I didn't see a flooring forum that dealt with concrete finishing, so I wasn't surew where else to post this. Has anyone had any experience with Elitecrete? I'm considering using this on my basement floor and wanted get some opinions. I've only found one review from a person who used it in their garage, and it didn't work out very well. If there is a more durable epoxy treatment or acid staining, I would be open to suggestions. The area I'm trying to cover is about 800SQ. FT. and will require a lot of prep work as the slab has adhesive and mastic on it. Thank you.

I have a garage with a dirt floor that I would like to turn into concrete, but I need to do it on the cheap as I cannot afford the typical cost right now. I do have about 150 pavers lying around that were giving to me a while ago. The garage floor dimensions are about 18 ft x 14 ft. The paver dimensions are 16 in x 16 in x 2. My idea is to level the dirt, then lay down sand (or would road base be better?), water the sand and compact it. Then lay down the pavers with a little gap between them and then put a thin layer of cement on top to fill in the gaps and give the surface a smooth finish. Would this work? Is there a better way to do this utilizing the free pavers that I have? I also have some concrete wire laying around that I could use but I don't see a good use for it in this scenario. Thanks.
