Thanks all. It's an aluminum door, but does look like maybe wood on the inside pressed between the aluminum skin. Had not thought to cut it due to the material, but I think that is possible now. And yes adding a low rise threshold after cutting will be part of the plan to close up the gap on...

I'm looking into redoing my garage floor and I'm strongly considering a Racedeck type application. However I have one small hurdle I need to address and that is my service entry door. The garage is all concrete block framing with a brick facade. The original door framing for the service entry...

If I do all free flow, can I get away with a darker color at the doorway still without concern of buckling? Current colors of garage are Beige walls and Beige cabinet faces with black boxes Just not sure how much Beige I want on the floors too... What about tire creep? I have to back in my...

No recent pictures and its covered up now by roll out mats. Having said that, they must not be bad or I would have had projections through the mats. I'm just overthinking this tile plan.

If the floor was previously coated with a DIY box store bought epoxy, would you still use something like TrueLock B4? How noticeable would the old epoxy be using free flow tiles? Assuming mostly when looking directly down through the openings, otherwise not so much. Fortunately the original...

My garage door faces West and gets afternoon full sun. Family tends to keep the door open all day 🙄, but from what I've been reading it sounds like using flow through in the first few rows of the entry will likely prevent the potential for buckling. I haven't decided on a design yet, but...

Thanks just edited the original post. Still learning here.

Anyone use Rigid Plastic tiles (Racedeck, True Lock HD, Swisstrax, etc...) and regret the choice? What about it did/do you regret? I would like to redo my current setup. I've done the big box epoxy DIY kit and currently have wall to wall g-floor rollout vinyl mats. Time for a change. I've...

I have two G-Floor room out mats side by side in my garage. Had tried the seam tape, but tire creep and the expansion/contraction still had them overlap a bit and I am planning to redo it as the weather warms up. The stuff is still sticky in parts and exposed after trying to realign the...

Sorry, long post...trying to explain thoroughly to help with questions one might have. I have nearly a wall to wall fitment of BLT G-Floor roll out mats. These were like 20' long by 10' wide. I have two side by side and then another strip about 18" wide to finish out the width of my garage...

No plans for regular heat. Just a propane torpedo heater on occassion.

Yes, I do have soffit vents. Here are some pictures to help visualize what I am dealing with.

Located in Chicago. When doing the ceiling, what is the correct procedure? We had a new roof installed 2 years ago and have a roof vent. Rafters are 24" o.c. Do I get baffles for each joist center, then paper faced fiberglass Batting, then a plastic vapors barrier? I don't intend to...

The exterior of my garage is brick. No intention to do stucco or any other exterior treatment that alters the current design/look.

I didn't know what CMU is...but google searches suggest it is the same thing. Garage was built in the 50's.

I have a detached cinder block garage. Its been remodeled years ago with drylok primer and a color coat of paint on the walls and slat wall/cabinets in some areas. The entire 2 car garage is fairly narrow at only 20 ft, so adding framing and rigid foam has always been out of the question. When...

I have a small 2 car detached brick garage in Northern IL. Interior walls are cinder block and I have ZERO intention of changing or adding to them for insulation. Just too narrow with vehicles we have to lose any more space. They are painted and I consider them finished at this point. That...

Anyone happen to have a RH shield with tool rest for these you'd be willing to part with? In process of restoring mine and the right side shield is broke and missing a chunk that holds the tool rest.

Thanks took a few moments this morning to work on it and easily pounded them out. Placing an order this afternoon through Amazon for new ones. Saw earlier in this thread the correct replacement bearings being from NTN. Saw equivalent unit under Xike brand for less. Assume not an issue to use...

I just started to work on the exact same unit dated 2/57. Got it all torn down with the exception of removing the old bearings. Do I need that Sunex set or similar specialty tools to pull the old bearings off and install new ones?
