Thanks for the responses guys. Porcelain tile is out. My garage is for daily drivers in the winter time. Don't want to deal with it in the cold, snowy, and slick times of winter. If I were in a warm climate, I'd be all about the porcelain tile.

I am thinking about doing the floor in my garage. I feel I know what I need to know about epoxy, now I'm looking at racedeck. I am thinking about a diamond pattern with a mid border of the free flow around the parking area. How is this stuff for rolling a creeper and creeper seat? How about...

Does anybody else have any idea how slippery this type of flooring is when wet. I live outside Chicago and deal with snow and slush melting off the cars. Thanks.

I like the idea of the safety glasses. I got my daughter a small set this year. She is 5 and likes to help me out in the garage. I grabbed a "lil helper" set at Lowes for about ten bucks. It comes with a hammer, couple screw drivers, adjustable wrench and a few pair of pliers. It also comes...

How slick is the VCT floor when wet? Looking at the pic of the high shine on that floor triggered Marine Corps flashback to buffing floors.

That's mature.

I can't say that I need or necessarily deserve a nice Snap on Box. I used to work as a mechanic, had a nice Matco box. I became a cop and sold the box as I had no where to put it, and needed the money. I have since bought a house, made a home, and a family. I am now enjoying my car hobby...
