Rebar got finished last night. Wow that is tedious work all the screw piles have rebar tuning threw them. They have to get piping done this morning because the inspector is coming today. I also got confirmation that concrete will be Saturday morning 😁

Sorry Corey. Didn't see this.

lower50's · 10-03-2017, 03:25 PM

So in floor heating pipes where finished Thursday, but due to rain Friday concrete got pushed back to Monday.
But concrete is done!!!!!!! Took 22 yards and is 6" thick. The guys did a great job finishing the floor, nice and smooth but should not be slippery.
I wet it down last night and covered it with plastic, it will help it cure nice and slow.

That's a serious amount of floor space. Heated cement sure sounds nice on a cold winter day in the garage.

OutlawDrifter · 10-03-2017, 03:56 PM

Right on! I treated my floor with a densifier and then hit it with Ghostshield sealer. Seems to work great, so far everything spilled or dripped on the floor just beads up, including brake parts cleaner.

I'll keep that in mind.

**Dan in Pasadena** · 10-03-2017, 05:43 PM

Doesn't look like you finished in crack control joints. You are going to saw cut them in later, right?

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-03-2017, 08:04 PM

Very nice!

stesch_c10 · 10-03-2017, 11:47 PM

looking good. NOW GET THOSE WALLS AND RAFTERS UP!

Nope no crack joints. They said to make the cuts work he would have to cut 3" deep and with the water pipes it's to close. He would rather a natural crack if there is one.

**joedoh** · 10-06-2017, 09:53 AM

always interesting to see the different philosophies on concrete by different builders in different parts of the country.

so awesome. I bet you have stood in the middle and looked around imagining walls

Yes almost every day. lol

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-06-2017, 08:38 PM

Hopefully they can get it all up before it turns to poo up there. At least the concrete is done though!

I was looking at the picture of the concrete and thinking the same. A heated floor is going to be so nice! Possibly nap inducing on a cold winter day.

rusty76 · 10-07-2017, 08:31 AM

Good thing about a heated floor is you won’t have to use your creeper. You’ll just lay under your car, truck is to low. Lol.

99 to Life · 10-08-2017, 01:52 PM

why is this almost as interesting as a truck build!!!!

stesch_c10 · 10-10-2017, 10:04 PM

I hope my GF doesn't come in when I passed out and think I'm dead under the truck with empty beer cans littered around me. LOL

Looks great so far, Floor heated is the way to go. My next Garage will have it.

lower50's · 10-11-2017, 07:54 AM

So this past weekend I got my in floor heating system done. It's a natural gas on demand hot water heater. It's all pressure tested and thermostat turns on the pump. Now I just need some walls to mount it on.
My GF and I had some fun on the pad as well

It was Thanksguiving this past weekend so we had the Fam over and had dinner in the shop... umm on the pad.
