Home Depot. Heck, everything but the wax is from there. The floor had epoxy on it before for about 5 years. I removed the glaze layer with some degreaser and went from there. Tiles took a long time to dry in 70 deg weather. Still not too dry after 6 days, but I said screw it, she's going in tonight.

About a year ago at ToyRUs. They also have a pink conv. Do a search, there are a few posts of people talking about them.

Thank you. The little one in pink is mine. The other is a neighbor. Amazing what a little 2 year old can do, she actually did help with the glue clean up. It was her fair share. She likes to ride in the "fast" car with dad. Says mom goes too slow. So she need to do some work for her rides.

That's a heck of a job with the budget you had! Looks amazing! Only thing I'd do is go ahead and build a cabinet around that water heater and paint it white
