Hi All,
Apologies if I'm flogging a dead horse here, but I was hoping for some advice on what I can do to finish off my garage / workshop floor.
I'm just starting off getting my garage converted into a workshop, and I'm planning on getting started by plasterboarding the ceiling, adding some lighting, and painting the walls. The one thing I'm not entirely sure how to approach is the floor.
The floor is tamped concrete and only 3 years old, so it's in good condition, but after trying to clean up after my first project I realised just how much of a nightmare the tamped concrete will be long term as it made it nearly impossible to clear away all of the dust with my shopvac. I have absolutely no experience when it comes to anything involving concrete, so I was wondering what my options are? I'm keen to tackle this first as I'm looking to buy a table saw in the near future, and while my garage is fairly empty (more so thanks to the w***ers that broke into it last week) I thought this would be the best time to do the flooring.
Has any had success flattening out and finishing tamped concrete before? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pax
