No real specific plans other than I'd like to have a 2 post lift. My attached garage already is loaded with cabinets, tools, benches... Maybe I'll put in a tool chest, few cabinets, and build a few work benches eventually. Might also add a wood stove or pellet stove for fun. My attached garage:

Yea, and it was less than 4 hours away from me. The seller was acting a little funny at first though. A little slow to respond. When we finally spoke, he asked if I was really sure I wanted it...Offered to pay my buyer fee and keep the car because he said his kids were really attached. I I...

Yea...We had our share of drama. looking back, the GC/sales guy for the builder we used was just an *******/nutjob. Should have did a background check on him first. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had that many issues. The foundation/slab are still the only things I'm pissed about to this day. Hard...

Yep. Won it on Bring a Trailer. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1990-buick-estate-wagon-7/ Have barely even looked at the car. Definitely needs an oil change. Taking it to get inspected Wed. Will try to get a better look at everything today or tomorrow. Not sure what I want to do with it yet...

Flooring is slotted for mid August. Going to be 13k for 3 coats. Have to do a moisture barrier first because the moisture level is still too high. Will it go down over time? Maybe, but who knows. Going to be $13k total...Definitely more than I wanted to spend, but the contractor is super honest...

Landscape work done. Got all the ruts from the builders filled in and graded around the building better, proper gravel, downspouts buried, and grass seed. $3550 Looks a bit goofy with the mix of paved/gravel. One day we'll get it paved...but it'll probably be years from now. Too expensive.

Picked up this work truck last week. Trimming out the man door now and putting in a dead bolt. Plan to contact the flooring place soon and get on their schedule for early fall..Same with paint. Still waiting on landscapers. Were supposed to come weeks ago... Still telling me mid-July.

Mini splits are in! Slight gap in the wall where the hoses/wiring came though...I'm surprised considering the drywallers made the openings perfect lol Oh well, I will caulk it up with paintable caulk. I plan to really only run them to keep humidity down, especially mid-summer...Don't want...

We have light! Pretty decent brightness. Getting the walls painted I'm sure will help brighten it up even more. I'll tie the chains up higher after the painting is complete. They're on 2 switches, 4 front lights, 4 back lights...I think it would have made more sense for the left and right sides...

Power company came today to hook the line up...but left pretty quickly when the weather started turning bad. For the first time, we put our cars in the garage due to potential hail later today. I think you could fit 6 vehicles inside if they are all small/medium sedans/SUVs. Also, found out the...

So, your slab still wasn't dry enough after 2 years?

The rep said that they just add something extra in if the moisture level is too high...I'm guessing it's a compromise somehow though... How many months did your concrete cure before you did the polyaspartic? Mine is a 6" slab and was poured in early Nov. So, basically been about 6 months now.

So, it would be better to do a Polyurea base coat and Polyaspartic top/clear coat? I'm not familiar with Polyurea and not sure if this company even uses it. I definitely don't want VOC fumes...I mean, that's OK if they fade away after a few weeks, but I don't want anything permenant.

So, what is a normal sq/ft cost for polyaspartic? From what I'm Googling, around $6 sq/ft seems to be the going rate.

Then you might not want to know what this whole build is costing lol... I got another quote and it was about the same.
