I have a two-story workshop/garage(26'X 26')and 2x6 construction. The building is built on a concrete slab approx. 4-6" thick). The walls are sitting on a cinder block curb(8" high). The property has been regraded due to a septic tank being installed and now the floor sits well below grade. Is it possible to pour concrete on top of the existing floor? Grade needs to come up 8"(a lot of concrete). Should I use crushed limestone to reduce cost and weight? Should the cinder block be removed/replaced with concrete or use them as a form? I'm in central Canada/very cold winters. Close to a lake and have a high water table.
