Thanks a lot, I love Mopars! Just something about 'em. And it has been a ton of good work building this one. Nothing wrong with a Honda! I actually drive a Toyota (Tundra) and my wife's got a Honda Accord. They are excellent cars. I think you'll find once you get started that it is not...

Ha! That would have looked "interesting!" Though the car really is red...my camera gets goofy sometimes depending on the light.

Well, my floor is fully cured now and I finally brought the car home from a buddy's storage unit today. I spent evenings over the past week building the work bench and everything, but so far so good on the floor and it really makes the garage very nice. I used Performance Epoxy/Epoxy Coat in...

Welp...here's mine. I'm still moving into the house, but did the floor with Epoxy Coat the day after I closed on it and then built the bench with 4x4 legs (had the shorter side lower at first but did not like it, so that's the reason for the splice) and doubled-up 3/4" plywood for the surface...

I would hold onto those Snap On tools...the older stuff (assuming those are) is way better than the stuff Snap On makes (or imports) now.

I know you didn't ask me, but I just did my floor a couple of weeks ago. It will depend on the temperature as far as how long you have to put the flakes down. I think you could probably do the whole thing and it would be fine to put the flakes down all at once. I put the flakes out after each...

Hey, I resemble that!:beer:

Might want to check out this link before applying the Quikrete stuff http://sweetgaragefloor.com/tag/quikrete-high-gloss-sealer/ Looking at the Quikrete site, they recommend this one for garages which I did not see at Lowes: http://www.quikretecoatings.com/highglossSealer.jsp Just thought I'd...

It's good to go now! I was still able to put a dent in it with a screwdriver a couple of days ago (one week after application), but now you can't even do that. I'm still not sure whether my floor seemed to take a little longer because of the cold temperatures around here or if I actually was a...

Ha! Couldn't have said it better myself. Though my wife usually gets the picture on what kind of mood I'm in right off the bat and hardly ever bugs me if I'm pissed off at something. But I hate "idea fairies." I'll let you know if I want help. I'll add one other thing that really annoys me...

Hey, thanks a lot. I was over there looking at it today, and it is dry enough to walk on, but after PM'ing rugerlady, I think there's a chance I might have gone a little light on the hardener. It doesn't leave marks when you walk on it, but it's still pretty easy to scuff (did a test scuff...

Nice shop and he's probably got enough electronic equipment to phone home to ET's planet. I like his layout and all the outlets he's got, but I personally don't like having that much stuff up on pegboards. Too much organized clutter for my likes. ...although...I guess when you have THAT much...

Yeah, I hate to say it but it's made in china. When given the choice, I try to always buy American made stuff...or really, non-made in china stuff. Kind of hard to do sometimes. But the thing is definitely pretty good quality and was the right price at the right time for me. I went to look...

Dude. That looks great! That clear coat is something else - did it go on pretty easily?

Thanks a lot, man - sure enough - I went over and checked on it today and it is curing, which I was glad to see. Right now it's dry to the touch and just soft enough to where you can make a mark if you really push your fingernail into it. This is at about 40 hours after application. The...

Oh, OK, good info - thanks a lot. I haven't been over there yet today, so we'll see what it's looking like. I'm hoping it'll be good to go with tools and a car on it by Thursday - expecting highs in the 60's here this week. Thanks for the help! BTW, Hot Springs, AR is a nice place...went...

At my local Napa (here in NM), they have the heavy duty floor jack and jack stand set on sale through the end of March...link is below (though it says nothing about a sale). The normal price for the set is $405, and the normal price for the jack by itself is $399 (which is not on sale). But...

Making stupid mistakes or taking way too long to do something when I keep working on my car while tired.

Man, Frogday, you've got some of the best looking floors I think I've ever seen sober. They really turned out nicely - I just finished mine and am waiting on them to cure right now, but seeing yours really makes me wish I would have bought extra flakes and gone a lot heavier with them. And the...

The lighting was terrible and I didn't take the time to change the settings in my camera - but I would describe the color as a light khaki green-ish/gray-ish color and it looks pretty sharp in person. The tan would have been my second choice. When I go check on it tomorrow, I'll see if I can...
