How thick is the concrete slab? Did you make it any thicker or add any extra rebar where the lifts will go, especially the two post lift?

When they poured the floor for my back garage, they added fiberglass strands to the concrete mix, they said that way they didn't need rebar across the whole thing. There's still bars around the edge in the footing. He also poured it so the edge was about 4" above the floor, so the walls sit up, and you can hose it out without worrying about getting the bottom of the walls all wet.

The inspector almost made me tear up my slab. He said the new code was two 8 foot grounding rods at least 8 feet apart, and tied into the rebar in the slab. He let it slide since that rule was so new (garage is now 8 years old or so), and I just have one grounding rod like we've always done.
