Dream Shop

[dabckid]

As promised, they poured the concrete today. An optical illusion but somehow it looks bigger than it did. It will likely shrink again once the walls go up but won't be starting on that until I get back from the Fallout Drags at the end of this month. That should give the concrete plenty of time to cure. Contractor is coming back tomorrow to put the sealer on it.

It is funny, I poured the foundation and thought the shop looked small. Started framing the walls and it felt even smaller. Once all the walls were standing and the sheeting was going up it started to look big finaly.

That is a nice size SC. Any bigger and you would have a long walk looking for that 10mm you laid down somewhere.

Big box. No lid.

Got the walls all sheeted in. We can continue with the little things ... blockers for the studs, wrap the walls, install the windows and the man door, and put up some of the siding but there will be another 10 day delay while we wait for the roof trusses.

Unless you have already put sealer on the concrete floor, do not seal the floor until the roof is on and you have heat in the building.
It traps the moisture in the concrete, will freeze and it will pop the finish off the aggregate. It will look like you beat it with a ball peen hammer all over.

The contractor applied the sealer the day after he poured the concrete. Hopefully I won't have trouble with it.

The work continues.

I thought you should wait until the concrete is cured before putting sealer on

 

[Old Iron]

That looks very sturdy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shop is really looking good! It always makes a big difference when the roof work starts and a more finished look starts taking over...
