Garage Floor is IN!
Hey all,
After much research here and elsewhere on the pros and cons of epoxy, lock-tile, race-deck, etc. I decided on the Race Deck. Got a relatively good price from a local installer and did most of it myself. He cut the edge tiles on one side while I laid the main section. We had the whole 3-car floor done in 1.5 hours. Very pleased with the results. Some pictures of the before, after and with the vette on it are below. Thanks for all of the indirect help and support.

Some might think I would be being bold if I were to ask you how much you paid for that. So, let me be more refined and ask this:
What might one expect to pay for that type of floor in a garage that is, say, the size of yours?
Looks great, I must add!

Thanks everyone. The garage is 700 sq. ft. and the list price on the 18" x 18' Race Deck-XL is $3.75 a sq ft. I paid $2.89. You can find it a little cheaper on-line but shipping is high. I was thinking about Lock-Tile but the shipping from N.Y. was $250, which brought the price above $3.00 sq ft. I chose the Race Deck over the epoxy and glued VCT tile so that I could take it with me if I moved.

Your garage floor looks great. Sure does make for a nice place to park the C5.
