This Old Garage

July 23, 2024 by David Snodgrass

On this episode of This Old Garage, I rearrange all the work tables so I can set all three plywood flooring panels level and give them a couple coats of waterproofing primer. With all the crazy news of the day(s), I can select a chill playlist and get lost in my thoughts. A proper good retired guy activity.

I’ve already test fit the panels, so all I’ll need to do once the paint is dry is locate the mounting points and drill a few holes, then glue the plywood to the foam. I hope to have all this complete in a couple of days.

The bigger decision ahead will be selecting a flooring material to go on top of the plywood. I have a few options:

  1. Do nothing immediately. Wait until a few other construction steps are complete.

  2. Use a vinyl flooring remnant from Home Depot. They have rolls that will cover the entire floor available for about $50.

  3. Use two materials: vinyl flooring panels for the front and some rugged rubber coin flooring for the back.

With the differing options, the cost and ease of application are all over the map. Ponder ponder ponder.
