it has cast iron grates over the top. I think the drain will be around 25 ft long. Thanks jdwilson44

I'm assuming that you used the gloss? Has anyone used the matte finish? I would like to see some pictures of matte because that's what I think I'm going to use.
