I am trying to pour a concrete slab floor in a small 10×20′ garage in Brooklyn.
\nIt’s a freestanding 2-car garage, 2 separate conjoined garages. I am renting half of the garage. The other half has a crumbling concrete floor. I’m imagining someone removed the concrete on my side previous to my occupation. <\/p>
The garage isn’t very well built, cinderblock walls and big wood beam rafters.
\nIt seems to be slowly falling apart, a couple of the walls have an ever-so-slight lean, but I think it will be a long while before the structure gives.
It might not sound like a good idea to put money into such a space, but I’m ok with the cost\/benefit analysis.
I know little about building construction, but the cinder block walls don’t seem to be supported by footings or anything. <\/p>
The garage has a dirt floor with a crumbling concrete \u00e2\u20ac\u0153curb\u00e2\u20ac\u009d against the walls along the entire perimeter of the space, presumably for supporting the walls (?). <\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am trying to pour a concrete slab floor in a small 10×20′ garage in Brooklyn.
