Garage is Done!

Well I finally had a free weekend to install the Garage tiles. I purchased them from Costco about 7 months ago. Thanks to some tips from Eric Sandoval, it was a fairly easy install. My wife and I actually did it all in about 7 hours. She did most of the middle section while I cut the edges and corners. The three car garage took 12 boxes and 3 boxes of the edges. Also took about 5-6 boxes of the Pergo undercoating. I decided to do the larger 4 square pieces, for a couple of reasons, one it looked better in the larger garage, and second, it was less work

So here are the before and after pics.









Pergo Padding and new tiles



Notice the wifey hard at work




Two sides done..









And shes all done...

All tucked away for the night...

Great end result. Congrats. Thinking about something similar for my garage. Can you use a floor jack and jack stands safely on your tiles? How does it drain?

i wouldn't use floor jacks or stands on there. i tried a piece of racedeck out and my motorcycle kickstand dented it. the tiles don't drain pe se. the water sits on top, but will run through the seams some.
