Just a quick administrative question.

Is there a simple way to search for threads with images of epoxy floors? There's a thousand threads of epoxy floors, but a ton of them are text heavy with little to no pics.

Searching for pics only in forums can be difficult unless there is a particular thread or category dedicated to it. I participate in some automotive forums (hobby) that dedicate threads to pics only for just this reason. In this particular forum, most pics are for one particular product that someone applied.

We have a garage floor gallery which you can find here. It covers all flooring, not just epoxy, but most have a link to an article or manufacturer of the product. We don't sell product so it can be a good start to get some ideas of what you like.

I know people have asked for other readers here to show pics of their garage floor coatings, but they generally don't go very far since a lot of the readers here don't come back after they apply their coating. Many times you can find good example by visiting the webpages of the garage flooring vendors, such as ArmorPoxy above.

This ^ Google is a great search engine

One thing to add though,
You can confine your search to a particular website by adding "site:garagejournal.com" (or whatever site you want to search) to the end of the phrase you want to search. Doing it like that works better than just adding the name of the website.

There are lots of other suffixes you can add to google searches that are very useful. It is worthwhile to learn a few of them.

Yes, Google is the way I had been doing it. As you said, it's a great search engine.

It'd be great if there was a photo "library" of sorts. Then be able to click on the pic to take you to the thread the picture is part of. I guess I'm essentially doing that with Google right now.

Thanks all
