Default New Garage Floor.... Ugh, My Back...

This all started from a post by Steve 96C4S on November 15. In the replies, Marc Shaw posted a link to The Garage Journal ( http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/f...splay.php?f=20 ). I was hooked.

I have lain over 900 square feet of VCT (Vinyl Composite Tile) following the instructions of the many links on the site. I have sealed, waxed and shined.

The final cost will be under a grand. I still get to rent a 17-inch high-speed polisher to put the final touch and mirror like finish on it.

Thanks Marc and Steve.... I owe you guys one

Wow.... that is sweet. I've been looking to do this for a long time, but haven't had the time or knowledge. May be a spring project for me.

Great job! Did the same floor in my garage a year and a half ago. I love it.

Looks great! How long has it taken you so far?

Where are the horses that go with those saddles?
