By the way, something to NOT use on your garage floor is the "rubberized Harry homeowner" paint made for garage floors. Don't know who makes it but Sears and many paint stores carry it. Looks great when freshly painted but hot tires mark up the floor and can cause the paint to lift. As soon as the weather gets warm, stripping and refinishing the garage floor is on the list of things to do.

Where's the hi temp pizza oven? Satellite TV?
One of the neatest home based shops/garages I ever saw was one that also included a very small bathroom with a toilet, deep sink and a small shower. Nothing like cleaning up before coming back into the house. Of course this was in a 12,000 square foot 5 acre piece of luxury property...but you get the idea.
Looks great, Jerry.

I used it on mine. There is a pot time on it and when I did the first part of my garage I let that expire I guess. So 1/3 of my floor is now coming up in places. The other 2/3 is staying down fine. I would use it agian and may end up doing that part again.

I like the way you think! Only thing is....if I do that, will also need a shower & big screen, cuz I WILL be racking in the shop! Actually, we have 4 Vettes. Besides the ZR-1's, the wife has a CE53-03 and then we have the LT-1 Raptor rear turbo project car, a 95 polo/tan auto.

Just using a microwave, but satellite TV already in the plan.

You guys who work on dirty cars!! If I put too many creature comforts in, Karen won't let me back in the house.....course if I'm too dirty she might not either. This shop is where I'm going to hang out, not planning on working too hard....

I used the Rustoleum industrial floor coating in mine, and it's held up great for the 2.5 years since we built this house. It's not the same stuff as their garage floor coating, I remember when I got it that it was over twice as much. The only thing I would have done differently is to put it on a LOT thicker. I had no idea that the new concrete would soak it up as much as it did. Think along the same lines as painting drywall with no primer, it just gets sucked into the floor. It didn't leave any gaps in coverage, but there are some areas on the floor that do not have the smooth epoxy finish, it's more like the surface of the concrete.

Here's a pic showing the floor after it's done in the rear stall of my garage which is the bike lift and workbench area. PM me if you want to see larger, more detailed pics (there's a size limit on attachments here)

Better than sky-lights are solar lights. They are much smaller and really light up a room. Mine have never leaked and that's even through 3 hurricanes.

Been delayed in responding. Went to Daytona Beach last Sat to pick up a 79 Bronco for my daughter & her husband. Drove it back & got in this morning about 0500. Long trip, glad I took tools.

Evl Twn: Thanks for the info, I'll check it out.

Johnny: LOL! The difference a couple of generations makes huh? One thing remains the same though, 0311 grunts still hump a lot of gear.

Ry: I'm a fair weather guy mostly, so will back it out onto the drive to wash, if it ever gets that dirty. How's the new 415 doing? Didn't see you in Breckenridge last year! What's the deal?
