It's been a few days now and the slab looks decent but has a bunch of paw prints in it from my German Shepherd. Ya, never thought about the dog walking on it. Dah
It's been covered in plastic due to our weather being so darned hot and I just hadn't looked it over.
Just wondering if you guys have ever used an epoxy coating and if so, is it battery acid resistant? I've been thinking about a good coat on it after maybe a few more weeks of cure time. Would help hide the paw prints also....
I ended up putting a drain against what will be a wall. A channel from one side to the other so all I gotta do is wash towards the wall, which has a slight grade towards it, and let it drain outside into the same grease trap we use for our garage. Easy to get the muck haulers out to pump it dry.
So, on to the walls. I'm not a carpenter by any means, I can't work with wood worth a toot and wonder if you guys have ever heard of wall heat bridging? I've read that metal frame work makes that bridging worse than wood frame work. Before reading about that bridging, I'd already build the recesses into the slab for my r-panel to sit in and seal to the slab. If I go with what Ross had suggested and build cement filled cinder block walls, can those walls be insulated as well or will they be better insulated than a wood wall with 2x6 studs and fiberglass insulation? Also, I've been thinking of leaving all electric and piping out of the walls to help with final room insulation. I know mounting that stuff on the wall in conduit may look primitive but, this little shed will be cooled with a little air conditioning unit which will be run from the RE stuff.
I'm up to what ever we gotta do to do this little shed right the first time.
Thanks for your help again.
