Hello all, I have been a member here for several years now. I have built two shops and I installed Racedeck in both. It is safe to say I am an avid Racedeck fan and supporter. Over the past year, I have gotten divorced and am relocating to a new house. This is a brand new build with an oversize...

I posted here about a year and a half ago about painting the floor in my new garage. I did everything I was told to do by the product seller and was very pleased with the end result. Now, fast forward a year and a half. After about a year the painted floor started to turn orange in several...

I posted in a thread about mounting your vice somewhere other than on your new workbench top. I designed this versatile approach a few years back and it has proven to work great. After many emails and PM's about the availability of one of these I am giving though to manufacturing them for sale...

Hello All, I bought enough racedeck to do the shop in my last house. When I moved, I decided to take it up and put it in the new shop. Taking it up wasn't a bad job. Putting it down wasn't a bad job either but during the build, the shop became the "catch-all" place for everything! The flooring...

Hello all, Well, I posted for recommendations for painting my new garage floor a couple weeks back. I am now finished with the install and wanted to share my experience with any of you about to embark on this task yourself. First, I spent some time researching and talking to several different...

Hello All, I am about to be ready to address the floor in my 24' x 30' garage. In my last house, I painted the floor with Sherwin Williams two-part epoxy with good results. I am sure there is something better now so I am seeking suggestions for best product to use. The floor is new with no...

Hello everyone, I started a build thread several months back but building a house turned out the single largest learning experience in my life. So, many of my original design concepts were put aside and alternate avenues taken. I'll share a pictorial tour of the house build with emphasis on the...

Hello, My wife and I have sold our house and started building, what we plan to be our last house. We wanted something on a golf course with a nice view of the course and a lake. We lucked up and found the perfect lot and have already started construction. I have been on this forum for some...

I have started the build of my new house and shop and was wondering if anyone has used faux brick in their builds? I am wanting a couple brick walls in my shop for my "old Detroit garage" theme and trying to get by cheaper than using real brick. Any input or suggestions would be greatly...

Hello all, I purchased my current home about 10 years ago. The shop floor had been stained when built but after two years the stain was looking pretty bad and was peeling like crazy. This was before I found this forum so in my ignorance I had commercial VCT tile put down in a black and white...

Hi guys, Well, I found what I thought was a very cool shop creeper at a swap meet last year. I have only seen one of these before and after doing some research I now know why. I'll explain later. Anyway, the condition as I obtained it look pretty crappy so I thought I would make a few...

Hello all, I have been wanting a display cabinet for some of my old stuff so I have been looking on the internet for something that will look cool and have a function. I found these cabinets that are fiberglass reproductions of early style gas pumps but they run around $2500! A bit more than I...

Hello, I am new to this site but have spent quite a lot of time looking at the awsome garages here. I have a shop that is 30' x 40' and am giving thought to building a facade of an old gas station into one wall. I was wondering if anyone here has tried this? If so could you post some pictures...
