Yeah, never set time limits as you will only dissapoint yourself. Something always comes up. All part of the struggle, I mean adventure.

Default Seal that concrete!

Scott,

Before you put ANYTHING on that lovely concrete, consider waiting till its cured then proof coat it with a penetrating concrete sealant. I used liquid Perspex in a previous shed and it worked a treat. Concrete dust was nil, sweeping up and removing oil drops was easy. Gave it two coats to leave a slick slightly gloss finish, so had to take a little care if it got wet, but ended in a much tidier and dust-free shed/work environment.

The shed after that was coated with a so-called concrete paint by the building contractor: it was rubbish, and stripped off just running wheels across it, but too late to give the floor a coat of something better, so I had to live with it.

The most recent shed got a coat of a satin finish water repelling sealant, and that works fine, too.

How many sheds does it take to make a village?

Default The Shed Complex

My wife dubbed the last one at Gunning, NSW, 'The Shed Complex'.... a 40' x 25', a 40' x 20' skillion, and a 40' x 20' shed, all adjacent and with concrete floors and with aprons front and back (to run the forklift around and work outside).

Then we moved to the USA.....

So now I have a modest 30' x 25'.

Always believed that acquiring MVs was one thing, but housing them properly to prevent deterioration while they waited in the resto line was a top priority. But that's just my view....
