Update: I have done a few oil changes, wheel bearing and brake master cylinder replacement jobs and everything is holding up nicely. No concerns or issues with the tile so far. I am finding the stone finish on these tiles take a bit more to clean than I hoped for. Rinsing out with a hose gets...

Gerald O... Nice car. I just pulled my 1950 Olds Rocket 88 onto the new porcelain.

Well the job is finally done. All three bays. I'm pleased with how it came out and glad it's over. A total 1,500 sq/ft is a lot of tile. I've done a couple oil changes and a wheel bearing replacement and really like the new surface. I did have 2 tiles I had to cut in half as the floor was just...

Finished bay 2 over the weekend. I'm on business travel this week but will try to get the 3rd bay done this weekend and wrap up the loose ends by the end of the week. These tile were bought from Floor&Decor and have a PEI rating of 4 which was the lowest I would considered. There was no COF...

I found the time to get the oil changed. So far so good. No scratch or chipping from jack or stands. Now I need to get motivated for the other 2 bays

Well I finished 1 bay and plan on parking in it tonight. I decided to end the tile and put the ramp inside the door as I have a gravel driveway and thought it may help to keep the gravel off the tile. I also did not want to mess around resetting the garage doors. In order to not waste tile I...

Well I'm almost done with one of the the three bays. I tiled up to the drains and grouted last night. Picture attached. I need to finish a half row after the drain and install the Schluter ramp to complete. 24x24 tiles are not for the faint of heart but I do like the look in a large space. There...

The tile I purchased did not have a rating for COF but they have a stone like texture to them, I bought some samples first and put some water on them to see and I think they will be fine. They are not highly polished and smooth. I put down another 20 tiles last night and paid special attention...

I understand your concern and I am trying to ensure that whenever I have a case where a tile is being pulled up I re-pack underneath with thin set to raise it before locking the wedge in. In the majority of cases I am pushing the new tile down to meet the previous one.

Phase 2 underway tiling the remaining 1,000 sq/ft of garage space. I got the tile form Floor & Decor for this section. The two colors I selected are part of the same brand so the tiles have the exact same pattern but just different shades of grey. These are rectified so the edges are clean...

I was lucky enough to find a home that dedicated nearly the entire basement level to garage space. The house I moved from had a finished basement though where we had a pool table, slot car track on other forms of entertainment. Since this new garage is 3 cars wide and 2 cars deep I decided to...
