wow and double wow!!

I don't know what I can say that others haven't already expressed, but Well Done Sir, well done.

I really love the doors you choose for the garage (I definitely want those for my house) The upstairs of garage looks amazing and great colour selection for the stain.

I hope to build my own place in the next five years, you gave me some great ideas!

Enjoy!!

thank you. where you're from I'd suggest the heated floors in the garage I have. We've had a cold snap and it's 65-68 degrees in there now. It's my favorite part. The garage doors I'm really happy with.

Trust me, that's the TOP of my list.
Here's a snap I took on my phone from last week
-15 Celsius (5 degree Fahrenheit) - eekk

Can't wait for summer!

Very breathtaking setup. Are the garage floors acid stained? If so can you tell me the color and make? Thanks.

Not stained yet. I actually sell them and can't figure out the stain color I want for inside the Pool House or the garage. The garage is just sealed right now. Basically all acid stains are manufactured by the same place or similar to each other in make up. That's why there really is only a few colors to choose. You won't go wrong with any manufacturer of stains. Just know they look different depending on age of concrete and floor finish. I highly recommend sampling in a corner to see what they look like. The brochures aren't always that close.

Thanks for your reply. Here I thought you used a combo of dark and light stains to get that cool look!! It looks really good as is! I always thought this was acid stained as well but maybe I am wrong..... What is your opinion:

that looks nice. it looks a little gray to be acid stained though. Very tough to tell in that photo. It looks like someones showroom floor you should just call them to find out.

Acid stains tend to be more browns or off color not typically that close to actual concrete color.

It could be a very light coat of tan of sorts. subtle looks nice with acid stains i think.
