But I do have A/C
That surface would be pretty frustrating. The concrete guys ended up powertrowling mine until 1 AM as it was cool and damp out. They gave up a little too soon for the finish I wanted.


The AC would have been very nice this summer, especially down your way. While I have that on my wish list, it actually isn’t bad in my shop. Keeping it closed up helps as the concrete doesn’t heat up. And I think the second layer of roofing helps as well since the back half doesn’t heat up like it did before the new roof was added.

Oh, my buddy got his 52 Buick on the road. 6.0 with 2 turbo’s, Fatman front clip and 9” on truck arms all riding on air. We found it in a barn around here 6 years ago this week. Rock solid.
