I can see how it'd be frustrating. btw, i saw you do foundation work. Ive been looking into building a garage on a slab-on-grade but can't figure out how to get the floor of the garage low enough to drive into without doing a course of block. do you just bring the driveway up to the floor instead? There's like a 4 or 8 inch (can't remember) requirement for height of the edge of the slab above grade. that's a tall driveway.
Also, just to note. For a 22'-24' garage, general rule of thumb is 2" pitch.
You should look into Quikrete garage floor paint/sealer. I just got about $150 in materials and I'll be doing my first test job with it this week. Its something we might start doing on the side. Floors come out like marble and are a breeze to clean up. Also something to show off to other motorheads.

Wow even a happy ending??? Holy ****!
I think after all the reading and my personal opinion, I'd say I agreee with Vash. I think the link levnubhin posted of the lady who was on assistance for her whole life but had things most hardworking people dont get to have, is basically the posterchild for Vash's def of "deadbeat". Who can really argue with that?
Some of the things y8's was saying also hold merit, needing to help the society. Its the HOW that needs to be adressed...fishing lessons vs fish, etc..
Aaaaaaaaaanyway, so Vash you do foundations and I basically have 1 foot in the door. And on top of everything you work with your family, and I will likely be doing the same. Would love to pick your brain in detail man, it's something that I've always been exposed to, but never got into. Be great to get some real opinions on the situation...

Yes. If the garage floor is existing you'd want to just bring the driveway up to the slab. If the floor is already there and works, I would recommend just raising the grade of the driveway. Is the existing driveway in good shape? Most guys would probably rip out the driveway, regrade, and repave.
Also, just to note. For a 22'-24' garage, general rule of thumb is 2" pitch.

I'm hoping to do something with the floor too. but first I gotta get the county to move my driveway apron.

My father's been in concrete/foundations for 30+yrs. I'm heavily considering working with him, but am coming from working in an office for 10yrs.
Seeing as you're in the field, workign with you father/bro, etc seems like a good source for collecting some info/opnion/advice.
I'll drop u a pm

truth is, morality is a democratic concept. what "most people" accept as moral IS moral.

ok i'll strike "soul" from my statement. but morality doesn't require religion. in fact one could argue that assigning absolute morality based on the concept of a supreme being is even more arbitrary.
