+1 Always amazed at what I see from folks in the US.

 

What made you decide against epoxy and go with poly?

 

I would never use epoxy again either. It doesn't hold up no matter what anyone tells you.

 

I've used industrial epoxy in one of my buildings (15,000 sq/ft, not for cars) and the installation company often installs in airplane hangars and other than a couple issues it's been the only thing that worked for that application. Office chairs' wheels stripped the top coat and made it dull and had trapped air bubbles in certain areas (they eventually popped leaving 1/8" craters and needs to be redone).

What other solutions are out there that are also chemical resistant? I doubt poly is more durable than epoxy but I haven't kept up with new technologies or products.

 

Good question. Pricing is the same. To be honest, I didn't know they were from Primelights until they showed up.

I appreciate the legwork that he puts into researching stuff and would pay a surcharge even if they were slightly more from OG but it's still cost-neutral. Otherwise, I would have been buying crap from Lowes.

 

Giuseppe, I sent you a PM.

 

If epoxy doesn’t hold up long term, I don’t think polyurea will either. I have both and I feel like the epoxy is much nicer than the polyurea. If I had thought of doing porcelain tile before I did epoxy I may have gone that route. It never even crossed my mind to do that, unfortunately. If my epoxy doesn’t hold up it will get replaced with that most likely.

 

Very nice GiuseppeM. Elegant yet functional. I like it.

 

couple updates here:

got 2/3 of my garage flooring laid down. 1/3 to go, once I deliver an 11'x4.5' solid walnut conference table i've been working on as a side project. currently its taking up the third bay in the garage.
I've also been shopping around cabinet systems, but decided with my woodworking hobby, that I can build myself, and paint to match the garage.

progress -




As can you see, the crafty side of the garage is yet to be done, with some work still happening over there.
Once the large table is gone, i'll be able to move my work stations and saws over to the completed side, then floor the remaining 1/3.


Lastly, the cabinet mock up. there will be a 36" space between the two, with my TV hanging in the middle.
Peg board will be on either side of the TV, between the large lockers.

 

I'm a wood worker as well. I have a three car garage as well. Recently, over the summer, I glass walled off the one car portion for my C2S and dedicated the two car part for my woodshed, keeping dust almost completely out. Allows much of the light and feels large still, although limits wall space. I'm in the glass biz so I did it for cost, but you should expect to pay anywhere from 1500 to 3000 for a 22' x 8' run.
I left enough room for my wife's Macan in the two car for interment use of either the wood shop or her car. But, being said, I just moved all of my dust creating equipment into the single car (table saw, 14' Bosch mitre saw with Bisemeyer fence, router table etc etc , no joiner no planer.) and my tool boxes are left in the two car. This makes my two car immaculate, and the single car a nice small shop, and when I need to paint or assemble large projects, one of the cars will be removed. I also have a steel car port that I sided and put my MaxJaxx lift in. I had the wood shop out there but it was just too wet. Now my Camaro is out there, we live int he Bay Area so the climate is conducive for leaving one or more cars outside.
I'll post pics once my moving in of the single car garage is complete (bout 75% as of now).

 

After procrastinating for several years to tidy up and organize my minimal garage space at home, I finally got around to it.

Some punch list items and trim work left to do like under the desk, and I might color match the angled wall above the cabinets to the right, but happy how it turned out.

I also have to figure out how to create a swing panel to hide the fuse boxes.

Looks great! Love the underrated color combo. Really sets it off with your white cars!
