The bench/box thing does not look like a craftsman. Could be. I know the roll away is craftsman.

well it reads craftsman right on it, so I'm pritty sure it is. Unless he slaped stickers on it to match and then painted it to match. The top may have been added because the one I have has a tin covered top.

So true! Some things that should take 30 minutes end up taking over an hour because I keep stopping to watch what is going on.

So, when are you having all of the LS1Tech Eastern Members over for a garage-warming party? It would be a lot of fun if everyone brought some food and drink!

Hum...

Need to finish the house and have a regular housewarming party before I think about doing that. The second floor with the bedrooms and bathrooms is 98% complete and the first floor should be ready for furniture by the end of this week. Those floors are being done this week.

The floors were painted every 1-2 years so they had to strip all of that off. Then they put a primer on it. The concrete is smooth so those guys were sliding all over the place after that. The next step was the epoxy (seen in the first pic). After that they spread out the blue and white chips so they could harden into the epoxy was it dried. Finally a clearcoat was applied. You can see where they started doing that in picture 2. In the end the floor has a rough/smooth finish. It's rough from the PVC chips so that helps with sliding but the clear coat makes it smooth.
