My Garage Project is Complete!

And we're all looking forward to the pictures!

 

haha. I will see what I can do

 

I got a question, who's using the shop when your not there brianja? Just curious that's all.

 

The garage is located very close to my father's beach house (about an hour from me in NYC). He uses it mainly to store his collection and to wash. He is not as into detailing as I am.

He is in and out fairly regularly swapping cars.

I am there less frequently, but when I am it's for extended periods of time.

Sounds like it's being put to good use :wicked:

Man your garage has inspired some wicked ideas for my new garage :worship2: :worship2:

 

I'm thinking of putting an epoxy floor down in my garage too. Just one question. How do you clean it? Can you mop it? I'm thinking it would be a good excuse to get one of those big bucket/wringers and a huge mop. For some reason, I've always wanted one.

 

It's VERY easy to maintain. Yes, a quick pass with a mop is really all it needs.

 

first that is quite a nice garage!!

second about the floor i have heard recently that every 5 years or so you have to remove that and refinish it.. is that true because we were thinking about going the tile route instead esp since we have slabs of concrete settled for 27 years and in mint condition. but we haven't heard positive things about doing the floor like that.

congrats on the sweet garage!!!

 

When epoxy dries it is 75% the hardness of glass. You will NEVER replace that floor if it was laid down properly. Once again, congrats on the absolutely fantastic garage!!

 

Looks great with lots of room.

 

wow looks great.

 

Thanks again, guys.

Phil... did I see you are sponsoring COI this year? Cool!

 

yes sir..maybe I can go on the run this year. I haven't been on it for a couple of years I will be doing some freebies /raffle prizes.

 

Freebies and raffles... sweet! haha.

I haven't done it before, but am really going to try to make it this year. I missed last year at the last minute and was mad.

 

Holy crapoly batman! I'm seriously jealous. I'll live in the apartment and detail cars to pay rent lol.

 

WOW, Thats beautiful. I would have been foaming at the mouth to move in there...:applause:

 

Absolutely awesome!! What brand of floor epoxy did you lay down? Reason I ask, is we just finished our two garages(nothing compared to yours, wow!) and now we just need to get the floors covered, and the walls painted. How did you end up getting the epoxy to stick to the walls, we tried it in my uncles garage and ended up giving up...

 

Thanks again everyone.

Crossroaddetail, you are right about the epoxy not wanting to stick to the walls. The coating company had the same concern and experience.

We ran a 6" high strip of cement board (like the Durock / sheetrock used in bathrooms) at the bottom of the walls. The epoxy has no problem adhering to that.

I don't know what brand the epoxy was as we had a pro put down the coating.

 

holy shit thats bad ass!
