This is all awesome guidance - thanks everyone! I think I am going to the edge tiles at the door and none on the others edges. Got all my dimensions - just need to decide on a pattern! Thanks again!!

Thanks for the response Jeff....what kind of paint did you use? And do you think using the edging all the way around would give it a more finished look? Any chance you can post a pic or two?

And what paint would you all recommend for the edges of the concrete floor and up the wall? I am doing my one car garage first which is my workshop. I don't need show quality, but want something that will hold up.

So I am getting ready to order some RaceDeck tiles (well their private label brand GarageTrac - a friend had a bunch of leftovers from his install, so I have a nice jump start on my project). Anyway, my garage has an interesting floor....let me try to explain. Most garage floors are a flat...

Thanks everyone! I think I will def treat the 2-car, but leave the 1-car as is.

So, my dad recently installed the GarageTrac flooring in his garage and he gave me all of his extra tiles. I've been eyeing tiles for a looong time, and getting this little bump is what's finally pushing me to make the move. I ordered a few samples from the RaceDeck folks earlier this week. Once...

We have a concrete patio in the back of our house (about 2 years old). For some reason the builder just did a patio under half of the deck, the other half is just a mulch bed. We want to extend the patio and make the mulch area useful. So I know i will never get a perfect match - but what are...

Just found something similar this weekend at Sam's and picked it up. Its got a wall bracket but you can unhook it and put it anywhere. I think I will use this for my single bay. For the double bay I will pick up a 20" oscillating wall mount fan from Northern Tool - on sale right now for about...

With summer quickly coming up, the temps in my garage will start to climb. I like to run a fan full-time. It helps to keep air circulating, and its good when I am working in the garage on a hot day. Right now I just have a few pedestal fans but am trying to get as much off the ground. Ideally...

Are all Tekton tools made in USA? I see alot of their stuff on Woot, but never knew much about the brand

Completely forgot about that 4-piece set at HD. We moved recently and Lowes in MUCH closer so I almost never go to HD, but I do have a small gift card there. Might be a good use and pickup a few extra pieces to round out the set.

I do like how CL's are available at the big box stores - even WalMart carries a few. This is nice if i need to add to my set. Its funny how Craftsman didnt even pop into my head - heard so much about their declining quality that I already wrote them off. I think you guys are confirming my...

Well, my HF pliers are finally crapping out, so I am looking for a new set. I really have my eye on the Channellock set below - only 5 pieces, but really its all that I need (at least for now). http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D8WR9Q0/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Seeing if you guys have any...

Thanks for all the help guys. Who knew by buying an air hose reel that I was signing up to buy a bigger compressor....but you won't see me complaining.

I just picked up a Coxreels air hose reel for my garage. Right now, I have a small pancake compressor - I mainly just use it for trim work and other small building projects in my garage. Would be nice to get a bigger one eventually, but it will do for now. My questions is, I see all of these...
