l81c3vette, Congratulations. :thumb

Man, there are some really fine-looking solid axles in this thread. :thumb

Hey. What a great idea. :rotfl I used the old Silverado to begin picking up doors and windows this afternoon. Tammy and Jane Ann........that's a "French" door on the trailer. :naughty: Wanna help me unload it? :D

Dwayne. That's terrible. :ugh

Sounds to me like you've already nailed it. :D

C6 - C1 - C6 - C1 ;)

Excellent idea. Let's see more photos of the back and sides. :upthumbs

Andre, Simple floor drains are no longer permitted in garages around here. However, I have a really nice floor squeegee. :D I'm starting the windows and doors tomorrow...........if the phone doesn't ring. Thanks for the encouragement, everyone.

A vacuum and a wash...........a slap and a tickle.......it's all good. ;) :beer

That's where my highway engineer came in. "Use polypropylene fibre in the concrete, not rod or mesh", he said. "You won't be sorry". :) So, I did. :thumb http://www.elastoplastic.com/ http://www.elastoplastic.com/english/flooring.htm P.S. I found very thick wire mesh in the patio slab...

The cuts are only about 3/4" deep, Mark, whereas the floor is 5" thick. The theory is that if the slab is under stress (now or in the future) hopefully it will crack along one of these cuts. I don't expect that to happen, but at least I've chosen where a crack will occur if it does. :D

In half an hour this morning, Gerry made all four cuts. There are now 9 equal floor sections, each approximately 12' x 12'. :beer After I vacuum it all up, I'll run a bead of clear indoor/outdoor silicone into all the cuts to keep dirt and water out.

Yes, Mark, I did. My largest business client is a major construction company. They brought an expert back from retirement to take on their latest project, and I got talking to him about construction. When he heard that I was pouring a floor inside a foundation, he mentioned that he was the...

The expansion joints are nailed to the wall, and the Celfort polystyrene goes down; taping every seam is to follow.... And, so it begins.... Driver #1.... Driver #2.... The best floor finisher in Southern Ontario -- Gerry Gariantano. :thumb After the initial float.... The...

I do, Mac. All day...........every day. :rotfl Yep. Today was the day. I was out there building forms, at the doors, in the dark, at 5:45am. I didn't have time to get it done last night. EDIT: I set the alarm for 5:00am but got so worried about sleeping in that I woke up at 3:30 and just...

No sump pump, Mark. I built the shop higher than the surrounding ground; 3.5' higher in some places. For water to get in it would have to paddle uphill. :D

Welcome aboard, Kyle. Congratulations on the new acquisition. :beer

I picked up the under-slab insulation this morning. This is what $1,450 worth looks like. :Silly

Seventeen minutes and two seconds of sweet craziness from Iron Butterfly. ;LOL You can have a corner for free, my Jewish friend. In fact, if you bring your equipment, I'll even wear a Yarmulke. :upthumbs

And we're glad to have you. Love the colour of your new acquisition. :beer
