I just re-read the whole thread last night looking for what you did on the floors, which is nothing, correct?
The mason sprayed whatever sealer they use these days on it. I forget the name but both masons that I had quote the job used the same stuff. It was like $250 in product to do the whole thing, i think he charged me $25 to apply it with a pump sprayer.

Quality sealer is key
A couple weeks ago I decided randomly that I wanted to try and finish the walls at the top of the stairs since I havent done much to the shop in a while.
This is how it was.
Insulated (yes I did it all, just didnt get a pic done) And added an outlet near the window as sometimes Ill put a box fan in there to get dust or heat out.
My sketchy setup to get out over the stairs.
Sheeted - added an access panel to the attic area. I still need to insulate and sheet the section at the back of the stairs, but I was out of materials and time for now.
Primed with Kilz. Managed two coats from the corner to the window, the rest is just one.
Its really not much different but at least its one step closer to done. Next I need to tackle the ceiling which is still just wide open. But its prob gona cost a grand so its going to have to wait a bit.

Finally got some decent shelving.
Found a pile of 36x72 (6ft tall) keystone racking (like 2000lb rated) on CL for $300. I priced what I got out from Global Industrial as they still sell it… $1900 wooof.
I wanted it taller, so I cut a few of the uprights in half and bolted them together with some 3/4" 1/8wall square tube, and re-positioned the diagonal bracing to create some 9ft tall sections.
Bolted together with matching M8 hardware and square nuts.
Made a smaller section so i could have room for my folding tables, ez up etc.
scored 12 9x2ft 5/8 plywood sheets from a guy in webster who owns a bleacher company for $100. These were off some old bleachers he removed.
Cut them up into 2x3 sections for the shelves.
Turned this.

I still need to organize my metal stock, but that will have to wait. It will be located at the end of the shelving near the half wall for easy access in the fab area the other side of the wall.
