oh.. ooops. didn't mean to repeat wat you already knew. sorry!

but you're off to a GREAT start, that's for sure. nice floor, walls, window,
etc. etc. etc. how about the Gladiator series from Sears? those aren't
cheap but not overwelmingly expensive either for a nice house like yours.

It's the contractors grade, not a Home Depot kit...in other words, you need a license to buy this stuff...so thats what my friend told me...

The concrete was acid etched, left to dry for 24 hours, then two coats of epoxy rolled on 24 hours apart...it was then left to cure for another three days...total floor work time, six days...not counting the garage cleanout...essentially, I used up two weeks of vacation just doing this But it was worth it...

Alright. i'm finally making progress on my garage. Sid, sorry for doing a similar paint scheme, I just loved the way it looks! (Oh, and I know that I have some touching up to do. Thats all tomorrow.)

For the walls, I did Thin Ice, and then some semi-gloss red for the trim. Theres a BIG surprise just around the corner, so stay tuned!

Maybe you didn't invent good taste, but you sure can put on a good show!

I'll keep you guys/gals updated.
