Free $100 gift card with orders over $500, ends Nov 28: https://growepic.co/3EmYyB6Thanks to the team at Perkins Custom Coatings for doing such an awesome job: https://www.perkinscustomcoatings.com/ As I researched ways to turn the garage into an EPIC workshop for the homestead, I came across polyaspartic garage floor coatings. Then I got into the whole polyaspartic vs. epoxy debate, and finally decided that YES, this is something I wanted for my garage.

A clean workspace that looks nice is essential if I’m going to be spending time building projects and working out in the garage, so I bit the bullet and went with a garage floor coating. This video chronicles the entire process start to finish so you can see the detail involved in a job like this.

For reference, the quoted price was $1,970 but the oil spill and extra torching, etc. boosted the price by $800, so it’s not a cheap thing to get done…but boy do I love the results.

In this video you will learn about one of the most critical (and beautiful) aspects of healthy ponds: aquatic plants! This will also kick off a new segment of videos, called “into the weeds“ where I go “into the weeds“ – too much detail about a certain plant or group of plants. While I do go into a fair amount of detail, there is so much to learn about aquatic plants. I did not discuss “oxygenators“ in this video primarily because I don’t have any in my pond, and I didn’t go into too much detail about hardy floating plants, the only floating plants shown were the tropicals such as water Hyacinth or water lettuce. I hope you enjoy this video, let me know your thoughts down in the comments.
