Now that's nice. How do you keep the floor so clean?

Thanks. I laid a coat of epoxy. I just wipe up anything that spills on it. Once in a while I'll spray it down and use a squegee to dry it.

Are you guys doing that epoxy yourself? I want to coat the floor of our garage now, but wasn't sure about the process of doing it right, aside from hiring a company.

The previous owner of our house didn't care much for the garage. It has an oil stain in the concrete and I used Krud Kutter and a pressure washer and it got most of the surface residue off, but there is still stains on the concrete.

Any suggestions? Or just save the hassle and have someone do it professionally?

I did my epoxy floor myself. Acid washed and scrubbed the floor with a hard brush. Then I hand painted the edges and I rolled the rest.

I did mine myself as well. I bought my house new, so I didn't have the unfortunate job of removing oil/grease stains, etc.
If you do it yourself, make sure you degrease and get up any stains you have as best as you can, etch the concrete, then let it dry. Make sure the concrete is completely dry before you roll on any pant or epoxy, otherwise you risk the paint/epoxy bubbling later. You can tape down plastic sheeting and leave it for about 24 hours, then check to see if any moisture has built up on the plastic. If so, there's still moisture in the concrete that needs to evaporate first. If the plastic is dry, you are ready to roll on the finish.

Robbie I did mine in the summer and left the garage open all day and night empty and it dried in no time. I used a moisture meter to check the concrete

Anyone do concrete stain? Did epoxy at my last house, it was alright but nothing special. Thinking about using the Behr kit at Home Depot but scuuuuuured as I haven't found many before/afters.

Shawn,

Nice design in a little space. I like the moving dolly as a mount for the mini-fridge. I'll be copying that!

Do your parts bins over by the door get much dirt in them? I need a solution for small parts, and while I did find a GREAT small parts organizer, they are no longer available, so I have to come up with a different idea. I'm thinking about those trays and maybe mounting them to a hunk of plywood bolted to a wall, but am concerned about them gathering dirt/dust/bugs, since they are always open.

And while I'm here, here's our 'garage'. This is shortly after we got some of the collection moved out of friend's garages, boat stalls, Dad's house, etc., and finally under one roof. We've since filled it with cars, and will now have to go vertical, to get more room.

Love all of them that's where the sh** happens right! I went from a house with no garage to a one car and now a 2 car and maybe one day building a custom one from the ground up. Pics of mine are in my profile under albums.
