Pic 4, those wooden blocks acting as stand-offs for the conduit ... they come out right, with the timber formwork? Did you grout that recess, or is it intended to serve an access function to the conduit?
Great shed, much envy! Is that typical construction, here it would mostly be gal steel structure, timber would be quite rare.

Things are finally over the hill so to speak. Electrical is 90% complete sans the high voltage outlets and lighting.
Floor sealing is up next which should be the last hurdle I have to face before starting the mass exodus of cars and tools into the space.

I do have a wall mounted fan that I'm going to put up before next summer. The friends shop which I've done work at the last several years has one and it's pretty badass. But it also is fairly spendy. The lift is my next big ticket item on the list.
The building was in the mid 30's. I had it done by a guy who does this for a living and I think i'm probably glad I did. On one hand I'm sure I could have figured it out, but it probably would've taken months if not a year longer and at that point what is your time worth.
I'm figuring I'll be close to 40 all said and done with electrical, lighting, dirt work, and plumbing.
I ended up going the way of a densifier followed by a sealer from Legacy Industrial. They are big over on the Garage Journal forums. I think the product should be the most appropriate use of funds. All that being said, for a company that is supposed to touted in customer service, I wasn't impressed. Especially as business owner myself, the difficulty it took to get led the right direction and place my order was too damn high. /endrant
HD37 followed by HD40 are the products specifically.
Here is a thread from another guy over there that spells out the methods. He didn't have to wait a week to apply the HD40, but otherwise this is what I'll be following.

The trucking company that brought in my dirt did my pad for me. They brought in a sand like material for final grading which the shop builder spread out for me. The builder also poured and machine trowled the concrete.
