Man, a little jealous of your pace, it took me that long to hang my garage doors

I'm in agreement bigger is better. I built a 30x60 garage last year, this year in process of a 35x60 shop. The shop won't be built out with insulation and heat this year, but I got the space I wanted. If I find it's unreasonable to hear and cool I can divide it off I suppose.

That's awesome man!

Thanks man! You get extra points for being the first comment on the whole thread!

Forgot to update, got the foam down and the slab poured

The good news was the concrete looked night and day different when I got through the troweled finish, so I don't think you'll have an issue knowing when you're there. My floor was very dark, almost black, and the areas after grinding are very light grey

I just finished grinding my garage, and spent nearly 30 hours on it. They power troweled the **** out of it, and it took forever to break through the initial finish. I have another pour coming up, what finish do I want to request so that I can grind it in under a day?

More progress, stone down. Hopefully get it compacted and start laying down some foam tomorrow

Some more progress, some posts up today

I still think you should fill the saw cuts so it doesn't happen again, regardless of which way you address it

I'm in process of filling saw cuts with the legacy extreme set product, I would pull the piece out and fill the with that, and fill the rest of the joint so it doesn't happen again. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than myself will chime in, but that's what I would do with it.

I'm struggling with the same thing right now, so I don't have any experience based feedback. I would at least take a look at https://www.legacyindustrial.net/products/primer-coatings/standard-epoxy-primer-coating.html Also, I love the name!

Got some footings in place

Hey man, CT here as well, welcome!

Got some done yesterday, changed the whole layout. I'll have a door on the left the lift will be directly in front of, and a main entry 12x12 in the middle so the lift doesn't block entry to the shop

Oh man, wish I knew that before! I bought 2 1/2 reclaimed foam, I would have gone for the creteheat for that kind of money! The heat source has yet to be determined, but the concensus seems to be a propane system would be less costly

That's a great point

obviously not running any pex under the 2 post, but I was planning under the 4 post (since I'm not sure where i'll be putting it, and don't have any plans to bolt it down)

The plan is 12" spacing 1/2" pex, i'm going to do a 2 post lift and a 4 post lift, and I'm always buying something heavy (like a diesel skid steer), so I thought 6" would be good at 4000psi. I'm not looking for the shop to ever be "warm", i'll be pretty content at 50 degrees in the winter...

Nice snag!
