Default Its called Labor Day for a reason- garage story

With the able assistance on my daughter, a 7 lb dog and a few Stella Artois, we went for the transformation of the other side of the garage which has lasted 8 years with the same self-adhering Armstrong tiles- 69 cents/sf. This despite snow and ice grunge deposited on it from SUVs. It wasnt quite the Herculean labor of cleaning out the Augean stables, but close. The machines are very happy now.
Have a great holiday weekend all,
Zed

Wow what a difference a new floor makes!! Let me guess....you parked the left and the right first then the 993 last. Did you climb out thru the sunroof?

Zed: Nice work! Finishing in a day is an impressive effort. This should keep Stymphalian poop off the paint.

LOL, my son parked the cars starting from far right, sequentially to left. 356 was last one in and there was plenty of room to open the drivers door to exit. Getting them out will be another story. Actually for winter storage the cabrio will be behind them perpendicular on rolling wheel carriers.
Cheers!

Floor looks great. But the posters look nice also. Have them framed and you'll love your garage even more. Good work.

Dude, the dangling bicycle is freaking me out.
That has to be moved.
Garage is awesome otherwise.

Default to your questions

-Armstrong self adhering Stylistik II tiles- Home Depot, 69 cents/sf
-Too many posters, the great ones are framed and adorn the Rec Room. These are ones the spiders can decorate
-The bike, geez you should see what's on the other garage side
Cheers-
