    What are ya gonna use on the inner wall to prevent the concrete from leaching in? Fiberglass or an epoxy paint?

    How thick is the floor?

    Outta curiousity, is it an outer wall of your house that it's going in or is it off of a patio or shed? I was wonderin' what the heck ya were thinkin' for a minute, but then I remembered ya live in Southern California, LOL. Heckuva lot warmer there than here...

    Lookin' good so far!
