Matt I'll take pics during the process and post here. I had epoxy floors for years and wanted to try something new.
To end it at the garage entrance you use the kit at tis link.

Default Now with PICS

Put down the new floor today and couldn't be happier with the results!
Instructions said 2.5 hrs to install, it took me and 2 other middle age guys that all love beer and cake 4.5 hrs to install :-/

Looks great. When it gets dirty, and it will, I used a push broom and whatever car wash soap I had lying around. Then hose off.

That looks great. Is it like a hard ABS plastic? It says 'contains no rubber', just wondering what the texture is like? Does it have any elasticity at all so it doesn't simply crack under load?

Yea the plastic is hard with no elasticity at all. My friend has same tiles and uses floor jacks all the time with no issues.
Jacks stands he said to place some plywood under them as the jacks stand edges will dig into them

After hosing off did you ever have any issues with water trapped underneath and stagnating?

They snap together so tight I would think nothing can drain between titles.

My outer garage is 16ft X 21ft that I tiled so I bought 8 boxes.
Each box is 48 sq/ft so I had a few left over that i'll store and use for any damaged areas in the future.

You also have to buy a $60 box of finishing. Consists of 22ft of the garage entrance slopes and 10 extra tiles.

I had a fairly healthy grade in my old garage with high concrete borders (like yours). I gave it a good cleaning once a year. Figured that was sporadic enough to prevent any type of nasty mold as any water would evaporate.

The rest of the year was just some simple floor sweeping.

Thanks for posting. This looks great!

It's on my todo list for the summer along with a garage clean-up/make-over. I have two pillars between a 2-car garage space and a single car area that will make it interesting....I'll have to measure and plan out the entire lay-out so I don't end up with weird pieces around the pillars.

Thanks for sharing your work!
