Next, apply the bar top epoxy you're talking about, and since I'm talking out my ass, you would be near the same price as say a cherry or hickory hardwood floor.

The labor is what is going to kill you on this floor, not the materials.

I think bmock posted up that blog as kind of a "hey this is cool, check this out" rather than a serious alternative for a kitchen floor. Kinda like cork and carpet were also mentioned. Who the hell has carpet in their kitchen?

I'm waiting to hear what fightingfish is actually thinking about using.
What is "cement board"?

I think fightingfish forgot about this thread long ago and the mock guy has been resurrecting old threads just for the sport of it, not really with the intent of adding any meaningful content of any value.
