Flexco makes good rubber transitions for this. Chris Pope Locust Grove, GA 07 Sprint ABS, 07.5 Tuono, 85 V65 Magna

I had an almost cataclysmic event last night as my garage door came off track nearly falling on my motorcycles. With the help of a neighbor, we eventually got it back on track but due to the angle it sat at for a while (I'm assuming), the torsion spring cone was pretty tweaked. I watched a...

I would emboss/skimcoat it first and then lay it. Chris Pope Locust Grove, GA 07 Sprint ABS, 07.5 Tuono, 85 V65 Magna

Not needed but clamping that front wheel is very comforting! Sweet setup btw. I've wanted to countersink my lift like that for a while. Too much of a pain to retrofit. I'll do it from the outset at the next house though. Chris Pope Locust Grove, GA 07 Sprint ABS, 07.5 Tuono, 85 V65 Magna

Can't remember the color name but it wasn't that. It's a Maple that comes from a manufacturer out of Texas.

This my sitting room dba my wife's office. I laid this locking maple as a floating floor (out of time constraints - I'd rather have glued it). It's almost a square 10x10 and running it parallel to the left wall looked much better than walking in to the room and seeing the wood going across...

^^^ This. You beat me to it. And don't cheap out using an 'adequate' (read: thin) underlayment. Go with the thickest you can get. Chris Pope Locust Grove, GA 07 Sprint ABS 07.5 Tuono 85 V65 Magna

Yes, that's typical of VCT. I like the Armstrong line but I'm not so wild about the Tarkett brand we also carry. I've never heard of using a clearcoat on VCT but that does sound interesting provided that the clear doesn't have a negative reaction to the VCT. As far as the sanding, Armstrong...

Interesting. Turns out there is a showroom somewhat close to me, so I might go check these out. I have a couple Racedeck samples I can take to compare as well. A $1.50 per sq ft difference really adds up quickly. Chris Pope Locust Grove, GA 07 Sprint ABS 07.5 Tuono 85 V65 Magna

Make sure to thinset underneath the backerboard too. Too many DIYers don't do that step. Chris Pope Locust Grove, GA 07 Sprint ABS, 07.5 Tuono, 85 V65 Magna

If you *really* want solid wood as opposed to engineered, Bruce makes a a 5/16 solid called "Natural Reflections". Personally, I like the engineered product better than any solid wood, 5/16 or 3/4.

I work at Lowe's in Flooring. What's the item # of the tile you're looking at? And FWIW, I'd consider putting quarter round at that door if your cutting skills don't allow for clean cuts there. You'll see those cuts every time you walk in and out of the door.

Another vote for Ditra heat. Chris Pope Locust Grove, GA 07 Sprint ABS, 07.5 Tuono, 85 V65 Magna
