nice, what was wrong with the existing floor?

 

[nickj718]

Well despite my best efforts of cleaning and etching the bare concrete before i painted it black it was coming up. So I stripped it sanded it with a floor sander and applied my tile. Love it so far easy clean up and the tile is has great traction when wet not slippery at all.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm glad you posted the before and after pictures. It confirms for me that I definitely want a different color for that 3-4" concrete wall all around the perimeter of the garage. I prefer your red one to the color matched one you have now.

Why'd you change out the red part?

Looks good, any particular reason you did 8x8 vs. 12x12? Unrelated... how did you get your SeaDoo off the trailer and on to the stand? I'm looking for an easy way to remove a Seadoo off a tandem trailer and into my garage for repairs..Thanks

Mmmm seadoo

Floor looks great!

mmmm seadoo is right! Love those damn things I get them over the winter paint them fix them and sell them.

To put my seadoo on the stand i built a stand that is the same height at my trailer. To remove it i simply spray the bunks down with water and slide it off the trailer and onto the stand. I usually hook it to my car so the trailer dosnt scoot to.

I changed the red because it it was getting dirty and i was sick of it. Plus the grey makes the garage seem bigger to me. No offense to each is his own.

I did 8x8 tiles because they are more forgiving if your floor isn't 100% level. I'm super happy with the tile its great.
