DOBBS FERRY,

The floors getting torn out and a new floor with radiant heat is being put in.Keep up the good work.. A good power wash and that floor may look brand new...
What we’re most likely going to do is zero level a 10x16 patch and the rest will have some pitch. There’s a giant drain in front of my garage to help with drainage, and we’re grading that as well. But for chassis setup I really need to have the floor flat. Especially when it goes on scales to corner balance it.I can see where what you're looking for would definitely cost more. I've never seen flatwork guys use a full width screed board in a 2 car or larger garage. . That whole idea sounds pretty unwieldy. When I wanted to have more precise grade control, they would shoot grades with a laser and put multiple iron pins in the base material, and work the screeds using the pins. Wet concrete is close to pudding, so it can move. And you have to keep screeding/checking in both directions, length and width.
The slabs I've had poured in garages I was concerned with drainage, which isn't going to happen on a flat floor. Keep that trade-off in mind.
And then you have base settling/compaction to worry about and the inevitable cracking & movement of the slab. To sum up - sorta level, easy. Pool table level that is permanent - not so easy Anyone who ever had a basement flood has seen this. Puddles and high spots everywhere on what seems like a flat floor..
Eh. They’re wing west remakes of the 96 skirts I’ve had on the car since ‘01. They’re pretty beat up and old. I’m going to make a more race appropriate set of sideskirts.I sure hope those side skirts are in the "keep pile"
