New Garage Floor - what type?

----WOW, Jake! Where did you put all your stuff for the days needed. Just that moving of everything is why I probably won't redo my epoxied floor which seems to chip and scratch way too easily. Not happy...…..Bill S

Here is my shop floor I had done in 2004. Was a new slab that I let sit for a few months. Supposed to withstand everything etc. Expensive 3 part epoxy that looked great for a few years. Mind you this is not a working shop, just a place to park done stuff. After a few years, staining, lifting, hot tires pulled it up etc. Company that did it is no longer in business.

No but it was a big Co. The local guys came and ground the floor with a diamond grinder, did the base coat, added the flakes and then the clear coat.

I did it before my in laws came back north for the summer - all the big stuff went into their garage, and then I put most everything else on the patio with a couple of big tarps over the whole mess - which my neighbors appreciated I'm sure. Start to finish was about a week, so not too long.
