A journey with my boys- The Elf Barn as I call it.

Degreased, powerwashed, etched, powerwashed, squeegeed, drying.

Decided solid color 1part epoxy. Light grey. This weekend.

Also had our first visitor. Rat snake.

I epoxy coated the garage at my place in Nevada light gray, and I'm really happy with it.

Dude, you got a forklift! Awesome. Once you have one you'll never be able to go without one!

It’s like having 5 Olympic heavy weight lifters at the call off your ignition. Lots you can do if you are creative. Could not place a chain rail hoist in the new place. Needed something else. Got it for deal I could not refuse.

Laid down 1 part epoxy. Turned out good. Used a airless sprayer and followed up with a 3/8” nap roller. Like it more than the bare concrete. Much brighter inside.

That looks great! Let it cure and fill the place up .

That’s going to happen for sure. So glad I learned Tetris early on in life. Sooooo valuable.

You should go 2 or 3 layers for the floor, it will brighten up even more and lasts much longer.
Especially with that fork lift.
It wil never be this empty again until you move to the next building.

Worry about too thick where forklift tires have a mil thickness to bite and chew off. This is pretty thin and seated in the etched surface.

Looking good, CD! Floors turned out great. Nice choice on the SCAG, as well!

The down side of shop improvements is the time it takes you away from the reason you have the shop in the first place.

 

[ceylonfj40nut]

Had some great ideas to reorganize the section with the bays so all four a available. We had some shelves on the end of the bay section that prevented full use. R2D2 did some of the heavy lifting. Things you dream up when the muscle is at beckon call. Best shop assistant ever.

Had to relocate the propane heater because shelves were going there. R2D2 was at beckon call

We also got blue bonnet to the barn.

Next is old Landy and Hercules.

The elves worked really hard.

Did you make a layout planning?

Did you make a layout planning?

ahem. Yes. Not as good as how my wife thinks through things. She has a knack for it.
