I've been reading and looking at the pictures of these great looking floors and would love to have my new garage/shop look like some of them. But, I know my shop will be used as a working shop, working on cars, trucks, ATVs, small tractors, which means spilling of any and all chemicals, oils...

I am building onto my garage. Going to heat the new edition with radiant under the slab. The old garage is heated with a ceiling mounted propane heater that does a very good job. I plan to remove the wall between the two. Also I plan to have some kind of curtain separating the two to keep...
