With my double garage, thats a bit over $1200.  More than I can spend right now.  Maybe there is an alternative, like concrete paint or something.  I know it's not as good, but my floor is full of stains, not sure what it is.  Not oil stains.
It is a concrete floor , why worry about , if you don't have the money

I will be insulating/drywalling it soon.  I am in the garage daily, it looks like crap.  Figured something was better than nothing.

Do not buy that epoxy crap they sell at homepedot. It will peel off in a year or 2.  Go see the reviews of the epoxy on the home DepotUSA website.   The one i use is Purepoxy. But there are other ones like Terra or versatile.  They are commercial grade and extremely durable.  They use it for high traffic place like leisure centre or even hockey room showers. They last forever

It’s home! And the pleasant surprise — 21.5 L/100km towing it home. Mind you at no faster than 90 km/h but still.

Matterport 3D camera, wasn’t cheap to purchase but has a lot of good uses. My main income stream has been doing 3D tours for realtors. I’m trying to get businesses onto Google Street View as well and we can also overlay this data into programs like Revit to do architectural and engineering modifications.

Here’s some homes I did:

Nice trailer.

But those 3D drawings just blew my mind.

Looks like a nice layout on that trailer. Going camping for Easter weekend?  The kids must be thrilled.

Homes that have 3D tours sell faster than the homes they compete with. I’m getting some steady work among a few realtors and I haven’t even tried hard to market myself yet because it’s not my main job.

Thanks! The layout and price sold us, we didn’t think we would buy a trailer that weekend. I call it the Dodge Grand Caravan Canada Value Package of trailers.

My siblings decided to come for the weekend so no bueno on going out of town this weekend, but we are going to go to Kelowna next weekend instead and we’re going to sleep in the trailer outside their AirBNB to make sure everything works. My youngest wanted to sleep in the trailer last night though so we did.

It's called Camp Driveway!

Or in your case, camp curbside.  You can actually get away with it because you don't have any slides.

Maybe you should be visiting RV businesses to drum up business!
