help ricky feel better or slap my head on right

my financing went by the way side for my barn floor concrete and electric . now i am stuck with just gravel for a floor and a generator for a few lights. man i have put my summer on hold waiting for this to get done now **** is backing up and i am in the dirt or stone once i wheel barrell the 20 tons in there. **** makes me want to cry. but i know a lot of you have it way worse than me. so feel free to show me a picture of your ground and give your self a good pat on the back. could be way worse i guess i am going to see metallica saturday. i still have my car and bikes. ricky now puts his fingers on the bench and hands you the mallet........ thank you

 

It happens. Move on and realize that many many cars have been worked on and built in sheds with dirt floors, or loose board floors, or just plain mud when it rains.

 

dont talk about yourself in the third person would be a start....

Have you given any thought to bartering?

 

sell the Metalica tickets and buy 4 sheets of 3/4 in plywood and set the car on it and GET TO WORK ON IT
get off your **** , life is not all recreation

 

do a section at a time..Did this for a friend when he only had a little $$ at a time..we formed out 8x6 areas..(or what ever it came out to) and poured in one finished it..let it cure and pulled the forms, when he had more cash, we poured another one..rinse repeat..took us 2.5 years to get his shop floor in, but its done and it didnt kill us or his check book

yeah and like the guy above me said..go snag 4 pieces of 1/2" plywood..go for it off that for now

 

gravel floor for 9 years still got more dun then most. sold one of my cars to get a floor

 

Level it with the stone and pour tar over it, thats the shed floor my father built his hotrod on.

 

get yourself some cardboard and have at it , when it gets ****ed up , replace it with more cardboard!

 

be carefull southpark ill go tell my buddy.... name a karl he stays down at the nurvous hospital for the most part . he'll go all sling blade on your azzzzz hhhhhhummpppp

 

yup been trying to barter my shovel head for a floor but no one wants to spend money on materials. they would like to take it for the labor but thats not going to happen. hell no one wants to spend the money for a motorcycle right now

 

how big a floor are you talkin'?

Or talk to a local cement company, and find out how often they have left over loads of ready pour, with no where to take it? Maybe you can score a deal by getting it only as 1 and 2 yards at a time.

Or...

Go to your local big box home improvement store, and offer to buy their busted bags of Quickrete and mix up a bunch yourself. I know my local HD sells the busted bags for $5 each.

 

Also, check out the Garage Journal for ideas and stuff. Plenty of us either without cement, shade or both!

 

I started building my shop and when I looked around the only Cement Co available wanted $1600.oo to lay down a '24 x '24 slab. That would have been $1000.oo profit for them so (being poor) I mixed it myself at $1.09 a bag.
I bought bags of cement and poured them myself with an electric mixer. I cut a 24 foot expanse in half and poured 18 inches wide at a time moving across the 12 foot.
I would work from side to side and skreet it. I worked alone,,still do. It took me 3 days to pour 520 bags but the floor was done.
I then moved onto constructing my house,,so far I've poured 1280 bags total.
I just added on a '30 x '40 but that 'll be too big to tackle in a week or so straight. I may do it over several months,, a little here a little there,or I could sell a car and have the truck come out. I don't do loans or credit,,just as it happens to work out.

 

wow! talkin **** and no floor , we should have known your friends were ****in tards!!

 

Or better yet, sell the tickets and buy bags of concrete...and get your *** in gear, like Markzrodz did!
Even if you do one car spot at a time!

 

Now that's the HAMB I used to know...
No sympathy here. Get off your *** and get to work.

Use road base not gravel. It contains dust and can be compacted. Spread it even wet it down and run a Vibraplate over it. Then broom Portland cement over it and lightly water it again. I've done many a Redneck driveways like this. The extra cement gives it a hard shell. It works way better than just gravel and never forget your fridge box to lay on.

 

you should be happy for what you do have. there is a lot of guys on here that have just a driveway to build there car

 

Been there, done that. **** it up. Sell those Metallica tickets and get something started. A shed with a dirt floor is better than no shed at all !!
