Talking Getting the Garage ready >>>>

As I wait for the car to get back from Europe, thought I'd make myself useful and start prepping the garage

Next on the list:
- Finish the floor under the sink and around the pole
- Buy and install some shelves
- More lighting

For those wondering about the Red tiles vs the Orange wall, I had a change of heart on the tile color. I am ordering matching orange tiles to replace the red ones.

I paid $1380 for 20x20 garage. If you call them, there are good deals to be had. Don't just blindly order from the website. If you are interested pm me and I will give you info for my my contact at SwissTrax.

By the way, I did multile tests on samples from both swisstrax and race deck before deciding on swisstrax. They are far superior to race deck.

That's actually pretty reasonable. Thought it was far more expensive than that

The floor is easily the best money I have ever spent on a garage. It is little to no maintenance. The floor always looks clean. I use a shop vac only once a month to pick up dust/debris that may have fallen through but almost never come up with anything more than just dust. I can walk bare feet in the garage, lie down on it while working under the car and my clothes stay clean. In the winters I drive in with snow on my tires and it melts into the floor and drains right out. The floor always stays dry. And incase I didn't mention this, it always looks good

sorry to drill into this but what do you mean it drains right out? do you have some drainage system in your garage?

In my case when snow melts, water either tries to go to the seem with the walls or stays in puddles. I hate the situation but other than broom did not see any solutions. So are you saying the floors help somehow?

My garage has a slight slope so that directs the water out through the garage entrance. If your garage currently accumulates puddles it will not help with that. What I meant was that it has guide channels on the underside of the tiles so any water going in does not get trapped under a tile.
