When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

Good thing he has an open primary, otherwise he would be dragging the case.

I managed to get the grade finished and the vapor barrier down Thursday night for an inspection Friday.

The inspector gave me the green light to pour, so Saturday I got the insulation and wire mesh down, as well as pinning the four corners for my lift:

So, Sunday my buddy and I laid out the radiant heat tubing and got the four zones all tied into the mesh and roughed into the corner:



Monday morning I tidied up the supply and return lines and mounted them:

....and today, my other buddy poured the floor, all eight inches of it; 22 yards:



...and burned it to a smooth finish:

Joe, it looks great. As a retired general contractor of 45 years, many high $  homes and lots of new commercial buildings, and also major owner of a concrete batch plant, I give you an A+. Now I have a couple of ? for you. In your state do they require all electrical outlets and switches to be 4ft off the floor in a garage or shop.  I don't see any insulation behind the OSB, and did you use fiber mess in your concrete. Even though we sold lots of fiber mesh I never was a big believer in it, it is hard to beat rebar.  As  I said it looks great, will be interested in seeing final finish and trim out

Very nice job, Joe.

Thanks Alvin & Rich; in regards to your questions:
1.) Yes, they will be 4 feet up, but more as a matter of convenience.
2.) No insulation, at least not yet. The Advantech was put on the walls with only a couple of screws; this was done to get it out of the way (I got tired of moving it around) as I had gotten a deal on it because the tongue was damaged and I bought the whole lift even though I only needed it for the loft floor. I will be going up at least one more coarse with it after I insulate.
3.)No fiber mesh, just 4000psi with wire.
.....and Rich

4.) I don't know what you are talking about.   :002:

In my last 2 shops, on the walls I went with OSB the 1st 4 ft. up then 4ft. of peg board, then sheet rock to the ceiling. I don't see very well anymore, so it is easy for me to see parts and things hanging then looking for them on the floor or under a bench. In my new shop I put my out lets about 6 ft apart, everyone give me crap on why so many. But you know what I use most of them, and I don't like extention cords laying all over the floor.  The only thing I did wrong on this new shop is I put the corners to close together. It should have bee 20 ft. wider than it is, but I keep telling myself it dosn't take as much heat the way I have it.

I agree with everything Alvin, especially the extra 20 ft., just wasn't in the budget....
