I've always dreamed of having a nice shop floor in my garage.

Something neat, waterproof and complementary to garage life.

After a long wait, it's finally here!

Used the Rust-Oleum, DIY kit stuff, so it's not professionally installed... so give me some slack :)

Anywho, I just finished the clear coat last night and I'll get a pic of it tonight when I return to the house.

The wife and I built this house and it's brand new concrete, so it was the best time to do it.

the garage is 36'x25'. :)

Pic's coming soon :)

congrats Eric. I used the same thing on my new concrete floors. Not sold on how it seems to come up too easy, but I've heard others that thought it worked well. Hopefully your results are good.

LOL ya, for sure. I think I need a new camera... (just hide it from the wife!) :lol:

Here's where she started, and where it sits as of today. The plan is to mud/tape the walls, then paint it with a two tone paint scheme with an accent stripe for good measure :)

Eric - that looks like a great space! The '68 will have a nice home now.

When exactly is the garage warming party?

a couple cabinets are in. They will be painted white.

The left side wooden cabinet holds the wet-dry shop-vac out of sight :)

All of these cabinets are made of really high quality metal and are remnants from the 50's. All original Formica and steel kitchen cabinets by Youngstown :D
