that looks sweet. i bought two side cabinets to make a countertop. hopefully it will come out as nice as yours.

pretty much a little of all of those reasons. although i was contemplating going back tomorrow. i plan to turn those side cabinets into a counter system, and thought maybe i could use a couple more. it really seemed to make the manager's day that i bought so much. and i got 8 free flashlights!

i bought a bunch of the boxes today! pretty psyched 20% off all the sale prices. so cheap!

woo hoo!

actually if u look at the lift manufacturer sites, a lot only require a 4" slab. also, typical wiring for a two post would be a 20 amp 220v circuit.

here's the floor right now: and the gravel outside:

so it sounds like you suggest epoxy and you think it will be able to take the gravel without damage. i guess that's what i would like to hear. my worry was that i would spend a lot of money on epoxy and the gravel would just trash it.

well, this pea sized gravel is predominantly granite and very hard. also since its small a lot of it gets trapped into most car treads. its not just a few stones. it's like 10 grit sandpaper with the weight of a car on it. the regular house garage has some kind of paint or cheap epoxy on it...

what floor do you put in? my 40 x 26 ft garage is almost done. my driveway is pea size gravel. the tire treads always pick up the gravel and bring some inside wedged in their treads. i also live in new england where we get snow/salt etc... what would be the best floor for this scenario...

the 75k mr heater from northern tool was my original plan, but i heard so many good things about the radiant tube, i thought i should pursue it. i think i will have to revisit the mr heater.

my garage is a 40 x 26 x 12 ft sitck built. so floor to ceiling is about 13 ft. it's insulated and drywalled. r19 in the walls and r33 in the ceiling. i got a quote for heat, its basically: 30 ft Re-verber-ray 75k btu propane radiant tube unit installed for $3400, vented through roof etc...

alright, that sounds good too. as you can tell, i know nothing about concrete. right now we jsut built a new garage, and the floor is just polished concrete. not sure what to do with it yet. we were thinking of porcelain tile, down the line, but was thinking about these mats, just in the...

thanks....good to know. i did not know concrete needed to breathe. epoxy lets concrete breathe?

does anybody have any experience with these ? http://www.garagefloor.com/garage-floor-mats.htm

thanks....i have a bunch of them. i'm gonna put them all together in one big time lapse when its all done. here is one of the first 10 days or so:

i'm new here, and just discovered this forum. so here's my build so far: this is a 40 x 26 ft 3 bay garage with a 12 ft ceiling. it's gonna have 3 slightly oversized doors 10 x 10 ft. it's a 6 inch slab. plan is for a two post lift in the center for maintenance, possibly flanked by 4 posts...

this is my first post. i recently only discovered this forum i am in the middle or towards teh end maybe of the construction of my garage. it is a 40 x 26 x 12 ft stick built structure. the ceiling is actually around 13 ft floor to truss. i told the builder i want it really bright...
