For OldCarGuy...... Here is the thread I referenced in the flooring section regarding my experience with the armorseal for the floor. It sounds like you are happy in the end with your finished product just would've liked to avoid the "extra steps". Anyways, here is the thread I was...

I can't see how this is nothing short of trying to be confrontational and serves no real purpose to say it. Regarding this thread, having just done my floors in early november with the same armorseal products I'll respond with my thoughts. I think the advice of the primer was the only issue...

I would go the 2 post route.......as a matter of fact I will be going the two post route when the time comes. I have the option for both at work but the four post seems too congested and I'm not looking for storage on a lift. Besides, so many of these cars these days the engine drops out the...

Not to question you but you mentioned pulling three 3/0 and a number 4 ground through the 2 inch conduit. If you reference my most recent of five threads here in the gallery titled detached shop photos 5 you'll see that I can relate with you as I pulled three 3/0 and a number 2 ground through...

I can appreciate alot of what you've went through....... I've been doing mine for the past few months and it's alot of work on all ends. It's in the gallery titled Detached Building Photos and there are five different threads numbers one through five that detail it all. Good luck with...

Not to hijack the thread, but ......George (fast orange)......when you say they are not presently ul listed for residential, does that apply if used in a detached garage? I'm curious as to the specifics of "residential".....do you mean how you are zoned? I haven't bought lights for my new shop...

Dave, Those are some kind words.......thanks for the approval. It has been anything but easy or cheap but I'm hoping it's for the long haul meaning we won't have to ever relocate again. I will continue updating with photos as it goes along as I know how much I've enjoyed looking at some of...

Twenty dwarfs took turns doing handstands on the carpet......twenty dwarfs, twenty dwarfs

A shot blast machine is used to rough-up the surface of your floor so that the two part epoxy paint will adhere better ........ which will help it to hold up to abuse over a long period of time. It is another method as compared to acid etching the concrete.... Keith

BMW....... You can check out the armorseal I just put down almost a month ago.....I purposely waited as long as I could until the forecast called for sub-50 weather then I went ahead and did it. It takes a little longer to cure but as long as it's fifty your okay. My sherwin williams...

Thanks for the kind words.....it has basically came out as designed and I am happy with it so far....... regarding the shot blast machine a place in perrysburg, ohio called Jordan's Power Equipment had it for two-fifty a day although I got it on friday and brought it back monday and was charged...

In this photo from my garage on the house, you can see to the left my roll around dorman box.......it is actually sixteen different 4 drawer dorman boxes welded together with a counter top and steel frame below with heavy casters. It was in one of the shops when I worked for Penske years ago and...

In gallery section under one of the five threads I have titled "detached building" you'll find photos of my shop and recent build of it. It has a second story. It is 36 foot wide and I used attic storage trusses that give the upper floor 14 foot width. Main floor is just under 13...

If you look at one of my posts in gallery for "detached building" and pick one of the 5 threads........there are photos of my radiant install......well, a couple. I didn't take many as I was doing an all nighter and pretty tired. Anyways, I bought from radiantec also.......single zone....... I...

Here is photo of one end of the utility lines trenched for the detached shop, I'm almost done with this part. The other photo is of the trench after filling it back in. I used a backhoe with 12 inch bucket, 48 inches deep running 160 psi water line, then natural gas above that and finally a 2...

I'll just add to the list of those nodding in approval......very nice attention to detail. I also agree that a nice, clean shop is not a deterrent from getting work done but a way to allow for effective working......... Granted my last shop wasn't quite that detailed, it was pretty nice and...

As he said, if only doing occasionally go for the less expensive units as he has done. I use to do the chop saw and angle grind method years ago and although it takes longer can be done effectively. Currently I have a more high end unit from Mittler Bros. Machine and Tool from Foristell,MO. I...

Dave, Thanks for the kind words and approval........ Keith

I had no problem at all getting it.......and true to form for what was listed above, they come 4 gallons to a case and when I was done with my floor I had 3 gallons of each left over which is just 1 gallon each short of a case. However, the sherwin williams I dealt with had no problem at all...
