More of a milestone progress than a volume progress update. Was finally able to get the last of the concrete poured on Saturday morning. We started in the dark and wrapped up around 12:00 and spent more time waiting for things to tighten up than normal due to the cold temps. Saw cutting was done Sunday morning and I plan on sealing this evening. Based on my math, since I bought the house, I’ve now eclipsed the 5,000 SF mark for new concrete, and I;m sure I’m not quite done. Gutters going up today sometime and I need to hit the interior wiring and loose ends pretty hard this week / weekend. ![http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35640&stc=1](http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35640&stc=1) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35641&stc=1](http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35641&stc=1) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35642&stc=1](http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35642&stc=1) ---

Meh. There are nicer buildings, architecturally speaking, but that is pretty badass. I would like to live in a garage someday. ---

> [@BOBBYGRV](#): > > Do you have stock in concrete? I’m thinking about it. I haven’t done the math but there’s a good chance I now have more concrete than grass…and I still have a couple smaller projects to go. Well, the insulators finally showed up today and got 95% done, and then the whistle blew. 30 more minutes and I think they’d have been finished. Oh well, I don’t sign their paychecks. Drywallers coming in on Saturday morning and once they’re done, I only have the gas line to extend / connect, hanging of the plywood around the lower perimeter, priming and painting, the staircase, interior trim, and just odds and ends. Guess the hard part is really over. Moving all my shit out of my current shop is going to be the real treat. ---

Wrong exterior color apparently. They would’ve never been sold used for a customer so I got them for a felonious price. Win for both of us. The windows in my garage are nicer than the ones in my house…so says the wife. ---

With my place I did all the form work, stone, supplied the wire mesh, compacting, etc. and my guy came and did the pour and finish work. I could hook you up with him and see where it all shakes out. ---

How thick is your slab 4"? Looks like those “pods” are another 3" deep. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/just-another-garage-shop-build-thread/272352.md?page=4) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/just-another-garage-shop-build-thread/272352.md?page=6)
