The garage has gotten pretty bad lately. I seem to have time to start many projects, finish some but never have time for the all important clean-up. Sound familiar to anyone? My Dad bought me an epoxy floor kit and I finally decided to get it done. Between emptying the garage, cleaning, powerwashing the floor, painting the walls and floor, this project took around 20 hrs and while it's not done, I think its coming along very nicely. The paint is getting more even as it cures and the base of the walls will be touched up. There is a pot time for the epoxy and using a brush on the brick surrounding the inside of the garage would have taken too long. Easier to touch up the wall than the floor.
The Big Changes:
- Removed large shelf in the front right of the garage. Cut, built and re-purposed it as an 8' workbench. Aside from the floor, this is my new favorite aspect of the garage.
- Powerwashed, etched and epoxy coated the floor
- Patched, sanded and painted the walls
- Removed and remounted existing tire rack. Mounted new one next to it.
- Setup wash station to the left of the garage entrance, right side is more setup with oils/fluids, etc.
- Compressor moved to front right corner. I will get a kit to plumb air to different spots around the garage.
- New/used tool box setup, one by the door, other by the front.
- I still need to finish organizing the rest of the stuff and get the stereo wired in the front.

During - We decided now was the time to patch and paint the walls before doing the floor.
Getting there - Still more organizing to do.
Big thanks to Adam for waking me up on Sunday AM and helping out.
