I love the wood trim around the windows. Very impressive.

If you have the means, go ahead and get the sliding saw. You may not use it often, but having that capability when you need it does wonders.Miter Saw recommendations. Is sliding capability necessary?
Thanks for the responses. I think i'm going to give Craftsman a chance. Seen some good reviews on a 10" slider at Sears. The dewalt i borrowed from a friend to do some trim work did a good job. A laser would have helped and kept me from having to drop the blade a few times to make sure i was lined up properly. Whats the old phrase, "line up 4 times cut once"?
can you post a link to the product? Am in the market myself.

They have a 12" model that is very similar for $249 right now.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who was trying to figure out a way to buy one for myself.That looks like a really good purchase.
Next step is the epoxy. I've gone back and forth about which brand to use. Was almost set on using the Rustoleum Professional line, but am not entirely sold as it isn't a 100% solid based epoxy. I think I'm going to get the epoxy, epoxy primer(not sure about this yet), and paint chips here http://www.carguygarage.com/epgafl.html
Have any of you done this yourself?
I epoxied my basement and garage when I built my house, using the Rustoleum Professional line. Its pretty simple to use, just make sure that the floor is cleaned and degreased prior to applying the epoxy. The one mistake I made was not mixing all of the coloring together from the get go. They came in 1 gallong increments. A couple of the gallons had a slight tint than the rest, so there are places that look slightly off. If I had it to do all over again, I'd figure up how much I'd need, put it in a 5 gallon bucket, mix it all together then apply.
I put it down on new concrete. So far its been very durable. The only places that have worn down are where the tires sit while the vehicles are the parked. I think a lot of that is from the friction of turning the front tires, which would have eventually worn down the concrete anyways.
Definitely spend the $$ and get the epoxy with the grit in it. Otherwise, its treacherously slippery when wet.
