[Shop-talk] New Garage

[Kent Sullivan]

Be careful with your decision about a crowned floor--this will make any type
of lift except one sunk into the pad pretty much not doable. While a little
bit of angle at the floor doesn't seem like much, it's a lot when a heavy
vehicle is 6 feet in the air.

What I am doing is paving a pad that is 1 foot smaller in each dimension 
of the building.  That way, any snow or water on the vehicles will run to 
the sides and drop into the ground (the pavement is crowned.)

There is also a 65' X 12' driveway to the new building in that paving 
cost.

So does this work when you are putting the building up on a paved pad?
 I have seen these put up before where they basically build the
building, then poured the floor, but not one built on an existing pad.
 Do they cut the pad to put in the posts, or do you have to put
anchors in the pad where the frame/posts are going to go?
