Garage progress....
#80
Just got authorized to post and have been watching this thread with great curiosity. I'm in the process of a similar project, but needed to get zoning clearance from my city to get a ceiling height that is high enough for the Bend Pak's.
Shank, what is your interior ceiling height? Why Bend Paks instead of some other brand? Why 220 Amps? Did you mean 220 Volts (for the lift pumps)? I'd love pictures of how your contractor did the electrical connections. Contact off-line if you think it's best,
Congratulations as well,
Glenn

Ok i'll pm you my cell. I will take some close ups of the connections. THe lift uses a 220V power supply, so we had to put a 220V circuit in my garage. You also have to buy a seperate compressor to unlock the safety locks. You also need 15 quarts of ATF fluid for the hydrolics.

Very nice my friend! Do you need security for that garage of yours. With minimal food and a quick passenger seat ride in them from time to time, I can sleep in your garage and watch over those beauties. All kidding aside that garage makes me weak in the knees.

Well you get what you pay for. I take back everything I said about the VCT tiles. WHile Randy Kraft did a fabulous job installing it, the VCT hardly holds upto its claims. We put 2 coats of wax, yet still the HOT TIRE leaves yellow stains that is a ***** to come off, if at all. Then if you turn the tires in the garage, rather than pulling straight out, the tiles shift, leaving uneven gaps. I spilled oil on the floor, and now there is a slight yellow hue to the white tiles. The rubber threshold with contact cement keeps coming up everytime the viper goes in and out of the garage.
One word about VCT flooring: GARBAGE.
I am having Xtremegarages install RaceDeck this coming Friday. Sorry to those who bought VCT from reading my post. It sure did look great when it first went in, but my floor looks 15 years old now. Here we go again .....this time with RACEDECK 18" tiles.

Simply Incredible...Please post more pics after the Racedeck goes in....
Do you need to remove the lift in order to uninstall the tiles/install racedeck?
I noticed the Audi is still outside.

Shank,
Have you considered stained concrete ?? I did this for my garage and it is incredible. My pattern looks exactly like tile, but is unbelievably strong; I have a 1931 Ford that sat in the same spot for over a year, and when recently moved, left no marks/indentions. I have also dropped screwdrivers, left water standing, brake dust, etc..nothing bothers it. I move my Turbo and C4S in and out weekly and no marks on the floor, even when turning the wheel at slow or no speed. Also very reasonable; my 800 sq ft garage cost $1810.
