Looks good! Should utilize a respirator though, silica is no joke! Also, love the Rosenbauer stuff I don’t live too far from the Rosenbauer plant here in the states. They make awesome machines and know a few people that work there. Cool stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Well, it’s been a heck of a ride to get this floor done. Slab was poured 2 years ago and we put down a cure and seal which ended up kicking my **** trying to get it off. Started with an acid etch because I forgot I put down a cure and seal. Which didn’t work on the areas where the cure and seal...

Upload some pictures so we can understand what’s going on. Also, did you pour the concrete or did a company pour the slab? Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

It’s been extremely fun, it has taken longer and more money than expected. But I’m still not anywhere on where I was quoted for a bare bones job... can’t wait to utilize it this winter. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Thanks! It’s been a fun, can’t wait to get the furnace up and running since it’s all of 10 degrees outside. My guy is waiting on a propane kit for the heater, so hopefully we will get it up and running this week. Then I can start the epoxy floor! Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal...

Update! Got the painting done two weeks ago, gosh I really hate painting. But it’s done... The wifey really wanted an accent wall with all that white I put in there. So I let her, went with a not so traditional grey white paint colors and went with a brown and white. Thinking my trim color...

Multiple quotes that you can compare apples to apples. Especially if your GCing it yourself, you can save a lot of money. But being in the construction industry it seams like a pretty simple thing to get multiple quotes, but a lot of people don’t. Or they get multiple quotes and they can’t be...

Stripped the forms the other day, really happy with how things turned out. Now it won’t be such a muddy/sloppy mess this winter. Don’t mind all the swirls and light colors, that’s the slurry from saw cutting. Had just enough concrete to pour a little slab on the back of the garage, thought I...

THIS is exactly what I’ll be doing doing this weekend to my mother in laws house. Similar style of build, basement windows right at ground level. Except we will be doing to entire perimeter of house. I’ll post some pictures from the weekend, can’t wait to play with the Mini Ex. Sent from my...

It was nice! My dad, myself and two of his co-workers. Same crew as who did my garage slab. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Well we got it all poured last night. It was a good time, everything went smoothly. It was pretty cool outside, about 55 when we started pouring, and dropped to 40 by 9:00. Woke up at 2:00am to poly and blanket it, got down to 32 degrees at 6:00am. Checked on it it 9:00am and the air temp was...

That’s definitely a tough spot to be in. It ***** the vapor barrier didn’t make it into the contract, so I think your stuck there. But if they used 3500psi mix design and the contract said 4000psi (I know you said you called but I would still get your hands on the batch ticket, don’t know why...

This weekend was getting it ready for apron and sidewalk. Brought in 35 tons of material, started getting ready for concrete. Rented a bobcat and tamper, lasers are a wonderful thing in help setting elevation and slope. Tied some rebar yesterday and tonight, pouring Friday. Still lots of work...

Can’t wait for some photos. I’m still torn between the advantage XLT vs the regular. This is my Christmas present :-) Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app
