I like your style. Working on a 5.3 rx7 here.

Whats bringing you to the upstate? Greenville is a really nice area, until you look down at the roads, then it sucks. You have been warned.

Thanks!

The lady friend was offered an internal job transfer to a downtown greenville office - so we literally said "F-it , it will be exciting" And sold our current home in a week, and bought another one in Taylors ( we close on April 15th, so I'm still in NY for 2 more weeks).

I sold all my cars and looks like I'll just be bringing the Yamaha R1 down.

Once I know my telecommute is going to be viable with my current employer - or get a local job, I'll pick up something new to toy with. A locost 7 has been on the backburner for years and I think this is the place I'm going to put one together. We'll see, I have severe car ADD.

Nice Taylors is a nice area, I got my first house out here a couple years ago. It's equal distances to greenville greer and tr and it's away from woodruff road which is a PIA. Hope you like it, I'm sure you'll love the weather.

Rochester NY,

and I'm here! Moved in the new house Friday. Ordered a bunch of parts for the Yamaha R1 to cruise around in while I look for a new toy. In the mean time I've been getting the garage ready.Walls are going to be two tone white and gray with a navy blue divider. Should come out nice.

If you see a shipping POD on a street with a red bird when you turn in, 'tis I :-)

But I'm sure the NY licence plate gives it away too

Bill of materials ( all from Home Depot) The things that are not listed that I used were a pressure washer ( not necessary) and hose.
Bill of Materials

Steps

-Check for sealer (concrete should absorb water, you're SOL if there's a sealer, must be stripped or grinded)
-Sweep/pressure wash
-Scrub with degreaser
-Acid etch
-Apply epoxy coating/flakes



Pretty straight forward. 4 hours total with 3 hours in prep work.

I was quoted $1,500 for the job. I did it for just under $225 with double the tools so two people can tackle it /WouldDoAgain

You're more than welcomed to borrow some of the tools if you decided to go for it, can't think of a time I'd use acid brushes or rubber boots again. Just grab the consumables
