Default New garage for a spyder
OT, but it includes pictures of a spyder, so why not? I thought I'd share with you guys my new garage. Just finished remodeling it this past weekend. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. Now I can keep the spyder and still have room for another car!

As long as you move your cars in too, I'm all for it.

Great Garage Joe.... well done... would you share details about the flooring?

What are the height requirements in order to install a lift like that?

Congrats again it looks great...

That looks fantastic!

Questions
1. Did you install the floor yourself?
2. Is that tile and if yes what type?
3. How much time for the floor install and how long before you could use it?

Thanks, afshin!

1) No! LOL. All I did on my own was install the cabinets.
2) Yes. PEI grade 5 Porcelain tile
3) It took them about 8 days to do the tile. That was definitely the most labor intensive of the project. They had to grind down the floor to make it level first, bullnosing, etc. I was able to walk on it the following day after install.

Some info on porcelain tile for garages:
