looks very nice it reminds me of the garage my dad used to have at one of our old houses, something i would like in my back garden, i did have the use of two barns at my old house and a bit of land for car storage but have recently moved and 'downsized'

can i ask what the use is for, do you rally/race or work on cars yourself?

Looking good Mark. Did you seal the floor before you painted it? One of the mistakes we did was not seal it!

I did seal the floor Daz, in fact I used about 60 litres of pva to do so, the paint that i usedm strictly speaking does not need a sealer, according to Akzo Nobel (ICI-Dulux) then with it being a two part epoxy it hardens to the floor, at Ł33/litre - only available in 5 litre tins I would expect it to be good !

Epoxy is good and does last a lot longer than pikey floor paint but like you say, damn expensive. We just had a load of cheap paint left at work so I took a 25l drum home and just lashed that down. It was ok but after 8 years it's lifted in loads of places and needs painting again.

the B&D needs to be good with the size of the gardens here, though we have slightly reduced the back one at the far end, we brought it forward towards the house to compensate for the workshop & drive.
