The Great Garage Remodel of 2009! :)
My awesome friends Chet Lee and Malori (who was also my roommate at the time) helped me clean and paint my garage, then acid wash and Quik-crete my garage floor! Yes, I'm now the "envy of the neighborhood." ;) (What the Quik-crete video promised us.) This was a couple weeks before Thanksgiving 2009... during Chet's "No-shave November," Malori's last month at TU, and right before I ran my first Half-Marathon! :)
Step One: Deep Clean (this and the painting was supervised by my Mom)
Step Two: Paint!! ...Or pretend to paint for a posed candid shot with the cute mini-roller. ;)
Step Three: Watch Video and Gear Up! :) (...for Chet at least - we were just there for moral support on the acid washing)
Step Four: Acid Wash entire floor -- a more intense process than you might think!
Step Five: Stop for a fun dessert break at Melting Pot!! =)
Step Six: Quik-Crete the floor in small square segments...
Pour on flakes as you go! (Or "frolic with the flakes" as Chet called it. lol)
Step Seven: Take a cheesy "after" photo!
In a strange way, I'm actually looking forward to repeating this process next month at Malori's new house! :)
Side note: That Saturday morning was also my last day at FT training with Levi and Danny... :)
And somewhere during the craziness of that day, Chet also managed to plant some flowers for me. In a heart shape bc I thought that'd be fun! lol ❤
Love it!! =)
