Very nice!
Are the garage doors two way glass? Got any more shots of the interior and the whole house?

Very nice! When I saw that first picture, I thought you were nuts for having glass doors. Then I saw they were mirrored on the other side. A great idea! Do you get alot of light from them?

Hey guys, thanks!

Here are a few more pics. The windows let tons of light in. It is awesome.The windows are one way, but at night you can see in when the lights are on. It doesn't matter though. I live in a very private area and no one even know we are here. In the front view of the house, you can see the other two bays. That is where my wifes van is, and where the Avalanche will go when I get the '61 vette running and home. We are still working on the lawn.

Sorry if these pics are too big. I am having trouble sizing them the way I want. Please let me know if I need to change them.

That's a great looking garage. I too love those doors. What is your floor covered/coated with?

Unbelievably awesome! Very beautiful. I love it! Are the overhead doors specially made, or "filling station" doors? Reason I asked is they resemble them. I sure like 'em!

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for no posts yesterday. No time. Didn't mean to leave everyone hanging!

Thanks for all the compliments! The garage was the only part of the house I cared about when we were building.

The Garage floor is a grey epoxy base. Then they put about 1/8 inch of black, white and grey chips on top of the wet epoxy. After that dries, they vacuum off evrything that did not stick, and then put clear on top tp seal it all. It came out great, and hides a few imperfections in the floor.

The glass doors are similar to gas station doors, I just picked the mirrored/tinted glass, and had the frames powder coated green to match.

The garage on the front right is our "everyday car" garage. The Avalanche is usually in there, and my wife's mini van. It is two cars deep, so it can actually hold four cars.

The garage on the glass door size is just a storage room. It has our off road go-kart and lawn stuff in it.

I will take some more pics of the house sometime this week. I will post them up as soon as I can.

Thanks again for the compliments!

Rick

very nice house and garage!. How long did the flooring contractor wait between the time he added the flakes and when he applied the sealer?

He sealed the floor the day after the flakes went down.
