I like that, did you have any problems getting permits?

Vapor barrier - we use 6 mil with taped seams for our slabs holds up better to wire mesh and pouring than 4 mil. VB is code for Florida with Radon gas and termites. For some industrial pours we use 10mil thickness, not necessary for your needs. Fill, use clean fill under the vapor barrier, sand...

Cave = knuckle dragging neanderthal. I like to think I have evolved more than that, at least to age where beer was invented.

I had the same problem and it was where the concrete finisher dusted in some portland to try and get a better finish since the mud got away from him. You could look into having it ground or shot peened prior for the prep. I hate to cut out concrete.

Here is pics of my garage floor, did it over 14 months ago, the kick stand on my big bike doesn't bother it. I now use half the garage as my home office and the only problem is the wheels on my office chair leaving marks but a mop fixes that. I did the H&C stain with Xylene based clear coat...

About 100K hit from the peak in 2005-2006, sad part I built a house in St Augustine at the wrong time. The really sad part I am a contractor and around here we didn't see it coming. Once the market turns and comes back to reality this place should be worth 300 in about 2-3years. It's a little...

I will even throw in a snow shovel for ya!! Thanks for the kind words about the place, pool temp is right at 80* today since the rain stopped a few days ago.

Long shot, not sure how the moderators take to selling property but it is my dream garage. Selling my prized shop - 1000 sf with Roll Up door 12ft wide x 10ft high Scissor trusses so a 12ft lift will fit, Built in 2002, 100amp circuit from main house, Floor coated with 2 part epoxy needs...

Floating bridge - a minature version of the ones that corps of engineers use in the army. Ramp both sides with platform across the boat portion. When you dont need the ramp you have a party barge. Also it is not permanent so the county won't make you remove it.

Reminds me of a CSI episode

Typing this is my home office shop. My business office is about 30 miles north and I need somewhere to spread out plans (I'm a contractor) and do work. I just built a wall desk and still have to install the pull out table for the printer. Made mine with left over wood from the house and some...

I vote for a Gladiator front end on that Waggy

Franz - you should write that book. I am a General Contractor . I have 2 guys working for me running jobs and my wife doing accounts payables & receivables. One is an ex auto parts asst manager adapted to construction like a duct to water says the temperment of a mechanic and a carpenter arent...

Also, get some of that spray foam to insulate between the sheets, corners, around jambs and window bucks. Either the open cell (white less stiff) or the closed cell (yellow - cant clean off the hands - hardens up). I am just finishing our bathroom remodel and the outside wall is brick with 1x...
