I thought I'd share a few pics of the garage that I took late last year. I still have a ways to go, but am slowly getting there. Pics are at the link below: http://www.stillensucks.com/Garage_S...raged_12_2003/

From the cars to the garage, that is one sweet place!
I really like how clean and spacious it looks.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Cheers,

Great space, with all the goodies too  Is that a DVD player under your TV?
I see you have a ceiling extension cord over by the benches and tub... is it tensioned to draw the cord back in? And how do you reach it - looks a bit high to me!
And what paint did you use on your floor? You don't seem to have any tire lift-off. What's your secret!

Thanks. I am very fortunate to have heat and air. My garage was originally the sales office for the development tract so they routed in heat and air.

Under the TV is a satellite receiver. You probably cannot see it, but the DVD player is a part of the TV. I found this TV at Costco, so that it saves space by not having to have a separate DVD.
Yep the extension cord is tensioned. I had to readjust it to make it easier to get access to.
The floor has held up fine for over 2 years now. My neighbor had his floor lift after over 6 months with a single part epoxy from home depot. I used a 2 part epoxy from the local Sherwin Williams paint store. I need to go back and find out exactly what it is as I constanstly get inquires about it. I added the optional grit for grip. The epoxy is great as I have left brake fluid on the floor for days and it was unaffected. I have a few minor scratches caused by dragging heavy metal objects across it, but it has held up very well.
Thanks,
Glenn | |

Join Date: Mar 2003 Location: San Jose, CA Posts: 11 | I went to the paint store today and it looks like the Rust-oleum 2 part epoxy paint that I used has been phased out and been replaced with their Epoxy Shield Product. I saw other posts from others who seem to be having good results with this new product.
I definitely remember that the older stuff I used was not a water soluable based product. We also used muriatic acid to clean and etch the floor before applying the epoxy.
