So very good question. It’s my 3 car garage with two cars parked in there every night and being pulled in out all day. A little darker where the tires roll but not bad. I’d call this “normal traffic” the third car garage is my woodworking workshop. Everything is on wheels although my...

Yep I’ll post the before and after pictures To your point about second guessing your work I think anyone on this board is probably **** enough to nitpick our own garage. Sorta comes with the DIY territory on anything. Nice thing is being able to make slight improvements and touch ups. That...

thank you Shea….I was hoping you would see this post!

Ok so it’s been 4 years since I did all my research on this site (ended up using Armor Poxy) and the floor still looks great I want to say the only reason why it still looks awesome is from all the wonderful helpful tips and comments from the gurus on this site. I spend a painful amount of...

Have the Orbit B-Hve. Think the app could use some UI work, it's not super intuitive but does what it's supposed to do.....not complaining at all and was super cheap with a local rebate we had in southern cal.

honestly love the ikea cabinets. just make sure you get the full extension glides super simple assembly. the trick to ikea stuff is assemble in the ORDER they say in the instructions. yes its obvious where some of the stuff goes together but there's often a reason why "part b" goes in last...

I used the rustoleum product they have at most home depots. worked well and grinds nicely after the fill http://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-24-oz-Concrete-Patch-and-Repair-Kit-301012/206495775

I used 3 rollers. kinda pricey but in perspective of the entire cost of a floor build, it's nothing. Surprisingly I was able to use 1 roller for the entire epoxy coat, the others were used on the primer and topcoat. as for how many gallons, Armorpoxy has a 600sq ft kit. I will say the...

I don't know how to review the Costco shop lights except to say I like them, they cast a bright white light (not cool) but in a garage I think that's better. instant on and like the way they're fairly low profile.....hugging the ceiling fairly tight they seem to be one piece so if the ever go...

OK so after trolling on this site, absorbing all the excellent commentary from all the posters including some of the supporting vendors (callout to Armorpoxy and Scotty from Legacy......Shea as well although I his site is dedicated to information more than product), I thought I provide a...

Wow replies from both Shea and Scotty.....like approval from the United Nations of epoxy floooring!

So I flecked the garage this morning and it looks great although there are a few spots where the distribution is a bit uneven Since I'm appplying two coats of clear, I'm wondering if it seems ok to scatter a little extra fleck around after the first clear coat. I'll still do one more gallon of...

I ground the concrete bare, then degreased, then acid etched....even though the acid step probably wasn't needed. think I just panicked a bit. all the water absorbed just fine. probably a good thing that I was worried because I ended up using my power washer and managed to free up some...

So I've already diamabrushed the entire garage down to bare concrete and my Armorpoxy kit arrived today. So phase 2 is degreasing with Zep concrete degreaser and using the acid that came in the kit. I noticed that AFTER doing these two steps and hosing out the garage, there seems to be areas...

So it turns out that living in Southern California, we have "clean air" laws that keep good companies like Legacy, etc. from shipping their product to me. I can get Epoxy-Coat delivered via Lowes (thinking the two products are fairly similar) although I would prefer to lay down a primer first...
