On the subject of garage floors: I just bought a home (my
first), and I am incredibly excited about having a garage to
work in. So I have two questions:
First of all, the floor of the garage is cement, but has
several good size cracks in it. These are far too deep to
roll a creeper over. Ideally, I would love a smooth epoxied
finish. What should I do? Can I just go over the current
cement with some patching cement, then epoxy it? Do I need
to redo the floor completely? How much would these options
cost? And which epoxy should I use? I need some
suggestions!! I know the results I want, but do not know
the route I should take. The results should last 5-8 years,
but I won't be in the house forever. Thanks.
Second, I'm looking for some good workshop-planning
resources. I'm trying to make a small two car garage into a
capable place to work on one car. (daily-drivers will be in
the driveway.....) Again, any suggestions would be
appreciated.
Oh, by the way, anyone selling a used 110 volt compressor in
the SE Michigan/Ohio area? A complete compressor with tools
would also be considered, as would a table top drill press,
a small grinder, a good bench vise, a big Craftsman "bottom"
box, or other shop/fabrication tools. Anyone know of any
good local places to buy used tools? My Craftsman box of
tools just won't cut it anymore....
