With all that prep don’t cheap out on paint. I have been working on my fascia boards and parts are 20+ feet up. I went with Shewin Williams highest end paint with a lifetime warranty. I will never use cheap paint again as the application is so much better than cheap paint I’ve used in the past.

Absolutely, when doing home renovations I went through several different paint brands and definitely stuck with Sherwin Williams.

Oh yeah I’m going all in on this one! We have a few high spots also and with the new metal roof, I can’t paint over the edge. So lots of scaffolding and latter work.

A couple of our chickens started laying eggs recently including our Easter Egger! IMG_4544.jpg minus the brown egg, that was just leftover from a carton.

Fuck that. I’ve done that and hated every second of it. Came out half assed too. Paid a pro to do it the next time around and it was amazing. Yours looks good though.

Lol. Thanks for the encouragement. I've watched about 5 years of YouTube videos so I'm officially certified.

Honestly, anything is better than what we had. I repaired the large cracks months ago. We degreased and acid etched it on Wed and left heaters running for two days to make sure it was dry and warm. I told my wife this would be a several day project. We took it slow. And honestly for 150 bucks, it is what it is. I don't think we could have prepped it any better so if it peels, so be it.

I looked into the professional stuff as well. I could watch those videos for hours, very satisfying. They do sweet work. But very time-consuming and $$$$$$ with some of their stuff.

I am looking forward to walking on it with socks and being comfortable laying down while working on the Jeeps.

You must be sitting in your garage, smoking a cigar, admiring your work. As you should.... looks good.

I wish. I am enjoying a cigar though. Can't walk on it for over 12 hours. And drive on it for 3 days. Going to be a painful few days. Then I gotta move all my shit back in too.

This was a 2 part epoxy mix, but it was really basic and cheap. Other epoxys may dry faster :idontknow: . But it was drying visually pretty damn quick. Concrete was 82F and I would roll the epoxy on and my wife was doing the chips. At first we were doing row by row and it was drying too fast for the chips to stick, you could actually see the color difference. So we stuck to 4' x 4' squares instead of rows. I'm still going to wait a few days to drive on it. After all that work, I don't want to risk fucking it up.

Me too. I wasn't too sure with the blue at first but I told my wife the same thing. Perfect match for the truck.

Testing out the new floor. Over 20 degrees cooler in here than outside since we insulated it. Fucking hot out today.
