Time to move in

So we have paint Painted the trim

I originally planned to do white on the top, dark grey on the bottom with a blue stripe. Now that the floor is done I think I may do a bright blue in the lower part with a black stripe.

And we have epoxy paint on the floor. At my last house I used Behr garage floor epoxy and it lasted for years. I bought it again for this room. I primed yesterday afternoon, painted the first coat last night and then this morning put on a second coat before work.

I'm a bit sore from that thing. But I still have all my limbs. Lol The Tyclone is naturally aspirated for now. Once I get it back on the street I would like to supercharge it. For now it's just a mild LT1 with all wheel drive.

Everything was going well until the grinder hooked on some material spilled on the floor and sent it through the new wall. Stink!!! The floor looks MUCH better now.

The back corner of the shop, where my room is, was used to paint and refinish wheels by the previous owner. It was a mess. I rented a floor buffer and diamabrush to grind the floor and prepare for epoxy coating.

Bottom color...

Had the gang out helping to paint

Thanks for the tip. Someone else had suggested that and a few months ago I added 2 metal brackets under each step for extra support. I also built a 3x3 platform to the top. In the long term I plan to build a real staircase, but for now I feel better with the metal brackets screwed in.

I looked at buying a place out in Blanchard, then I found this house and couldn't pass it up! I heard bridge creek got a bit windy last spring. Scary

The mud work is done. Walls and ceilings are textured. Next paint, then grand and epoxy the floor.

For my 8' walls, vertical installation created less cuts and joints. For walls over 8' like 9' and up, horizontal installation would be better for smoothing seams and less cuts.

Thanks. We really enjoy it.

Nice view of the garage from air conditioned comfort in the man cave.
