Default Garage Floor Slope............

OK - I'm hoping that the group can talk me back from the ledge instead of push me over.

I've been traveling for work almost every week. During this time, I'm having my garage built. I had discussed (and really wanted) a nearly level floor with a drain that I could squeegie the water to.

Well, I finally got around to uncovering the floor to look at it today and realized that they put about 3.5" of slope across the 30ft bldg. (about 1% or 1/8" per ft).

I know this is standard practice, but it isn't what I wanted. I keep thinking about the fact that a 10ft shelf is going to be an inch out of level.............

So - - -PLEASE tell me I'm overreacting and that in reality it won't be a big deal! I'm really considering having it busted out and re-poured, but that will be hard to swallow financially.

I really hate not being around when stuff gets done.
