Default My Garage, My addiction... First it was VCT Floor, Now it's Mirrored! Photos!

Almost two years ago I laid the tile floor in my garage, 960 square feet worth and my back still feels it!. It looks good, but I wanted more. I looked at cabinets and couldn’t find anything that would work without taking a mortgage out on the house. So, I went to Lowe’s and special ordered sliding mirrored wardrobe closet doors. I have some heavy-duty shelves in the back that are 24inches deep. But with the typical garage stuff (paint, oil and so on) it was unsightly. This seems to have done the trick.

That would scare me, looking at myself all day long. I'm all right looking but damn, that's a lot of glass to clean.

Looks real sharp though, nice work.

I would bust my a$$ on that floor the first time I spilled a bit of fluid on it.

Looks great though! I'm just jealous... don't mind me.

Is that a M5 in the backround? I have been looking at 550i as well and curious on your thoughts.

Don't worry about it.

I posted mine and I just worked with what I had.

All those mirrors really reflected the unfinished ceiling really well...
