Just a suggestion. You may look into staining the concrete to look like slate/rock or something, possibly even something artistic, before polishing. I don't know if that would work or not. I've seen some pretty crappy looking polished concrete at our local stores. That may just be because they started out with old and messed up slabs though. Or because of the company doing the work. Good luck.
She said Yes to going flying with absolutely no hesitation. Which does she like more? Flying or being with you? Either way you really did hit the jackpot.
You have the best music, of course the best cinematic footage as well. I truly enjoying watching you. You leave me feeling like “ I need to get more organized and plan and excite goals with purpose “ I know these thing but you just embody them and it’s a great reminder. Thanks Trent !
Polished concrete is fantastic,. We've done seven buildings thus far and they hold up very well and they're not slippery. Forklifts are on them with no damage. When you grind, use a vacuum attachment or you'll have fine dust everywhere. Love the lights!
Yes - polish those floors, that'll be way better. Slip resistance is similar to tile. Big box stores are going to PC partly because it reflects light better than anything, even when it's darker. Trent, I can get you hooked up with some machines in Reno.
There’s got to be a huge amount of satisfaction in doing mostly all the work yourself, Trent. I know people have helped in the construction, but the man- hours you’ve put in to realize your dream hangar/ toy shed is incredible. Gives me inspiration to tackle some dream projects.
I have ground and sanded concrete in my hangers. It’s fantastic and it’s really beautiful . It’s technically not "polished". It’s incredibly durable and almost nothing hurts it. And if it did, it would only add to the character … nothing to stress about. I’d never choose another flooring for my hangers. It turned out so good we’re using a slightly polished concrete in our pending remodel. I’d guess you’ll be thrilled with it over epoxy. It handles traffic really well. One thing I did notice … when my hangers were built the steel showed up red like yours. My GC had ordered it in black … he was really picky about the aesthetic. He made them repaint it all in black on-site … and I’m so glad he did. I had tried to tell him not to stress, it wouldn’t matter. It actually really adds to the fished building and the final aesthetic of the buildout being black. Congratulations on your building and success. Look at all you’ve done! Congratulations … blue skies! K
I did what might be kind of similar to what you have. I was grinding floors to put epoxy on and then it looked so cool that I don't want to cover it up. Mine is not smooth - kind of semi-rough which is what I want. It would be perfect if I could find something that would seal it without really changing the color or glazing it over There's the 'penetrating sealer' they use on polished floors but from what I have seen that doesn't really work to keep oil out. Maybe you get away with it if you wipe it up immediately but if oil drips somewhere and you don't wipe it up quick it will soak into the concrete.
When I did my floors it was in the early days of stained concrete which used acids. As you did … when working through the process I elected to refrain from a super smooth “polish” as it would have been too slippery on wet and humid days. And I didn’t want a polished shine as it would show dust, dirt, traffic. So after I got them smooth to my preface I played with spraying different layers of color for the finish I wanted. The first hangar turned out amazing. I used a flat, no sheen high solid sealer. You can look up all kinds online … high solid concrete sealer … but even some of the Home Depot stuff will suffice with maintenance every year or so. Get yourself a floor buffer / burnished. For the old fashion techniques. However … todays fully polished techniques get a color coat and that’s it. They’re amazing. No sealers are necessary unless you’re doing more. My floors can be seen in a pic on instagram.com/theairplaneco. Trent’s in a perfect place to start and have fun with his finish. I wanted to put some old diamond pattern tire prints through mine … like a warbird / P40 had been there. But I didn’t do it … your turn, Trent.
Just caught up on the last 4 months of videos. Glad I did. Happy for Trent and I think a lot of us live vicariously through him. The content is great quality. Just waiting a for a Microsoft Flight sim hanger update.
Awesome hanger and fundamentals Trent. I have been an admirer from wayyy up in Saskatoon Canada since the beginning, and like how you've built your flying life one step at a time from the ground up, and made a good life for yourself and loved ones. Can't wait to see what comes next! A trip to Canada maybe some day? I'm down!
COOL Trent,...... I've never seen lights like thisbut I guess the world around us is moving forward at a blistering pace,... might have to look deeper into this myself. Thanks Trent.
In terms of the brightness Trent something you could try is subdivide the lights into sections each with their own switch or remote so you can have some variety in your illumination.
I was actually just considering doing this upgrade in my own hangar! This has me sold. I am debating getting ones that can change color temperature and are dimmable though. Sometimes I don’t need the hangar to be blindingly bright.
