*Do a complete search on "Google" or "Bing" for "soil cement".*
*A power tiller and a few bags of cement and you have a usable garage
floor. A friend did a airport hanger floor and it was most usable . . he
had a small "dusting" problem which he solved by spraying on a coat of
"boiled" linseed oil*. *They used the process to build airstrips in Nam and
they build county roads this way in some areas . . (with huge Rotavator
"Tillers")*
