[mikeysgt]

thanks guys. just finished the touch ups and also swept and spray cleaned the floors. got them all shined up and ready to enjoy. well worth the hard labor and glad I decided to go through with the project. next up is covering the fireplace face with stone. I'll be buying it in the next couple of days and plan on putting it up by Saturday

Damn , you might have to sell me some more parts off the car haha

if I knew how to remove the longtubes I'd even cut you a deal on them for cheap. my suspension setup is already pending a sale and everything else is already gone. hoping to sell my car in the next few months and pick up a 2011 or an suv

I just had a web cam session with the floor company for my house. I just picked out the wood flooring ( almost same color as yours above but the wood is a scraped finish i think it was called) the cermaic tile and the lanoliunom (SP) for the bath room and kitchen floors.. shits not easy when your not an interior decorator

cool. I know what you mean by that finish. that's the one I actually liked but it was out of my budget. gives it that old worn out feeling to it. you're right about stuff being hard not being an interior decorator. luckily my girl is there to help. I'm meeting her in a couple of hours to pick out the stone for the fireplace. we already have an idea of what we want but even then there's so many different shades to choose from just like the floors

ok. been making some minor changes inside the home but nothing major yet. finally decided on what stone to use for our fireplace makeover so it should be done on a couple weeks when the stone gets delivered.

went walking around home depot earlier looking for some plants to plant in our front yard and pull out some unwanted shrubs we have. me and my girl will be doing that tomorrow morning.

but what I did end up picking up while walking around that I thought could be cool was this behr cement stain kit! cost about $80 and I'll be trying it out in our fire pit cement this week. if it comes out good I'll be buying a few more kits and doing our entry way and back patio cement slabs.

anyone ever try a kit like this before. it comes with everything I'll need including the pump sprayer, cleaner, stain, sealer etc

GREAT KIT!!!! Used that one (outdoor version) for our driveway !

I'm really glad you posted. I was hoping someone had experience with something like this. I was reading the instructions and it says do not use on garage or driveway or near pools. we really wanted to do the driveway and entry way with this. how is it holding up for you? do you have any pics you can post up for me? I'm going to use this fire pit spot as a test spot and give it a try. if we like the look I'll definitely give the driveway a go with it also

There is a DRIVE WAY specific one ... I think we got ours at Lowes.. as the counter reps. Let me see if I can get the wife to send some pics .... Exact same company and box. Only it says for Driveway use outside only.

Just closed on my house yesterday! I want to find something to do on the garage floor along the lines of epoxy and something else for the patio along the lines of a stain. I've got a friend who can get CTI products, epoxy stuff, but it's still expensive at cost. It'll end up costing me about $600 in materials alone for the only the garage floor. Still trying to find something. I might just end up going with Home Depot stuff and prep the shit out of it. Anyone got any input on good, cheaper epoxy floor coatings?

 

[mikeysgt]

I'll be going with the home depot kit when the time comes. can't beat it for under $100
