    Haha, true. It was the only picture I could find within the last year where the floor wasn't covered in dirt to make the judgment. It more commonly looks like this until I get really cranky and hose it all out:
    Math is tough. Let's go shopping!

    If you do a lift I would do a 2 post I hated working off a 4 post lift. I can't think of a single advantage to the 4 post from a 2 post

    I can move a 4 post outside for needed room when doing large work, if necessary. You can also store 2 vehicles in 1 bay with a 4 post. I can work on a motorcycle and atv with a 4 post.

    Went to some home improvement show at the merchandise mart, pretty lame.

    One company selling floor coatings. Quoted 550 sq ft. I'm pretty sure he didn't mean 5.50 either. Yeah, nope.

    Thanks again to everyone for the ideas and information to think about.
    Sometimes people trip and fall down stairs.
    Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
    That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.

ID:	74387 I also was told (and did not) seal the concrete. Used the fiber reinforced and had 4'X4' 6" pads with rebar added where the 4 post lift will be. Fun prepping a fiber floor for paint. Wound up using a weed burner and a black scotchbright pad to prep it for paint. I even etched it as well.
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

    That was micro fiber, looked like peach fuzz. Not good for much. Macro fiber looks closer to short strips of yarn, completely encased in the finished concrete. You won't see macro fiber in the finished concrete.

    I used this 5 years ago and it's held up great. I did it myself, it took a bit of prep with grinding and etching, but the actual coating went on in a couple of hours.

    It's a bit thicker than Rustoleum at 9.7mil thick.

    Back when I did it, they didn't have the thicker premium ones at the time.

    The only thing I would've done differently is to put a flexible filler in the expansion joints.

    I'm still undecided on to coat or not on the floor.

    It's poured. 4000 PSI, cut expansion joints this morning.
