I am going to pour it in thirds. The area under the loft and out to the small 2 garage doors will be first. That is the area where the car lift is going to be. Under the loft (9' ceilings) will be the work benches, tools, cabinets shelving, wood working stuff, motorcycle lift and stairs to the loft.
The area over by the big doors will be for larger trucks, RV, and so on. It really does not need concrete at the moment so it can wait for a while.I will pour that area a strong 5 inches thick and the rest about 4.
It will actually end up being closer to 65 yards of concrete and here in Atlanta we are arround $100 per yard..between $85 and $100.
So.....$6000 for a floor and $3000 for garage doors.......Its taken me 5 years to get this far on it so that might take a couple more!!!!! I plan to get the doors on it by the end of Aug. and start doing the electrical and plumbing over the winter.
But.....I look at it this way.......$12,000 more dollars will completly finish it.....thats what some idiots pay for a paint job and they have no place to store it!!!!