Men!!! Good lights By the minute 5:00 you were arguing about epoxy or polished floor: My opinion: If $ is not a deal, go for a good/best epoxy If you work or/and thers a polibility of dropped oil, whater, soap, metal chips or whatever (gasoline... Coolant...) Go for epoxy If you whant a good clean surface Go for epoxy. And buy a good degraser and floor product Polished works good, but it doesnt get old as good. The same for cheap epoxy I learned this from Where i've worked for a couple of years Hope this helped you For me is a big deal epoxy floor
Definitely polished floors. They did it where I work and is very durable. You can spill oil or something on it and it doesn’t absorb it. Well I’m sure for a long time it might but short term it just wipes right off. I wouldn’t use epoxy if you gave it to me. Looks great too. Don’t know cost but I would pretty much say you won’t be disappointed. Buy once cry once kind of deal.
The polished floors I have seen will absorb oil and get stained by other spills even with the penetrating sealer they use. When you say 'short term' how long are you talking about?
Hey Trent, congratulations on the new hanger. Awesome project wishing you an Hayleigh nothing but the best appreciate all that you do. Thanks for taking us along.
We had polished & waxed concrete in our 4000 square ft shop for five years. Never once experienced it being slippery, but we kept it dry. Never experienced what it might be like with saw dust or anything like a fine powder though...might be an issue. We also used rugs at all the entry doors. So much easier to keep the floor clean if everyone wipes their feet.
Trent, I had my shop and hangar polished to 3,000 grit. I do not recommend it unless you want to work hard to keep it clean. My 3600 sf shop was built in 2011 and my 3600 sf hangar in 2015. I had then polished in 2016. Both were in North Idaho on pure sandy soil on high ground. Both had a vapor barrier under the slab. The cost was $24,000 for all 7,200 SF in 2016. The shop had 6 rooms. The hangar had 2. White efflorescence appeared on top of the polished concrete of both until at least when I sold them in 2019. As a RUclipsr it might be worth keeping on top of it, but figure you will need a floor buffer.
WOWSERS, TRENT ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Now I don't speak FRENCH, BUT....These lights just might be the "Piesta de Resitance" of the entire build ! ! ! ! ....(because according to Google, that famous french lingo actually means... "The MAIN DISH of the meal, or the SHOW PIECE of the event.) I personally like the spaces I'm in to be WELL LIT. And these beauties certainly do that ! I also like the arrangement of the individual lights to make that hexigonal shape. As soon as I saw it, it made me think of honeycomb, so maaaaaybe instead of the "Bat Cave" you could call your hanger your..... Backyard "BEE HIVE" ! But all of MY opinions and suggestions aside, THIS is one more VERY WELL DONE part of the multiple things you've built, Trent ! and THANKS for sharing it with the rest of us And tell Haley that it was good to see her flying again with ya !
Trent just found your channel. Flying is something I’ve always wanted to do. Getting the bug later in life. Starting businesses after years in corporate America. Maybe someday in the next few years, I’ll be contacting your flight school to get started.
Trent Thank you very much as always for sharing your knowledge, experience and fun with us. These lights are amazing looking and they make you hanger that much more attractive and awesome. Honestly,,,,, I don’t think that polished smooth slippery floors are a good idea at all. Lows has had enough slip and fall accidents with both customers and employees that they are trying to fix their floors to make them more grippy. My former son in law put down some awesome looking mop on Grey stuff that worked great and wasn’t slippery. Thanks again to you and your wife for sharing your achievements and flying experiences with us, great job explaining your lights from the air as much as you could, way cool plane, hanging, life, love and lights.
Hello Trent oh, I have started watching your video and I saw those lights come on. Then it dawned on me, you have a storybook life my friend. Well............ Back to the video.......... Thanks again for the great video.
Polish concrete is great but I would seal it still for spills. Polished concrete is less slick than epoxy for sure. Epoxy is slick as hell when it gets wet.
the main disadvantage to "polished" or even hard trowel is "spills" make slippery. heavy maintenance hangers mainline airlines tend to have simple light "whisk broom" finish with inexpensive penetrating sealant (as slips and falls of employees are expensive). polished or epoxy are both pricey with the floor area of a hanger but look really cool and are typically seen for showrooms and exec jet use. airlines will have epoxy in areas where acids are used as in a plating shop however
I polished and then acid stained my garage floor. It looks so cool. Next house I am doing it again. I painted my walls grey and my floor is this transparent brick red. The contrast with the vehicles makes my garage feel like a museum.
