Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

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 😁

Where in Woodstock is that show going to be

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Sorry Corey. Didn't see this.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

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.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

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

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

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.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Ya I can't wait
I'll keep that in mind.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

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

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Very nice!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

looking good. NOW GET THOSE WALLS AND RAFTERS UP!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

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.
:metal:
Ya I know, winter is coming.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

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

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Yes almost every day. lol

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

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

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

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.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

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.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

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

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

tick tick.. where is the building pictures?

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

youre killing me smalls

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Yes that was a big part depending on weather.
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
Absolutely
I know what you mean.
Don't get me started I am pissed at my builder and gave him $#!T last night.
I know sorry ;)

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

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

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

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.

Nice that you are using the new space already...just think how much fun you will have with walls and a roof.
