I'm in the process of getting estimates for a garage slab. The dimensions will be 22' x 24' x 4", with a 1' x 2' footer, and a 6" wide by 8" tall "curb" around the perimeter of three walls. I was told by the estimator that the slab could be poured in such a way that the footer and curb would be formed together, and then the slab proper would be poured inside that. She referred to this as a floating floor. She also informed me that it would be $500 more than the "other" way. I assume the other (and cheaper) way is to pour the footer, then the slab, and then come back and form the curb (?). What is the advantage of the floating floor in a garage, and is it worth the extra expense? Thanks, -Scott

i POSTED THIS IN ELECTRIC, AND i HAVENT HAD ANY LUCK THERE, MAYBE YOU CAN HELP. I'm having a problem with my door openers. They are new this summer, I installed them (replacements). Since they were put in, They both will intermittently not work with one switch device or the other. They both have a wired (indoor) and a wireless (outdoor) transmitter, as well as the car visor transmitters. It doesnt happen every time either. If it doesnt open with the wireless transmitter, then i have to hit the wired trans, and it will open. If it doesnt work with the wired trans, i have to hit the wireless trans and it will open. It is kind of like it has to reset itself with the other transmitter before it will work again. There is also a led light on the wired trans, that will goo out after you press it the first time, then it will come back on obviously after you reset it with the other trans. Any suggestions or advice. They are both Wayne Dalton, model 3012. I have looked at the wiring and it seems fine. This is driving us nuts!! Thanks alot
