    I have done way more sq feet(more like miles) in factories. The best all around user friendly floor coating is Aqua tile. The stuff is extremely resistant to abrasion. Fork trucks used to run over the stuff. Also it levels out small cracks that the thinner floor coatings will not fill. You can use this stuff indoors without smelling like a chemical factory for days. Make sure the floor is clean. The stuff doesn't go real far per gallon, but it is done right; done once;) We have used this stuff in auto dealers garages, and show rooms.

    Don't forget THIS poster:

    No teenage boy's room was complete without it. A little pricey though (I wonder if I STILL have mine around somewhere?). :D

    I still have mine hanging up. It's a timeless classic.

    I couldn't believe it but I actually STILL DO have mine! :D

    Last year when my Dad passed away and we were cleaning out the closet in my old room, I found an old blueprint tube that contained almost all of the posters that were hanging in my room circa '74 through about '79. From what I could see, Farrah is in very good to near mint condition (no fade, small pin holes in the corners, no tears or "dog-ear" corners).

    Time to check e-bay. :D

    People are fetching pretty good prices on Ebay for those--and YES, of course I had Farrah as a teen.

    Updates:

    I am going to do a partial panel job (36" width) on the TV/stereo wall, I think that would be cool. I'm also ditching the free-standing bar idea for an "against-the-wall" type dry bar. I can get all the cabinetry from Sutherlands, and the counter top as well. This will also give me more room to work with.

    I was at a store in Talahassee a few years back that sold nothing but '70's style furniture, appliances and decorations. All replicas, but cool nonetheless. You would have been in seventh heaven Steve.

    DY-NO-MITE!!!!!!!
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore
