Yes that is my airhose on wall and it runs back ot the compressor.
I do not have a ratfink poster, I wish I did !

The floor is Armstrong tile the type that is glued down and is holding up very well.
My car and van are parked in the garage all the time and I do a lot work in it also.

How does the tiles hold up against a floor jack or have you had that opportunity yet. I would think the weight of a vehicle would let the jack dent the tile unless something was put under it to distribute the weight.

I thought about using the industrial tiles as well but worried that my jack stands would dig into them.

You say you do a lot of work in there......are you jacking your car up and placing it on jack stands at all?

i've noticed a lot of interest in those tiles. The commercial/industrial grade version of those tiles hold up extremely well. I plan on getting them for my 2 car garage, however, it's very very expensive.

I took 3/4 plywood and covered it with low pile carpet and use them under the jacks and stands.

Home Depot sells them for $27 dollars per box of 45..........
It cost me $306 dollars for tile,glue and trowel..........and I have extra tiles if I damage any..............This is very little money and gives a great look !

I was talking about the industrial grade ones, they are like 4 bucks a sq. ft. and get cemented in place. Of course, they are resistent to oil, and other car fluids, so it's worth the cost.

I'll probably do the peel and stick routine when it comes time, but if i had the money i'd do it right.
