Not a "bad pour" thread

[Marvin Berry]

In the process of building a garage, and the floor was poured last week. The floor in these pics is completely dry. Contractor warned me that it will be slippery.

Looks like a LARGE garage. Just what size is it? Are you building it yourself with friends or did you hire a company to do it?

28x32. We're converting our existing garage into living space for my mother in law, so this is the replacement. We're having contractors do it.

Wow, get a shop cam, there will be some hilarious falls and stuff and you can post them.

Seriously, did you ask for this finish, I have never seen anything this shiney.

This is new to me. I actually like it, after having to deal with uneven, lumpy, cracked garage and basement floors for the past 20 years. I figure I can put down floor mats and eventually finish the floor. When I finish it, I can always add texture. Much easier and cheaper to add that, than to have to smooth/level/repair a rough floor. I'm happy so far.

You'll need to roughen or etch the surface on that pour if you expect any concrete finish to adhere properly.

I doubt it will look like that after the framers have finished.
