Make sure whatever you put on the concrete that you epoxy over it. If you do not and you park a car on it the tires will pull it up every time. I have also seen guys do this with lenoleum tiles and then coat it with epoxy. Of course I am a huge racing fan so this was my choice for a grage/workshop floor. I have also seen football and other sporting event floors as well.
Online they are a bit more but in store they are around 125 a piece, which in my eyes is an awesome price, and worth it to buy over building my own.

I like the idea of a sporting field or checkered flag. Maybe a soccer field would be cool, or maybe a small drift/onroad coarse in black and the rest in epoxy white. I was looking around online yesterday and there are quite a few different ways to go about this. I think I may just go with a solid color Epoxy and use those little flakes for some extra styling. Simple and clean. Thankfully the prior owner was nothing of a mechanic nor had anything leaking, just guessing my the cleanliness of the floor in the garage...


On another note I guess I can give you all some info on the house itself. Single owner prior defaulted on his loan in early 2010 and walked away from the house. An investor bought it off of the Court House steps for fairly cheap and has been holding onto it since October of 2010. We technically will be the second owner on the house.

Built in 2004, 2x6 construction on a poured foundation. Granite counter tops, 2 1/2 bath, 2 master beds. 1800 square feet two story. Bull nosed walls, and many other nice custom feeling features. My fave is the water heater recycling unit, this will be a nice one to have.

Any way getting closer and closer... Getting excited.
