Hi @Jimi

Thanks for sharing you and your friends painted garage floor project. It looks fabulous and you've done an excellent job of the clean-up. Has your friend decided what it will be used for now that it's clean and tidy?

Should it be necessary to store items in the garage again, I suggest having a look at this discussion - Heavy duty garage shelving by @jthurley. I've made a suggestion on how to build timber shelves that you can custom make and mount on a brick wall.

Again, thank you for sharing such a fantastic project.

Looks great @Jimi I want to paint our shed floor, need to finish inside first. Can I ask please, did you add anything to the paint process to make the floor non slippery if that makes sense ? 😊

Morning @Jimi

It does look a lot nicer Now the thing is will it be used for garage stuff or will everything else be attracted to it? BTW I never use a garage for a car
