The garage.

The garage at our new home was beyond nasty and seeing how we had gift cards we decided to epoxy the floor. After we were done the hound snuck into the garage and inspected the work lol.

We used the Rusto epoxy shield and it worked great. Key is prepping.

Here's the before cleaning.

Here's part of the etching process before coating.

All done [Linked Image]

And then hound tracks about an hr into curing. Cleaning up epoxy on travertine is real fun lol. Not as fun as fixing the finish. Reminds me of when we would write our names or put hands in fresh poured concrete without dads permission lol.

Thanks.
That's exactly why I wanted to do it now. Once I empty my storage the garage will be full. There was over 3 decades of dirt grim oil etc... on the floor.

I'm sure your angry, but in years to come (if this is a life home), you will certainly look back and have some great memories about this.

I have a side walk like that but with cat prints. The first sidewalk I ever poured man was I proud. Then the next day I saw that one of the cats wanted to be the first to use it. That cats been dead years but his tracks remain.

Looks really nice and a great story.

I see nothing wrong with hound tracks on a nicely finished floor. Gives it character.

That's for sure 330.

Providence Farm, that's awesome.

Yukon, I'm not going to unless the epoxy starts peeling then I'll have to fix it. Until then it stays

Wild, at first I was sad but now I'm not bothered by it. Getting the tracks off travertine took awhile.

Garages have floors?! I’ve never seen one in mine lol.

Definitely leave it. Just like kids’ handprints in new concrete

Looks good Adam. Word to the wise: keep brake fluid off it. That stuff will eat any coating known, from the top or bottom.