Looks to me like you have a second calling in the making 🤔 The ‘lessons learnt’ you have acquired since you began this project, when used to formulate ‘Best Practices’, can provide for helping an awful lot of folk, who adopt the ‘off airport’ flying experience (“Bush planes”) and want to hangar their aircraft on their property. Your expertise and experience - made available on commission - represents a significant opportunity for a compelling business model sought after by many inside and outside of the USA. South America and the Caribbean are ready for Experimental & Light Sport Aircraft and the support products & services required to make the ownership experience easy to manage. If that strike ever gets in the way of pursuing your livelihood, you know what you can turn to 😉 Excellent job with the Hangar 👏
Hey Trent i love the lights and hanger!! Well done! sorry if i missed it but do you have the link of the lights you purchased? Again keep up the great work and videos buddy!
What you're calling a "contactor" is what most sparkies would call a "relay". They've been replaced with solid-state devices in a lot of applications, but they're still the way to go for a lot of high-power situation.
Trent look into coval sealer after you polish the floors. It goes down as a sealer and top coat using a pump sprayer. No slip, clear, ceramic, nothing can soak into the concrete. Oil, rust, acid, paint, brake cleaner, nothing goes through it. You can wipe oil up a month later with a paper towel and it won’t have soaked in. Very easy product to use. Thank me later!
And I was just going to ask if Hailey had even SEEN the new hangar interior! Love the effect of that late afternoon light, long , low rays accenting the contours and producing warm colors. Love the hex lights! Well done!
You need plenty of light if you want to do good work. My barn when I bought it had one single light bulb in it. No good at all so I swapped it out for a number of LED 2 foot square lights which have done the trick. Great to have your plane at home for easy usage. Regards, Jim the Brit in NI UK
Man that lighting looks amazing! And the way it reflects of the cowling of the Freedom Fox? Just freaking Awesome! The Hangar is looking wonderful Trent, Congrats! Also so nice to see Hailstorm back in the air! We need more videos of you two flying together!
With the polished floors, you'll have the lights reflecting off of it for a mirror look! Nice work Trent, love your informative and friendly presentations. Fly smart and safely! =D=
Dang it now I want to take the two LED fixtures that I have in my garage down and put this in this stuff instead of adding another 2 or 3 fixtures... Great Video Trent!
Are polished concrete installing concrete countertops and you use beeswax to seal them and it'll actually allows a little bit of grippiness. I think it's actually a better look than the epoxy myself
We went with polyurea floors instead of epoxy. Didn't love the slickness of the concrete and the potential staining. Polyurea looks very similar to epoxy but its a flexible system so the durability is significantly better.
Great video! My first thought when I saw the thumbnail... TRON! 🤣 My second thought was AWESOME! You can (almost) never have too much light, glad to hear they are dimmable. Totally jealous of the airplane digs (and yours and Hailey"s digs in general)! Keep up the awesome content.
The lights are fantastic. Go with the polished concrete. I have both epoxy and polished in my basement. The polished is much better, but it is much more slippery when wet.
Great choice on lighting! 🙂 Hard work installing but WELL WORTH IT ! 🙂 FYI - You might be able to disconnect the 100% and 70% feature, once the floor is polished. The floor will reflect some light back up into the work space 🙂 I agree with other comments - you need runway lighting. LED's work for that, too. 🙂 Concrete apron ? ?
Done many fire stations with polished concrete where they actually wash the engines in the apparatus bay…with the right sealer it’s not slippery when wet.
Your lights look amazing, It's so nice to see hailey ahaven't seen her for a long time! Maybe if you promise not to do scary things while you're flying, she would be with you more! Always look forward to your videos, Thank you for taking the time to make them.
Very cool! Perhaps have the area in front of your garage door tared as this will prevent dust and mud from finding it's way into your hanger. Congratulations!
Now you need some landing lights for the strip on your land so when you leave and then come back at night, you can turn them on remotely
It needs a PAPI and center line.
If his plane has ADSB on board then it should be easy enough to rig up a receiver to switch them on when his plane is within a certain distance
A 1920s style beacon tower would be cool. To bad you couldn't turn on the beacon though.
and if someone needs it as an emergency strip.
@@maxtrue9744 There's a small regional strip near me that still has one of those beacons working.
Can you provide product details so we can purchase the honeycomb lights? Thanks Trent!
You guys nailed the decision on polished concrete vs epoxy, 100%
Doesn’t show dirt as bad. Polished is the best way
Swisstrax would look badass as well!
@@tymatt4555 - epoxy is just another "sealing" solution...
Just a suggestion. You may look into staining the concrete to look like slate/rock or something, possibly even something artistic, before polishing. I don't know if that would work or not. I've seen some pretty crappy looking polished concrete at our local stores. That may just be because they started out with old and messed up slabs though. Or because of the company doing the work.
Good luck.
See the dirt right outside the hangar? As soon as some ends up inside, a light dusting, that polished concrete is going to be as slippery as ice.
