Thanks very much Drew! Calling Jorgen tomorrow to order the floor! Chris

Hellcat, Thanks for pointing me in this direction from the racedeck thread!! Very nice job, That's a great idea about the painting of the brick as well as the wall border. If not too much trouble could you tell me the brand and name of the red you used, it seems to match the racedeck really...

Hi Drew, Thanks very much! IT good to get input from someone who's put it down, I guess I'm a bit worried that alloy might be too dark? But you're happy with yours? Chris

HI Guys, I've been agonizing over flooring for a year or so since completing my garage, I just can't bring myself to do epoxy so settled on racedeck long ago (a bonus is it's US made!) So looking for advice. garage is 21x23 ft. My plan is red/white checkerboard with a graphite border using...

Ucoat-it specifies to do it on wet concrete. Also, in terms of curing? If a new slab the ucoat-it guy said 30 days cure time after pouring, if I go with ucoat-it I'll be waiting a couple months + as constructions not completed anyway. Chris

Soon to be gracing my garage! Chris

Well keeping in mind the guy I bought the house from did the wall and garage himself. Whenever we had heavy rains the garage would flood, obviously he didn't seal it right, he also didn't fill the openings with concrete, I tried everything over the years to prevent the moisture issue and all...

Hands down a very light grey as being more practical than white yet reflects a lot of light! Chris

When we bought our house some years ago, our retaining wall was made of concrete blocks (what a nightmare due to leakage etc) Isn't leakage of moisture a big issue with concrete block? The retaining wall the original owner left us with as well as detached garage (of which one wall was the...

Fyi, I opted for a brick foundation, and as stated, they didn't need forms poured into the brick, with expansion joint, looks much better than the concrete block. Chris

Going to put this 24x36 print framed in the breezewy connecting garage to the house. Here's the link to the site with lots of vintage italian motorcycle racing prints...

BLuesman, Some more pics. They're going to bust thru the wall into the house next week, I opted for a 4' opening with no door, to open the room a bit. Also, we're getting the whole house re-roofed as it needed it anyway but you can see by the garage10 pic how it's flashed and tarpapered. Feel...

HI Bluesman! Say you're in my neck of the woods I see. Are you a blues music fan?? A number of us ride to the delta in MS once or twice a year on our motorcycles, to hit Reds Loungs in Clarksdale! I did a lot of online research into retaining walls and settled on the interlocking block, in...

Well here's some pics 2/3s of the way thru the build. A little background: bought the house 23 years ago with a homebuilt cinderblock retaining wall and garage, leaked and flooded for years no matter what I did. Fast forward to August, hired a contractor, wrecking crew came out demo'd the wall...

My new tiny (by comparison) garage is about 550 sq ft. I've got a 1.5ton heat pump just installed, garage is fully insulated should be plenty for me. Chris

I've settled on the stock modular units they sell at Lowe's can get in white, bare wood, etc. Very cheap, and each unit is coded to help you set up the configuration you want. A very inexpensive way to do this. Chris

Hi guys, thanks for the tip. Handy has a variety of lifts in their range, down to around $750 or so. I like the sam1000 because it's a bit longer, has a dropout panel for pullling the rear wheel off. Chris

Did a search with no return posts. So I've looked at lots of motorcycle lifts, this is the type that most motorcycle dealers use. I'm probably going to get the SAM1000 which will do all I need it to do. Looking for feedback from anyone. http://www.handy-lift.com/SAM-1000.htm Chris PS>...
