I was all set to order the Garage Pro 8000 combo, but after reading up on the 408-SL combo, it seem like a slam dunk for only $300 more.....

He goes everywhere with me....

Thanks for the replies... I will likely go with 100% solids epoxy

So.... Should I seal before drywall?

The slab was poured 10 days ago. It will be another 3 weeks or so before it is under roof and electric is run... As far as what I am going to put down. Beats the **** out of me. First I was going to acid stain and top with Legacy HD6600. Then decided that I wanted epoxy, then started read...

So the slab is done and framing will start this week. Should I coat the floor before the drywall goes in. Seems to me that sealing the floor before getting covered in mud and dust would be the way to go... I used the search function but did not find an answer. Maybe a primer before drywall...

Went and looked at a garage that was built quite some years ago with very similar elevation issues. It has 10 rows of block to get the slab up to grade. The owner was very happy with the work and had positive feedback about the GC other than he is slow....

As I understand it when you use something like crushed limestone that needs to be compacted, you need to cut shelves or lifts every 8" - 12"... fill and compact lowest with 12" then cover the next 12" with fill and compact that, then cover the next 12" and compact that. You would then be at...

25% down 25% once slab is down 50% on completion.

Split face block, filled with concrete, re-bar both vertical and horizontal. I was thinking of getting them to do 12" block up to the floor level and then switch to three rows of 8" so the floor rest on the block walls. Only concern is if the fill settles, the slab is now tied to the wall and...

Well... GC showed up today on time and we discussed the issue. Told him I was not happy and why. He said he understood and offered me a full refund. Said he would eat the building permit and the what little sight work labor has already happened. Told me that he already ordered the trusses...

He is a GC, has a concrete sub, electric, brick, has his own crew frame and roof.

I got four bids for the work. - 76k (don't ask "friend" of the family) - 32k - 22.8k one I contracted - 20k I choose this guy because he gave me names of folks that used him, which I contacted and also went on site and saw a garage that was being built. I feel that I did my do diligence...

I am in Crestwood. Near Louisville.

Fixed cost per the contract...

So I contract with a guy to build a garage this past January. I give him a deposit and then spend the next three months chasing him down as to when he will start. That said, the weather here in KY has been challenging, but not so bad that several streets over they have put three new houses...

double post... Someone please delete this one.....

it would help to know how the garage is built... stick built or framed for drywall with studs and joists 16" on center...

How about my wife... :) I tell her, "I will always love you but don't necessarily always like you...." She just laughs and give me a peck on the cheek...

contractor says he can order 9' lumber, both osb and 2x4, so there is no waste. I could drop the roof to 4/12 pitch, but I had to fight hand tooth and nail with the HOA to get 5/12 approved. I am pretty sure that 4/12 would not fly... I will ask him about vaulting the trusses, so that I will...
