    Staining concrete vs Epoxy

    Our Basement staining project was really very easy and inexpensive to do. Based on the clear coat it would never hold up in a garage, but for a basement it is pretty much indestructable. Now our house is fairly new and the floor was just a few years old, I guess this means the concrete was...

    Staining concrete vs Epoxy

    I did acid stain in the basement. The PIC don't do it justice. I bought the lightest color stain from CONCRETEDEPOT.NET and mixed it 2 parts water to 1 part stain. This way I could really control the color, once it is to dark your done, but you can alway make it darker with additional coats...

    Opinions on Sherwin Williams Tile Clad and Rexthane

    I put SW Tile Clad in our kennel. For the most part it has held up well. The one run that has the most active dog in it has a few spots scratched off now after 4 years. I just put epoxy down, no top coat.

    Sherwin Williams Tile-Clad High Solids

    All I can say is we used it in the kennel. It has held up well and still has a nice finish despite some abuse. Was thinking I would continue it out in the garage, but am waiting for the idea to catch up with my pocketbook.

    Quikrete Acid Etching Stain?

    I did Acid Stain in my Basement floor. It was ideal as I have radiant heat in the floors, and my wife breeds dogs, so there are pups around always. I got from ConcreteDepot.net. Real easy to do, and cheap. The Pic doesn't really do it justice but here it is. As I understand it the acid causes...

    VCT tile now done. Looks great!

    I am considering this floor as an option. One concern I have is right adjacent to the garage is the Kennel. Radiant floor supply and return lines run under the garage floor to get to the kennel. This has 2 effects: 1) The garage stays pretty warm, rarely below 55. I question if the builder...

    Between 705 & 1200 SQ/FT I'd love to have a shop that looked like this.

    The Mobil look is great. My dad was a Mobil Executive for 44 years. We had Flying red horse (pegasus) stuff all over when I was a kid. If I knew then what I know now I would collected the stuff to set up a great looking shop.

    Grasshopper's New Home - "The Hangar"

    This is really well done. I would love the have a building of this quality. We have radiant in our kennels and the lower level of our house. It is great. My wife's dogs like it too! I am really curious what kind of boiler you are going to use the drive that 3000' + of Pex tubing. Like I...
