The finished product...

Two days after it was poured, the new floor has had all of the forms removed, has been sealed, and some of the protective plastic removed from the surrounding equipment.   It will be a month before it is fully cured, and we can start to use the center section to work on our various museum support vehicles.   When that time comes, it will be a very nice change and should allow us to do much more much faster and safer.

On the east side of the shop, the new slab will allow us to create a more permanent place for our tools and the install of a new shop air compressor.

Finally, it was nice to finally have a real use for one of these inside our shop.  I had to borrow this one from our depot!  We continue to look forward to the day we will be able to use it across the entire shop.   We will soon be releasing details on a new fundraiser to help raise the needed additional funds to complete the rest of the floor and our inspection pit in 2011.   Please stop back soon for details...
