Re: Finally...a new shop at the house

Your new building is looking very good! What are the dimensions again?

It's 36'x46'x14'. It's as big as I could fit in that spot. I'm already sure it needs to be bigger.

I'll be pressure washing the floor today & then putting the sealer down tonight (if all goes well).

Re: Finally...a new shop at the house

Well... the lift still isn’t up! Marked the 1st 2 holes on the left tower and drilled the 3/4” hole...only to find out that the 6” pad that I paid for was only 3-3/4” thick!!! So I ended up cutting out a 15’-6” x 5’ hole into the existing floor and dug it down to 14” deep (including digging out an additional + 4” under the existing slab) added 4” of gravel base, plus 100’ of 1/2” rebar. I got the new repair poured this last Friday (4K concrete + added fiberglass reinforcement). 25 days from today...Lift should go up. I’ve been concentrating on working on the electrical and organizing.

The dogleg in the picture is where I ‘absorbed’ an existing crack in the current slab. I’m just trying to make lemons!
