Do it yourself. Several years ago before we moved, we divided our basement into three sections for a laundry/furnace room, garage, office/guest room. We bought some of the epoxy-based floor finish and it worked great. I was all set to tackle the job one Saturday and woke up sick in the night, so my wife did it herself. She said it was simple, and it looked great.
As for my build queue, I have an Astron Farside ready for primer, ditto for the FSI Maverick. I have a Centuri Tiger Streak painted and ready for decals, my Gyroc needing only the elastic attached, an Orbital Transport from 2001 that needs a final coat of primer, and an Estes Mini Shuttle ready for decals.

As I should be, I am preparing for some Sky Aye builds, in particular those that don't require a lot of pre-tooling to get what's been designed. Below is a pic for your perusal - from L to R, top and bottom rows matches the list below:
Sapringer A-O
Bulldog 24-D
Terraphobia
Red Baroness
Levitar
Classic
Brahmos
Kamenatya LEO
Starpedo
Point Blank
Starbound

The Starbound - as you can see in the second pic - existed once. victim of an unfortunate accident involving a bookshelf... It was meant to fly on a D, and will eventually.

And now I have a Centuri Tiger Streak painted, decaled, and ready for flight.



It's not perfect. The "STREAK" part of the decal apparently broke while I was applying it, and it was dry by the time I noticed. It doesn't stand out, but it has a definite angle to it.



The decal also printed out slightly oversized, so it took a little bit of surgery to get it to mount around the launch lug. It also overlaps. but when it's on the pad, I doubt anyone will notice.



I picked up a couple of packs of A8-0 boosters at our club launch on Saturday, so with the appropriate weather luck, this might actually fly on Sunday.

Nice looking rocket. ROCI is having it's last launch of the year tomorrow at AMA in Muncie. We are putting on a build and fly for kids that come to the AMA event. They are celebrating the return of a model they made for NASA. Hoot gibson and a couple of other NASA folks will be there.

I finished the Laser Lance and Stratocruiser today. Not terribly impressed with the decals, but both of them turned out nice.





With any luck, these also fly tomorrow.

Oh, I'm a slow moving machine. The Stratocruiser is from this past spring and the Laser Lance has a couple of months on it as well. Still, it's always nice when my ADD subsides enough to actually let me finish one.

Those look great! I'm pretty slow at finishing builds myself. Lots going on. We just had a baby daughter on the 11-16-12 so now I have two boys and a girl! In addition to the other irons I have in the fire the rockets generally take the back burner!

Great looking builds!
