Finally, my finished epoxy floor!

[nathank]

Looks like you have some wiring work to do!
Looks great!!

That wire is CATV, and hung up out of the way for the floor project. Hopefully there will be a 50" LCD going in that corner soon!

Then I'm going to build a L-shaped bar on casters. The two fridges will be built into the bar and the tap will be on top. It will be built where I can turn it around and roll it into that corner and use it for workspace.

That bike looks like the perfect mixture of crotch rocket and cruiser.

You are correct sir. I used to ride sportbikes, but they are pure hell on long trips. My pops rides a Goldwing, so it's something I can jump on and ride the highway with him.

at the risk of being off topic, how do you like your Gladiator cabinets and which model do you have? (rta, welded, etc.)

I'm not sure what model they are, perhaps a GJ member can chime in, they are the ones that went on sale at Lowes for $29/piece. I bought all 7 the local store had.

They are decent cabinets. I was a little surprised with how flimsy the doors and shelves are, but they work for light duty storage. I definitely wouldn't have been happy paying the regular price of $119 for them. I don't think they are worth that. I wish they had taller doors instead of that cubby hole at the bottom. It ends up being a shelf for misc junk and makes everything look messy. For the price it's hard to complain too much though.

Wow, can't beat that price! "rta" just means "Ready To Assemble", so you assemble with nuts and boltsThe welded ones come pre-assembled by welding. There is another line called cadet, but I don't know what that is.
Looks good though and the floor too, of course!

Nathan,
Looking great. I've chilled out. Removed some of my comments. There is nothing wrong with the EC products. .

I think maybe you deleted the whole thread!?
It must be solid after you said you drug shelves across it and it it did not scratch. Are you saying no gouges or not any kind of scratch at all? I can make light scratches with about anything.
I am glad to hear you found some peace with your floor.

I had to put these together with the nuts and bolts. It was a PITA.

Did you use a grip in the clear coat ?

[nathank]

No grip in the clear. The baby slips and slides when his feet get wet. It's a slippery booger when it's wet!

NATHANK,
Great job! How is the black epoxy working out for you? I love the look, but I am wondering if it shows the dirt more compared to a lighter base color.
Thanks,
Chas

 

[ponjohn]

Real nice.

What clear did you choose?

 

[nathank]

Howdy people

charlescam, I LOVE the black. I am so glad I went with black. This floor is so easy to sweep! It isn't as bad as you would think to keep clean. It's easier than the bare concrete.

ponjohn, the color and clear are both epoxycoat

 

[Call me the Breeze]

I like it very much. One of those big roller magnets would help with lost hardware on the floor. The black looks awesome!
