<DIV>Just my response to coatings:</DIV>
<DIV>I kept hearing of problems with garage floor coatings. </DIV>
<DIV>While I’m sure that there are many instances that have </DIV>
<DIV>been great applications and very successful, I decided </DIV>
<DIV>that rather than run into problems I’d just get the best floor </DIV>
<DIV>poured and finished by the best cement contractor my gen’l </DIV>
<DIV>contractor found over many years. We added some grey/black coloring
</DIV>
<DIV>to the mix, did all the right things with base, insulation and </DIV>
<DIV>plastic film, etc. We’ve spent a ton of $ on this 2k sf garage </DIV>
<DIV>and I didn’t have the stamina to run into a problem with a </DIV>
<DIV>disappointing floor finish (like the last time). So we simply </DIV>
<DIV>filled all the saw cuts with epoxy and finish polished the floor </DIV>
<DIV>to a very smooth surface. Everybody asked why I didn’t epoxy </DIV>
<DIV>or otherwise finish the floor (trust me, everything else in the </DIV>
<DIV>garage is FINISHED, including an elevator, 5/8” drywall everywhere, </DIV>
<DIV>two bathrooms, office floor is VGF end grain blocks, three heat </DIV>
<DIV>pumps, two TVs, etc) but the floor is simply nicely finished </DIV>
<DIV>concrete.</DIV>
<DIV>Anyway, that’s my story.....</DIV>
