Not retired yet.... I'm still on the hunt for employment. You don't have to convince me about getting out of here; I just need to twist my wife's arm as this is home for her.
 
Just snowed in Tulsa! Was 79 yesterday! My grandson drives a tractor and trailer, it was snowing so hard this morning in Broken Arrow, they wouldn't take the trucks out of the yard! Supposed to go down to 28 tonight, 60s and up from then on. Crazy this time of the year. PJ
 
The "Prancin Pony" tucked safely in the garage Randy?
 
I took my snow blower out of my 2-car attached garage today and put it back in our shed in "the back forty".
We already have three cars in this garage and the blower was really getting in the way.

I'm hoping I won't touch it again until around January.

One year here in NJ (around '77), we had about 3" in late April.
 
snowing steady here - grrrr
 
Randy, What is the coating on your garage floor? Very nice looking! PJ

It is an industrial epoxy coating. I moved here in December and part of the deal was a garage floor for me. I had a coatings specialist do the work. The shot blasted the floor, filled in the seams and then took four days to coat it. I'll do just about anything myself, but my research suggested it needed tools I just couldn't buy or rent.

So far it has held up well...even where the daily drivers sit with the road salt, sand and general goo all winter.

I'll start another thread with some pictures.

Back on topic!
 
Nice garage. When we built our garage husband did stained concrete and then a finish epoxy. He will re-epoxy this year (3 full years of wear and tear). It was suggested that he do it every 2-3 years. Our house garage was epoxied with a supposed sand/silica to make it not slippery. Didn't work, slippery as all get out. We had a company who 'specialized' in garage floors. Sad to say it didn't work. Will resurface it at some point in time but not sure with what. Can't do the stained concrete as the floor is almost 18 years old. Suggestions welcome. I thought about a rubber tile but that didn't even get a grunt.
