I want to see what you guys think about this, you know me, the wheels are always turning... First off, let me be clear as to why I'm posting this, I HATE DOING CONCRETE WORK! The thoughts of doing it are why 2 of my garages still have dirt floors!
I am considering going with concrete blocks (solid) shown here instead:

A quick check with the calculator shows it to be cheaper than pouring concrete. (I think) My rear garage has concrete going all around it's perimeter and I have 2B stone down. I also have a vapor barrier I put under the vehicles. I would use the vapor barrier under the blocks or course.
If I don't get talked out of this idea, can I get away with running a compactor over the existing stone or should these blocks be placed on sand or finer stone?
Ok, you may talk now.
