Looks great.

Thanks Cairo. I just bought my first one. Its a '75 Carrera Targa with a 930 motor. I was able to go pick it up today from a friends house so the garage is now complete.

Ok finally finished the install. It took me a lot longer then I thought but I did it all myself so progress was slow. The grout ended up being a bit lighter then I wanted so I'm going to seal in so it will darken a bit. I'm also going to paint the concrete edge on the left to match the wall...

Couple tips when buying your tile from Lowes/HD. Each Lowes store is in charge of their store inventory and pricing for the tile they sell; therefore the prices can be different from store to store. Change the lowes location you are shopping online to see if you can find a better price. Also...

Just a quick update. Tile is almost done. Only 65 sq ft left. I didn't think it would take me this long but I can only get about 40-50 tiles installed per day. Any more and my wife and 8 month old daughter wouldn't be happy. Very happy so far. Hoping the grout won't take as long...

Quick update I was able to put down the Reno-ramp, a few tiles and widen the RedGard application per Ray's recommendation. Very happy with the results but I would recommend that you mix about 1/3 of a bag of thinset if your a DIYer like me and not a pro. I did half of a 50lb bag but the...

Here is a pic after the power washing. Also wanted to show how I set my layout. I found the front center of the garage to align my reno-ramp then snapped a front chalk line. To find the perpendicular center line I taped the reno-ramp down then measured 15' out from both sides and made...

Larry the surface cleaner was purchased from northern tool. It has a rotary swivel with two spray nozzles. It worked great in the garage at keeping the water off the walls. I also used it on my driveway. It maintains the same sprayer distance so it eliminates zebra strips which is common...

Finally got the garage cleaned out yesterday to start the prep work and install. Just to be sure I wont have any issues with the oil spots I used a sprayer to cover the floor with Oil eater degreaser. I let the degreaser sit for 45min and kept the area saturated before I pressure washed it. I...

Just an update. I was able to borrow garage space from a neighbor to store my table saw and drill press. I put the remaining cabinets in my dinning room and tool chest in my entry. Wife wasnt happy with the tool chest move. I plan to do a final degrease and power wash tomorrow then start...

Thanks for the info Ray and Dakota00. I plan to degrease the floor again once I get everything out then power wash. If any test pieces don't have a good bond I plan to profile it with muriatic acid. I'll also burn-in the thinset and butter back to get the best bond. I'll try and take as many...

Porcelain tile install (completed) First I want to thank all the peeps that provide there time and experience on this site to help others. My garage is in its current state because of their help. So after reading through the great tile threads, I have finally started the cleaning and prep...

Looks great. I am getting ready to start this project this weekend and plan to do it myself with the help of a couple buddies. I think I am going to go the same route as you and grind the surface before I install the tile. Question about the grinder. Is it a floor buffer with a concrete...

I'm in the dallas area and would love to be a beta tester. Let me know.

Great post and awesome job on the floor. Are those standard for fine flakes?
