I rented an edco grinder with the stones and it did not do the job. I was in the same boat as you. I could not find a place to rent an edco with the diamonds, they all wanted you to buy them at $600+. I ended up having to buy the scarifier inserts for the edco and go over the floor a 2nd time...

I tried the stones on my floor and they are not the correct tool for the job.

I would not take a chance with that. Turn off the pilot overnight. In the morning air out the garage, then light the pilot about 30min before your wife needs to shower.

For the edges I used a 5" hand grinder with a double cup diamond wheel. It takes a while to get the hang of it, then goes pretty fast. To really get the dust off I used an "aqua broom" connected to my power washer. I am not sure I really needed to do it, but when I was done I could have ate off...

Mlynch, I am wondering what you would charge for a 500 sq ft floor. I actually would not have minded paying a bit more to have a pro do my floor. Even double would have been fine, but I could not seem to find anyone to do it that cheap. Before I did my 500 sq ft floor with the Wolverine system...

I just rented an Edco with C-8 stones. It was a total waste of time and money. The scarifiers in the Edco worked better. I got the job done with them, but they were still very slow. If I had to grind a floor again I would not even think about it without the diamond bits. My prep was much harder...

The Liquitile was light grey. The flakes started as 20lbs of a pre-mix called moody granite (white, grey, black) . I then added 5lbs of navy blue to it which gave me a total of 25lbs. At somewhere between 15-20lbs I had a nice even coat so I stopped rather than trying to evenly spread the...

There are no cuts for expansion. I will probably regret that. I do live in a high cost area. Prices to have a contractor just prep the floor were around $1000. Prices to have the floor covered with epoxy from start to finish were $4000-$5000. With no one revealing what products they were using...

Underhand with a bit of sprinkling in those areas that just would not cooperate.

I finally got my floor done. I prepped it almost a month ago but it has rained just about every other day since then. This weekend I finally got my break and it is done. I went with Wolverine brand coatings and I am very happy with the end result as well as the support I received from Eric and...

That is going to be really nice. I had looked into for myself before I decided to go with epoxy but it was $8 - $10 a sq ft for my size garage in my area. Good luck with it.

Most 2 post 7,000-10,000lb lifts don't require more then a 4-6", 3000-4000psi slab. Some people like to add piers but most manufactures don't require them.

Thanks for all of the advice. I used a shop vac, then a leaf blower, then hosed out. I feel pretty good about the way it came out.

The floor is now very rough I am not sure what I could use to wipe it down that would not come apart after a few sq ft. The forcast is for rain on and off for the next 3-4 days so I cannot coat it this weekend anyway. I am going to hose it down real good and hope for good weather next week to...

The scarifier assemblies worked out well but it took almost 6 hours to do 500 sq ft. I had plans to rent the 11hp propane model, but that did not work out. I ended up with a similar version of the machine but it was 110v electric powered. I don't think it was more then 1.5-2hp. The machine was...
