Proud new owner
Well not a car but I am just as excited. My widowed mom just bought a 10 year old house near me in like new condition, attached is a nice 2 car garage. It has a great concrete driveway going back to the rear of the huge lot and there is a nice 2 car garage and a 1 car garage joined with nice shingled roof on all and siding. I have never had a decent garage, never...my one car garage on my current 35 year old house looks like it was designed for a Pinto. My new garages have automatic openers and a key pad on the outside for the alarm and to open the doors. I cannot believe my luck, also underground wiring with 220 service and lots of receptacles. The old guy worked the last 10 years of his life to build this and passed just as it was almost finished...no insulation but I can get it blown later. Both garages have oil spots in the middle of the floor, I need to clean them before bad winter sets in...what do you guys use ?
I have a good pressure washer but what degreaser to use ?
In the spring I plan on painting the floor with epoxy paint but there will just not be enough time before winter sets in here. I had thought about painting it black and then taping it off and paint it white over to produce the classic black and white square pattern.....but I could possibly paint a Porsche emblem on the floor....Ideas ??
I have to install some decent lighting , only three twin tube fluorescent fixtures in both garages and that is just not enough light for me.
Thanks
Dwight
