Quoted from Deaconblooze:Oh that's interesting... do you have pictures to share?
I've considered it for my garage. I wonder how you clean out all the sentiment that falls through. Maybe the idea is that you don't have to, but with our winters I worry it could be more of a mess than a normal floor.
I sent you a long rambling PM 
Short answer is that our pics are here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/91696572@N00/albums/72157628393138865
Installed 8 years ago and it's still great!

Quoted from yzfguy:If there is really a flooring that collects opinions, I want it!
lol, i messed that up on a couple of levels. corrected!
Quoted from SilverUnicorn:RaceDeck flooring for the win!
We have that in our basement. Switched to it after the flood destroyed the laminate wood. Great product! Oh, and nice Mustang! (and good beers too).

Okay I have a question about RaceDeck....are there enough slots in the bottom that I could hose out sand and silt in the spring time that has fallen off the truck in the winter? The stuff that has fallen between the top and the cement.

Yes it’s very easy especially if you have free flow. I have it in my garage; not my house if that matters.
Quoted from PanzerFreak:That's cool about the negatives, I'm about to do something similar with old 35MM slides. A lot of the ones I need to scan have some dirt build up that I notice after scanning them. I ordered some Photographic Solutions PEC-12 Photographic Emulsion Cleaner off Amazon and cleaning wipes. It's going to take a long time to do but hey we have more time at home now right lol.
I'm also using this time to convert old home movies on VHS to digital and organizing digital pictures from over the past two decades. I have all of the photos on a NAS in RAID 5 but I'm now uploading the family pictures and video to One Drive to ensure I never lose them. My plan to is to create a shared folder on One Drive where family can pull the video and pictures they want. Figured its time I finally get this stuff organized and shared for family as otherwise no one will ever see it.
Man, just sold a Nikon Super Cool scan 9000 scanner that would be perfect for those slides. I'm using Epson 650 now, considered getting the fluid trays that gets rid of all specs. Its a messy process but fluid scanning is the best you can ask for on a Flatbed.
I’m more and more inspired by people sharing game room/ garage flooring options.
Am I staying sane in quarantine? 
Still plugging away with basement renos. I had a 32" rough opening for a standard 30" door going into the furnace/storage room but with low heating ducts the door would have had to swing into the room and I really didn't like that look. So yesterday I rewired a junction box, cut a larger opening and installed some sliding doors I had in the garage. I cut and stained all the door jambs and trim the previous day and it turned out great imo. Still have to install some baseboard but i was beat by the time i snapped this pic.

Sorry I just removed them.
Quoted from dmacy:Sorry I just removed them.
I wish you hadn’t, Im literally looking for ideas on a garage flooring project if the lockdown continues!
I am getting the pressure test of being with someone 24/7 again. My fiancée.
This will make us all stronger in many ways, if we let it.
My fiancée and I; we have many differences, but she is the one for me. Pressure test in progress.
Quoted from mark532011:Pretty sweet, are those actual 45’s or did you pick all the songs?
Plays 45's. Bought it new about 30 years ago.

I grabbed three four foot long boards from my cedar pile and planed them to the same width then ripped them into 1/4" strips. Cut and glued them all down. Just waiting for the rain to stop to finish cutting the trim for it. Looks like a card table.20200426_130414.jpg
Having leftovers I decided to trim out the window jamb as well20200425_134842.jpg
Took a walk outside after working on some tough battery damaged boards. Time consuming and my eyes hurt looking at them.
Quoted from Foo:Wood working....[quoted image]
Tried my hand at this on a more primitive level (don't have all the fancy tools for things like corner rounding and what not).
Built myself a bench press. Was going to try my hand at a power rack, but one became available and I put that project on a back burner.
Also made a dead-lift station. Kept it in 3 separate pieces to make it more transportable. Stained it and coated it in a protective polyurthane.
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Hung the light this morning. Better get the table set up soon as I've already walked into it 3x[quoted image]
It’s looking great bud! Nice work
Quoted from sixtyfourbits:It’s looking great bud! Nice work
Thanks man. You'll have to stop by on one of your Edmonton trips when this pandemic shit is over
Had an old dental bridge fall apart last night. Have to go to the dentist this morning.
At least it's something to do.

Are dentists open where you are? They're not considered essential services up here and offices are closed.
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Are dentists open where you are? They're not considered essential services up here and offices are closed.
They're only open for emergencies. No cleanings, etc..
Edit: I will say, I didn't know what to expect when I called. Someone actually answered and I had a choice between a 10:30 or 11:30 appointment this morning. Maybe I caught them on the one or two days they're in?
Spending lots of $$$ at CPR and Marco. I have 3 play field swaps, two cabinet repaints, and one clear coat to do. I'm good for the next 6 months.

Quoted from o-din:Painting the picket fence I built ten years ago between the days and hours of the usual mischief. One section left to go.[quoted image][quoted image]
Looks good Odin. Via spray or big brush applications. Are you doing single coat?
Quoted from chad:Looks good Odin. Via spray or big brush applications. Are you doing single coat?
Thanks!
I originally thought I was smart using oil based paint which even then you could not get of good quality here. So it is pressure washing, scraping, sanding, priming and top quality exterior water based paint now.
Applied with a 4 inch hot dog roller. One coat each primer and paint and going back over spots that look like they need it. Lotta work in the hot sun, so I take a few days off between sections. Figure I have a few more weeks before it gets real hot and the bugs come out and ruin my job.
Quoted from Mr68:Seems like I can always find some way to entertain myself.
Oh dear jeezuz.

Very nice! Seeing that picture has now lead me down the hole of researching jukeboxes.

Taught nethawk86 how to shoot a compound bow today in my back yard. [quoted image][quoted image]
Nice backyard!!
When you can't go to the gym, bring the gym to you!!!

I hand-made the dead-lift station and the grey bench. Wasn't paying $600+ for the DL station and over $250 for a bench and wait 10+ weeks. Pfft.
Between that and my Masters, I make sure I am staying busy. About to get my other "fun car" back after the wheel decided mid-drive that it was simply going to come off the hub. It was great coming home from a deployment, buying that car, and then that happening 29 days later. Almost made me an alcoholic in one evening flat.
