Thank you for this link. This is such a great bench. I love Family Handyman, since every issue seems full of ideas I can use. It is the most practical magazine I've ever seen. I should get a subscription.

It's been almost 6 months since then. What has been the result? Did you get a permanent fix from TechFloor?

People love their FF, especially if vehicles bring in winter slush and dripping water in other seasons. This is not really an issue with me since I try not to drive the garaged vehicles in bad weather. But I have a couple of questions for FF advocates. 1) What I'd like to know about FF is...

Re: Rick's Audi Double Glad to see that you are still improving. I don't think your garage will ever be pronounced "finished". :D I had a 2000 Jetta and when I bought new, had the 3M film put on the front, hood, mirrors, etc. Great product, but a couple of years later got hit with a small...

Well, I've looked forward to this day! Even since your posting on my 1st thread recommending I consider your garage design, I thought I would read all I could on it. I finally finished all 170 pages and almost 3400 postings! Took over a month! This is probably now the most famous 2-car garage on...

< ---------- My version of Corvette Wave Love seeing a dedicated Corvette garage! But then I'm biased. ;) If you do get a C7 and keep the C6, you will have to install another lift. But then you will have four generations! Three more to go! If you trade the C6 you should still get another lift...

I'm wondering what flooring options there are for my situation. Come Spring, the first item in upgrading my 483 sq' garage is to redo the flooring. Half the floor is pitted due to road salt damage over the decades. After concrete resurfacing, I've been considering epoxy or RaceDeck (RD). The...

Nice job! I really like your second garage, but I LOVE your first one! For me it is closer to what I want with the big C5 logo prominently displayed. But I'm biased anyway, since I have a C5. Both your garages have given me some ideas I want to incorporate. It is interesting there were some...

Winter Solution. Well here is my winter solution. As I mentioned in post #24, I was waiting for the Hydraulic Vehicle Positioning Jacks to go on sale at Canadian Tire. They did and I snapped up two pair last Friday Before: After: Bottom line is that I have two vehicles occupying my...

Impressive C5! It looks like an MSG, which would put it at 2003-04. Or maybe a pewter vert like mine if it is just the camera. Very impressive die-cast collection. What it the size of the garage? I've been wondering what RD colors would look good with my pewter, and thinking of black & alloy...

Spudland_Dave: Unfortunately, 5' is the case. 6t7gto: A side door is an idea that I can throw into the mix, but probably not really practical. Boatmark: The car will not block the doors (front and rear). There is room, but will be a confined passage. A trade off I figure. Everyone: Again...

Thanks everyone for the valuable ideas. They are much appreciated. I need to address several issues that have come up. We have three vehicles, and the two that would be garaged are not used very often. hard12catch33: Thanks for the idea. Didn't know these existed. It's a $1,000 solution that...

Here is my dilemma. I have a double- car garage with a single 9' door so I can only get one car in it! Before I start on garage improvements next Spring, I wanted to explore an idea. My garage is 24' deep and 21' 3" wide, so it will fit two cars. (The garage interior goes to the house wall on...

G.W.N. stands for Canada if you don't already know! (Great White North actually.) Seems like a lot of Canucks on this garage forum. Probably because we need something to keep busy in the long winters. I wonder if any Canadian on this forum is south of me (latitude 42.04), since there are only a...

Re: Rick's Double Garage in Calgary, CAN Rick: While researching ideas for garages, I came upon this site. I quickly discovered your thread and was fascinated. It has taken me countless hours since then to go over every one of the 41 pages and save 85 of your pictures. Whew! I thought it only...
