Rustoleum makes a two part epoxy. Works great

yup prep it good and it will last. I am hard on my floors and still cant get it to chip.

I would suggest installing a small test tank in the back yard. Also make one side a “clean” side with very few things in it and have them on rollers so you can move them out easily when it’s time to spray paint.
I also love those little red rollie tables!

IMO, there are 3 things that make a good garage for working in. Tool chest, air compressor, and work bench....in that order. Everything else is built to accommodate something else but those 3 are essential if you want a smooth operating work space. Shelves and storage are all secondary and come when you need extra floor space.

I shopped for a big rolling toolbox for several years and always refused to spend $1500-$3000 on one. I was walking thru sears one day and found the big black craftsman rollaway that is now in my garage, marked down to $499 from $999. I would have bought a couple that day if they had them.

OK, very jealous. I wish I had a "test tank" like that in my backyard!!

I bought the Rustoleum kit from Home Depot. I've heard mixed reviews but I figure the people who've had issues with it probably didnt take enough time to prep it right.

 

[WILKEY]

I got the same kit. I took my time an paid my workers to help out. I bought two kits an did two coats. I have givin it hell for the last 4 months and she still pretty. Jus get ya a mop and a mop bucket and you will be good

 

[eyeless]

you people just forgot to throw that old coffee maker in there somewhere.. also a laptop with wireless internet+camera is a huge bonus for those sticky situations where you just don't know the what from the where.. Been there done that =D

Coffee maker? How about the keg-erator, or at least just a fridge to keep the beer in!

wow dude i dream of having a house like that on the lake.

 

[gto0209]

steel workbench is key, if you have a wood one, oil soaks into it and then dirt and crud sticks to it. A cheap pice of carpet from home depot under your toolbox/workbench is nice too

Put base board heaters in.

Put base board heaters in.

Wood buning stove is better. Then you can heat it only when you are out there and get it nice and warm.

Just put in a garage door in the back of my garage making it a pull through. I'm gonna put a slab out back with some tool sheds, drywall the garage, put in a bar with a tv on the wall, do the epoxy coating on the floor, redo my workbench it's gonna bitchen.

 

[OCD Solutions]

That's pretty sweet. I was going to do that to one of my snowmobile sheds but didn't like the idea of an way into my shed that I couldn't see from the house.

 

[ajmps1]

your gonna put shelves over the work bench so lights over the work bench so your not squinting and guessing while working on small things
