Can I get this done in a weekend?

Just wondering how long you guys think it takes for one guy to do 1000 square feet? I think I've got the garage emptied enough where I could drag what's left out in about an hour, but I don't know how long to plan on everything taking. Should I plan on prep (grinding) taking one day and the floor coating the next (looking at a polyurea right now)? The garage floor was poured about six months ago.

If I've got to span multiple days, will dragging everything (toolboxes, jacks, car parts, shelves) back in on top of a freshly ground floor cause any problems when you do the paint/epoxy/etc the next day?

Also, any concerns with fibermesh in the concrete when grinding or prior to coating?

Grinding can take a few hours or it can take all day, depends on your floor and the grinder.
Our polyurea can be applied all in one day and you can start bringing in your goods the next.

Limit traffic post grinding. You can easily contaminate the surface with dirt, oil, etc...
Lay down cardboard or craft paper if you have to.

Two days to apply , including prep, Nohr-S is not what I would call a rush job. It's a normal job.

Can it be done in a weekend. You bet. BUT

It has been my experience on everything from rush orders to rush projects that what can go wrong will go wrong when you try and rush and often things that are rushed take more time than they would have if you would have taken your time in the first place.

My recommendation is to take your time. As Justin said, rushing leads to careless mistakes will cost more time and money. That being said, if it is done right, I doubt you can finish it in one weekend. Good luck either way.

Guess I've got to consider doing it in two parts then, I really don't want to leave anything outside for a few nights. Best bet to break on a joint (and no filling of joints)? Or can I just grind over the edge and overlap?

Either but joint is best.

Use the joints as your natural breaking point, so in this case, don't fill them unless you have a pressing reason to do so. You can always go back later and fill them with a product you don't have to coat.
