I’ve got a separate thread going for the garage condo, but I’ve got some fresh material to post here. The first serious Rover part in the condo is the original chassis from the yellow NAS 90 now galvanized and waiting for the next overhaul. I’m sweating profusely in this picture because it’s like a million degrees outside with a billion percent humidity on the day when I also unloaded a Penske truck full of shop tools in addition to a chassis.

..to add to the garage info base. After a busy summer and long wait, we got the radiant floor down and will pour next week..finally! I just hope my lift pad dimensions are right.

Now on to research sealers.

it's 2200 Sq ft including the 2nd floor and regarding the radiant, the xtra spend was really negligible in the grand scheme.. and the effencies of ongoing heating costs can't be beat. I'll be heating the 2nd floor with a split and will only help to have a warm base below.

Many of the new builds I'm on are doing this now and is what pushed me along.. as well as rolling around on a frozen pea stone driveway for decades.. I deserve it just for that.. ha

Nice! You can turn the heat up to thin oily/sticky floor messes. Will the concrete above be sufficiently thick to still allow sinking of anchors to hold equipment in place?

its' a 5" slab throughout that I can drill without hitting the pex pipe below (like anchoring a compressor) but the footings for the lift will be at least 8-12" deep with rebar, no pex there.

It's been great to get some insight and ideas from others builds on this thread, cabinets/doors/finishes/utilization etc. so keep the pics comin'!
