I tried watching this show the other day...Watched for 10 minutes and didn't see them once mention the garage. They BS'd around in the yard for a while, then made a guy serve them lunch for using a ditch digger..

I noticed a bunch of those back-to-back over the weekend when I was flipping around. Recorded them with the Tivo and then used FF to watch bits and pieces. I could get in to it if they actually fixed-up garages but every episode I saw became something other than a garage. One exception was for a couple of motorcycle racers. Will have to watch for the one with Racedeck flooring. I guess it left as a room you actually put a car in? Since they seem to like making garages in to living rooms maybe they will come convert my basement/living room in to a garage?

I agree they do not use the garage as it should be. They are making a recreation room bar ect.

I think the point is more to make the garage what the owners want it to be. Most of the time, the garages are packed so full of junk that they didn't have cars in them anyway. And, yes, they did do the real garage for the bikers.
I still like to watch Overhaulin' to get my real garage fix

They said it was made by Race Deck but they are the larger tiles for like large shops. I believe they are 18"X18" the regular ones are 12"X12". They are great they also have the diamond plate pattern on them.

Cool I can't wait to see that show . I have Tivo and Direttv so I never miss any of them. However i tend to agree that outside of the machine shop and the one they did for the motorcycles, they really don't do any real mans garage so it will be nice to get to see your dads.
Looks like they did A hell of a nice job...by the way nice work on the fridges.

I will have to keep that episode. Look great. I may have some more questions for you as time goes on I think I want to do something like that in my garage. But for now...
1. Did I see them building a spot for the air compressor to go up in the attic aswell?
2. Do they go all over or just regional any chance they would come to TEXAS?
3. Do you have to pay anything or do they just provide it all?
4. The top right hand corner of the garage for just a split second I though I saw oxygen and actelyne bottles did I?

They put our commressor out in our shed and in the attic they put 2 hose spools for the air hoses. They are spring loaded so you can pull them out of the celing and they retract. As far as were they will be next im not sure but this shooting they required you be within 45 miles from D.C. As far as paying for things they give us a 1099 and we pay the taxes on whatever they spent. They bottles you saw were most likely our propane botttles we have a propane heater hooked up in there and we run it of the tanks.

Nice painting on the fridges, that was my favorite part. The design team seemed like a bunch of morons. Between the two girls that were just clueless and the guy who couldn't measure a 20ft wall, they would have been better without them. The foreman seemed like he was a good guy. If you don't mind me asking, how much did they spend on the garage?
Congrats on owning a now famous garage!

Thanks guys for all the comments. They were all pretty cool but there were a few people that they could have done without. The building crew was awesome though those dudes busted they're asses all three days. We all got partied after the reveal and they all became fun and loose. As far as cost, the 1099 was for around $8,000.00. I believe race deck gave them the floor to get they're name out there. Because thats not cheap.
