Prayers to Fred. Hope you get well soon

Used to stand Alert at Barksdale on occasion. They still have the Buffs down there. I here what your saying about base housing. Everyone I've ever lived in you couldn't fit anything bigger then a midsize car in the garage. Go with the Race Deck I don't think you'll be sorry. I'd still give them...

I'd give racedeck.com a call and talk to them as they could probably answer any and all questions you have. From what I've read on this site there are a couple of guys that have moved there floors to another site with no major problems encountered. If I had any plans on moving I would go the...

:needpics: Does it slide on the floor.

Thanks for the info. I swept the floor, then vacuumed the floor to get any residual dust, ran my hand over the concrete in various areas with very little dust pulling up. I ran a well rung out mop over the concrete and changed the water out about every 100 sqft. I went out and bought a cheap...

Thanks Shea. I plan on changing out the bucket quite often. Do you think 2 days after doing a light mopping to get the dust out (no heavy saturation of the concrete) should be sufficient dry time to lay down my primer coat of epoxy. Daytime temps over the next 4 days should be in the mid 60's...

Okay grinding is done, filled in my joints today and will regrind the joints tomorrow. I did a dry grind and vacuumed what dust was left over. There is still some light dust in the concrete. Planned on doing a light mop of the concrete to get what's left out. Don't want to power wash it as would...

Thanks, plan on using a 7" grinder with a shroud and diamond cup wheel. Gonna grind tomorrow so I can epoxy next weekend. Thank You sir. I was going back and forth with that paint scheme but finally decided on it and gave it a try. Happy with the way it turned out. Should blend nicely with the...

Well if all goes well you should have a picture of mine by the 24th as plan on rolling epoxy next weekend.

Well got the floor clean. Landed up renting a buffer from HD and used green scrubbing pads with some Zep Citrus degreaser. After scrubbing the floor took the power washer to it to insure it got a real good rinse. I'm glad I rented the buffer, granted it cost me $27 dollars more then if I bought...

Scotty thanks for sharing that info. Seeing as I'll be rolling your epoxy and primer next weekend I'll ask for your advice. What is the minimum temp I should roll the primer and epoxy. Looking at temps for next weekend here in Oklahoma highs will be in the mid 70's and lows in upper 40's. Using...

What do you think would be better cleaning it with some powered laundry soap or TSP. What do you mean by major craters, The floor will be have 7-8 days to dry before epoxying. I was planning on grinding it Saturday, would that be to soon if I plan of scrubbing it tomorrow.

I think that's the way I'm going to go. I have 850 sqft to do and plan on doing grinding Saturday so want to save the elbow for that, what would be the best pad (color) to use. Plus it will only cost me about $25 more then if I was to buy a good scrubbing brush. Sent you an email in regards to...

Sounds good. I was planning on renting a buffer from HD with some scouring pads as don't think my elbow could take using a scrubbing brush for 900sqft of concrete.

Getting ready to grind my concrete before I epoxy. Concrete is a little over a year old and not in bad shape with no major stains. Plan on giving it a good scrubbing with probably some powdered laundry detergent. Just trying to figure if I should do that before or after I grind the concrete.
