Is avatar working?

It is RaceDeck flooring. It is all over this forum. There are plenty of opinions on it. I haven't done too much serious work yet. Just put the ape hangers on my bike. As time will tell, we will see how it holds up. As for the window, it is strictly for looks. The roof is trusses and...

I went through the same questions when I was finishing my garage. I am usually a benjamin moore guy, but SW was running a 30% off discount so I went with them. I bought their drywall primer and used the amount on the paint can to estimate amount needed. I did 2 coats of primer. I rolled...

To finish off the project, I got a craftsman toolbox and some cabinets. It is finally finished and my baby (my nova, not the real baby yet) is at home. And there are a few pics with the garage filled up for the winter. Thanks to all of you guys for helping me do this. I have been lurking on...

After finishing paint and trim, it was finally time for the flooring. I was so excited to put in my new racedeck. They are great at what they do. Their customer services is great as well. Oh and my birthday gift from my wife is on the back wall, a 50" plasma tv. (looks tiny on the huge...

Next, after finishing the drywall, it was time to mud the garage. Once that was done, it was time for paint. Wanted to do a grey and white theme with yellow and black stripe. (I got ideas from this forum)

I had a ton of electric run. I put a sub panel put in with a large amount of outlets and plenty of 240v lines for air compressors and lifts. I also went with four 8ft. fluorescent lights. This is plenty of light. The builder had finished his part. It was my plan to finish the inside myself...

These are pics of the floor and garage doors. I had a 6" floor poured to handle the lift. I plan to put a 4-post and a 2-post lift in the end. At this point I am only getting the 2-post. My wife had only one requirement for the garage, it has to match the house. No metal buildings, has to...

So when my wife and I bought a new house, we bought knowing I planned to build my "dream" garage. We had been in our new house for a couple of years and the talk about "kids" happened and I did what any guy would do..... time to build the garage. So my goal was to get the garage built before...

Here are a few more pics. Electrician coming tomorrow to connect electric between house and garage.

Trying to post actual picture in post

I am building my new garage. It will be 1000 sq. ft. I think I have decided to go with racedeck or swisstrax tiles since I want a black and white checkered floor. I will be working on cars in my garage as welll as storing. I plan to have a 4 post lift as well as a 2 post. Since it is still...
