Okay after bit more searching, I found at least one thread on the noted site regarding shelf life: http://theoildrop.server101.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=UBB1&Number=863629&Searchpage=2&Main=862528&Words=shelf+life&topic=&Search=true#Post863629

Although I could not find an immediate answer with a quick search on "shelf life", I'm sure this site will answer all your questions: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/

BTW: Sweet rides! Still miss the '69 LeMans Convertible I owned 20 years ago...

Plugging along with the rebuild of my 1985 Swift DB-1. Aircraft Spruce and Jay-Cee Rivet orders arrived Thr/Fri. Picked frame up from powder coater on Fri afternoon. Cleaned up frame holes on Fri night. Applied epoxy and riveted floor Sat night while watching MSU/UNC game (finished up just...

Great use of color / patterns!

Flooring stuff...Whatever you decide, do it right the first time; much easier to set up/apply new vs. retrofit... My regrets: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8210

Re: Quartz Flooring I've only seen two quartz floors; township firehouse and car dealership "drive-in" service area. Firehouse was primarily beige while the car dealership was dark gray. Both were very impressive from an appearance point of view. Not sure how they hold up to heavy items being...

Re: Profile Photos... Previous profile photo (black '82 Reynard FF1600) was my last car. Just updated profile photo with an example of the car I'm currently rebuilding (white '85 Swift DB-1). Here are both again:

Thanks for the tip! We are going to upgrade to one of the Honda "tracked" models. Have a 7 year old Honda single stage "rubber-blade" 621. Great snowblower but there are times (4+ inches of snow) that it's simple not big enough for our current drive (100'+ 2 to 3 car drive).

Very nice! A goal of mine for our "retirement" home (15+ years down the road....) is a garage like you have set up; 3-car below with living space above. This is by far the nicest example of such an arrangment that I have seen! Thanks for the photo's / details!

Hello from another Midland, MI resident!

From what I recall, just the concrete/finish work runs roughly $4.00 sq/ft. For $5000 with the excavation, I would say you got a great deal!

Go Multi-Coat... I have a single coat (barely) 3 1/2 year old ICI epoxy. Painting contractor applied it as his last job for our new home. They did a great job with prep work, but skimped when it came down to the putting a "full" single coat on the floor. They underestimated how much epoxy it...

Whoa! That's a whole lot of concrete! What was the total pour (x*y ft)?

Given all you do with the space, I don't think it's all that bad! Looks real clean. Agree that cabinets would enhance the appearance; hit it all.

Agree with keeping the cans outside if you have that option. Mine is just outside the side door on the slab on which the trailer sits. It's one of those big (75 gal?) types with wheels and an attached, hinged lid designed to be picked up / dumped by an attachment on the garbage truck. Heavy...

Front / Rear Doors… Great idea on the front / rear doors. I had the same arrangement in my last garage (20x20 detached). Previous owner converted the garage from a 1-car to 2-car putting the old single door at the rear. He also poured slab just big enough for his 12' fishing boat. "Flow...

Re: Hey -pru-! Guilty as charged! I've been pointing ApexSpeed garage related threads to this site. The GarageJournal rules! Thanks for the feedback!

Here's a few photo's as of this morning...

Current Project... Here's a photo of my winter project (rebuild of 1985 Swift DB-1): bodwork off / ready for tear down...
