scottb Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) Looking great. And takes time. My garage is only 20 x 20. Each side has a roll up garage door.When I first moved in, there was the old school "flip out and push back single piece" door.I installed 2 used wooden roll up doors from the classified section ( pre-Craigslist days).Now that I added siding, I also installed 2 aluminum roll up doors. I currently use the one side for the wife's car and the other side has my bike, snow thrower and lawn equipment. I plan to add cabinets instead of the cheezy wood shelves I built when we first moved in. Edited December 18, 2011 by scottb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoblick Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 got some more done tonightdiamond plate kick panels around the work bench and baralso got the front of my bar done.. i had this design in mind for it, so i went to making it. 3" orange stripes, and the HD bar and shield made out of diamond plate with a wood backer painted black. i drew up the logo free hand (came out pretty decent for free hand) and cut with a jigsawstill have to wrap the stripes around the side yet, but it was getting late so i called it a nightsome after clean up pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conn-e-rot Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 How pricey is the flooring? I was planning on epoxy coating my garage floor next summer but the flooring would last longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simplysix Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 How pricey is the flooring?

Hoblick Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 How pricey is the flooring? I was planning on epoxy coating my garage floor next summer but the flooring would last longer.RaceDeck Flooring is $3.89 sqft + shippingif your a GarageJournal.com member you can get it for $2.69 sqft and free shippingi opted for the GarageDeck, which is basically the same exact thing as racedeck, made by the same company (SnapLock Industries)i called snap lock and asked them the difference between the 2RD 15 yr warranty GD 12 yr warrantyRD 1/2" thick GD 1/2" thickRD 55000 rolling lbs of weight GD 44000 rolling lbs of weightRD diamond tread/coin/smooth/ patterns GD coin pattern onlyRD 10 color choices GD 8 color choicesRD $3.69 sqft ($2.69 with discount) GD $1.99 sqfti was not concerned about weight, because i dont own anything that will even come close to the 44000lbs of weight.you can even use the RD with the GD (because its the same product, just labeled different)the composition (materials used) are the same in bothso it was a no brainer for me to go with garagedeck and save $.70 a sqftwould rather of had the diamond plate tread, but for the savings..RD for my 20x22 was almost $1300 shipped (thats with 18' of front edging by the garage door)GD was $930 shipped, with 22 extra tiles (measured the garage and it was about 4" wider than i though so i need those extra tiles ) and the front edgingi saved probably more than $400 (i didnt include the 22 extra tiles i needed in the RD qoute)if you do order just call them up and mention your a Garagejournal.com member and you get free shipping on the garagedeck product. lower price and free shipping on the race deck.the reason i wanted this flooring, is because my floor is pitted, cracked, and just bad shape. it would cost more to fix and then do an epoxy, and then will it hold up for 12yrs? and if i move i can pick the floor up and take it with me.

Hoblick Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 anyone who wants to come check it out after i get it all down is more than welcome.also if you call snaplock industires they will send you a sample of whatever you are interested in.i didnt know that before hand or would have.but from all the postive reviews on both racedeck and garagedeck, my mind was pretty much made up.if you havent checked out garagejournal.com, its a forum well worth browsing around.
