Also starting to work on securing the windows a bit. I'll be adding heavy-duty cast iron bars to the wood shutters when I get the welder up and running. Nothing stops the bastards fro getting in if they really want to but I'll have a nice surprise waiting inside if they make it that far

Almost forgot about this post. Here's a few pictures of how things turned out. Still trying to find the time to finish up but at least you get the idea.

My brother outside of Boston just forwarded me this link for an ad posted on Craigs List. Somebody needs to save this sign. If I was closer and I could transport I'd be all over it. Here's the link....http://boston.craigslist.org/nwb/zip/2667299686.html Hopefully somebody can grab this before it...

Great score. No way would I restore that. Like they say.....only original once! I think it looks great just the way it is.

Thanks for the tip Les, just ordered the same fabric through Amazon. Should be here by early next week.

Thanks for the response. I almost went with the black/white combo but decided the white would be a real PITA to keep looking good. Still may swap the black out for graphite as I'm thinking the black is so dark it will show everything and be PITA to keep looking clean.

I've got (2) 9'W X 10'H solid cedar overhead carriage doors and I'm running a Liftmaster 3800 on each one. Each door comes in at just over 400lbs. I also have the hi-lift tracks. Not a single problem lifting or closing the doors. Most important is to have a quality installer. As said by...

Thanks for the feedback Mike. Yeah sounds like the sawdust will be a problem with those black tiles. I do wood working and play around with cars so it seems like the black tiles will show any bit of dirt, especially from the power saws. Not sure what to do, may give RaceDeck a call and see whats...

Can anybody with black RaceDeck tiles comment on how difficult they are to keep clean. Ordered black & alloy but thinking I may need to change to graphite and alloy as I've got a dirt/stone driveway and also do a bit of woodworking in the garage. Began to think the black may be a mistake as it...

Looks great so far. What's the black rubber strip by the door opening, looks very useful-any info on it? Great idea having your son help, bet he'll remember helping dad with the garage floor for many years to come. My boy is 17 so I need to work hard to get him involved these days:)

Looks like you made the right choice as that looks really good to me. Is that black and alloy or graphite and alloy? Sweet ride you got there!

Talk about timing. I ordered my RaceDeck on Father's Day. Ordered up 800+ tiles in diamond pattern. Got to thinking should have gone with the circle pattern for ease of cleaning. Called them up to discuss and possibly change my order. Spoke with 2 different staffers who both told me diamond is...

Thanks for the link to the fabric...stuff looks to be the real deal. I think I'll be going this route as well instead of the lighter stuff at HD. Sweet install on your tile as well:)

Got a question for ya Les. Choice of the coin pattern over the diamond. Is there a benifit to the coin over the diamond or is it purely whichever one you like better. Does the coin pattern clean up easier or provide more traction? Sarki

True that!

I installed 2 3800 Lift Masters last year on my two 10'W x 9'H overhead wood doors. These doors are monsters and the 3800's handle them with ease. Like the others have said, sure is nice with the hi-lift track as they come to rest just 4" from the ceiling. If using the hi-lift tracks be sure...

Hmm, not sure why they didn't knock a dime off per tile for you as they did for me. The savings wasn't huge but the gesture was nice. No arm twisting on my part either as they were a total pleasure to deal with. Looking forward to getting my flooring and jumping on the install. Give them a call...

The fact that they allow a GJ member to enjoy the Father's Day sale in addition to the normal discount they offer to us is OUTSTANDING in my mind. The additional few cents per tile isn't significant, it's the fact that they extend the additional discount that impressed me. Impressed enough to...

Jorgen, Sounds good. Had a question about the sale but I'm a bit late as I see it's after biz hours. Can you tell us anxiously awaiting GJ members if the Father's Day sale going on tomorrow will provide an additional Father's Day discount to us GJ members? That would be a serious sale and...

Yikes, I was hoping to hear the Father's Day sale involved a deeper discount or that it would be in addition to the GJ discount....one can dream! And to think, I almost had the wife convinced:)
