Nah it's ok.

I just think there's generally low incentive for lying about one's house (or one's anything that can be perceived as a reflection of wealth) on an internet forum, because at the end of the day we're all just a collection of faceless usernames.

I mean, the "worst" thing that can happen is random posters on an internet forum will think some other faceless, random poster on the internet "JiveTurkey" is maybe mildly affluent because he claims to live in a decent house. The satisfaction that one might get from lying about one's circumstance on an internet forum just seems so petty that I usually just give people the benefit of the doubt.

Got the keys last week.

Still haven't decided on what to do with the garage floor. I mostly want to eliminate dusting, and prevent stains if I spill anything during an oil change or brake fluid flush.
Sounds like ALL coatings, even professionally applied epoxy, are likely to come up after a few years.
The floor will likely do some settling in the next few years, so putting tile down right away will probably result in broken tiles.
I'm thinking of doing a penetrating silicone based sealer to help with dust and water, and just using lots of cardboard to catch spills when I'm doing work.

Any anecdotes about garage floor treatments that are at least 5 or 10 years old?

Granite. We put a granite floor in a friends garage and it looks like it did the day we installed it 15 years ago.

Love the Tundra. I actually just got rid of my F-150 for a Platinum CrewMax Tundra.

Oh, nice house too

And best of all, if you are heading out to a black tie affair where you have to wear those shoes that have absolutely no tread/grip on them... after you take the most breathtaking backwards flip on the granite floor because it will be like walking on ice, you'll get to sue Tonka because that's the American way.




Though granite would be pretty cool. Nevertheless, you are supposed to reseal it every few years (takes nothing to do), so why not go with ceasarstone if you are going to outlay a lot of cash for a floor?

I'm about to seal the floor on my new garage too. I decided to go with the Rustoleum epoxy clear coating with the stain. I've heard the stories about the colored sealant peeling up after a while and being very noticeable. So I chose the charcoal stain and clear instead. I figure if it does peel up in spots, it will be less noticeable and I can just add more clear epoxy to patch it.

Latest update pic of my house. They are doing the interior finishes now. 10 more days and it's mine.

LOL, no, not in the budget. I was thinking, ultimately, of 12x12 rectified porcelain if I could find enough on clearance sale somewhere for under $1/sqft.

You'll have to report back what you think about it once you're done with the coating. (Oh, and don't forget the anti-slip additive.)

The construction manager recommended putting a bit of sand down in the control joints of the floor, then filling the joint with Sikaflex self-leveling sealant.

Any plans for the driveway? We're new to Colorado - is there anything that can be done to help with snow/ice removal for a north-facing driveway? Sealing strikes me as a way to make it so slippery when wet that it'll be undriveable, but we've heard that the cold stuff won't melt away like on a south-facing driveway that gets sunlight. (And do they use salt here that we need to worry about?)
