Concrete Wall Building (Question)

[Angus]

What Storch said.
Oh, but it has to be clean.
If it has fat or paint or something on it, you need to grind/polish (lack the word) the surface.
SAND, yes sand it...
But if it's nice and clean, just put the primer on.
Acrylic Primer.

I'm sure there are oil spots and stains from years of use before we used it..

And for when my dad has spilled things..

a light washing with muriatic acid will lift up most anything on concrete, then hose it off.  but the blue stuff will adhere even if there is oil/stuff on the concrete.  paint is another story though.

I work on peoples houses every day.

Experiance proves to me that the very vast majority of garages are used to store crap in, not cars.

It is the exeption rather then the norm when I come across a house with even a two car garage that actiually gets used to park cars in.

And even then its only 1 car, usually the wifes that gets parked there.
His car remains outside and his half of the garages is usually stuffed with stuff, or converted over into a workshop of sorts or storage area for lawn equipment LOL

I have a two-car garage. Both of our vehicles are parked in it.

Am I wrong people?

Oh boy..

Now this is expanding into a two story addon..



Didn't realize what I was getting myself into...

If your not experienced in building houses...I suggest a contractor. But who know...a 2 story fall is survivable...its just the debris that will kill you.

just remember to have the concrete guys do the floor before the wall.
