A follow-up from our garage project, Brian and I are in the process of putting an epoxy coat on the garage floor. We spent some time cleaning and etching (cleans and roughs it up a little bit--allows the epoxy to bind better to the concrete) the floor. We used Rust-Oleum Epoxy Shield (our was a 1 car garage kit) with black/blue/white/gray chips. After doing our research and watching videos online, we went with three kits as the people who were not happy with final product commonly noted in the conclusions of there videos wishing that they had put the epoxy down a little thicker.
Preparing the Floor
The left side is cleaned, while the right side is uncleaned.
Etching the floor
Powerwashing the etching off the floor
Laying the Epoxy Down
Having 3 kits, we used the cones after measuring out the garage to make sure we spaced each kit out for appropriate coverage.

We used fans to blow out any leaves, bugs, dust, pollen, or things from coming in the garage during the epoxy process

Unrelated to the garage project, Brian and I have been walking the nature paths around the gardens and down by the river this past week.
