[s-cars] Epoxy garage floor finishing (NAC)

[Taka Mizutani]

Some places are probably a good 1/2 to 1" below the rest of the floor. Not
much cracking, but there is some.

The floor is painted right now, so I would have to deal with that as well.

WTF is mudjacking?

I'm trying to figure out how difficult it would be to remove the ceiling and
utilize the attic space above the garage for additional clearance- then I
might be able to install a lift. Otherwise, I'll have to expand the garage
significantly in order to get full use out of the space.
