I am thinking about just going with paint and moving on with my new garage floor. Do you have any advice and recommendation of paint? Did you seal it after it was painted? If so what kind? Thanx 6sally6

Shea..read about the TS-210. Sounds like something I could like! One question........could a tint color be added to it? 6sally6

Shea..so I understand better....It's not gonna be possible to get a smooth color on the garage floor(almost like a solid "paint" color) Will all stains be the mottled colors like shown below? (I don't really care for that 6 colors of green look...although the guy did a good job of putting it...

So I don't get confused Steve........were the floors "dyed" or stained? OR.....is there a difference?

Yeah.....me too on all the above. Dusting like when plain old unfinished concrete ALWAYS gets dusty even right after you sweep it. I think its a natural occurance with concrete (SEA-MINT if you live down south!) No fancy/busy acid wash stain just a solid color....maybe red or gray I too am...

Will a clear coat make the floor slippery when wet? How much $$$$ will it cost compared to a clear sealer? Thanx for the quick "bounce-back"! 6sally6

Gonna be building the "always-wanted-a-garage-to-call-my-own" soon and I need an answer to my question. NOT interested in epoxy....race tile......or concrete paint. I have decided to roll on a concrete stain after the concrete cures. It's cheap and won't peel up like paint....and EZ to touch...

I don't know but...............what if you heated the holes with a propane torch? Kinda help the drying process?! Wouldn't that help to cure the holes? 6sally6

'Nuther question..........If I opt for 2 X 6 wall studs vs 2 X 4 studs.........will I lose 2" of floor space all the way around OR will the slab just be poured to accommodate the larger studs? What's the rule? 6sally6

How bout this........Use a sheet of 1/2" plywood. Cut a strip 4" long (height of drawer) Using a home made straight edge to guide your Skil saw....saw a groove the length of 4"strip about 1/2" from the edge. Saw another groove beside that one to make a 1/2" wide (and deep) groove. Cut your...

Thanx for the quick come-back!! Would they be set on 24" centers or closer? 6sally6

How wide........can roof trusses span before a support (in the middle) is needed? 24'? There will be NO second story.... Thanks guys...1st of many questions 6sally6
