Has he been abducted by aliens or... more probably got the MK2 .:R finished and had developed a hardcore crack like habit for Super Unleaded
It's a mess at the minute. I haven't painted the walls yet but I'm still loving it The R32 is in there at the minute
painting the walls makes a massive difference, i have just got my hands on some LED strip lights, wow they are bright!! i have also just put down some rubber flooring from here http://mototile.com/500mm-interlocking-floor-tiles.html
the floor area isnt very big, unfortunately. the online calculator http://mototile.com/tile-calc-metric.html said i would need 44 tiles and 4 ramped edges to cover ~10sqm, however i decided instead of cutting the tiles to give a straight edge up against the the wall i would leave the jigsaw type edge as it fits almost perfectly. so have a box extra (10 tiles) to send back. delivery was 2 days. and she threw in a 'free' non marking silverline mallet. its really good actually, i would recommend it, definately better than having carpet like my old bigger garage i have the recycled tiles.
We have the "motomat" (the black one with circles on it) and while it's a good non-slip surface i find it abysmal to clean, with the mop catching on the joints and pulling it up. I think the only way would be to put them down one by one and bind them to the floor as they are forever coming up if something catches them. Maybe a tiger seal type bond, bond them one by one and make the edges all perfect so it's flat. Wrecks my head at work every day!
thats odd the my floor is proper smooth, i can barely feel the edges, even when im in there bare foot.
Alan, ours has cars driving over it twenty times a day maybe that has something to do with it. I painted the floor in the garage at home and its OK, not fantastic. Doesn't respond well to having things dropped onto it, chips off easily.
I painted the last garage floor with red floor paint, it looked all ok, did a ok job of keeping the dust down, but it did as you say chip if you dropped something on it and it did come off on where I was always working. BUT it was much better than nothing and it did a huge job of keeping the dust down. So when we moved house and the new garage was on the cards I started to look into the options for the floor. I looked into the commercial spec two part epoxy paints for floors. BUT to do this properly I would need to have the garage totally empty for 2-3 days, never going to happen. So the 3rd option 600kg of porcelain tiles the test fit to see how they should look. I might start a new thread.
Love the look of that! Very modern and contemporary with the high wall splash back. Gives me ideas, I was just going to 2 part epoxy mine. How much did the tiles cost? Make sure you use a dark grout!
