My 992 is on order so we did a major garage redo over the past year. I've got a mix of Sonic, New Age and Custom Built Cabinets. I do a fair amount of Custom woodwork for both my home and business so while I keep it very clean this is a working garage. It might have been big enough to squeeze 2 cars in empty but currently its a 1 car space and I'll be keeping it that way. Believe it or not the Garage AV System is very mild compared to the rest of the home but when it's your business it becomes easy to justify.
@SFAVGUY - My new garage is about to be insulated and dry walled. I have cable tv in the house, but what is a clean and easy way to wire up a tv in the garage for occasional watching? I don’t want to order/rent another cable box from Verizon. I need to run all the wires this week. Garage is attached to the house. Thanks!!
ty, looks great, i'd love to do that but the slippery factor would be an issue in winter...those containment mats could be the solution if i went that way, but not looking for extra work!

VERY slippery when wet
and high maintenance. you have to mop often
terrazzo look epoxy is easiest but not as suicidal
yes the slippery factor eliminates it for me, love the look though!
Polished concrete floors do not need to be slippery. It takes a little bit of work to do it correctly; it is not that hard but there is some science to concrete. It requires experienced professionals to help you in new construction with: correct aggregate, of course over-rebar to minimize cracks, absolutely proper pour, pour temp, and curing which varies depending on climate and this is very important, polishing properly and (possibly) with sand but not over-polishing, and finally the appropriate top coat which has another complete science behind it, me I had a special blend Polyspartic/clear epoxy blend.
Concrete will crack, and it is important to allow for it to settle, then properly fill, before you top coat. I flew in a team from Chicago to pour this shop.
I feel like I have a PhD on this, but at one time I did a 0.5M sq. ft. shop in epoxy for my business, and that experience taught me a lot.
Here are a couple of shots of my little shop from ~4 years ago before the shop was filled. A little difficult to photograph since it has multiple extensions/sections as my wife wanted the exterior to look proper. I actually followed Mooty's guidelines on spacing, and osu s2k knows a ton about this stuff. PM them for info.

can you summarize “Mootys guidance for spacing”. Building a new house and want to make sure I’m not missing anything. The floor looks great btw.