The lights are a bonus to a video with Hailey in it. We miss her flying with you Trent.
AMEN To that.!.!
She said Yes to going flying with absolutely no hesitation. Which does she like more? Flying or being with you?
Either way you really did hit the jackpot.
I was going to say that. It was great seeing Hail Storm in the air again
Very cool. Love the artistic side of it, and practical at the same time. Good lighting for making videos too!
You have the best music, of course the best cinematic footage as well. I truly enjoying watching you. You leave me feeling like “ I need to get more organized and plan and excite goals with purpose “ I know these thing but you just embody them and it’s a great reminder. Thanks Trent !
The lighting looks fantastic! The interior and the exterior! Very well done! Hailey volunteering to fly was an added bonus! Thanks, Trent and Hailey!
The hanger looks amazing and the lighting is stunning. Can’t wait to see how the floors turn out!
Does he post an affiliate link for the lights?
@@my_channel_44 No, but look for "hex led lights" or "hexagonal led lights".
Polished concrete is fantastic,. We've done seven buildings thus far and they hold up very well and they're not slippery. Forklifts are on them with no damage. When you grind, use a vacuum attachment or you'll have fine dust everywhere. Love the lights!
Next level lighting for a next level hanger. It does look cool.
Yes - polish those floors, that'll be way better. Slip resistance is similar to tile. Big box stores are going to PC partly because it reflects light better than anything, even when it's darker. Trent, I can get you hooked up with some machines in Reno.

Awesome hanger the lights are bomb and I agree with the polished concrete is most definitely the best option
So cool !
I hope all those gorgeous changes will show up in Microsoft Flight Simulator !!!
COOL Trent,...... I've never seen lights like thisbut I guess the world around us is moving forward at a blistering pace,... might have to look deeper into this myself. Thanks Trent.
Great video, totally refreshed my crush on Hailstorm!
Find my way by Space Camp was a perfect choice for that shot! Love the new lights my friend.
Speaking from experience. Epoxy and gravel won’t mix…it’ll be torn up in no time. Lights look awesome
Polished concrete is definitely the way to go. It’s durable and easy to clean, and looks professional. 🤙🏼 BTW, the lights are EPIC!
In terms of the brightness Trent something you could try is subdivide the lights into sections each with their own switch or remote so you can have some variety in your illumination.
We are so enjoying the hanger!! A thing of beauty from across the hill! Love the new lights - good job, you are bringing a smile to the old folks! ❤
I was actually just considering doing this upgrade in my own hangar! This has me sold. I am debating getting ones that can change color temperature and are dimmable though. Sometimes I don’t need the hangar to be blindingly bright.
Those are awesome looking! What a transformation.
Men!!! Good lights
By the minute 5:00 you were arguing about epoxy or polished floor: My opinion:
If $ is not a deal, go for a good/best epoxy
If you work or/and thers a polibility of dropped oil, whater, soap, metal chips or whatever (gasoline... Coolant...) Go for epoxy
If you whant a good clean surface
Go for epoxy. And buy a good degraser and floor product
Polished works good, but it doesnt get old as good.
The same for cheap epoxy
I learned this from Where i've worked for a couple of years
Hope this helped you
For me is a big deal epoxy floor
Wow just made me so happy for you Trent, Hailey is that other breath of fresh air for all of us. The two of you are just so much fun to watch. Thanks

Hi Trent,
That was a great video. You definitely have it all. Dreams can come true.
Enjoy that beautiful homestead and family.
Take care,
Be safe.
Great content, nice to see your better half and the lights are awesome, polished concrete is big work but incredible rewards.

I had then polished in 2016. Both were in North Idaho on pure sandy soil on high ground. Both had a vapor barrier under the slab.
The cost was $24,000 for all 7,200 SF in 2016. The shop had 6 rooms. The hangar had 2.
White efflorescence appeared on top of the polished concrete of both until at least when I sold them in 2019.
As a RUclipsr it might be worth keeping on top of it, but figure you will need a floor buffer.
Nice chatting with you today right after your interview. If you ever find yourself near NH, let me know and I'll take you flying.
Those lights are EPIC. the black backdrop then the honeycomb pattern make them standout especially in the thumbnail. Awesome flying, awesome video.

Looks to me like you have a second calling in the making 🤔
The ‘lessons learnt’ you have acquired since you began this project, when used to formulate ‘Best Practices’, can provide for helping an awful lot of folk, who adopt the ‘off airport’ flying experience (“Bush planes”) and want to hangar their aircraft on their property.

