Default Garage makeover!
Been a while since I have posted. My wife and I moved into a new house and I have been busy. I finally finished (close to) my 3.5 car garage.

For the most part, I installed a Pro Park 8S and just today Racedeck Tuffshield tiles. If anyone is thinking of either, they are both great....

Enjoy the pic's, let me know if anyone have any questions. I don't have any affiliation with either company but recommend both....

A quality neon sign would look great in there..

Looks good as it is though.

Thanks for all the props guys. The tiles are 12 x 12, but I installed them in sets of 4 to make a 4 foot square. got them from racedeck.com. I do have to say that I woke up soar today from all the up and down bending...

I have been on this board since 2002, looking at other similar garages that guys have posted. I too have been jealous.... I think looking at others achomplishments have motivated me to work harder and be smarter with money. My friends and I call e-bay "dream bay"..... Another website of motivation...

Too often I see friends spend $200 going out to a bar and I think, ten night of this and they could have a lift too....

Anyway, thanks again....
