Garage Update # 21

Guy's,

Its been a while since I have posted any pic's ( been a bit jealous of Aussie's Monster Garage update :D ).

The painter has been working flat out with 4 coats on the block work and 3 on the plaster, the metal beams needed a few more ;);).

I used the two part apoxy N35 factory floor coating. I started on the right side of the garage as the benches and tools were arriving and they say you should leave it for 7 days before you put heavy stuff on it. I did and it still marked. I think I will wait until it gets a bit warmer and try another coat.

R2D2 is hiding in the corner :D. The problem with buying stuff on the net, you cannot see the size of things, I need to add a room just to store the Vacuum.

Great work Stiffy

Looking really good Stiffy. The white walls certainly make it look bigger inside.

I was talking to another outfit that supplies epoxy floor paint. They reckon 6 weeks after the slab is poured before coating. Another company I spoke to says 3 months. I'm going to try the first guys product and just do the section where the lathe and mill are going to try it out.

They also said 7 days to cure but I reckon that the cold weather we're having lately doesn't help.

Cheers

beaut - floor looks good in the photos

Looks great. Now to sell the house and move in?

Looking real good there Stiffy.
Only question I have is are you going to sheet behind the bench griders/polishers with Stainless or something similar?
2 reasons being that there will be crap and crud fly off the wheels (mainly polisher) and if you loose your grip on something, atleast with a steel sheet there is less chance of it punching through the plaster.

These shed builds have got me keen to build one and I am just today ordering a 12mx16m with 4.6m wall heights shed.

Sadly no concrete floor till next year when it isnt as hot (cant afford floor before hand)

Hey Boxy,

I will be putting a piece of something there, its actually painted blockwork ( not plaster ) but yiou are the second person to mention this.

Merv & Shazza,

Actually pulling the house down, I need an extra couple of car spaces :D:D.

They also make great boards for writting on (same as a white board)

WOW! Very nice.

My wife would never let me have setup like that. She would get "ideas"
