Nice Nice. I have a two car garage that I initially Epoxy coated the floors but they started peeling just recently.

What kind of material did you use for the floors ???

Ill get some pictures of teh driveway but its about 25 feet wide and i would say at least 350 long so that wont be getting done anytime soon. were hoping the city repaves the main road and we can get them to run a little pavement down our driveway but it would only be to the house probably.

DNA what we used on the floor was more of a stain I think we do have some epoxy cans but were going to use that at the house and the storage area.

here is an update on the shop its pretty much finished inside just organizing things and we still need to make some cabinets. also there is some photos of what we have been working on redesigning two of those cheap pole carports. the frame is finished just have to get the ground finished and through the tarp on. this area will cover the Camper, Pontoon Boat and my SS until the storage area is cleaned out enough to put the SS in there. also threw a picture of my LS6 Intake that im getting ready to put on and I finished my block off plate for the ashtray and it will have an Ipod Dock and my cutout switch. thanks for all the compliments and here are the pictures.

We finished are carport setup to cover the SS, boat and Camper so this is the temporary spot for my car until the storage area is cleaned out some more. we painted the 4x4s to match the fence and threw a cheap tarp that we got for free along time ago over it. once this tarp falls apart we will get a nice one but here is a picture of it all finished and everything parked under it.

well the blue tarp gave up already with the heavy wind we had last week were gonna get a heavy duty tarp this time and add some other little things to hold it down better in the center. the shop is about the same inside we did setup another carport to park the trucks under but we turned it into a paint booth this week while i painted my honda.
