My house was built in the early 80s.

MrSurly I'm seriously, in a somewhat good way, surprised by the answers of it being oversized for the space. I thought it was a very good size for it. The space is actually 500 sq ft. I don't know for sure if the exterior wall is insulated but my guess is that it is. The reason I...

You'll be very satisfied with porcelain. I did my own and don't regret it at all.

Also, my master bedroom is above the garage and is typically the hottest room in the house. Would I see a drop in temperature by having the mini-split running in the garage?

I’m looking at cooling/heating the garage. It’s an attached 2 car garage with an extra space in the back and with the master bedroom above it. You can see in the picture below. It’s about 500 sq with no windows and 2 garage doors facing SE. I plan on insulating the garage doors a bit if I...

Thanks! You got a heck of a deal! Although I know this doesn't apply to most people, but I plan on having family buy my mini split in Mexico. I was able to find a Mirage 1 ton 220v unit for about $420 give or take. Rotary mini splits are still very common over there, but this one is the...

Which Mirage model is this specifically?

Whats the lowest price the 2hp dust collector has been? Lowest I ever saw myself personally was $169.99 but that was a while ago and was hoping to find it for cheaper. Anyone?

Congrats. Looks really good! Can't wait til mine is done/

Always loved 90's Hondas. I've owned a 91 (EF) Civic and a few 90's (CD) Accords. Recently picked up a 97 Miata, in my venture to go RWD and I'm still drawn to Hondas. I'm not sure if I'll ever be as in to it as my Hondas but I just picked it up. Nice garage!

So small update I’ve been tiling at a very slow rate. I feel like the back buttering, and cleaning off the excess thinset adds a lot to my time. I tend to think I can be relatively quick if I didn’t have to do these things. Anyways, I’m about half or close to half way done. I have issues...

Dakota, thanks for the advice! I decided to not over think it so much and get going. This weekend my brother in law came in to get me started. We leveled out some of the bad spots and started finding the center of the room. After waiting for the compound to cure, I started laying down some...

Thanks Radix2, I never thought of it that way. Gives me a little more piece of mind.

Hey everyone, my garage floor is fixing to be given some new and long lasting skin. Always wanted to cover my floor with tile, but considered all other types of flooring. The other alternative was just to paint it with 1 part epoxy! Yes, not everyone’s favorite but I was looking for the...

Just throwing a suggestion out there. It's a little pricey but looks good. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019PJV3N4/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Great conversation starter!

Not sure if you’re like me, but I tend to think of the more economical solution first. I suggest a heavy duty tarp

Might be a dumb question, but did you use a primer so that the thinset could adhere to the cement? I assume you didn't.

This has potential to being garage of the year! Sub'd
