We are trying to prepare the 250 sq. ft. concrete floor of what was once an
auto shop (that repaired a few MB's - MB content) for 18 square ceramic
tiles. The concrete is not all that level or smooth. We poured eight bags
of self leveling underlayment on it and improved some areas, made others

I have no idea how rough your floor is, however I've done some pretty rough
floors in the past. I always used a straight edge to identify high and low
spots and troweled on the material. A good straight 2X4 will work nicely to
establish the new smooth floor height. A round corner trowel 24 inches
How about using the compound under some 1/2 wonderboard?

When you lay the tile, use a notch trowel with deep enough notches [ I
prefer square notch pattern] so that you seat the tile for height as you
lay them [use the plastic X spacers for good edge distance also] .
Should end up

This floor has two spots 1/3 room width from one wall that are about 1

I did this recently in my bathroom, which isn't that large but I think I
ran through 2 bags of self leveling stuff over plywood. It might not
have been 50lb bags though, but I think it pretty much filled a 5gal
bucket.
It did not seem to set up that fast, and mixing it with a drill mixer

There aren't many of those left around here - mostly specialty wood for
furniture makers. Lowest and Home Despot have driven the rest out of
business . . .

You need to try a better class of lumberyard.
When I did our kitchen floor, first I tried the so-called self leveling
stuff from Lowes, but it was too thick and didn't flow out, so I had to
trowel it around. I needed a bit more, decided to try the Home Despot
stuff, and it was far superior. I wish I remembered the name.
You want it to be

Must be LevelQuik - they make a fast setting version, sold at Home Despot,
and a slow setting version that you can only get from commercial
distributors - whom I am going to call Monday morning in hopes of scoring
some.

I am getting 8 decent sized red cedar logs from a neighbor who hates the
trees. I need to decide how to have them cut at a local saw mill.
