What is the name or code of the bottom gray paint you used? I have been testing a few colors and haven't found any I am happy with. I would appreciate it. Thanks

Install the door first, then flooring. You can cut the door casings with a jamb saw for clean tile install. Then put up your base molding. Good luck. Getting ready to do the same in my basement. (also, if it makes you feel any better, I own a tile store and asked some of the installers...

One suggestion. If you ever plan on putting in a lift, I would recommend a higher ceiling height. I built a 28x40 a couple of years back and ended up with 10' ceilings due to rooms above. I am very limited on lifts and also lifting heights. Good luck

Nice build. Following it for a while. Couple of questions, if you don't mind. On your floor. Did you use any sort of anti-slip? How slick is the surface? I used S/W Shield-Crete with no anti-slip and it is very slick. Very tempted to re-do my floor. Also, do you have any pics of the...

I added a garage about 3 yrs ago and pretty much stalled on the finishing. Finally getting around to the inside. Original thread - http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1844 I used Sherwin-Williams Shield-Crete Epoxy last fall. OK results. Hard to get a consistent color and...

I am most likely getting ready to rent an Edco floor grinder w/ diamond cutters. I degreased the floor yesterday. Originally I was going to acid etch and then grind to smooth it out. I had a couple of bad patch jobs. After doing a little bit of reading, it sounds like I can skip the acid...

I ran out of time before the weather change to epoxy my floor. I will now have to wait to spring time. I have one car that leaks a little bit of oil. Until I get a chance to take care of that, I was wondering if the was a large "rubber" mat that I could purchase as a temp solution. Right...

Thanks. I appreciate the compliments. The beam spec are W14x26@39'10" . The beam was only $535, although the center support with the plates welded on was $375. I only have the infloor heat in the garage. The rest of the house is baseboard hotwater/oil furnace. When I hook-up the heated...

Thanks all. The garage is 40' long. I will get the specs on the beam this evening and post them. Unfortunately, no powerball winner here. The idiots at the bank keep lending me money. =)12-14 hour days and doing alot of the grunt work myself. My uncle and cousin did the project for me...

A couple of more pics

Here are some pics of my ongoing project. This was started in Aug 2004. Still working on the garage (along with a lot of other house projects) The garage is 28' x 40'. 10' ceilings. It is set up for floor heat, but not yet hooked up. I am working on getting the floor epoxy done this week...

I finally settled on the paint/epoxy for my garage floor. I had narrowed it down to Rustoleum or Sherwin-Williams. I went with Sherwin-Williams, their Shield-Crete product. It only comes in two colors, pewter or beige. I went with pewter. I was told the Armor Seal doesn't hold up to tire...
