Out in the country ... but the slab did have at least a 12" footing all around already. Weather isn't bad here, so we don't have to worry about the ground freezing.

It was nailed I do believe .... my uncle did it, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't screws.

Yes, lol .. when I looked this morning it was all clear but a very few spots that must have been a little thicker ... the garage was only 59 degeres .. so will take a bit longer to dry . but the instructions said as long as it was 50 or above.

Put the clear on tonight .. realy looked freaky going on as it was white .. but it's starting to dry clear now.

Clear coat goes on this afternoon, I'll get some pics up later.

I just did mine .. not with Rustoleum, but Quikrete (similar) ... even if you plan it well, it will probably take longer than you think. I was luck and have a trailer, so all the tool boxes and some other things were wheeled in and locked up. My worst situation was letting the floor dry out...

Well, it's been a long last few days .... in this order I swept the garage, then swept it again ... blew it out with the leaf blower. Then I degreased the floor and rinsed it out, then I used an etching solution on it that came with the Quikrete system and rinsed it and then left it to dry...

You're welcome ... once it's painted it's fine .. it does soak up some paint though, when we rolled the ceiling all the voids and everything were filled, but when it dried some of them became visible again .. but overall it looks great and was alot less than any other kind of wall board.

http://www.texasgarages.com/insulation.htm Just cut it to size, and put it on with double sticky tape .. I could lay my hand against the unprotected metal door and it was ice cold ... with the insulation most of that is kept out. The things I have noticed .. it creaks some as the door goes up...

Behind on the updates ... got the baseboards painted a while back. Then proceeded to have a 30'x20' carport added to the front ... it's been great having it so far. Next is an Epoxy floor over the Thanksgiving Holidays

Big improvement .. with some more lighting and hopefully a light wall color, it should really brighten up the space.

I wasn't able to attend, my friend took that for me .. you might have seen his truck, '69 Chevy

Ironically, my garage does have red white and black in it .. hadn't thought about that till now :lol:

What would you suggest for a floor that would see welding, grinding .. sparks?

Appreciate the comments, but that picture is not my truck, its just one that I drolled over .. the first ones of the cab are though. Were you at the Montgomery Super Chevy show or one up North?

I remember on This Old House them using something like this, to retain air space between the roof and insulation, Attic Baffle

My walls were much too rough to try and tape off an paint (OSB) .. so I bought moulding and painted it (top and bottom black, middle red) and attached to the wall .. worked well. You could do the same with 3 pieces of moulding, half round top and bottom, and a larger moulding in the middle to...

Not sure how thick it was, maybe 7/16 or 1/2 ... I used the cheapest caulk I could get :lol: cause I was getting about 6 tubes of it ... I had a cup of warm water, a small paint brush and my finger to smooth it out ... you can still see the joints, but not as much .. once it was painted I think...

Well, the 55 is mighty short ... I'm pretty sure there will be room to work on it. I have seen people with much smaller garages build vehicles. The silverado has enough room to walk in front of it and behind it with the doors shut .. I'd have loved for it to have been 30 feet deep, but it...

A few better truck/garage pics today with the DigitalSLR ... and no, I don't have anything broken in the 2nd pic :lol:
