    Best $85 I've EVER Spent

    Thanks all. The floors are a bit slippery when wet, but not too bad. It's filling up nicely with tools, cars, boats, pinballs, etc...

    Best $85 I've EVER Spent

    Svend, the "Platonic Solid" guy here. Absolutely an amazing guy. Designed a superb lighting plan for my new shop. Included exactly where to buy, etc. A real home run... Thank you, Svend. I'm very grateful for your guidance & advice. You've made MY shop better. Ed

    Success: Legacy SEC

    Almost done finishing our beautiful new 60X36 shop. We used Legacy SEC sealer. Bottom line: It exceeded our expectations. Application was simple; acid etched the floor, applied two coats with squeegee. The product cured for several days, then we began moving in all my tool chests, shelving...

    What jackshaft garage door opener to get?

    I had four of these in my previous shop, and have two in my new shop. All function well, no unintended openings. I wouldn't worry about it...

    BP Grand-Prix 2-post lift GROUP-BUY thread

    I could use a GP-7. If I buy one on the group buy, can you arrange installation? (Obviously that would be extra $$$) Ed Monroe, WA 98272

    Another new floor coating question...

    Thanks... I'm frankly confused at this point... Already over budget (of course...) and not really thrilled about spending a lot of $$$ on the floor. I know, you get what you pay for.. But I'm hoping I can get a decent finish for under $2500, if I do it myself. I wish I could just have...

    Another new floor coating question...

    My new shop is about 90% done, and I want to "seal" the concrete floor. Last shop I had, I applied a single-stage "epoxy" coating. Two coats. It went over Kemiko acid stain. That epoxy coat was terrible. Scuffed and scratched immediately. Looked really bad. This time, I'm not staining the...

    New Garage, flooring ideas

    I'm about ready to coat my new shop's floor. 36 X 60 Last shop I had built, we used a vendor on here's epoxy. A one-coat deal. It scratched & scuffed terribly. Simply moving the tool chests, equipment, etc., into the garage really mucked it up. Recommendations on a coating (not tile) that...

    2 or 4 post lift and other related questions!

    As you can see, everyone defends what they chose. No surprise there...:dunno: Best advice is from those who have both, and can honestly tell you the differences of each. Or just do the smart move and buy one of each...:thumbup:

    2 or 4 post lift and other related questions!

    In my new shop, I'm having both a 2-post & a 4-post installed. If I could ONLY have one, it would be a 2-post. 100%, no question. There are those who prefer 4-posters, but most folks use them more for just storage. Two-post is by far more usable for actually working on cars. I'm buying a Rotary...

    Zap!

    Time to order doors & openers for my 36' X 60' shop. Will probably go with insulated steel sectionals (need four of them). The door tracks will follow the roof line up, to allow for two lifts inside. In my prior shop, we used the LiftMaster 3800 openers, four of them. Never had a problem...
