@GateKeeper we looked at those epoxy kits too but went with the concrete paint instead...we washed, etched, washed...tons of dry time in between and it still flaked off...oh well...yours looks great...
Most sand topp9ngs wear off. You meed to reapply every year or two. Still better than wiping out.Looks great. I’ve heard you can throw in a heavy grain sand to the mix to add grip. I agree, the one downside of the epoxy floors is they are slippery as hell when wet.
I put a 6000W heater in the garage in the fall. Didnt need it this winter but it's there if I do. I would go bigger if I was doing it again. 6000 is in no hurry to raise the temp, just a warm breeze. This one was cheap and I had some spare wire to hook it up. About $100 installed for what I have.Goal this summer is to insulate and put heat into the garage. I still need to declutter more
If you dont have the panel in the garage I would just run a subpanel. 60 to 100 amp depending on how much capacity you have. Make all future garage projects easier.Ohhh ya, forgot the heaters, those need to go in as well, but need to run 220 to the garage, see it’s always something

Yes, No panel in garage, was going to run from main, to a sub panel, I'm just getting lazy
lights are in, even changed them to led tubes, but never wired them up, my projects are stacking up
need the 220 for the Cyber truck as well....

Unless your garage is reasonably well insulated most 240v heaters will struggle in the winter. At that point it's either "major overkill" (a gas furnace that just pumps out heat faster than the garage loses it) or something like the radiant solution I mentioned.
I'd like to put some radiant tube heaters in my garage to work under when I'm out there. They're not really designed to heat the entire space, just the area below them. And they do that really, really well. Reality is the garage as a whole could never be effectively heated without a lot of work including insulating and drywalling...which would then cause me to lose a huge amount of my storage space in the rafters and such.
