House help
I've talked with a few of you guys over the last few months that have said you might be willing to help me out at my pad. So here's the deal...
Friday I'll be down at the new house cleaning out the garage. I'll then degrease and scrub the hell out of it. Sat morning I'll be out there to acid etch it and tape it off.
Sunday morning I'll be out there to epoxy coat it. I could use help with the epoxy part if anyone has ever done this sort of thing. i have not. I really don't want to screw it up. So if you have any friggin idea how to do it and are down to come out let me know. I'm sure I'll have enough beer on hand to keep us all happy.
If you feel like being out there friday or sat that's fine too. I could use a hand any day. I've got a few heavy things I gotta move out of there.
After that I'll be moving so if any of you guys has a truck and might be down to let me borrow it or come help move things for a few hours the weekend of April 6th let me know.
I do the best I can to be there for other folks and I don't ask for help all that often. But I don't have a truck so moving sucks. And I don't know WTF I'm doing with this garage thing and I hate to slap it on there and have it come off in a few months.

I can't make it this weekend but pencil me in for the 6th. If you have space I can ask the boss to borrow a 24' truck. It is 13'6" tall. I just need some cash for diesel.

Dang, boonies lol. I have a big truck, but unfortunately I am busy with family on the 6th (brother's wife is preggers with twins, baby shower/family gathering is that day).
My chick's brother did his garage and he said just follow the directions and it worked out great. Griots has this stuff that is for cleaning the concrete before applying that stuff, so if the degreaser you have is like that, I don't think it will be an issue. Mann might actually have it in stock too.

Definitely can't help Friday, but Sunday is a possibility, especially since I will be doing this to my garage as well.

Where I'm at now.... that's the boonies. Dirt roads. No neighbors. Etc. That's why we're getting the heck out of there.

I have a dirt driveway LOL, but our roads are mostly paved 
Still only ~6 mi from Starbucks though 
No neighbors is a good thing.......most of the time
