It actually comes in a double roll. Call them, they shipped fast. Also, it was the best buy on the net. $10.00 a roll (30 ft) on sale. Also, the paint took not quite one gal of the red, two coats. I also used a light pink tint (Kilz) under coat. I estimate that I did the entire garage (floor, walls, trim) for about $250.00.

 

Bob......you got skills bro.......

I love your garage......!

....my brother did something similar last year only he doesn't have Elvis up yet.....

Tell your wife that Dave1 understands and he's in a program for the same affliction.......

 

Dave,

Thanks for the props. My wife is a very understanding woman. This world would be a lot better off if all women were like her. Stay tuned for stage two. I have a couple of other ideas.

 

Wow, I like what you did in your whole garage and I really like your painting and you can do one for me any day

 

That is awesome!

You did a fine JOB!

Just don't drink too much while hanging out in the man cave! Might get a little too dizzzy!

Thanks,Matt

 

Which section of the floor did you start laying the tile down first?

 

Looks great!

 

Did you have to clean your floor somehow real good first? How old was your garage floor to begin with? Id like to do to mine but my garage floor is 30++ years ?????

 

Looking.

 

Your garage looks great!!

I'm anxious to do mine and I am also interested in what prepwork you did.

 

Looks great!

Looks great, a nice retro feel to it!! All you need now is some chick on roller skates to serve up the drinks.

 

Whenever I tile a floor I snap a line in the middle of the room which is parallel to a fairly straight wall. (Example a north/south line) Then, mark the exact center of that line. Now, mark a similar line at a 90 degree angle to the first line at the center point you just marked. By doing this, you will have divided the room into 4 equal quadrants. This will give you a starting point. Start putting the tile down from that center point and work towards the edges of the room. Your first tile must fit exactly on the north/south and east/west line so that the edges of the first tile match the 90 degree lines you have made. It is also a good idea to find a nice straight 10 to 12 foot 2 X 4 to keep you first row in line. After that, it really goes quickly. Have your wife or someone else remove the paper backing from the tiles and you do the actual install. Also, on the back of each tile are arrows indicating the direction the tile should be laid. Make sure you honor that arrow so that each tile will fit properly against the previous one you laid down. If you find yourself gaining a little you may have to trim a sliver off of a tile to get you back on track. This is a very simple install once you get going.

 

I am in the middle of painting my garage and the checkered border and the red paint is a very awesome and original idea. I have a black coupe so most probably will do the lower half black with the checkered border. I recently did the peel-&-stick tiles in my guest bathroom and they are real easy AFTER the first tile is set RIGHT

 

All I did was to wash the floor and rinse it a couple of times. Make sure it is absolutely dry before you begin to tile. One little hint. As you put the tile down, use your hand or a soft whisk broom to brush away any small rocks or other debris or it will show up like a sore thumb after you place the tile down.

Again, I want to tell all of you that I do not know how this will hold up to ice melting on the floor in the winter. There is a product that you can use to actually glue this tile down but I did not use it.

 

That looks AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Post up some more pics if you have them, and some of that shop!!!!!! I plan on building a 60x40 in the near future and might have to snag a few of your design que's!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

It looks great!

 

I gotta tell ya, you don't want any picks of my actual shop. It is the original gearhead mess. When I finish the reto-garage, I will post some more pics.

 

RKhegler:

I have coleected jukeboxes for 20 years. I know them pretty well. I have the real deal that looks like the cardboard version in your garage. I've owned over 30 boxes and curently have 5.

I'll be more than happy to help you find a box you will be happy with and not pay too much. No, I'm not selling mine, but just like Corvettes, it's best to talk to those that know about them before jumping in feet first.

PM me if you would like my free help.

Joe

 

Whoa, RK! Way, way, way beautimous, good buddy! Love it! Well done!
