Sheeewwwwweee...400Amps? Good lord. The power company is doing a calculation on it to see if the 200 I have is adequate but I hope I gave them all the right information. The heatpumps I'm using will be split ductless systems with 18seer efficiency and they're only drawing around 15amps (each) with both the indoor and outdoor units (230v).

I have a friend in the flooring business so the epoxy will come once the slab has matured. Good tip on the sandblasting - I have a large pot blaster so that should go pretty quickly....but good lord - the cleanup after sandblasting 864 sq feet of concrete would be a nightmare!
