You missed an opportunity there, if you threw swmbo in the sewage would you get a replacement? Just asking for a friend.....

That's good Mick

Pleased to see it's been more or less resolved

Another quick update, in addition to the cement repair and painting, I have just bought 80 x 50cm square carpet tiles for £20 which I collect later today. Negotiations have been going on as I watch qualifying!!

Do you really need to be qualified to lay carpet tiles Mick?

First tip run under way. Got here 9.30 opens at 10, used to be 9!! Still using SWMBO'S car so all precautions taken!

I have now completed the tip runs with this being the last load:

: The last load!

: Garage disinfected throughout and now drying

: A great set of disposable brushes for floor painting, just £9.99 from the bay of evil!!

The steel plate is now laying over the manhole purely to better support the carpet tiles which I am collecting in a couple of hours!!

Hopefully it will be dry tomorrow so I can get on with prepping the floor although the cement won't be here until Monday.

Painting floors is easier with a roller on a broomshaft.
Just pour the paint out and spread it around.

If I had a suitable roller I probably would Steve but I buried all my painting kit at the back of the tent so cheaper to buy the brushes than a decent size roller. I probably will strap the 3" one to a pole

Window Squeegee, it spreads it well ........ then use your brushes.

I like that Alasdair thanks, I have one on a 2m extendable pole too so that's my best option so far. I have to repair some concrete damage first but hopefully painting could be on the cards by Tuesday!!

Ever since I ran my garage business I've been getting catalogues from this company.

Thanks Gibbo, that looks like a decent range but far too good for my garage. I will be 'floating postfix' over the rough concrete simply to flatten it, then painting with Johnson's Floor Paint which I have in stock and finally laying the superb carpet tiles I collected yesterday which I am exceptionally pleased with. Watch this space!!

Instead of postfix, worth getting proper self leveling compound instead Mick?
It's not super expensive from memory, I put some down on our kitchen floor
