Howdy,
I've thought about it, but won't be doing it. I'll have the floor flat and sloped a little toward the overhead door. Adding a drain introduces complications in where to take the water, and also makes the floor non-flat, which complicates life when used as a shop. When the Garage Mahal gets built and not having a drain irritates me enough, I can always put one of those long skinny grate style drains just in front of the door. Mark |

Mark The Garage Mahal that a friend of mine has uses a channel by the doors so that if water comes in, it runs into the channel which runs into the drain. That way you can keep your floor level for doing alignments. This post has been edited by pknowles: Dec 14 2006, 07:12 PM |
