    Then, James and I stubbed the plumbing in before the final pour Friday. He used Sonny's backhoe and dug a nearly 42" deep hole, and we stubbed out the first floor toilet in 4", then the drain off that in 3", then a fresh water conduit in 3" pvc as well. got it all in, fairly straight and back filled it. Took about 2.5 hours. I can't thank these guys enough. They've done a fantastic job so far.

    Today, they finished pouring. These are as of about 3:30 pm. they will continue to float the concrete as it firms up. These guys work their asses off. Great group of guys. I've enjoyed this. Wish I would have done this in July. I have my lovely wife to thank for all of this.

    He said I can start moving stuff in next weekend! Yes! No lifts or dyno install yet, as that won't be for 30 days from today, but I can get out of those damned storage units.

    Awesome Mike! Happy you was able to get someone to show up and knock it out. Turned out great! Sucks you had to waste all summer on the other clowns to not show up and finish it.

    Nice!!

    When my new concrete was "cured" at my old 3 car garage, before I put anything on it, I went ahead and used the Floor coating kit from Home Depot. I still etched it with the supplied acid, and it lasted threw many years of use. It never pulled up and it looked great till the last day I moved away.

    How long did you wait before you painted it?
