The past couple days or weeks have been pretty hectic. I needed to be back at school yesterday (Saturday) for classes that start Monday. But before that, I had to get my car all put back together (the gas tank was out, and some other things) and running before I left. So I had been working like a mad man to get it together, and I finally did, and it was running the best it had... only the day before I had to take it to storage. The last two days, I drove it every second I could. I did everything ...

The choice of floors for a garage is rather straight forward. I want concrete with an epoxy coating. The wood paneled garage picture from the last blog post has it. Frequently, some chips are thrown on to the wet epoxy to get the little specs on it. I've always like the rubbery tiles that have slightly raised circles but the tiles could pop off unless glued. I presume they can get stained. These rubbery tiles might be better for a mud room, the room between the house and garage. ...
