Took out the wood half arsed workbench and plywood wall covering. Got the floor epoxy done. Tomorrow I'll get the shelves painted and relocated to the work room. I'll also paint the big white squares to match the other walls.

Funky plywood had been repurposed to expand my attic flooring.

At Costco I picked up 3 4ft LED shop lights, two for the main area and one for the little work shop. I might add two more to the main garage area if they clear the door

AR, once the floor has cured you could hold a party in there first and use it as a dance floor then afterwards tell all the neigbours to F___Off and let you get on with your garage and workshop. You would be like me then, a real Doc Martin abrupt 'bears breath'

Went in today and decided that I want to do a gloss clear epoxy coat so after we finished installing the new LED shop lights we got to work on that. Then it was let it dry time. So we started moving the rest of the house. I'm exhausted and enjoying a blue moon. Tomorrow it's ground hog day and do it all over again.

In the back work shop the shelves will be getting torn out. The cabinet shelves from the back wall of the garage will be mounted on the wall.

We have a lot of left over ceramic tile that came with the place so we are going to tile my work shop for practice.

A computer work station will be there with a wall mounted monitor. A 6ft work bench and stool with overhead LED lighting.

Also going to do a cover for the hot water heater in the corner

Gloss is good as it helps in cleaning the surface of spills etc and also reflects the light better.
