I can’t recall if you mentioned it already, but what kind of equipment are you using to cool your refrigerated areas? -

My walls, floor and ceiling are filled with 6" of insulation. The coolbot easily maintains temps in the low 30s during hot summer weather. It does a great job of allowing me to cool and age a beef. I chose this as an easier diy option over commercial refrigeration and it seems to be cheaper to run/ maintain.

Deepwoodsbutcher good deal. More progress. You’ll be there before you know it.

Floor drain in today. Prepping the floor for epoxy tomorrow. Making a little progress each day

This next step with the epoxy floor is what I’ve been looking forward to seeing, being able to spray it down if needed will be such a help. It’s really coming along great!

Dave in AZ me too. I’m hopeful that it will be as expected. You can’t beat how easy it is to clean up when you can do a full spray down. I hope to be done with the floor in the next week or so.

Is your epoxy finish supposed to seal out all moisture??

Denny O yes. It’s an industrial rubberized epoxy that is 100% waterproof, flexible and slip resistant.

bocephus right now it drains out on the ground. It has the ability to be drained into a portable gray water tank as well and I have access to a septic hook up at my slaughter site.

Looks to be a good product! -
Here’s a look at the first coat. Waiting a few hours for it to be dry enough for the second coat.
