Custom ordeal.

Image supplied by a former tenant of mine, lives in Germany now and gets to go to all the good stuff. He's going to be putting a book out of some of it. Great guy.

Thinking about flying back in the April/May timeframe to drive it home - should be a another great trip!

(PS - weather has to be good so we can have another Bar-B-Que at McGowan's)

Floor is finally redone. The problem was that the original company could not get the floor level or adequately sealed off so they endlessly ground it, then used about 4x too much sealer to try and mask over it which only made it full of streaks and impossible to burnish. The pics did not remotely show how bad they were. It was not good. Looks 100x better now. Can see full vehicle reflection in the floor without a bunch of footprints coated in.

Audio is plenty Andy. Those 12 speakers provide quite a bit of volume. Will probably add a couple speakers to the main TV by the bar because it gets pretty tinny.

A very special delivery is coming tomorrow afternoon. Will add pics when it arrives.

Dave, how's the durability/ease (or lack thereof) of maintenance? What sealant did you use?

I'll have to look but the floor is pretty easy. Almost no maintenance at all.

Thanks. Been told some conflicting info. I was told that polished concrete isn't very stain/scratch resistant. I would assume a good sealant would provide protection against moisture (oy, the Gulf Coast humidity) and against all but the most caustic fluids. Think it looks great, and with the added benefits of not needing any other materials, I would imagine it's also very cost effective.
