Would it be ok to store and use a blast cabinet in an unheated shed? Shop floor space is scarce and i seldom use a blast cabinet, i have a shed directly behind my shop.

i've an old garage i want to fix up. it's got a crack free but very wavy floor. it's not even close to flat:willy_nil. my concrete guy says he can pour over it with a barrier between the two slabs. the new slab will be a minimum of 4" thick. does this sound right? the guy has many years of...
