Has anyone had experience with full length floor mats? My 1 car garage floor has seen better days and exoxy/tiling isn't worth the money to me. I don't care fore the plastic snap tiles, so matting peeked my interest. I'm referring to mats like this...

Same garage from the first post, but with freshly painted walls:

Nice progress man! How did the hardware bin turn out?

I second this. Also, how does this style of construction compare to a metal building cost wise?

That's funny! Sadly, the main sign on the roof was taken down not to long ago. Thanks, it wasn't always that way! :thumbup:

This looks like the making of a very cool shop. Waiting for pics... :bounce:

Nice work on the garage, but I really like the TA! What's under the hood?

Looking forward to updates. How well does that finish on the floor hold up?

Thanks a lot Balane. That came out great! :thumbup:

Thanks guys, I'm working on batch number two now. Thanks, I did take that picture. I'm going to have a buddy of mine remove the power lines in photoshop. That's the plan. :thumbup: After electrolysis it had a blackish bare metal look. If it wouldn't rust, I would leave it as is.

A few months back, I helped a relative deep clean my great grandparent's house (Built in 1915). It's in a small mill town in Georgia and I still have family that live there to this day. In the back of a closet I found some of my great-grandfather's tools that he used as the head mechanic at the...

Even though the cars aren't my style, I've got to give it to you man! Being that you're about the same age as me makes it even cooler. Congrats and good work!
