OK I JUST RENTED A NEW house. And the 1.5 car garage floor has got big potholes in it. Can I skim it over it. I need a smoth floor and cheap. I am renting this. but stuck here for a couple of years. and am working on my bikes in it. thanks

you can skim it if you prep it well. Use a grinder to rough up the surfaces you want to skim. Then drill into the slab and set small pieces of wire mesh or bar to help hold the patch to the slab. Then you can pour and screed followed by finish.

Get some picts up, then we can gauge how much you need.

Define the space as a given shape. For a slab measure the maximum length, width and depth of the hole to determine the volume (W x L x D). Enter those values into the concrete calculator: http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=calcConcretePad to determine the number of bags in 80 lb, 60 l b, and 40 lb bags.

that link helped the deepest hole is three in the size of a basket ball and the current floor has "t d 1961" in it so it is old
