New epoxy floor in my garage

[Klasik-69]

A painted floor ( epoxy, urethane or acrylics ) is just that ........a painted floor. Painted floors are great if you want a show room but a disaster if you do metal, fiberglass or paint work in your shop, so have a clean room with a beautiful waxed painted floor for parking toys and plain polished concrete in the shop/ garage side that can be dust mopped or scraped to remove epoxy/polyester resin or what ever else falls on it. The more cars you build the more parking spaces you have to paint. Eventually you have to build another garage.

We built a 12 car garage to start with. By the time you move in 2 lathes, milling machine, shears, break, storage racks, metal cabinets, two benders, tig, mig, acetylene, 2 plastic, plasma, roller tool box, two poster lift, various belt/disk sanders, sink, hot water tank, big screen tv, surround sound speakers, Refrig, microwave, coffee pot, uranyl, pressure washers, 20ton, press inside and outside sand blasters, parts polisher, hundreds of small tools, 2 drill presses, welding table and assorted work tables. It is now down to a 6 car garage, so we built a 2 car down draft paint booth to park 2 cars in when not painting. After typing this i realized this car thing has really gotten out of hand. Damn I may go back needle point.

The problem is the one thing you didn't need.............the "uranyl". OK, what's a uranyl ? Did you mean a urinal ?

 

It's kind of like the Peter Principle which dictates that the time it takes to perform a task expands to the time alloted, hence 10 hour work days don't produce as much as 5 of the 8 hour work days. A shop will accumulate as much material and equipment as there is space to accomodate it. I am the prime example of such a principle, and it looks like you are the poster child.

 

When I decided to epoxy the floors on this building, I promised myself that I would not buy welding or machining equipment, and kind of used the epoxy floor as an enforcer of that promise. I'm fortunate that my business has several large buildings with all the metal fabricating equipment anyone could dream of. So it's actually easy for me to just go over there and make what I need. My car building stays clean, my cars stay clean, and employees clean up the mess I make at the main building. Life is good :hurray:

Didn't you know uranyl is I pad for urinal? :-)

No I didn't know, but I'm not sure if you're puting me on. I could understand if it was "Urnl" but if its the same number of letters, why misspell it ? Ah, you guys are having fun with me again. I wish people would use common terms like "$hitter" for us southern boys who don't go to the big city very often. If it's upscale, then it becomes a "Turlet" so women can use it too and not feint. My wife goes in public toilets with her sanitation kit, cleans the whole bathroom before she uses it. I wish I could hold off that long.

 

Now you guys see the importance of a good epoxy finished floor..............need to go, just go. Everything beads up and a little mopping action and it's spic n span.
