Thanks guys. So the tile manuf. states the COF? I never noticed, will have to keep an eye out.

Dakota00, how slippery do you find the tile with snow/ice in the winter? Didn't see it in mentioned. Thanks.

Hi JimVonBaden, your floor looks great, I really like the fact that the grout lines are nearly invisible. Did you use less than 1/8"? Is there a risk with narrower grout lines that tiles may heave from hot/cold cycles? I live in Edmonton Alberta and winters can see -40C to thaw in the matter of...

great thread! Looking to tile the garage next year. This will be one of the go to resources. One question I have is how do you safely clean and dispose of mortar? I bet it can destroy plumbing even if diluted. Just scoop out into the garbage and then wipe down with a rag to clean your tools...

Thanks. If it's redone would placing a bead of caulk at the driveway-apron joint be of any help?

Matt_i that sounds like a good idea! I will likely do that around the sides. nexussian, thanks for the link!

So I live in the frozen north where winter can see -40C...the real problem is that in the winter temps can swing so dramatically from a melt to -40C's that it wreaks havoc on the roads and MY CONCRETE :mad: The photos show the lip of the concrete that sits just outside the doors of the attached...

Looks nice, Why did you opt to stop short of the edge of the concrete pad? (looks like that anyways from the photo)

So I'm wanting to do something with our current mess of a garage. We moved in about a year ago and since had a baby so this went pretty low on the list of priorities. Also, "all organizing and no play make me go something something" so I tend to put stuff like this off.... It's essentially a...

thanks for all the info guys! I will likely have the electrician place a sub in the garage and do it like that. I will use the 6-50P/R for the welder in the future and the other for the powdercoat oven.

CNG, thanks for the reply, The garage is attached to the house and the main panel to the house is full. It is located in the basement and about 35-45 feet away. The last time I had an electrician out they said we might need to have a sub panel. Thanks for the tip on wire. Pattenp, Yes, in part...

So I'm planning on wiring my garage for 220/221 ... whatever it takes... I will be using it to run a powder coating oven that will draw about 26Amps as I've calculated. I would also like to have enough on tap to weld with in the future. I'm not sure which way to go regarding 30 or 50A...

The space will not be heated but is an attached insulated garage, so it shouldn't subzero. I'm looking to install myself.

Great forum, lurking has been productive! Needing advice on what to use for flooring in the garage we have. I'm a new homeowner and no previous experience with all that comes along with it. :eyecrazy: We recently moved into the house so I'm not too sure how cold the garage actually gets in...
