I like how the doors worked out. No leaves blowing in, no water forcing its way under the door, and there's extra support on the bottom during high winds. I used concrete acid stain on the floor. Didn't exactly turn out how I was imagining it, but I think it ended up looking pretty good. Just...

You've seen the before, so how about some progress/after pictures. Pretty much disregarded everyone's advice.. If I ever need something over built, I know where to come. Will the cracks show through? Probably at some point in its life. But it won't be looking like it used to anytime soon...

I've been through 5 hurricanes now and have only seen that much water (2") in there once, and that was a hell of a rainstorm. Typically it just pools in from the front doors and very slowly streams its way to the back. Yes, if I do it the way I'm planning, a 100-year storm can come through and...
