I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
I worked with a guy that did that in his kitchen, but he only used nice shiny new pennies. He painted the subfloor black, placed every penny heads up (and pointing in the same direction) then poured polyurethane over the entire floor and allowed it to self-level. I never saw it in person, but the pictures were great. He said it would pretty much glow when the morning sun hit it just right.
I wouldn't have the patience to do it, but I've kept it in mind for a much smaller surface like a bartop or coffee table.

not bad for mile 25
That is nice, if pricey. I didn't see a photo of the finished floor, though.
You can see a photo of the finished floor on their main page ...

I had a friend who used this method for their college house bar with bottle caps.

So bittersweet,This tragedyWon't ask for absolution;This melody,Inside of me,Still searches for solution.A twist of faith,A change of heart Cures my infatuation.A broken heart, Provides the sparkFor my determination.
Go get a better picture of it.
'Prec.
Will do. Hopefully I won't drop too much $$ while there.
This is definitely cool, but I don't think we can wear it.
Not nearly as cool as the $30,000 floor...
Now I know where I could fit my deep freeze. I should just install in the crawlspace flush with my kitchen floor. BRILLIANT!

Actually, I've always wanted to do a root cellar that way.
If I ever get a wine cellar, it will be when we build a storm shelter under a screened porch out back accessed via a trap door in the floor. I will probably not bother with the spiral stairs though.
