Wow, after a long hiatus from the forum, I checked in and immediately was mesmerized by your garage buildout. Wow! You definitely are in inspiration to a fellow basement garage owner! Thank you so much for sharing your talents in such detail. I am in awe!

I have a card catalog too and I just used the plastic bins. I also bolted a small moving dolly to the bottom to make it easy to move around and to keep up off of the floor.

The floor and the garage look great! I suffer from the same problem in my garage - a low ceiling. How has it worked having the lights on the wall? I had been thinking about that as well.

Hello, I suffer from the same problem in my garage. If you search the threads, there is some discussion on this issue. One of the guys who was an experienced tilesetter suggested a product form a company called Mapei. He said it was an outstanding product that would not come up over time and...

The weather is beautiful right now. This week has been in the 70's to low 80's and the humidity finally left, at least for a little bit. I am in the Milwaukee area and this week has been the nicest of the summer. Enjoy!

You are right, there aren't too many reports on long term use on different flooring products so it is very much appreciated that you documented your experience with much detail! Many floors look great intitially, but what matters most is how they look and perform over time. Thanks again for...

Here is our new addition to the family. We just got him a week ago. We lost our last Shepherd, April, a little over a month ago and we will never forget her. She LOVED being in the garage with me. Our new pup, Rocky, is a 14 month old we got from the German Shepherd Rescue. He has been a...

WOW! Small world! I really liked being stationed in Butzbach because it was right in town. I know some German but "ein bisschen"! Whqt kind of school is it your company manages? Thanks for the offer but I found the info for Mapai. I am definitely going to be looking more closely at their...

Thanks for the heads up on the epoxy grout. I keep hearing about Mapei in various threads. I definitely am going to look into it. Thanks again!

Never mind, I see from your profile you are in Frankfurt. My bad!

The more I see tile the more I like it as a floor. I was always woriied about cracking and like you, we have a lot of cold weather so the freeze/thaw cycles are always a concern. I will definitely check out Mapei when I get to that point. I think black looks terrific but are you worried about...

The floor looks great. What makes the material underneath the tiles unique? I must say I don't know a lot about tiling but am seriously considering doing my garage with them. On a separate note, I lived in Germany for 1.5 years when I was there in the Army in the mid 80's. I was able to...

I have to say I really like the look of Jack's floor and the price is great too! The other thing that is cool is that it is fairly easy to replace part of it if it does get damaged. One concern I would have would be the grout. I have heard about some new grout (I think it has been on the...

Thanks Pecosbill. This looks like exactly what I was looking for. Have you any experience with it? Is it as good as it is stating?

I have a very similar problem. What is frustrating is I have a floor drain in the middle of the garage but not all the water flows in that direction. Like yours, one corner is low and that's where some of the water flows. Unfortunately, my walls are built on top of the floor, so I can't just...

Couldn't be said better!

I have a garage that is underneath the house and so is below grade on 2 sides. When we moved in I had a horrible problem with water and ended up diggiing everything out, putting in drain tile and a sump pump, waterproofing the wall with tar and plastic and backfilling with lots of gravel. The...

Ditto on the Panasonics. We have one with 4 extensions and I use it in the garage as well. Best phone I ever had.

Thanks for the condolenses Chris.

Hey Guys, I just lost my best friend yesterday morning. She collapsed after our morning walk. It was totally unexpected and I will miss her greatly. She loved being in the garage with me and would constantly come up to me and would lick my face every time I was on the floor working on...
