The Extra Costs. New boat home.

[Tuscany]

My garage floor is like that also. Be careful when it gets wet. It's slippery as all heck. Mine started to wear off about year 5. I love the looks and durability of professionally laid epoxy floors though. Most of our company shops are done that way. They last a long time. I wish I was thinking when we built I would have had it done right away. Your garage is looking beautiful though. I like the touches you've made to it. A well thought out garage forsure.

I wish I could take credit for the look, but this one of many areas where my wife Wendy shines a lot brighter than me .. she has designed almost everything we've built, including our store lay out and our house. She is just a natural at making something look and work perfectly. The garage took her all about 10 minutes to design the dormer, door style, colors, windows. I just tell her what I want, and she usually nails it on the first try.

My issue with an epoxy floor is this:
I plow snow. Not commercially, but for my parking lot, home etc.

Northerners can relate to this..
When I park the truck, all of the ice/sand/dirt crap, better known as snirt that collects in the wheel wells and undercarriage end up melting and falling on the floor in ugly dirty clumps. I simply back drag the floor with the plow and pull out most of the crap when I leave. My plow is over 1,100 lbs, and this would peel up that beautiful epoxy floor.
Imagine that thing on a nice floor.

I see. Good point. There's always a reason behind everything

I'm not a truck guy but I could certainly get behind that one, T. --especially during a Pittsburgh winter.

Beautiful!

Is that picture recent Tusc? The leaves are already down there?

[Tuscany]

No, last fall.
It's the only pic I had of the floor ripper..

We haven't owned cars in 35 years.. probably never will again.
I've always done my own plowing. Lake effect is the worst. I can plow our store four times in one day when it hits our area.

I'm still old school shovel.

Not even a snowblower!


Feel free to stop by T!

Haha, I plow a lot for free. Don't mind it at all.
One neighborly thing I can do. I hate to see older people shovel snow.

I want one! Man cave garage I mean, not snowplow super truck. Ok I want one of those too! Oh I hear you on the floor but a concrete stain then maybe with a sealer over? Won't peel up for sure. Looks good and especially nice touch for man cave party houses. I was going to mention at least garage floor paint/epoxy with sparkles but see be covered that pitch already. The stained is popular down here right now but mainly for residential mostly outside but some even inside.

See Tusc? It really doesn't matter what YOU want. It's all about what WE want. It's really about about US. Nobody can spend your money better than we can, because we really know what's best. For you. For US.

And when we get there, we're all going to line up and do the Conner McGregor strut around the inside, just like you do everytime you fill that bad boy boat up at the local gas station.

Sorry I guess that is why I can't watch that stuff. I really don't like him.

hahaha..
Love you guys.


I'm not a strutter either, although Connor does add some real spice, and I like watching him do his thing.

Truth be told, I still go out of my town to fill it up. Just not comfortable in a small town.
In Buffalo? Like your lakes, there is always a million people with a bigger boat, and in my case, this is still a cheap, small boat compared to what I see on our lake, but very few, almost zero late model Cobalts. Cobalt seems to be the exotic brand around here and it does get it's looks.

Isn't that odd. It's the same way around here but I'm trying to change that every year.lol
We have the perfect lake by us and still not represented very well here. I think the dealers are spaced too far apart.

[Driller]

See a lot of Cobalts on Lake Travis outside of Austin. Still not the most common, but a lot. Like T, there are a lot of bigger/nicer boats than mine. I think for me, mine is the right size. I do covet the 282 with dual 8.1s though. Alas, my HOA slip can only take a 26' boat. My slip neighbor has a 262, but it hangs out quite a ways, and doesn't set level on the lift. Skeg in slightly in the water with the trim all the way down.

After drooling over Matt's 282 I seriously looked at some. Twins would be awesome, but we only have 28 foot slips too. Plus I think a 282 is wider? Matt? An 8.6 beam is tight in our slips. Great for boarding, loading ect, but really bad for docking. You almost have to walk it in every time.
