    Sorry for the late reply. I must say I am 100% satisfied with this countertop. I am not sure what kind of belting it is, however I do know that the underside is rubber and the top side is more of a belting material. I went to an industrial belting company here in Calgary (BC Belting) and told...

    Thanks! I was told there would be no problems with using water on these tiles. However, on this subject, these tiles are not supposed to hold up well to the elements...meaning, be careful how far out you extend your tile under your overhead doors. The cold will eventually cause the tile to...

    Nope, it doesn't mean anything...but the KROMD plate on the V-Rod of course means Chromed. :) A year just seems like a long time when you spend every evening and weekend doing the work...because yes, I do have a regular job, unfortunately. Thanks for all the feedback and compliments guys, I...

    Thanks wythors. You're right, preventive maintenance (regular cleaning) is much easier!

    No major work. It's more a place for me to work on my bikes or clean them. Most of my work on my bikes is on my V-Rod and the work is primarily cosmetic mods with a few mechanical as well. Trust me though, it still gets dirty. It's a full time job keeping it clean :D

    You mean these? I too like them - I use one for storage of oil, cleaners, etc and the other to store all my bike gear. They are very handy...just wish they were black ;)

    Hmm...I use potassium chloride salt as well (Sifto) and don't get the residue you talk about. Are you able to adjust your water softener? This might help. I know that when I bought my house it didn't have a water softener so I can compare with and without. Without a softener I had all kinds...

    Thanks, all the black casing around the window and doors are hand made from poplar - no MDF in this garage ;)

    Got my VCT samples today and pricing info.

    I have the speckled VCT in my garage and would recommend the speckled finish for reasons already mentioned. The speckles hide a multitude of sins. Just a word of advice, how your finish your tiles once installed makes a huge difference on how they'll wear or stand up. I'm new to the forum so...

    Thanks for all the compliments, I appreciate it. Those type-set drawers are a great find and are extremely handy. I would definitely recommend them if you can find them. The flooring is vinyl composite tile. I've only had it in for about 5 months but so far it's holding up fairly well. I've...

    Hello all. I'm new to the forum and am looking forward to discovering more things I can do to my garage. I've been working on mine now for about a year (from excavation to pour the pad to where it's at today). I am doing everything myself so it's taking more time then normal. I've attached...
