Before and after inside garage pics

looks awesome!!!!
i cant wait to get my garage looking somewhat nice.
as for the bike....i hung my bike from the ceiling of my dorm room back in college.
all you need to do is put another pulley up on the ceiling right about where the bike lands if it was laid up against the ceiling, feed some rope through it with a hook on the end, hook the hook to the bike, and pull it over up onto the ceiling and tie off the rope.

It is clean :shrug: :eek:. I want to coat it, but I don't really try to keep the fluids off the garage floor anymore. I would rather have the mess in there than on my driveway. Maybe someday.

I just meant the oil stains. You can clean it with some muriatic acid and then seal it for a little cheaper than epoxy. But if you ever worked on an epoxy coated floor, you would want nothing but that.

nicest thing about epoxy, you dont have to bother keeping the fluids off it, you can just clean up afterward no problem

No fraid not, I used a kit from Menards like a couple years ago in my house in North Dakota, worked real easy. Came with the epoxy and some chips to spread over it for non slip. I loved it, and whenever I get around to buying another house with a garage I am gonna epoxy it. Pouring a new floor in my parents garage this summer probably, and that will be epoxied too. The cheap stuff from menards worked for me, there are probably better deals out there, but I didnt shop around much then, and noone I knew had epoxied their floors so I couldnt get any recommendations.

I cant remember what the stuff is that Dennis Gage from My Classic Car is always advertising, but I have heard good stuff about it.

just the fact that its so easy to clean is what sells me on it all the time. Even sweeping it is easier.

My dad and I used what sounds like the same stuff on his garage. Just don't try and cheat and park on it early - there are two spots where his Sable's front tires sat when the epoxy wasn't quiiiite dry.

That is what I heard also - with our winters here, I don't know if I would want that slippery of a floor. I really want to try it someday though.....
 
My neighbor used a coating on his garage floor called shark bite, it has a fine grit/ texture to it. He used that so his kids wouldn't slip if the floor was wet........haven't seen them wipe out yet :shrug:
