If I was starting again from scratch today with a new toolbox stack, I might consider a Kennedy or some of Costco's latest offerings. However, after significant investigation I purchased a Griplatch set about five years ago and have no regrets. If you plan to keep your box for 3-5 years or...

Thanks for the compliments. Actually, I coated my floor 3 years ago this month so I'll take a little field trip to the garage in a minute and let you know if I find any evidence of such damage. Either way, is there a particular make of topcoat you would recommend? I know RustOleum sells a...

I did not use any anti-slip additive of any kind. Our shop floors at work are epoxied without an anti-slip and no one has killed themselves on it yet. So yes, my floor is a bit slippery when wet but we live in the high desert so about the only time the floor is wet is when it rains 3 times a...

Yes, thank you, I do. She is truly amazing. Gladly! :bounce:

You're most welcome. For the application, I used a regular 9" paint roller with a broom-length extension handle and my very gracious wife did the trim by hand with a brush. I applied the epoxy in 4'x4' sections as recommended by the instructions, although I chose not to use the "decorative"...

The epoxy has held up to the jack just fine. With my jackstands, I toss a piece of corrugated cardboard or an old issue of Car Craft under them just to be safe.

I understand your skepticism, and honestly if I had known about the solvent-based EpoxyShield "Professional" or the EpoxyGuard available from Costco for $219 I probably would have used one of those products instead. I could easily be wrong, but I believe I searched Rustoleum's website back when...

Let's see...I did the floor almost 3 years ago now, so I had to talk with my wife (also superb assistant) to remember what we did. The most important thing -- which I know for certain we did -- was follow the directions exactly. After re-reading those directions (which I am now very glad I...

Blake, I've been quite satisfied with the Kobalt compressor, although I currently use it only once or twice a month. It is model #215921 that I purchased for $388 + tax in May 2006. From the research I had done I knew I wanted a belt-driven compressor rather than the noisier and less durable...

Wow guys, I sure wish I had found this website before starting my garage project nearly three years ago now! A whole forum dedicated to the topic of garage flooring -- have I died and gone to heaven? Hmm...what do you think they use on heaven's garage floors? Okay, I digress... Anyhow, I...

Thanks guys for the compliments. The garage itself was a gradual project from July 2005 - August 2006. And of course like any good project it's never truly complete... :) Gladly! Photos of the finished interior are posted in my thread in the Garage Gallery: (click the following link)...

Okay, I'm a new member so I'll throw in my contribution. Just your basic Craftsman Ball-Bearing Griplatch set -- purchased at very good prices thanks to the Craftsman Club. More photos of the finished garage posted in the Garage Gallery.

Hi everyone. I was rather excited when I came across The Garage Journal this weekend as the result of a search on Costco floor jacks. Wish I had known you guys were here two years ago when I was finishing up my garage/shop! I especially would have appreciated the information in your forum on...

Okay, the cabinets are "Platinum Pro" Hanging 2-Door Cabinet Model 41493 originally made by O'Sullivan Industries which has apparently ceased operations but they are now available from http://www.osullivanbysauder.com/ Their product number for this cabinet is 403349 and the following link...

I dunno man. The new Gallardo LP560 looks pretty sweet! :bounce: My wife and I had the privilege of spending 3 weeks in Italy last summer, which included a day for Ferrari, and another day for Lamborghini and Ducati. After visiting their facilities including a tour of both the Murcielago and...

Ah, didn't think to mention that, did I? Thank you for asking! :thumbup: Right now we are parking a Honda Pilot and my 2007 Honda S2000, which is "Rio Pearl Yellow" in color and -- just coincidentally -- matches that yellow accent stripe on the walls. (No, yellow is not my favorite color...

Hello fellow garage & shop enthusiasts, I discovered The Garage Journal this afternoon as the result of a Google search on Costco floor jacks. Very cool! I've always wanted a nice little room of my own in the house and as of a couple years ago I am now very thankful to have one! Here are a...
