Was told it was R-11 but I'm going to bet it's more like 7 or 8.

After doing some research and looking around at various forms of insulation and DIY kits, I ran into a deal yesterday that was perfect! Local lumber yard had 4 X 8 Foil Sided insulation, $4.95/sheet. Made a template to have each piece be just a little oversized so when in place, it would have a...

Hello from another Arkansan!

Good info Sky! Thanks!!!! Ok so that leads to another question.....if a "pro" does it, what kinda costs am I looking at? I've done some minor searches here locally, and can't find one.

Males perfect sense! Thank you! So the first step, grind the surface Second step, apply coating product Third step, clear. I've yet to figure out which product to use, but it will be a basic light grey, with no flakes, regardless. I'm leaning towards doing one 20x36 section at a time due to...

Fred, first of all THANK YOU! Secondly, should I do the entire area first, or do it in sections? Since I have (3) 20' wide sections, all 36' long, should I do them individually?

So I'm understanding so far, the first step would be to diamond grind the entire surface. Anything special to understand about the first step? - certain machine, RPMs,? - How will I know the surface is ready? - anything else?

Alpha, Is it possible for you to go into greater detail? I'd appreciate the advice.

Thanks for the info! Here's the link to the Garage Gallery thread I posted after I joined. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58298

I'm all ears Banker! The sealer was applied immediately after the concrete cured when we built the shop to give it a "slick" look and it didn't even come close!!!!!!!

It's going to be 8' wide, and 12' long, with 8' walls and a simple pitch roof. Nothing fancy :) Also, we're building the walls and floor inside, because we've had some bad weather lately. Should be completely framed and roof joists on by this weekend with siding and shingles installed shortly...

I've got a 36 x 60 shop that I am dying to coat the floor. Here's the stats. - 7 yrs old - some stains from oil and fluids, etc - no paint, but has concrete sealer applied I dont want to spend thousands of dollars, but want a durable finish. I've only heard "etching" until I joined here, and...

Mustanger, At some point I'll show you the shop I grew up in, and this is a far cry from it. We work out of it almost daily, and on weekends, there's several friends working on multiple projects at any given time. Its always changing and having an addition show up from me or friends. :beer:

Thanks man! :thumbup: I bought the Bronco for my oldest sons 14th birthday. It's a '78 with 8" of lift riding on 40s! Bread truck came from Michigan. WHAT A TRIP that was!!!!!!!!!! 67 Camaro is fixing to get a complete resto. You can't see the VW van, the Z28 and other camaro on the other...

I'm involved in the bass fishing industry and have that one end totally dedicated to that alone. The structure you see being built is a shed (not a ice house/shanty).
