That thought had occurred to me. I'll have to check out the cost, but I like the idea of not sealing off the floor and allowing drainage.

Granted, you'll have a bit of a workout lugging the various bags of fine sand down there, and carrying the paving stones down there, but the advantage is that there would be plenty of drainage through the stones themselves, and, if you wanted to, you can cover it up later on with three quarter inch plywood, and/or lumber, and place other flooring down there, such as parquet flooring, laminate tiling, or any other type of tiling. You would have to use a tamper machine to tamp down the sand, and to wedge the fine sand in between the paving stones, but again, it would be easier to do than concrete, and the best part is, if you've got pretty good depth perception, it's completely doable by a blind man. Just thinking out loud. Smile. Victor [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
