The manly garage :)

Well, the garage is really starting to look nice. Jason and I spent some of this weekend and today cleaning and painting the garage floor.

Now, I need to stop and make a comment or two right....about....here. A lot of Jason's "projects" are met with a little resistance (okay, sometimes a LOT of resistance) from me. Painting a garage floor that I have NO intention of seeing a whole lot of (our cars sit in the driveway) really does not interest me. And, the baby's room is still in a HUGE mess...not that a lot can be done about that right now...long story involving old furniture, a twin bed with no mattress set, and an almost sold pool table.

However, I DO understand the garage makeover we are currently in the midst of. Since I moved in the house, I have somewhat (understatement) taken over the house. Knick knacks and candles sitting everywhere, no dead animals on the wall (those are in the garage and the attic)...you get the picture. Estrogen took over the house :) So, the garage is his last great escape...the last truly "man friendly" place in our home. And, since he has so graciously helped me make the house more girly, we are now sprucing up the garage so he has a nice...um, man room.

Anyway, we got Rustoleum Epoxy paint from Lowes. We cleaned and then painted the floor...and it looks great!! Actually, he cleaned. There were some fumes that he didn't want me to breathe, so I was banished to the upstairs to snap green beans for dinner...not that I put up a fight to clean the floor!! By the way, I have to mention that Jason is an excellent "sprinkler"! I couldn't put the sprinkles on right (hey, it is harder than it looks), so, I painted, and he sprinkled!
