Re: [MBZ] Andrew's shed
For future construction, I would like to recommend that you look at using a coloring agent for the concrete pad. The concrete is then the same color throughout the entire pour, No paint to flake or chip in the future. At the proper time in the concrete cure cycle, use a concrete sealer, which goes on looking milky, but is absorbed into the pores of the concrete and very nicely resists stains and discolorations which happen to bare unsealed concrete. Cost of sealer is generally much less than paint, certainly much less than epoxy, and gives the concrete a "finished look" when used over colored concrete. The color agent used to make colored concrete is usually a powder additive to the concrete, much the consistancy of tile grout material. There is a pretty decent range of colors to choose from also.

Re: [MBZ] Andrew's shed
It's a simple 10 x 14 shed, not a garage.

The one we have now is one of those flimsy steel bolt together things and has no ready means of attaching shelving etc. I plan to make it in panels that will bolt together in case I ever decide to remove it from the property.

Re: [MBZ] Andrew's shed
I build sheds with .60 treated lumber for foundations (ground contact) 2 x 6 joists and 3/4" plywood for the floors. Last for a long time and termites/carpenter ants won't eat the .060 wood. No concrete truck/concrete finishers/floats/power trowel/forms required.

Re: [MBZ] Andrew's shed
Perhaps Andrew's "shed" is really a garage?
