    Poured slab without garage door recess

    I have no step up like that, and I have no problem with water getting into my garage. As long as your driveway is sloped properly water shouldn't be funneling towards the garage door. That's what I would be making sure was done correctly. Even if you have a 1" step up, if you have enough water...

    Epoxy floor not quite what I had hoped for

    Finished my epoxy floor, it is alright but definitely far from perfect. I had a few general issues, most of which could be blamed on me. There are thick spots on the epoxy that have very noticeable roller spots Quite a few roller marks on the clear coat Quite a few bugs that inevitably got...

    RockSolid Flooring Question

    I'm just a DIY'r too, not an expert.. but... You can acid etch, but you may have to repeat the acid etch a few times until the floor is rough all over. I did it, it was rough, but spots were not. I had to repeat a few times. I also used it quite strong. I noticed the last time I did it that...

    Epoxy floor for just parking cars/ looks

    Parking is one of the worst things you can do to it. Hot tire pickup (tire sticks to the floor and rips off a piece) is one of the biggest concerns. A cheap kit will likely fail this way.

    Switching synthetic back to conventional oil

    Synthetic is not that much more expensive. Also, it has other advantages besides cold startups (which btw, is the most important time for wear). It also doesn't shear and breakdown as much as dino oil.

    Grind my floor 2x, is it enough?!

    I'll take some more pictures of the floor later. I acid etched it earlier with a strong solution of acid, helped a lot, but left a chalky residue. Perhaps, I didn't rinse enough, but I did quite a lot. There were parts that were a bit smooth, so I acid etched it again. I nuetralized with a TSP...

    Things of interest in Denver?

    Oh yeah! I took a tour of the Coors Beer Brewery in Golden, Colarado nearby. It was awesome too! The tour was free and ends in a bar where you get 3 free glasses of whatever beer you want!

    Things of interest in Denver?

    When I visited family in Denver, we had someone that flew helicopters. He took us all up in a 2 seater with open-doors and flew near the mountains. Was pretty awesome. You may look for someone to fly you around in a 2 seater open door helicopter even if you have to pay for it?
