Ken,
good advise on the structural beams,on the floor paint I used a product called HOT-TRAX that I got at Lowes'. It is a water based latex but has worked rather well,but concrete needs to cure 60 days. If any moisture is still in concrete and you paint or seal it, moisture is trapped and floor will blister.If you are going to paint floor be sure not to let finishers trowel too smooth or what we call a burnt finish as you have to etch with acid before painting.I choose the cheap paint so I can re-finish it several times for the cost of the epoxy.Good luck with the shop..............J.D.
The only inspectors I have to deal with are my contractor friends coming by and seeing some of their material being used on my shop lol......J.D.
