your shop plans look great. when i built my shop in 1984 it was 30 by 30 ft. i`m presently doubling its size. i was a cement mason by trade in 84. heres an idea you might consider. when i poured the original floor i raised the rear of the slab 3 inches and finished it with a hard trowel slick finish. i did the same on the addition i poured last month so now the rear grade is 6 inches higher than the front. its not noticable at all and when washing floor the water runs out without much help. p.s. muratic acid is probably what was used on tccrabs floor. the old saying is that when muratic acid is applied to concrete and it shows a reaction, the concrete is still getting harder every day.
