Changing of the Epoxy Flooring Template

January 31, 2011 Destruction

There’s going to be a switch-up in the look of the blog here soon, if I can get my way. You may be thinking, “Why if you get your way? Don’t you just do whatever you want to on that blog anyway?” The truth is, yes – I do. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to [...]

Sorry About the Bears, Chicago

January 24, 2011 Misc

As you may or may not know from reading this blog or following Floorguard’s Twitter, I’m not actually from Chicago. While I spend many a day here now, I’m actually a Cleveland native, which means while I certainly feel bad for people I know in the area, you people have not truly suffered in the [...]

Battery Acid is Eating Away the Garage Floor

January 17, 2011 Destruction

I enjoyed my old post about a garage floor in need of repair, so decided to do some searching on horrible garage stories. Searching around, I found myself in this message board thread, wherein a woman discloses the following problem. My husband charges his golf cart in the garage. In doing so, the battery acid [...]

Chicago Epoxy Flooring and a Picture of Popcorn

January 10, 2011 Chats

Toward the start of the month is the most relaxing time to not have anything to blog about with regard to epoxy garage flooring. I figure if I’m going to get fired, it’ll be in a “let’s see if he can turn it around by the end of the month” sort of fashion. Anyway, last [...]

A Blog Post That’s Not About Chicago Epoxy Flooring

January 3, 2011 Chats

(My niece colored this for me.) It’s post number one of 2011 on the garage flooring blog, and already I’m searching for topics. Not only that, but we’re yet again waiting for before/after pictures from the higher powers of the company. I supposed it’s a bit of a misnomer to say “we” – I’m just [...]

Facebook Check-Ins and Your Garage

December 27, 2010 Facebook

I’m trying to figure out how in the world to utilize the excitement of the Facebook Check-in features for Floorguard. We’re not an actual retail location, nor are we a business you’re likely to be a repeat customer of on any short-term basis, unless you have multiple homes. The only option I can think of [...]

Auto Detail Shop in Chicago, IL

December 15, 2010 Before & After

Finally some new pics from the bosses. This is how the job was described. This location had been un-used for several years. The new owner has turned it into a very stylish Auto Detail Shop and showroom for his restored muscle cars. We installed our eye popping Charcoal Granite full broadcast system here. It’s classic [...]

Placing the Flakes in Epoxy Flooring

November 28, 2010 Flooring

I made a joke last week about the viability of strategically placed flakes on epoxy flooring. The Before/After shots from the above-linked post had what are known as “random flakes”, and I suggested there might be such a thing as “strategic flakes”. Since the quality of my work here will likely mean I’m never actually [...]

Decorative Trim Showroom in Chicago, IL

November 22, 2010 Before & After

It’s always a happy day when I get new Before/After pictures from the home base. I don’t know if Before/After is supposed to be capitalized, and getting the new pics makes me too excited to care. Here we go – this is a recent industrial job done for a decorative trim showroom of some kind. [...]

The Dirtiest Garage Ever

November 8, 2010 Flooring

Poking around Twitter, I came across the Flickr photo account for Construction Gone Wild!. (The exclamation point is their addition, although I would’ve added it if they hadn’t already.) It contained possibly the grossest garage I’ve ever seen – this is a wider shot: If that doesn’t set the stage enough, this is the caption [...]