Excellent job with the Hangar 👏

Hey Trent i love the lights and hanger!! Well done! sorry if i missed it but do you have the link of the lights you purchased? Again keep up the great work and videos buddy!
Congratulations Trent
That looks really good. And the couple in the Kit-fox. Nice
Dude ... "Bat Cave" ... the ULTIMATE MAN CAVE!!! So Cooooool!!! Very Inspirational. Two thumbs up ... Congratulations from CYQT.
Hopefully you take a step back and enjoy the incredible place you have built. Just phenomenal!
With epoxy you can add sand to make it non slip. I think polished is quite slippery if you wash your plane inside.
What you're calling a "contactor" is what most sparkies would call a "relay". They've been replaced with solid-state devices in a lot of applications, but they're still the way to go for a lot of high-power situation.

Same. I'm hoping to put them in my workshop
They look spectacular!
That grey rubberized floor "paint" is going to be my pick. It's fun to get to hangout with you guys while you fly. Hangar is beautiful dude !!!
Love Josh Garrels!! Wow!
Those views are so beautiful. One of the many reasons why I fly. Onya mate for sharing. Lights look awesome too!
Those lights are the bomb man. So good.
Nice to see Haley enjoying a cruise with you.
Man that lighting looks amazing! And the way it reflects of the cowling of the Freedom Fox? Just freaking Awesome! The Hangar is looking wonderful Trent, Congrats! Also so nice to see Hailstorm back in the air! We need more videos of you two flying together!
@-TrentonPalmer stupid bot
I'm glad you didn't bail on the hex grid lights, they look really amazing!
Get the concrete acid etched ! Patterns colours and designs are all avaliable in concrete
From a earthly hangar, to space hangar. Awesome Trent, great job. Respect
Dream hanger for sure. Just wow. Love it. Thanks for sharing!
Most amazing hanger I have ever seen! Now you need to shoot a sci-fi movie in it!
Those hanger lights are incredible.
With the polished floors, you'll have the lights reflecting off of it for a mirror look! Nice work Trent, love your informative and friendly presentations. Fly smart and safely! =D=
0330 sat morning coffee and Trent to start my O/T day lol ♥️♥️👍👍
Very nice!!
Leave the lights on 100% at night and you have your beacon. Just a few runway lights and you’re set.
The Hailey scream is priceless too.
Wow! That look amazing!!
Toys and a place to put them - impressive work you've done
Dang it now I want to take the two LED fixtures that I have in my garage down and put this in this stuff instead of adding another 2 or 3 fixtures... Great Video Trent!
Are polished concrete installing concrete countertops and you use beeswax to seal them and it'll actually allows a little bit of grippiness. I think it's actually a better look than the epoxy myself
Whoever does the editing and music for these videos is an absolute genius. Brilliant work.
Polished floors are slippery-er than owl shit when it's wet.
Like walking on ice.
EPOXY! 100%.
We went with polyurea floors instead of epoxy. Didn't love the slickness of the concrete and the potential staining. Polyurea looks very similar to epoxy but its a flexible system so the durability is significantly better.
WOW!! That's AWESOME!!
Great video! My first thought when I saw the thumbnail... TRON! 🤣 My second thought was AWESOME! You can (almost) never have too much light, glad to hear they are dimmable. Totally jealous of the airplane digs (and yours and Hailey"s digs in general)! Keep up the awesome content.
Man Trent, what an awesome, relaxing video to wrap up a busy weekend for me. Thanks, and it was a special treat to see Hayley! 🥰
The lights are fantastic. Go with the polished concrete. I have both epoxy and polished in my basement. The polished is much better, but it is much more slippery when wet.
Wow fantastic job, good for you!
Great choice on lighting! 🙂 Hard work installing but WELL WORTH IT ! 🙂 FYI - You might be able to disconnect the 100% and 70% feature, once the floor is polished. The floor will reflect some light back up into the work space 🙂 I agree with other comments - you need runway lighting. LED's work for that, too. 🙂 Concrete apron ? ?
Done many fire stations with polished concrete where they actually wash the engines in the apparatus bay…with the right sealer it’s not slippery when wet.
Your lights look amazing, It's so nice to see hailey ahaven't seen her for a long time! Maybe if you promise not to do scary things while you're flying, she would be with you more! Always look forward to your videos, Thank you for taking the time to make them.
Awesome lights! I was hoping for a visual update on the mess left at BM. Take care.......
Coming soon!
Very cool! Perhaps have the area in front of your garage door tared as this will prevent dust and mud from finding it's way into your hanger. Congratulations!
That was Rather illuminating.... Looks so cool
teaching Tech did this to his garage -- awesome
dude that looks amazing. Cyberpunk cave!
