Thanks to all of you who jumped in with ideas, suggestions, etc. concerning
my idea for a wood shop floor over gravel. I would prefer concrete but I have
never attempted a concrete slab project. Yes, the base cost of concrete is
only slightly more than wood, but I know I can deal with the wood myself. The
added cost of someone else finishing the slab including the fact that the
concrete would have to be buggyed 100+ feet does make wood considerably less.
I believe it was Keith who said I wouldn't be happy with anything other than
concrete and I respect that. I also did a quick web search for "soil cement"
and found a number of hits on the subject. May want to research it further.
Thanks again, Tom
