You mean there are other cars that leak oil too?

Nice, I'll have to get supplier info from you and check out the company that Dell mentioned also. Once i have cabinets installed in the garage it would be nice to do this.

OP: Is that white angle iron running around the perimeter of your garage about 4 inches off the floor? It appears to be level with the house floor, does it serve a structural purpose?

Looks like the top of his frost wall that is higher than his floor elevation to me.

Can you use a floor jack on those tiles or will it damage them?

Good question. I am not sure using a floor jack. I would probably opt to put a 1' x 1' piece of plywood under the jack, just to spread the weight over a larger area.

No, that is not angle iron.

The lower part is, I believe (I did not see the house in the construction stage), a pressure treated 2" x 8" which is the base plate of the exterior wall. The base plate sits on top of brick. The wall studs are 2" x 4" so the horizontal painted part you see is approximately 2.75" of the base plate that is not covered by the wall. The vertical part is a 6" high decorative base board which was used throughout the house. The builder painted the exposed base plate to match the base board.

Let me know if this does not make any sense. If not, I'll try to get a close up pic tomorrow.

Tim, you really should paint that wheelbarrow red and black -- it clashes badly...

That's cool. I did the epoxy thing a few years ago and for all the prep work and application find that it's lifting. I'll probably go with this solution.
