My garage floor looks so bad, when the dog takes a dump in there, I have to
look for it. I want to take a wire wheel and a chisel and take down some
blobs of paint and concrete spatter that the genius who built the house
left.
I then want to paint it. I know there are epoxies and stuff with sprinkles.
Looks great. I've seen some floors with that. Is there a cheaper
alternative?

theres a rubber roll out mat. although sorry i dont have a link
The rubber mats are sold in pieces that interlock. You buy as many
as you need. It is supposedly oil/gas resistant. But it is not a
solid surface and if the dog continues to use the garage you will have
a real mess to take it apart and clean up and then put back together.
The spoxy with sprinkles looks like a good solution, I don't know how
it stands up to the salt/snow/ice crap we get here in the Chicago
cuburbs.
I thought about the garage "tiles", but decided that it would be too hard to
keep clean. I have the epoxy paint with sprinkles (the builder put it down).
I like it. The only drawback I notice with it is that it's a little harder to
sweep clean. Sorry, no salt/snow/ice in Alabama - left that crap in Vermont.
;-)
Are you in the hills or the flatlands? We had a lot of Global Warming
fall on Birmingham this winter.
East-central (Auburn/Opelika). They closed the university and my employer
closed down on an inch of speculation. It didn't start until well after noon
but they announced the closings the previous night. Of course I showed up
thinking that they certainly wouldn't close for *nothing*.

I told my wife when we lived in Vermont, I have a 4WD "off-road" truck so I
can go anywhere. I can even go off the road.

UH OH! Auburn? *snicker*


It's not much more than a wide spot in the road, but it sure beats the
People's Republic of Burlington.


"Northern by birth, Southern by the grace of God" Old Alabama Hillbilly
saying found written on the wall of a cave by little known ancient
ancestral Cavebillies. Damn Yankees come down here, discover how
beautiful it is and we can't get them to leave.


We'll see. It is nice, but Vermont is beautiful. Kentucky is beautiful.
Alabama is nice.

After they're here a while and learn the language, they go native.


I hope not. I didn't learn NE Yankee.

It's amusing to explain
to a former Yankee that he should wear a shirt with his overalls and
that shoes are really a good idea.


No overalls, always a long-sleevee shirt, and socks with my shoes.
