Next up was the floors, we went with a metallic epoxy floor. The result was amazing.
After sanding and priming the floors (also track lighting was finally installed)
Pouring the base layer:

Outstanding!!!
Very interesting technique on the floor. I have to ask it appears when he is spreading the “gold” he is wearing spikes on his shoes obviously it is still wet at this time. Does the product naturally level and fill in those voids?

Very, very nice! Love the floor!
Yes, the epoxy naturally fills in and levels itself. There is about 40 minutes of working time before it becomes too sticky to work with. There is definitely an art to working with it.

I agree with Wheels. Beautiful room.

And the final product. I'll get some closeups of the floor. They still need to seal it so I didn't want to walk on it much.
Wow! Really impressive floors. I was not familiar with that.
I'm taking copious notes on your project for my future trophy room!

Good afternoon,
I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.
