I`m just wondering...

1) What made you want to do that to your garage?

2) Wouldn`t the garage floor get oily/dirty from the cars?

3) Where do you "work" on your cars then? like oil change, etc.

4) How did you organise everything?

1. Saw lots of great garages and wanted one as well

Also wanted:

a) nice place to work

b) some where to display my concours trophies

c) some where to store all my car care stuff!

2. Yes floor gets dirty. I blow out dust leaves weekly and mop it every 3-4 weeks. Comes up great.

3. Don`t do much maintenance stuff myself, but could floor is designed for it. Its also goot to lie on as well :heelclick

4. Check out the pictures in the link. I have lots of storage bins in the cabinets

Very nice job with the garage. Two questions. Where did you get those cabinets they look really nice? What made you go with that floor (race deck?) over an epoxy floor? Great job!!!

Cabinets custom made by kitchen place. Yes its race deck. Epoxy flooring is rare here in Australia, so not a lot of people to do it or talk with. Knew a few people very happy with Race Deck and liked the idea of the pattern. Also knew its would be a simple install process. Overall really happy with the choice :woot2:

I have been looking into the best way to organize my own garage. I like the white plastic tray things you have for the bottles. Do those pull out? Did the cabinet builder make those too or did you buy them? Thanks for your help.

The garage is awesome! Very nice layout and storage areas rock.

I have been thinking of installing this type of flooring and my question concerns being able to use my creeper on this surface. Would the wheels on my mechanics stool and the creeper manage to get hung up on tiles as I move around on the floor.

The pattern is low profile so they should run. They will not glide, but they will roll.
