The companies that I looked into ranged from $5-$8sqft. That's was way to much for us to even think about.

However they also say, the concrete needs to be cured for at least 30 days.

Yeah, I saw what you were using, was just wondering what it was going to cost you. Those companies were charging quite a bit, don't blame you for doing it yourself.

I think we are about $300 into supplies for the space a little over 500sqft.

By putting the kit together ourselves we were able to save money and do it the exact colors we wanted.

Seal-Kretes base can be colored to what you want it to be. The others are already pre-mixed.

So since I am not allowed to paint anymore (she won't let me cause I suck at it) I am posting the pics. She is outside painting the doors and window trims to match the floor. Once that is done we will apply the clear top coat. So far so good...

 

[ZmanM3]

Looking good.

 

[mikeysgt]

that came out pretty good so far! can't wait to see the final result.

Nice house

 

[Boozshey]

One door painted. Now just more waiting for clear to dry. Hopefully tomorrow I can put down the rubber trim and she can finish painting the windows and other door.

What's with the footprints on the freshly painted floor?

 

[Boozshey]

Probably the ghost of the old man that lived here before us.

So the beginning state of the floor has been and we knew was going to be an issue. We've done all we could but the floor paint didn't dry evenly and absorbed more in some areas. No big deal, it's just one of those things.

Anyways, painted the windows tonight and put the floor molding/trim up. Tomorrow we will load it full of shelves and tools.

 

[stang389]

why isnt the stang in there yet!!!!

 

[Boozshey]

Almost time... Moved a bunch of our shelving, tool boxes, workbenches in today.

YES!!! I can't stand when I see people spend time and money on a garage and miss the most important part in the lighting. I've only got a 2 car garage and I've got four 4' lights in it and there could probably be more lighting. Add some to the walls.

 

[Boozshey]

Nasty, you should come by... We are having a house warming and going away party (deployment) for me on Feb 18th. Should be a good time. PM me if interested.

 

[Boozshey]

Okay so got all the lights done, wired and everything looks great. There is a total of 18 T8, 2 bulb, 4' shop light spaced every 4 feet. All with Alto II 6500k Daylight 2750lumens per bulb. The lighting is awesome, there is hardly a shadow in the garage now.

Anyways, here ya go...

 

[NastyStang113]

Very nice!! How much were those bulbs?
