    The little one car that could

    Nice job! You are off to a great start. Develop a game plan for the overall space, then just take it one thing at a time. You'll have a great space in no time!

    Can this floor be epoxied?

    Christine - glad to hear you are confident your product can do the job. I like the concept of a kit with the right tools and materials provided in a single package. GGuy - a moisture test is definitely in the plan. Not sure I can actually do it now with temps at home below freezing. Seems like...

    Finished Epoxy Coat!

    Nice job! That makes a world of difference. I'm planning to do mine this coming spring and hope it turns out as nice.

    Reclaiming my 20x28 Garage

    The ultra is an '07. The "brown" bike is actually a cranberry color... must need washed and waxed! Not likely you'd ID it from that photo/angle. Its a 2001 Yamaha Roadstar that I customized. It has a 1940 ford taillight frenched into the rear fender, custom signals, and a sidemount plate...

    Let's See Your Garage Dog

    Here's Belle, my 16 year old Brittany. Hunted grouse, pheasant, and quail over her for years. Many very happy memories! Now arthritis, cataracts, and deafness keep her home and close at my side. The days in the field may be over, but she's still a great companion.

    Can this floor be epoxied?

    Thanks Scott! I took a look at your products and the tech info on the website and was wondering if I could do just that. Might even be able to do the coating if we got a week or two of mild weather during the winter, which is not unheard of in Cinci.

    Reclaiming my 20x28 Garage

    The paint (heck even the unfinished white drywall) made a world of difference over the old brown pegboard and masonite. I will be happy if I never see another sheet of pegboard as long as I live.

    Reclaiming my 20x28 Garage

    From experience - always best to have your own DD on the bench side. I always have the keys for the 'stang in my pocket, but end up doing a scavenger hunt to find the keys to the wife's HHR if I want to move it.

    Reclaiming my 20x28 Garage

    I have a 2007 Chevy HHR and a 2011 Ford Mustang that fit with plenty of room to spare as long as you don't have to open the passenger door on the right hand vehicle. I snuggle the right hand car (ussually the Mustang) against the workbench, and even with the huge doors on it, I have no problem...

    Reclaiming my 20x28 Garage

    I've made a bit more progress. Found some cabinets on CL for $75 bucks and painted them the same red as the wall stripe. Still need to come up with a benchtop... wouldn't you know the base cabinets are 8 ft 2 in long! Kinda eliminates any kind of standard 8 foot long surface material! Also...

    Can this floor be epoxied?

    Thanks for the link Fred... that had to be a real challenge to coat! I guess my floor isn't as bad as I thought. What epoxy primer does Wolverine recommend?

    Can this floor be epoxied?

    Thanks for the info. I'll check out the link and do some more research. The SIKA stuff is what I purchased for the big crack. Maybe not the best thing for the job. Probably not going to try this until spring, unless the products you are suggesting are suitable for use at low temps.

    Can this floor be epoxied?

    I've been working long and hard to turn my garage into a pleasant place to hang out and to work on projects. Its now neat and organized. The one thing I have not yet addressed is the floor. The concrete was probably poured in the early 70's and it had a rough life. The pictures show what I am...

    Drywall walls or ceiling first?

    Typically you do the ceiling first so the wall helps hold up the edge of ceiling. However, its not critical and will work in the opposite order.

    How did you "hide" your breaker panel? Post your pics here.

    Well that's great news... I'm glad to report the subpanel in the house isn't a FPE. Sadly, its a Zinsco. Sometimes ya just can't win...:(

    How did you "hide" your breaker panel? Post your pics here.

    Mine was a mess with "surface run wiring outside the wall cavity and running in front of the header through the ceiling. Here's a before and after picture. As to the "you can't do that" crowd... its mine, so forgive me if I do whatever the hell I please. :)

    Reclaiming my 20x28 Garage

    51, What you don't like my seismic focal point? Me neither! The plan is to grind the concrete at the door so that it will sit flat, knock off the worst of the vertical misaligment of the two sides of the big crack with the grinder, then using filler rod and crack filler, to seal the cracks...
