the floor is dry!!!
« on: December 02, 2009, 09:48:36 AM »
had the great idea to paint the workshop floor at the weekend :doh:

its took untill today to dry :lol: :lol:

during my enforced absence from the shed i've spent a bit too much time on the interweb :scratch:

i've decided to venture into building an engine of sorts :scratch:

decided to have a go at the EZ one from the HMEM site.

we'll see what happens :dremel: :dremel: :dremel:

Jimmy,

I intended to paint my garage/ workshop floor, after I laid it, in 1972...... There`s always been too many things standing on it since then!  ::)

Good luck with the engine build!  :thumbup:

I told the builder in 1982 "Make sure the floor is smooth because I am going to paint it!"  He did that and maybe I will be able to paint it before we try to sell the house (after moving all the treasure out!) :lol:

John

At least it wasn't all in vain. Being smooth made it easier to sweep. You did sweep it several times didn't you? :lol: :lol:

Cheers  :beer:

Painted is a pain is this weather. I`ve just had new facia boards put on the roof and they had to be painted. Then it rained about 30 minutes later!!!! They seem to have dried OK but I`ll inspect them in spring and maybe re-do them.

Glad your floor is now dry and you can get  :dremel: done.
