That is hilarious. I just figured it out for my garage and the tile would cost $76. Depending on the size of your garage, you will spend more on thinset and grout than the tiles. I will leave the PEI rating debate to the tile professionals. From what I have read, 4 or 5 is the way to go for...

Is the $1200 just the labor? If so, I would just do it yourself. You can get the majority of the work done with a $30 to $40 cutter from Home Depot. Then if you need a wet saw, wait to the last day and rent one from Home Depot. Or just keep your design simple and you will not need the wet...

Don't be cheap like me. I thought I could get buy with $400 worth of Rock Solid and now I am planning on stripping it entirely off this weekend (864 Square Feet). For me the number should have been $1300 or so for a decent epoxy system. Watch for me posting some pictures of the stripping and...

That is some good info on using the mastic tool first. The rep at Home Depot showed me the Concrete Prep Plus tool that is sort of new for them. It is supposed to be able to remove coatings as well as grind. Does anybody have real world experience with this model from diamabrush...

I just put the Rock Solid Polyurea coating (color tint added to the bag and then shake) this weekend. I applied the base coat as directed and than added the color chips. No additional clear coat was added, as the clear in the mix was plenty of shine for my tastes. At first the installation...
